Hey if they can't fix Far/Near sightedness you think they can fix your spine?

Thanks to the release of Macross II & Macross Plus one the first things I search when I went online was Macross. I only got about 5-6 items from Books Nippon. Stuff was expensive back then. Translation = as minor I couldn't get a real job and allowance/birthday money only went so far. You can beg family for money but only to a certain degree. I still have one of their old catalogs somewhere.

I'm going with that answer. There are a ton of lazy people out there. Old people are the worst offenders. Once you start getting older people offer to lift heavy objects for you. Offer to give you the nicer seat. They get better parking spaces, preferred seating on the bus. Senior Special discounts. After a while they think are entitled to a discount everywhere because of there age. They assume that someone will pick up or get them something. Our society (well many societies) teaches us to respect and take care of the elderly. These old bastards have taken advantage of us. As a side effect of no longer doing simple things like opening a door for themselves their muscles have shriveled, along with other body parts to the point were they are crippled. If only they weren't so quick to use the motorized carts before they actually really needed them. Next time you see a active senior citizen be sure to give them a thumbs up or a man-to-man head nod. When you see a weak one be sure to yell, "You're what's bad for America and you smell like pee." Oh of course anime seems to be very youth obsessed. When characters age they age bad. Look at Ray for crying out loud. He's suppose be about 28 but looks 50. Mao at 51 is like really 102 in anime years.

Oh how blessed art thou computer who has given thy self Macross Remember the old days? Before high speed connections, before YouTube, before the Internet? I think we take these tools for granted. If you want to know or obtain something go online and you're quickly on the way to finding it. This wasn't always been the case. In days past there was no Internet or it's use wasn't common. I have bunch Macross books and toys (Macross & Others) thanks to it. I have seen Macross that would never reach my shores thanks to it. I already knew that Robotech was made up of three other animated programs. I learned was left out & the original stories thanks to the Internet. Before you went Online how big was your Macross Universe? My first exposure like many was through Robotech. During the first airings (1985 & 1986) I was living in Orange county. Grandparents lived in Hollywood. Every visit to Grandma house we go included a trip to the Golden Apple. There I could obtain Robotech books, toys & comics plus a few Macross imports. The stuff from Japan looked nice but I didn't understand it. This wasn't just from a lack of understanding Japanese but from things like owning a DYRL book without seeing DYRL? Is this for a new Robotech Movie or something? After a family move to the rest of America I was cut off nearly entirely from Macross. Go a speciality store and you could find a few Robotech items. Extremely rare occasions you stumble upon Macross items. My first contact with a non Robotech version of Macross was a copy of the CLASH OF THE BIONOIDS. Rented it from a 7-11 on a country road in the late eighties. That's how it was back then. You really had to depend on your local Asian community. If you didn't have that it was the comic books stores. Things improved in the 1990's. National chain Video stores & Rentals started including anime. I learned about Macross II through the RPG books. I learned of Books Nippon. Got their catalog and catalogs from other mail order places. Paid for over priced products. Then waited 6 to 8 weeks. Saw all of Macross Plus by renting Episode 2 & 3 at one store, mail ordering the 4th Episode and buying the 1st Episode at an other store. Now you can just go online and purchase the entire OVA for the price of one VHS back in the day. Hardly knew anything of Macross 7 before the Internet. Once I got online it open a whole new world of Macross knowledge and product to waste money on. You kids have so easy being to young to remember the dark ages.

I think the Protoculture will always be surrounded in a mystery. Humans will never likely surpass them in super science or in legend. Humans have surpassed the Protoculture by not making the same mistakes.

Ozma is not macho enough to beat Roy. Wears an ear ring and listens to fire bomber. Sure he seems to act tough but every third episode he's injuried. Roy drinks to extreme levels of alcholic poisoning and then jumps in a Valkyrie to kick ass.

Some time during, history of the world part I. How we doing. Any converts today? Not a one Nay Nay Nay We've flattened their fingers We've branded their buns Nothing is working SEND IN THE N.U.N.S

Spoiler tags around an picture? Um no.

Screen Legend died today at 83. Off Topic yes but give it a day.

A Macross Frontier movie coming means two things. Either a bonus longer episode or a condensed re-telling of the series. If it is a condensed version what story elements or complete episodes would you omit from the movie. Michael & Kuran Kuran are gone. They would still make an one line appearance but there story is too secondary compared to Alto, Sheryl and Ranka. Same goes goes Alto and his family. Leon's coup. He was such an obvious villain but was too minor compared to Grace. They could done an episode or 2 with the NUNs chasing down the SMS but his defeat was rather quick with no conflict.

