CROM Smiles at Macross Zero AND Macross 7 Except M7 Dynamite. He LAUGHS at that.

Sorry, but I have to give that pic a try. It's just great.

That's a damn fine design.

How about the girl that played Hermaione (however you spell it) from Harry Potter. Red head, and could probably play Asuka's attitude pretty well. About the right age too. A few more years and she'll be smokin too. Rei I'm have no idea who to cast. The skin is a problem in retrospect, though that can be fixed with makeup or digitally reducing her skin color to paler than usual. Only actresses I can think of right now that might fit the bill are one of the Live Action Sailor Moon girls or the ball n' chain girl from Kill Bill (better choice). Zhang Ziyi isn't bad either. I saw someone recently who might play a good Shinji, but can't remember who now. Whoever he is needs to be able to flip out appropriately. Right now I vote Hugh Jackman for Kaji.

Great work on them, but I'm afraid all three should be marked 001, as all 3 were Skull 1 at the times they flew their respective 1S valks. Again, great job on the detailing though.

It would be nice to finish certain existing projects.

I fully expect every Yamato release to be pushed back a few months these days. I don't take stock of the initial date anymore, because they never make it. I would expect the VF-0S in late June - sometime in July.

Which part is R-L2 and L-L2? I haven't had a chance to look it up in manual yet since I don't have any of my personal valks here. PS: I am offering the parts service based on stripping a new valk, not Rob. I personally thank him for his outstanding community effort and just wanted to share and help other members out. Sebastian, I will put you down for the nose and radar on the 2nd valkyrie to parted if there is enough parts requests. Seventh Moon, please again, please clarify the pieces you need. I have you down for the backpack hinge. L-L2 and R-L2 are the upper leg intake sections. Thanks.

OK, maybe some shade of grey would work, but the right shade of blue could also be good. Not necessarily bright neon blue, but a (darker) shade of blue. The albino-ish look + red eyes are a must however, and given her nature are physically required. The hair I can be flexible with. Misato's early live-action concept design however is so far totally unacceptable. Like I've said before, I still have high hopes on the movie coming out good though.

YIKES!! Another 10 years? Geez. Anyway the thing is... 1)I don't have the hard drive space to download the eps 2)The TV out from my nVidia GeForce2 MX card absolutely REEKS! And no way do I wanna watch this on a tiny 21" monitor. 3)I would much rather buy them on dvd from anyone, as long as they're as good as those AonE and AnBu guys or whatever. 65" RPTV>>>>21" PC monitor. Link please! Well.. actually I burn the episodes to DVD in its DivX file format. Burning to CD will work too, but seeing as to how you can only fit 4 episodes to CD and the number of episodes there are... that's going to be a bit more work. Then I hook up my laptop to a TV and I can watch it on the big screen. DVD+R's are our friends. 4.7GB of storage space vs. 700MB CD-R Example: ROD TV= 1 DVD+R + 1 CD-R for the last 2 episodes. Same thing for Chobits. Extremely useful for long shows like Inu-Yasha which I'm up to ep. 142 downloaded. Kick-ass speedy Plextor DVD+RW can be found for around $170, and it burns DVD+R/RW and DVD-R/RW. One of these days I'll have to play download catch up and give Naruto a try, right now I'm downloading another show. Sounds like I'll enjoy it a geat deal though.

Zhang Ziyi would be a cool rei....but MINUS the blue hair man....if its gonna be live action...anime haircolors don't mix. No, Rei MUST have blue hair. Part of her character. It's the same thing as giving Asuka black hair instead of her auburn hair. It's just not the same.

Of course, that's what promted this little thread. There was speculation before on who the cast members would be once it finally goes into production, whereas right now it's still in pre-production, and we just have concept art to go off of. Those can be found in previous threads with a search.

There IS no work ethic involved with the Armada/Energon designs.

here's one

Don't like him.

Here's the old hoax pic from couple of years ago.

I need R-L2 and L-L2.

That's one thing that's wierd. Yeah it's the subitiled version, yet they list it as Star Blazers. If you look at the Cover art on their listings for the older single discs, the covers distintly say "Space Battleship Yamato". I'm guessing it's the distributers fault and Right Stuf just listed it under the title Voyager provided. I'll wait for now and see if I can find some reviews.

The worst Macross OVA will always be M7 Dynamite. There was so many things they could have done with a Macross7 OVA, but all potential was squandered with a Moby Dick rehash, which barely involved any of the show's cast except Basara. Token appearances from the other Fire Bomber members or Gamlin. At least Gamlin got to strut a little in his new Diamond Force VF-22S, but even that was missing something. Max and Millia didn't even appear. They forgot the whole one-shot use principle of the fold booster. Basara STOLE the Blood smeared VF-19P and took off WITH NO FOLD BOOSTER . "Send the bill to Ray on M7" my ass. If he ever went back Ray should shove the Guitar down Basara's throat after that. Just voicing my discontent there. I enjoyed Macross7 a great deal, but the D7 OVA sucked. Look at what M+ did in 4 episodes. Back to Macross Zero, I enjoy it a great deal, and I think some of the detraction/detachment some people feel is due to the length of time in between each episode's release. You have to get back into it each time an episode comes out. I have a feeling some opinions will changer once all 5 can be viewed back-to-back. They're doing good so far, but it really will be what is accomplished in the last two episodes that will decide on the overall rating of the show. It's a very impressive effort this time.

At least there's a Macross Panel. Though nothing new will come to light yet from either, unless it just slips. Doubtful though.

Right Stuf is releasing a box set of the Space Battleship Yamato Movies (subtitled) on DVD on 4/20. The mention on AnimeNewsNetwork is the first I ever heard of it. Are these movies compilations of the show similar to the Mobile Suit Gundam Movie Trilogy, or are these in addition to the tv show? Movie DVD Box Link

It's been a long-running gag in there that sometimes everyone changes their nicknames to that of doctors and begin discussing medical issues to confuse newbies. That and the many typos involving our URL were the inspiration for this gag. Well done, I especially liked how you mirrored all their links too.

That was a good one too.

He wouldn't be able to put up much of a fight either with those things on his feet
