Out of curiosity, what time will people going to the concert get there to wait? I'm probably gonna have my gear ready and my wife and I will probably get there early, say 11 or 11:30. I wanna make sure we get real close seats. If anyone is planning on getting there earlier, perhaps we should all set it up where we at least try to get in line around the same time? Oh, and the Yardhouse does get packed, but not too packed to where you can't get in at all. If we ask for outside, it will be a shorter wait too.

Hey all, I'm pleased to show you the first flyer of the con. As more info comes out as far as what will be showcased at the con, the info will be added to the flyer. Hope you enjoy.

You know, that pic makes Minmay look like an 18th St cholita down at the hood mall, waiting to take her glamour shots, with "Rascal" giving the big thumbs up in the background. If Minmay looked like that, I could totally understand why she lost out to Lisa.

Frikken' A!!!! Preordered!

If you want to show it at the MWcon10, you can always ship it and have one of the panel people display it. Who knows, they may even be able to help with the shipping. I'm not in charge of that, but there are people that ship their custom stuff for display. It's nice to have this stuff in the company of other customs.

Congrats on your recent marriage to come. If it's in that book, it's most likely the piano sheet music, if that's what you're looking for. I've wanted guitar sheet music, but I think the beauty of the song is that the note and chord progression can be improvised and still sound and keep the original sound of the song.

Here's better sized pics of them. Here's most of my collection in sections, and I didn't take them out cause it'd take way too long, and some is missing for a project my wife is doing. Additionally to this, I have the manga of Mac7 trash, original and the new printings, SDF Macross Manga, and Mac: The First. For macross Chronicles, I have them all, finally, but it doesn't show here (project). Sorry if the pics are large.

Hey, humble or not, you got some great stuff there, and you shouldn't be humble about it.

Hahaha, that's what I thought, it was just such an in depth discussion. One of my friends though, who isn't really a fan of any of this, used to have the RoyFocker screen name for Playstation 2's SOCOM US Navy Seals when we had are REF clan. He used to love yelling over the head set FOCKER!!! (Faw-ker). We always got a good laugh at it.

I'm pretty sure it's always been pronounced (Foe-ker) in both series. Is this really a debate?

Welcome to the anime composed like swiss cheese, full of holes. That out of the way, I find it entertaining, even with it's rough edges. It's not refined like Macross, but it can be entertaining if you're not trying to pick it apart. As for the voice actors, that's one of the things I thought was done right by HG. The voices fit the characters about as much as possible (except I'm not a fan of Minmay's american voice.) Still, that is one of the shining moments in the franchise. As for the specific scene you're talking about, where Roy yells out Rick,,,there's two ways to look at that. 1) You can say that he doesn't say it with enough emotion and that the line was said poorly, or 2) In a more realistic setting, being a squadron leader, you'd understand that Roy is a man who's not gonna lose all composure during a battle. I think that part was done just fine. Too much emotion, and the character loses the "Skull Squadron" leader feel, not enough, and he seems like a robot. I think it was done just fine. That's my opinion though.

Just a heads up.... I wasn't able to get enough confirmations for any reserved space at the Yardhouse, so I'm thinking we should settle for food/drinks in the patio. It should be nice and warm outside. I think if we meet up in front about 6:45-7:00p.m., we can figure out the number, and if they'll need to move the patio tables and chairs.

Looks pretty cool. I'm quite busy with work, and doing extra work on other projects, but when I get some time, I wouldn't mind trying to add to your site. Looks fun, and covers other anime too.

Really now, is there a difference? Advancing the "word", excommunicating those that don't believe the same, trying to site internet wars (arguably called that), threats of violence against the "non believers", and RT zealouts that have lost touch with reality. Seriously, aside from the obvious focus of the religion, what is the difference. I'm sure they'd use that against some here, and in some cases rightly so, but I've never seen it to that extent. I mean, this stuff is cool and all, but there's much more to life, and many more important things than animated shows. I know, I speak blasphemy.

