  1. It also has that multi role equipment container built into the fuselage.
  2. There's nothing more fun than getting into the nitty gritty details of bipedal fighter jets.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. He will be sorely missed, a master of form, function, and gouache.
  12. That game started its Kickstarter when I was 13 and now I'm 22. Talk about a protracted development.
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. https://twitter.com/LockheedMartin/status/1207424928682782720 What a tease!
  16. 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.
  17. 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.
  18. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgmsb1axQAs The newest TV anime by Yuasa looks incredible, I can't wait.
  19. The world's first commercial electric powered aircraft (a modified DHC-2 Beaver) had its inaugural test flight yesterday on the Fraser River. https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/harbour-air-company-tests-first-commercial-electronic-aircraft-in-richmond
  20. In preparation for the third and final DLC mission release, PA just released this in-universe magazine article on the Alicorn super submarine. https://ace7.acecombat.jp/clm/column04.php Translation by https://twitter.com/Task_Force23/status/1199200521535524864 https://docs.google.com/document/d/1nlc1F4VkbF55k7hn3Amkm4kL__ZybGE0hLdK_BdbZec/edit
  21. 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.
  22. What the hell is Ford thinking? https://www.motor1.com/news/382779/2020-ford-mustang-mach-e-details/
  23. 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.
