Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!

There's nothing more fun than getting into the nitty gritty details of bipedal fighter jets. -
I miss the more grounded atmosphere of the first couple FnF movies. Granted, that particular cultural zeitgeist of early 2000's tuner culture is dead, but it made for a more unique experience than "superhero movie but with cars", which the recent ones have leaned towards.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
AN/ALQ128 replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Netflix's decision to wait until months after the airing of the anime in Japan to release the show to the West is incredibly baffling, I just can't figure out the logic. By the time it comes out for the rest of us, everyone will have moved on to the next big thing. -
Yeah, never heard of Thomas Newman before, but I'll be sure to remember him, his work on 1917 fit the movie extremely well. This track stood out, as well as the one you posted. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O0CXa69GMp4

The one on the upper left seems to say "Macross-Nantoka". The lower left is too blurry, as Seto said.

I'm gonna assume (since I have a very limited understanding of aerodynamics) that the within wing engine nacelles probably incurred more drag than the more conventional engine-within-fuselage design of the VF-1 and VF-5000. -

Speaking of which, I believe the anime with the densest pop culture references-per-frame count has got to be Pani Poni Dash. As in, each frame had at least 10 references to movies, videogames, or even mid-2000's japanese internet memes. -
Completely agree, absolutely top notch war film. Touches on themes of duty, the senselessness of the Great War, extremely emotional, yet not overwrought. That one sequence in the destroyed french town at night is jawdropping beautiful, you'll know which one I'm talking about.

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
AN/ALQ128 replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na! is pretty good from its first episode. Great soundtrack, some impressive animation, an appealing art style, and it features some of the iconic scenes from Future Boy Conan (the first anime I ever watched). The premise of three friends making their own anime is cool too, especially if they really dive in to the specifics of how anime is made. -

Anno will be fine. He owns Khara and the rights to the Eva characters, and Shin Godzilla did extremely well iirc. Plus, the reason he did this was to distance himself from the shambling corpse of current Gainax, and the current case with the Gainax director who got nabbed for having sex with an underage voice actress. -
He will be sorely missed, a master of form, function, and gouache.

That game started its Kickstarter when I was 13 and now I'm 22. Talk about a protracted development.- 7114 replies

It's from the 90's, not the 80's, but I'd pay a lot of money for a bluray release of "Idol Defence Force Hummingbird". That was a fun OVA.

Aircraft Super Thread Mk.VII

The Japanese MoD are allocating 28 billion yen towards full scale development of the "Next Fighter" program, aka the long awaited F-3. Key technologies to be worked on include the ability to network with unmanned aircraft similar to Boeing's Loyal Wingmen, https://www.mod.go.jp/j/yosan/yosan_gaiyo/2020/yosan.pdf -

Top Gun: Maverick (Top Gun 2 is comin)
AN/ALQ128 replied to Ladic's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Well, the jet parts that were in the OG Top Gun were very memorable, which is why I guess so many people only remember that part and not Maverick's woman issues, or his trauma around losing his RIO. -

I sorta miss late 90's-early 00's industrial design. Sure, a lot of it was butt-ugly and made out of the cheapest material money could buy, but at least they experimented with shapes and colours a lot.- 7114 replies

Me too, its one of my favorite OVA's from the 90's, and the initial manga was great fun (Burst was just a fever dream). I was hoping Sonoda's new anime project would get enough money for a longer run time, but it only got enough for 5 minutes. -
This week is just filled with fugly new cars.

My Gunsmith Cats bluray set is on its way, I can hardly wait. I've seen some screencaps from people who've already got their hands on theirs, and the quality is excellent.
