No anime should be live action, NONE! However, I'd love to see Star Wars done this way: -Episode IV: A New Hope - Leji Matusmoto (He could best display the wonder, mystery, & hardships of a young mans new journey) -Episode V: Empire Strikes Back - Tomino (He could best display the crap hitting the fan aspects). -Episode VI: Return Of The Jedi - Shoji Kawamori (Climactic ending space battle, culmination of a love story, & a conclusive yet open ending). As for the first 3 films, probably a similar split, if not done by other anime directors.

I haven't found her annoying. While she does still ignore orders, rush into battles, etc, she's still pretty good natured, and is all business when a battle is in action. Plus the regular showers don't hurt either. The plot so far is pretty simple, not too much background on the Zor, and what is told is told through exposition at the beginning of each episode (like in the second or 3rd episode when we're told over the city PA that they found out the aliens are called Zor by monitoring their communications). The familiar Macross Seiyuu also help entertain. Overall, I'd say whle a weaker show than Orguss, it's still fun. BTW, the episode count is 5/5/5/4/4

Watched the first disc last night. Video: Remastered definately, colors are brighter, but it's also noticably granier than Mospeada, and has that same blue cast to it. Overall as good as could be expected. Audio: Pretty good, but also has a fair amount of static in it. Probably due to the show being less maintained than Mospeada. Extra's: Just some line art & clean opening & ending on the 5th disc, and some previews on the 4th disc. The show is fun so far, but the terrible mecha designs is probably what hurt its potential & got its run shortened.

I still find it amazing how much they had to change his designs for the animation, but I guess they did the same for all the Final Fantasy games as well. When you consider the fact that Tatsunoko contracted the animation, is it that much of a surprise?

You kids today, I swear. You get pretty well ripped DVD's bootlegged & $10 a pop of a show that may never get released here, and you bitch about the subtitles? Sheesh!!!

Ok, got my set today. I won't have a chance to watch it until later, but I did take a peak at the book included. It's not nearly as interview intensive as the Mospeada one, there are a couple of paragraphs, but not too much. There is an extensive chart of different military factions, as well as some character & mecha bio's. Overall, not bad at all. I'll give more impressions tomorrow once I actaully watch some episodes.

The Inbit only detect HBT, and while they can swarm, the U.N. Spacy has reaction weapons that would whipe out any given mass of them. As for the Refles, Basara & Sound Force would turn her around, making the whole invasion moot. Major difference between the two continuities is that in Mospeada, Earth had barely ventured out to Mars & Jupiter, while in Macross, people were all over the frakking place in colony fleets. Most likely Basara would send the Inbit to hang out with the Protodevilin, and they'd kick it back in whatever dimension they went to.

I'm in my early thirties. And you wouldn't believe some of the things I've done with cardboard since then! I{ishimoto Just as long as you don't follow that up by posting a picture of your wife, I think we'll be safe Natural follow up being, have you done a custom Yamato? Can't have the Arcadia without the Yamato. Or better yet, something more befitting the scale you build in, a custom Andromeda?

The same usual Macross greatness, with much much more fanservice!

More epic how? If an supposed ochestra sounding like a guy on a casio keyboard is epic to you, then what a wonderous world there is outside for you to explore. The Macross soundtrack was much more emotional, professional, varied, grandious, & just plain frakking cooler. The robotech soundtrack remains eternally dated even when it was new.

That is not amano, unless he's hit the bottle again.

Ok, it shipped, now it's just waiting for the damn thing to arrive. Has anyone gotten a hold of it yet? I find myself anticipating it more than I expected. I'm starting to remember bits & pieces of mangled robotech plot from when I watched it in 85. I can't wait to see how much more sense the original makes

There won't be anything (content wise) released after the final extended version, that would just be silly. I'm going for the standard extended versions (no bookends, A&E special, or statue). Don't have room on my DVD shelves for bookends or statues, nor the large box's they come in.

Never been bumped once. My plan is to rise up in the ranks to admiral, take over HG, and sell them to Big West!....is it any more silly than how HG's tred to take over the macross license?

Except that it's still just a fansub, and they themselves seem to have been confused on the issue. Not submittable as law

What are you talking about, she was always crazy, that's part of her charm. Remember the whole baby tossing thing? To be fair, Max was too. "You tried to stab me to death! I MUST HAVE YOU!" I think we can let that one go..... Bah, the whole knife fight thing is small potato's. All women get crazy once a month. She was hot, she was available, she was a virgin, and she loved playing video games. How often does that happen? Damn right Max scooped her up.

She's quite under-age you sick puppy.... Bah, she's of ripe child bearing age on her island. If I was animated & had one of those carved sticks.....

What about the preview changed your mind?

Damn, mine still says "available to ship" but hasn't actually left yet. Stupid bastard probably won't get it here until the end of the week!

Basara isn't even remotely closed minded, he's just not a murderer, end of story!

Maybe just having watched Orguss last year has something to do with my interest in the series. The design style (character) seems similar, and the catchy theme (& promise of fanservice) just add to the deal. I got it for $69.99 at dvdplanet, looks like it'll ship within the next day or so, & I should see it by tuesday/wednesday (hopefully) friday/sat at the lastest. As for extra's, I think there should be a book of interviews & such much like the one included with Mospeada. The specific contents aren't known. Sketch/line are too should be incldued too. Guess I'll just have to tell everyone what I thought after

Mylene never chose, though I can tell you she "will" eventually end up with Gamlin. The M7 fleet is still underway, held back by the massive reconstruction effort I'm sure. Basara doesn't take advantage of women, and the second time Rex came at him, he wasn't even concious damnit! He's a gentleman, that's all there is to it.

I'm sorry, but if Gundam can have Samurai masks, then the Sound Force Valkyries can have faces. What the hell is the big deal anyway? Lots of mecha have faces. And Mylene rocks damnit!

I read it, love the M7 Plus bit, and still say they did it before Stargazer