In regards to that issue, well, look at whom you are speaking about. That alone rest the entire case right there. It simply goes back to the issue of making people "find and show proof" when it's already been shown, and then hanging off every word HG says without any. If anyone was smart over there, they'd do the same thing and make HG show proof that they're doing stuff, that Shadow Rising is in "production", so on and so forth. They'd probably get banned for being disruptive, hahaha. What can you do? Common sense really isn't so common when you're a fanboy, esp. when it comes to Robotech. Just no happy medium.

No, you're not reading too far into it. Most games from movies suck pretty bad. Now, as far as the news, as has been pointed out...really? Is it really big news? No, it isn't unless you're a half-witted fanboy. It may be interesting news, cool news, whatever, but c'mon. This is almost standard practice. I would've been shocked if it turned out that some other company kept those rights. That would've been more shocking. In the end though, it still doesn't mean crap about the movie, nor does it validate that the movie is a for sure thing. It doesn't mean they're closer to getting it done either. This was probably just a simple agreement that was in the original contract WB and HG agreed to, so, in essence, it's old @$$ news. If the movie doesn't even get a green light, or never makes it to any sort of production, don't expect the game to come out anytime soon. The game is in the same thin thread as the actual movie. I don't think Gubaba's ever been to a successful "Robotech Party". Then again, they don't really exist anymore. Those were way back when Razorx, his wife Valkyrie22, and I would throw them at our houses in the day. Since then, they've been very hard to come by. On a sidenote, it's funny seeing people that once followed lil' douchebendo's people turning on his show. I've had 5 people I know that use to listen to his show throw him under the bus, and a one even has sent me his conversations via IM. Apparently, more people had listened all that time to get a laugh from him, more than get verifiable true content. I think he also tried to hit on said guy before he totally wrote him off. Good stuff. Anyways, nothing wrong with figuring out someones a 5150 (person w/ mental illness) and realizes that their message isn't for them.

I'll be checking the site tonight, and (I'm guessing) should have just about all the songs. Now, for a good number of songs, I have with the singer and w/o. Do you want both, only one type, and which songs do you want me to pull from? All series, or just specific ones? It'll determine how many CDs I need to go through.

Preordered already. This thing looks good.

Pure awesome!!! This is gonna be a fun show. And with all the Macross fans there to share it with. Good times.

Sounds pretty good, some of the voices sound a little stiff, some sound awesome. I like the mix and the aura of the whole file. Dramatic, and inspiring.

All that does sound interesting. I still think Robotech's problem is that it's been out way too long in a dark basement. Even Voltron, with not much more, has more product recognition than Robotech ever had. The Robotech franchise, for the most part, has been put into a corner, where there aren't many options for the franchise. The whole "banking on WB" issue is one of them. If that deal dies, what are they gonna do? What are they gonna tell the fans? They won't be able to use the "we're moving forward and progressing" lie they've been telling for who knows how long. For Shadow Rising, they didn't even have Funimation backing the project, so who do they have on their side to even, maybe do a reboot of anything? It seems like they've put themselves in a position to only do feature animated films, and low budget ones at that. Can all that change? Of course, but it doesn't look like it will, and it seems like they're stuck on wanting to do animated features and the continuation of Robotech.

I posted above that I wouldn't mind setting it all up for Yardhouse, just need people to shoot me pm's to confirm you're going. The other option of not planning is that we just decide to all show up and sit outside (as we wouldn't be able to get any space inside if the group is large enough and unannounced). As for time, I was thinking maybe Friday 7p.m. or if anyone else has any suggestions, throw them out here.

It'd be lame if you could only have certain things signed, unless they have Ranka/Sheryl stuff there to buy and have signed. I think May'n is signing on Thursday, and Megumi is signing stuff, or will have a panel on Saturday.

I'd be #241, but may be a bit too high, hahaha. I'm down to do that.

To give you my take on your "is Robotech worth it" question. I've been a fan of both for a long time. While I've seen both several times, and without going into details, I found the original to be better. That's not to say I think Robotech sucks (unless you count what's come out since the original incarnation of Robotech, then it sucks). I even thought Sentinels, or the little that was shown, was alright, but I digress...I like the original, I like what it's lead to today, and I like the bigger story. In anycase, try hulu, then judge for yourself.