I'll just steal Duke's post and edit it for my own use

Okay ban me. While I feel more neutral the ending seemed rushed with too much stuff going on. Think how much time they spent in earlier episodes creating problems and most of them were solved in seconds. Too fast to really answer that much. Plenty of good mecha porn but that doesn't help the series that was too long with a finale that is was too short. Sorta felt like the Macross Zero Finale. There's a big build up but the end it is really quick, bunch of crap happens. I'm eager to see the movie as the series was about 15 episodes too long in the first place. Remove the all the filler episodes, add ten additonal minutes to the ending and my opinion of frontier will increase.

Don't know what to think maybe I need to wait for the subtitles. Seemed kinda of rushed. I guess I wanted Grace or Leon to give a "if you meddling kids only minded your own business my evil plans would have worked and here's why." I'm still scratching my head about what all the "villians" wanted.

He actually was given a temporary time out. It was meant for 3 days. He seemed to end it early on his own. A couple of days off is nothing serious. Just a reminder that a member need to cool down and that there are rules here. It was meant to help before things get too serious. His attitude before and actions during convinced me there wasn't much help for him. In the future I hope when we mods (especially I) have to give someone a time out they use the time wisey. Shall we close this topic now?

Japanese XL I bet would look like a muscle or baby-T on you.

This would be a nice one to have: http://www.cosmint.co.jp/order/ordermade/a20.html

I can easily explain that. You see the linens in that closet were cleaned by Oxyi-Clean, the Stain Specialist. The power of Oxygen infused with the cleaning power of water energized those clean linens. Any one who knows a thing about chemistry knows that is such a reaction reduces all super powers.

Okay how about Macross Frontier The Movie I & Movie II with 3 minutes new footage.

Considering the amount of filler episodes they could easily re-edit and package the entire series as 3 hour movie for next summer.

MOD ROY HERE I thought I being polite. I'm not going to play games or argue. This is how it is going to be. Review the Section on Spamming. Making short or nonsensical responses falls under it. Action isn't taken on every offender who makes a pointless post. We do allow people to have fun. Action will be taken because of the sheer amount. Also review this part: There are rules here. They can't be ingore by you and your friends for fun. Nor is this attitude acceptable. Since misterryno is the most vocal of this group he will be getting a few days away from the message board to calm down. If anyone else want to have this same attitude they can sit in the corner as well. When he returns. Please reduce the amount of these kinds of posts. Please try using the Messenger System.

Funny pics. I had a problem with Post #19 of this thread. I believe the author was notified about these types of posts. I will demostrate what he could have done instead. Example: misterryno #19 Corrected = you hurt my heart Isn't that better? Still a pointless post but takes less space and has been reduced to just one smiley. See it is still techincally a short or non-sensical responses/Spam but isn't so annoying as to draw everyone's attention to it.

Ever watch a movie. Have a good time watching it but after a few viewing you start to notice some flaws in the plot. Maybe you have some solutions that could have been used instead. I have one. The Karate Kid I watched it a few nights ago. Some observations. Daniel became a target of the Cobra Kai cause he tried to defend that's girl's honor. He didn't know they knew karate. Big mistake. I've notice two ways he could have resolved the issue without Mr. Miyagi's help. I. The next day at school (after his first encounter with Johnny) Daniel seems to be trying out for the Soccer Team. Other kids are making fun of Daniel for getting his ass kicked. Now Daniel with his YMCA black belt is no match for Johnny but he could have taken one of these non Cobra Kai hecklers. If he did it in front of Johnny then Cobra Kai would see potential in Daniel and allow him in their group. II. Later Daniel goes to Cobra Kai dojo for lessons, runs out when he sees that's where Johnny trains. What if he didn't run? What if he signed up? Yes the other students would be hard on him. Daniel is paying student the Sensei isn't going to lose a paying customer. He would have Johnny and gang lay off him. About Mr. Miyagi he is either a very incompetent handyman, the laziest or just plain dishonest. He has a job as the handyman for the apartments. The place needs work yet Mr. Miyagi spends his time with catching flies with chop sticks and his bonsai trees. Those trees he later turns into a business. He getting paid to fix stuff yet he does squat. Not to mention his own house needed major work. He teaches Daniel all about good Karate manners but he himself is a lazy bastard running a scam. My toilet is backed up. The oven won't turn on and there's is mold under the sink. I placed a work order in three weeks ago. Where's the maintenance man? Oh he's locked in the shed with his bonsai trees or fixing Daniel's bike. I got theories about Happy Days as well.
