Effect

OMG. I loved watching the anime, though it was only half the story. This was actually the first series I collected fansubbed on VHS, Gundam Wing being the second before it was aired on Cartoon Network. I had no idea that Viz was actually releasing the manga. So far 3 volumes have been released so far. Now these I have to get. http://store.viz.com/browse/FLAMEOFRECCA/G...RNOV/s.KQrTclMQ

Do you still have the location where you found the scans? I'm interested in checking it out.

Wait, the manga is being translated? By who? Can it be ordered online?

Great news. I was planning on downloading the series but now I can wait and tape it off Tech TV and get an english version. And its on a very decent time as well.

The first OVA is great. The second one was just as good but I do wish the part with Enishi was a lot longer. Having never read the Revenge arc myself, the 2nd OVA is the only time where you'll get to see at least part of that story. They really should have expanded that OVA much longer to really cover the story, especially since that it ties in with the 1st OVA.-

I still have to say it wasn't just the kids that made things bad. There were a good amount that were actually mature. A some of the older members ruined things as well and played a large part in things. Don't just blame one side now, both sides had a hand in things.

That's insane.

MacrossWorld seems to be sliding down a slippery slope itself. there are still quality folks around here. There is more to MacrossWorld than this unfinished forum. Everyone seems to have forgotten about the bulk of MacrossWorld, that its actually a website, not just a message board. Shawn needs to find administrative help for the page, or start saving himself some money by shutting down the rest of the site. There are times that I do forget about the actual site. I think if it had more information similar to the Macross Compendium it might get more notice. I enjoy looking at the different items on it but they are all things I can't get my hands on either to not being in Japan or them no longer being produced.

From what I've seen, not this doesn't apply to everyone that dislikes Wing, but some people bash it or dislike it cause its the series that really launched Gundam here in the states. It brought in tons of new fans, mainly kids when it was first released. Honestly it launched my interst in Gundam as well but I had actually seen it a few months before it came on Cartoon Network. I had gotten fansubs on VHS. Since its the first Gundam series to be shown on TV on a large scale you have people wondering or saying that everything else copied it when other shows are released. This seems to drive the older fans crazy but instead of trying to correct people in a calm manner some jump the gun and start bashing it and the fans. That's where things got out of hand, its one thing to dislike the show but bashing the fans shouldn't be done. A good deal of fans prefer the UC type of Gundam since it has more realism. A good deal of fans like myself enjoy both types of Gundam and there are those that enjoy the Wing like Gundam the best. Wing gets bashed all the time cause those that dislike it are very vocal about it and a few try to pass on their opinions of the show as fact. There are a few(not the same as the others) that think anyone that likes Wing is stupid and hasn't seen much of Gundam and must be childish. Personally I've seen almost all of Gundam outside of ZZ, and the second half of V and I still consider Wing as one of my favorites. I think on some level, some dislikers of it feel the need to constantly bash it because it was so popular while what they feel is the much better series isn't liked as much. Things like "Wing is so cool", "the Heavyarms would be the GP01 any day of the week" do tend to get annoying and to cause people to bash it more then normal. Then there are a few UC elitiest that just hate anything outside of the UC. At least that's my opinion on it. This is just what I've seen over the years since I've gotten into the fandom. Being that I really enjoy all aspects of Gundam(well G Gundam takes some work to like) I think I've gotten a good look at things from a three sides. No where near an expert on the subject though.

People were pretty immature there. Though on both sides. You had some of the younger crowded spamming threads and what not. The ones that give Wing and G Gundam fans a bad name. Then you had the more knowledgeable members that acted like complete asses, jerks, etc... that acted as if their opinion was fact. You know the ones that UC fans a bad name, the ones that act like everyone else is below them just because they know more about UC and have seen a lot of it. That could have easily been stopped but I don't think the mods ever did their job, and let some of the veteran members act anyway they wanted(even after other veteran members asked them to stop, this I remember cause I tried as well) no matter how nasty they became. I left at the beginning of all this, I can only imagine what it was like near the end.

Actually I feel that MacrossWorld has actually gotten a lot better in the past few months, especially after the time of the bannings on the old forum setup.

I used to hang out over there but I had left long before the site shut down, I think one to two years before it closed. I went by Hazard there. I'm glad I didn't stick around, I heard the quality of the posters went way down. I'm not talking about not knowledgeable but just rude people, jerks, etc.

Looks good but there is no way I would order from Robotech.com.

