    Speaking of Ace Combat. I'm reminded of (I believe) Ace Combat III. The one with the kid living in a town occupied by an enemy fighter squadron. Kid is the narrator of the game. The cut scenes have super limited animation. Might just be all still images. On the other hand the story within the cut scenes is engaging. A good story can make up for animation that is lacking. If there's good animation at least you can make up for a weak story by looking at the pretty pictures.

    An important thing to know is the making movies & television is a collaborate process. One person can seen as the mastermind with the guiding vision but more than one person is responsible for the success or failure. Kawamori is great at mechanical designs and has some good overall ideas. He wasn't the only one involved. I would say that his visions from Macross Zero and onward has been too visionary. That's not to say a good team couldn't make something good out of his visions.

    Hey I wasn't a fan of Frontier either but at least there were fewer poorly animated episodes.

    You'd think they'd ask for more money with the requests for more episodes. "We like what you did with those 13 episodes and your budget of 13 million. If we give you an extra 2 million can you make us 13 more episode?" Who agrees to that?

    But not selling out on the Monster, Glaug and mecha like them might mean they'll make less.

    I'm still waiting for Keith to say, "For you are the wind beneath my wings." To Roid.

    I got Max on pre-order but no Hikaru. It will just be Roy & Max defending Robotech.

    My favorite battle scene is when Keith yelled "Scissor me timbers!"

    That's the store I paid full price from.

    I think I'm going to answer every question that I don't know the answer to with "Wind Something."

    13 episodes does make sense. It would be easy to edit show afterwards down to 13. Even 13 half and hour episode wouldn't have been enough to feature all 3 groups of characters. Likely would have just focused on one. Delta reminds me of the last episode of Macross II. The animation was very good in Macross II until you get to the last episode. When it looked like the budget was cut and all the character animation suffered. Whatever was good about Macross II was damaged by how bad that last episode looked.

    While this is one of the better episodes. It doesn't fix the overall problem with this series. Too much plot and not enough time. They got the Triangle, Walkure & the Knights. With less than half an hour in each episode for them. In reality they needed hour long episodes. I think the 2nd half of the series suffered because they were playing catch up for the Walkure and the Knights. Now that they're caught up things can continue.

    Neutral (Spoiler-free review) Watched the episode without spoilers because I was looking to make screen grabs. The good thing is stuff actually happens and all the computer generated action scenes are really good. The bad thing is the character animation. It's all over the place. Most of it is really bad.

    Hikaru sold out (at fair prices) really fast. I hoping to there will be some at a fair prices after it is released.

    4 episodes to go right? Ending this series without dropping several previous storylines will be impossible.

    Watched it with the subs. Going to have to give it a Negative vote. There's a major problem this origin episode and it isn't just that it should have been told earlier in the series. The problem is who are they telling this story of their past to? If Freyja was arrested with them she could be their audience. Instead the 3 of them are all the story tellers of a story they all know? Parents will tell their children about they first met and fell in love. They (Parents) don't sit together and narrative something like this to each other. When you think about it the origin story wasn't even needed. We've already been told a lot of this information. In this episode Hayate, Freyja and Mirage didn't even appear. Are they not the main characters? Okay maybe they didn't have them appear because this was a Walkure episode but couldn't at least Freyja show up? She's part of the band. She could have visit them in space jail and that's when they tell Freyja the origin story of Walkure. That's when it would have made sense. You know when there's someone to tell the origin story to who didn't live through it themselves.

    Yes give us some 1/100 scale Zentradi too! And announce the next preorder.

    You can dislike a series as a whole and still like elements of it. Messer's storyline had its moments and Mirage was an interesting character until the 2nd half of the series.

    Final Sample Pictures From September's Set Here's the last of the sample pictures from Part 2 of Misa at Home. Next batch of sample pictures will released in October. Hopefully it will be from Mirage's set. Planning for a September shoot with her. She's a traveling model that's out of town half of the month. Scheduling can be tricky. Support by Clicking Here

    Colonel Sanders is an awesome idea! I miss the days when all wrestlers were cartoon characters with crazy gimmicks. If they had a wrestler named Baby Man a new fan would instantly know he's adult man in an adult diaper who acts like a baby. aby Man would be fighting some guy name Stinky Sammy. You would know by his name that his gimmick is bad body odor. Now they have normal sounding names and look like any angry dude at the gym with tattoos that needs to shave.

    Last hours predictions. Episode #21 better, same or worst than episode #20? I vote same. There will be singing. Runes will be stimulated. Hayate will stand near a VF but will never climb in.

    Isn't the girl band the real bridge bunnies?

    Interesting theory about Shammy. Would be cute if it was her.

    I have a feeling we are starting to turn against this show out of frustration. I've made it clear I was never a big fan. I've tried to judge each episode own its own. I gave this episode a neutral vote. Right now the Positive side has the fewest number of votes. I think people who have been with the series are frustrated by how things turned during the second half. The first half delivered so much more. By episode 20 people are expecting so much more.
  25. Roy Focker
    So with heavy editing could all the episodes be cut down to a single 90 minute movie that'll make more sense than the entire series?
