Avoid the starblazer's DVD's. Aside from being dub only, they're very half assedly slapped together, terrible encoding, overpriced, etc. You can find all 3 Yamato seasons on HK DVD (very good subtitles) at just about anyplace HK's are sold. The whole series can be had for around $70, half the price of one star blazers season box set. I would also reccomend checking out the Yamaot movie set (r1) that pictures were posted up of above. While the encoding isn't that great, it's the only way to get the films currently.

Kinda looks like a combination of the V Gundam & Pheyos Valkyrie.... As for the Inbit, I alwasy thought they were energy beings that just took on biological forms to further their existence... Starting off with lower lifeforms like bugs, then dinosaurs, then humans, etc. Or are you guys just talking robotech?

There's a new Robotech game called Robotech:Invasion Is this the one you are referring to? I think it's on PS2 and XBOX Other then that I don't know of any macross game Assumedly, he's speaking of the Japanese Macross game that came out last year.

That's exactly what they did in SDF Macross, using Minmay's song. Only in DYRL and later shows was that changed. I think the confusion considering the TV series revolvses around the belief that it was Minmay singing Ai Wa Nagareru that won the war, which it didn't. Minmay's effect took place much earlier. It started with the Miss Macross pagent, & spread full swing once Loli Warera & Konda brought her music & their stories back to Britai's fleet. Minmay singing & kissing in episode 27 was indeed a diversionary tactic, but it's one that would not have worked unless the Britai Adoclas fleet hadn't defected against Bodolza before, due to being moved by human culture.

Maybe the claw is for running around & snipping off bikini's, like the crab robot in Mahoromatic!

A lot about the designs reminds me of Southern Cross. As far as Space Westerns though, don't forget to look towards Leiji Matsumoto.

Then the reasonable answer would seem to be the show's title is "Top O Nerae 2 - Die Buster"

Or perhaps....Lacus has a sister??

Don't forget the eyecatches also had "Gunbuster" spoken. What do the eyecatches for the new series (if they have any) say?

Sounds to me live you've got some issues, you too will listen to Basara's song!

Yeah dude... They would forget AAAAALL about that Jihad thing that they have been planing their entire life for. Damn right, I'd have them dancin' on the Planet Dance! I wish you were right. Unfortunately, I think you wouldn't make it through humming your first few bars and you'd be kidnapped only to have sick-o kids downloading crap quality AVI files of your decapitation... Well, I guess its a good thing you aren't in Iraq, if only to protect you from yourself. Perhaps you missed the part about requiring a VF-19 Kai? And as the rest, this is a discussion we've had many times before, guns don't kill people, people pulling the trigger kill people. You can destroy someones weapons, but you can't take away that killing intent just by pointing a gun at someone. The point of Macross is to change the sensabilities of the person behind the gun, not to distract them so you can shoot them. This is the principle that Macross 7 holds, just as SDF Macross, DYRL, Plus, & Zero do. & Edo, have you watched DYRL yet?

YOU WILL LISTEN TO VADER'S SONG!

Maybe I'm just a sucker for fanservice, but I can't wait until Destiny is finished!

The Mahoro design style probably would nhave worked better for the material, but oh well.

I say let Kawamori direct it!

Yeah dude... They would forget AAAAALL about that Jihad thing that they have been planing their entire life for. Damn right, I'd have them dancin' on the Planet Dance!

Now you're just being stupid.

Kojima has always been long winded, alwasy will be (if you'll recall, the end to snatcher was about an hour of spoken dialogue after your final battle), no big deal if you're used to it. And I also agree that you can't blame him for Twin Snakes, it was handled by another group. Point being, I want a 2004-2005 version of Snatcher damnit! Gilliam Seed was one of Kojima's most letcherous characcters yet. Aside from kickass storytelling & action sequences (MGS style fighting the Snatchers, and perhaps Silent Hill style scene investigation), the dating engine could be kicked into higher gear, "truly" exploring Outer Heaven, getting just the right camera angle to peak at his wife, Sneaking up on Katrina in the shower.....Snatcher will thrive in the day of the M rating!

Bitch, give me a VF-19 Kai with sound boosters & speaker system, and I'll solve that problem in Iraq immediately!

I just hope it leads to a remake, or perhaps a special hidden bonus of, the original Metal Gear 1 & 2. And while they're at it, Konami seriously needs to remake Snatcher using the MG or Silent Hill enigne damnit!

Yup, Bandai verified that we'll definately get the rest of the series. Now if we can just get someone to commit to Zero...

If you're looking for support, you're at the wrong forum. Besides, Yukikaze has nothing on Zero, in story or animation.

I actually really liked how they did Mu's death. He told her he wouldn't end up like her last boyfriend, had the Strike, was all geared up for a super badass fight, then "bam." That was a great twist.

I don't see where the goofyness is. Is it goofy to sing to someone instead of shoot them? And if so, why?

I mentioned it 2 days ago.... Anyway, yes, awesome demo, right down to being able to stab mushrooms! I can't wait for the full release, that time out is pissing me off. As for the other demo's, yes, robotech is super weak, especially that voice over. I loved the Ratchet & Clank demo though.
