    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.

    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.

    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"

    Is it just me, or does Tesler look like Jamitov Hyman from Zeta Gundam?

    Over a year after it was announced, Disney's decided to uncharactaristically unveil the first episode of the new series for free on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjbwVzJR8w4&feature=player_embedded Just watched the whole thing, and after expecting absolutely nothing from a Disney XD series, I was totally blown away. The story, design style, acting, execution, all suprisingly awesome. Dare I say better than the first episode of the new Thundercats series. The character design & animation reminds me of a combination of Tron Legacy & the old Out Of This World PC game series. Dare I say this first episode was so good i totally expect this series to get canceleld becasue there's no way I trust a kids cable network to support it. Here's hoping I'm wrong and it has a full story arc run. I also hope they can keep up the story & animation quality, but considering it's got a heavy dose of CG, the aesthetic should at least hold up. Oh, and did I mention Starbuck is the voice of the grid?

    NECROMANCY! Looks like Kick-Ass 2 is back on. http://www.fandompost.com/2012/05/09/kick-ass-2-heads-to-universal/

    Model needed some Zaku's & GM's.
  11. Keith
    I'm hoping for August/September. Even with these types of ticket sales, theater's aren't what they used to be.

    Keeping in mind that The Dark Knight while great is far from perfect. It's a superhero movie that succeeds because of the awesomeness & acting ability of it's central villain, and hopes you just kinda forget that the main hero only has 2 acting modes (douche, & bad gravilly voice).

    All file sizes are usually listed up on the PSN, but I think they average at about a gig, sometimes smaller depending on the game. PS1 support still hasn't happened, but the list of compatible PSP games has just increased. In general, I'd reccomend upgrading to a higher memory card. I've got a 32 gig, and only have about 10 gigs left, mind you 7 gig is MP3, and the rest is misc download stuff.

    And there you go again right back out the window.
  15. Keith
    Live up to the hype? It didn't just live it up, it threw a nuclear missile through a portal into space and blew it up!
  16. Keith
    I do believe that's the most understandable thing you've ever said. Good job!

    I see where you're confused. You confuse Mumrah's ineptitude in doing anything "but" destroying one pocket galaxy, with and his s'posed masters being able to wreck just about anything. Fact: Mumrah is all bark & no bite, needs others to do just about everything for him (probably wrap him too), and can't even keep his ranks in check. Basara on the otherhand defeated interdimensional energy beings with the capability to nuke you, vaporize you, fold just about anywhere they want, and (for the most part) can keep their crew together. So no, Basara clearly wins this one.

    Nope, that was a deconstruction of a superhero team up movie.
  19. Keith
    Name "1" live action super hero team up movie that's better than this. And "The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai" doesn't count.
  20. Keith
    Why so serious?
  21. Keith
    Nope, closest I got was "Shining The Holy Ark," which bored me to tears.
  22. Keith
    Why is that roided up hampster dressed like Captain America? That has "everything" to do with it. At the very least you should have seen Iron Man 1&2, Captain America, & Thor.
  23. Keith
    Mumrah is nothing to Basara, one speaker pod gamma into his ship, and all of the species would band together to toss Mumrah out into space. Basara took out the Protodevelin, ancience spirits of evil ain't sh!t!

    The ultimate release wait still beongs to Giant Robo. I'd say the current robotech movie projects trump even that, but there's no intent to actually make anything there in the first place.
  25. Keith
    Never played 1 or 2, why start now?