The whole Tenchi franchise raise a lot of questions but it has to be my favorite group of series though. I need to go back and watch the first two OVAs now. I get the strange feeling that maybe nothing is said on the father, he could be from Jurai as well. Keeping him human would make him a strong rock for Tenchi to lean on with all the crazy things happening around him, at least until he is old enough to fully accept things. I do know in the Universe sereis and the Tokyo series its clear that he's human and the movies pretty much take place during the Tenchi Universe series but I just can't remember about the OVAs. The wait between the episodes is crazy though, at least like with Macross Zero they are worth the wait.

That would be great but I would still love something post-Macross 7. Question and I really don't want to get into a serious debate but if they were to reanimate the original series, everything coming off the lineart, would it be possible for them to release if over here in the US in both subtitled and english? The difference in animation along with the original names, music, and whatever new tweaks would clearly set it apart from the older version of the series and no one would be confused.

I didn't care for the movie at all, and dislike the uncut version even more so. Waste of time in my opinion, best to pass on it completely.

That is possible, she just might have done that. Tennyo's birth father could have died long ago and Tennyo woudl most likely have lived with Tenchi's mother and father while pretending to be young as well during that time until she decided to leave after her mother died. I did like how Yosho showed Tenchi what he really looked like. It begs the question will Tenchi have that ability as well even though he's half human?

Don't have one. I got my copy sent to me via Streamload.com. Anyone know of any bittorrent links?

Hasn't anyone else seen this yet. Episode 1 and 2 have been released are subbed already. Personally I'm loving it but there are a lot of questions that are poping up, some have been answered but then again they just cause more questions addition to the unanswered ones. For example the woman at the end of the first episode actually turns out to be Tenchi's older sister. Is she Tenchi's father's daughter or is she a half-sister? They don't go into but then again she and the father act like father and daughter so he coudl be holding a secret himself when it comes to the age thing since members of the Jurai family seem to live a long time and still remain young. Another question I have is at the very beginning of the first episode, right before the opening there is a scene with Lady Tokimi's champion, which seems to be creation similar to Ryoko, behind him is a person that looks to be from the Jurai family but its so fast and I can't make out the face to tell who it is. Could be one of the members of his family currently at his house in episode two(several new family members show up), I really hope it isn't one of those. That part of the story and that character(Lady Tokimi and crew) wasn't touched in episode 2. I was thinking it was Tenchi's mother, a clone of someone or someone new. I just hope it isn't the sister since I like her relationship and the sceen between her and Tenchi. The animation so far is great, and its pretty funny which is a given. Looking forward to episode 3 but it might be a long wait.

You know I have this game and I haven't even played it yet. I don't know what's stopping me. When I do play I'm going to go for the 100% since that is how you get the best and true ending I believe.

I didn't think FFXI had that many zones. Very nice. Then again I had such a hard time finding groups the Valkrum Dunes due to the times I played. Either I'd get a group and not long after that it would break up or I would have to constantly search the zone for people of similar levels and politely tell them to see if they were in a group and ask to add me to a waiting list. By the time their was room, 2 hours later I wa so burnt that I needed to log. Oh well I really would have have wished to check out more of the game. I think the furtherest I've been had to be La Theine and that was only because I was being chanced by a gob and I had to zone. The highest level I got was lvl 15 I think. I didn't have the patiance needed for this game, among other things which were in my previous posts in this thread. I'm glad to hear others are still enjoying the game . I love reading about your accomplishments.

I agree, we need to see Vader in action even if only for a few seconds. Just leading troops into battle while the stormtroopers/clonetroopers are killling around him would be good. 12 minutes is a long time. It will be great if that is 12 mins straight and its not broken up with other scenes.

Hard to say, both are pretty good shows. Both have some decent reviews and previews, though sometimes I might not agree with them. I watched a lot of G4 when I was home over winter break but Xplay has Morgan . I do like that Xplay is willing to actually go back and rereview games at a later date, I'm refering to mmorpgs. Xplay is more entertaining when they mess around and act out things. I have to give my vote to Xplay.

I still want to see. Its one of the few movies which trailers have really caught my interest. The concept alone is enough to make want to see for myself what its about, though I'll have to wait till its on on DVD or download it since I can't get a movie theater while away at college. No car yet.

Thanks. The battle looks like its going to be intense. If anything you can be sure we are going to get a great lightsaber battle, Lucas has never failed their.
