    What's to get? Think of it as going against the scub coral in Eureka Seven, but a "lot" more agro.

    Psst, the BD also has the oriignal Japanese with english subtitles. As does the R1 DVD release.

    While I'm hardly a fan of the ADV dub, I don't get the love for the Robotech dub either. Hammy, melodramatic, way too much exposition, and terrible terrible singing. The fact that the ADV dub used the original music & vocals automatically places it higher.

    Come on, you expected something different to happen?

    While the quality of animation may not be up to snuff in some episodes, it's pretty damn good in enough episodes. HD itself isn't just about fancy animation, it's about max detail & color with minimum lost to compression. But hey, I've seen people that still swear VHS is good enough for them, and all I can say is those people should be locked away in padded rooms.

    New HD transfer isn't being milked, plus those extra's are sweet.

    Yup, it's just too bad the first pressing accidentally omitted an entire page. Rather than bothing with trying to exchange/request a copy of that page, I just printed out a picture of it and slid it in...

    That's the one thing you can count on with amazon no matter where in the world you are. It's full of haters who hate on products long before they actually come out.
  9. Keith
    Any signof early copies yet? I'm curious to see if the huge LE has the smaller box inside to hold the disc cases.

    I appreciate that they remembered the quintessential rule. No matter how unique your designs are, the female characters "must" be attractive.

    I got it for the PS3, and overall while it's nothing earth shattering, it's pretty fun for a movie license game. By far the best part is multiplayer online light cycle racing, though you have to level your character up a bit before you can competently compete. The game story itself is pretty straight forward, but it has some cool locations. The best way to describe it would be a 3D plattformer with Disc's of Tron combat & way too much parkour(sp?) thrown in. That's the games major learning curve actually, getting used to scaling & bouncing off of different surfaces without dying. Once you master that, it's pretty easy. Almost forgot to mention, I got it brand new on amazon for $10. For that price, I was very pleasantly surprised by what I got.

    Nope, pretty sure it'd be far more (re)watchable in Japanese
  13. Keith
    If that's actually what it is, then yeah, they'd probably dub it.

    Looked it up, and the Deculcha broadcast of the first ep was in Decemver 2007. I'd say that counts.

    Alright guys, how lucky are you feeling? Funimation apparently just announced via a podcast that they've licensed a "pretty sweet" series from 2007 that no would expect them to have. http://www.fandompost.com/oldforums/showthread.php?11608-FUNimation-plans-to-announce-a-quot-pretty-sweet-quot-quot-5-year-quot-old-license Cross your fingers!

    The way I heard it was that someone leaked that Priss was going to tie and be replaced with Vision. There was a fan outcry, and either the studiio forced a change, or someone on the staff forced a change. This resulted in Priss surviving Largo's attack, and vision being a one off character instead of a replacement. Scoop Chase was a cool episode, but clearly didn't have the heart that the earlier parts of the series had, so it looks like they called it a day. As for Crash, that was probably an attempt to revive the series with the leftover staff, but clearly didn't work out either. I've always found it interesting since 2040 seems far more influenced by Crash than Crisis. This is why I brought up Burst Angel, since it's far more Crisis than 2040 was.
  17. Keith
    No, I think Clu's influence was somewhat viral (at least that's the impression the prequel game gave). It's possible the damaged Tron we see here was doing his best to fight off the virus/reprogramming Clu gave him, which is also why he isn't able to fight himself. The white disc is probably something akin to user access that Flynn gave him.
  18. Keith
    Actually, 2040 was 24 TV episodes, with the last 2 episodes being released direct to DVD. As for the original BGC, it didn't have budget problems, it had a major staff fallout.
  19. Keith
    Not as great as the OVA, but still fun. Might also want to check out Burst Angel if you enjoy it. As for me, just inished re-watching Read or Die after some years, and started ROD The TV again.

    Mari needs to remember rule #1: NEVER POST ANYTHING PERSONAL ON THE INTERNET! It's a lawless frontier full of everybody, and you will almost assuredly hear the exact thing you don't want to hear just because someone finds it entertaining to say it.
  21. Keith
    The problem with Mari is that she essentially "ran away." Funny that Minmay still doesn't get the primary "Mnmay message." Regardless of whatever management assuredly wanted to control what she did, and regardless of the fanbase who just wants to hear the same thing over & over again, Mari has yet to take the reigns and say "listen to my song." She's just kinda hung back and hoped that people would listen. Chances are if she'd hung out in the anime industry for a while longer, sang some other peoples songs for a while longer, and played "the game" a bit more, she'd have been able to get her self financially into a place where she could make more rules. As it stands she does have much to be proud of, and what she keeps forgetting is that even though she's pretty much known for "one thing," in its circle it's a pretty big freakin' thing. Guess what I'm really saying is that while I completely sympathize with her, I also think she's being a bit moody, lettin' out the rage a bit at the wrong crowd. Someone mentioned Shatner, and that's an interesting comparison. He had his rage at the fanbase, he got to have his character killed off, and then what does the guy do? He complains that he didn't get to take part in the new franchise. Nimoy on the other hand kept his big trap shut, and is enjoying a bit more of the notoriety. I'm still not clear on just what Mari wants here. Did she want more diverse acting roles? Because I'm sure at soem point, definately by the mid 90's/early 2000's she could have gotten them. Did she want an idol music career? It seems to me that that's actually "not" what she wanted, and why she walked away. Did she simply want the accolades for her solo work? Because the U.S. just really wasn't the right move to achieve that. Hell our music industry is equally as narrow & controlled as the idol system she walked away from. When you add in the "we only like what's familiar aspect," then there's really little chance that she'd break through with her heavy accent. Someone also mentioned May'n, and so far it seems to me that she's much better at playing "the game" to remain relevant. She's changed her target musical style, she's picked up a variety of post Macross singing job's, and she's taking her opportunity's to slip in her own music into her industry releases. We've yet to see where that will go for her, but as of now, she's remaining relevant. I just hope Mari eventually understands that a lot of people not being able to seperate her from MInmay isn't because they only like a character. It's because they love the parts of Mari that brought that character to life. It could also be that Kawamori understands her feelings all too well. Perhaps the true reason why he's kept Minmay at a distance in the franchise is because Mari isn't ready to bring her back yet. (get ready for fan interpreted parallels). The Megaroad leaving for parts unknown could be relative to Mari leaving for the U.S. The tale end of the TV series actually is pretty telling of any idol being ground up in the industry going through the motions. And perhaps Mari did say she wanted to leave to go sing her own songs.

    Nope, it was always meant to take place before. As for the "Tron" issue, considering he was system protector, and is clearly "disabled" here, I think it's just a matter of him having a strong resistence to Clu's attempt to reprogram/change him. Assuming that the game "Tron Evolution" is still canon, then this already takes place after all of the Iso's were taken out.

    Just create a back up, you can either use a PS3 directly, or download sony's free media manager for the Vita. Once you have your stuff backed up, you can easily restore it to a new memory card.
  24. Keith
    I think June 7th is the first broadcast.

    Remember that the "dub" was done in Hong Kong in the 80's, and really, it's far superior to anything done in robotech. "NOW WATCH JET JOCKEY"
