Oihan

All of her "this kind of service isn't something I do often" talk throughout the movie helps personify her as a diva if you ask me. I still think she's comes across as more likable in the movie than she does in the TV series regardless.

This wouldn't be the first time a link has been provided in MW. I believe even the forum staff have contributed links when Frontier was broadcasting for the first time. The moderators do a good job as it is moderating. It's not like MW is hosting the content either. Moreover, even if there was or wasn't a link provided in MW...it doesn't take much to find whatever it is out on the web these days.

I thought it was pretty hilarious. I cannot wait for Conan to be back on the air!

I'm thinking in regards to length of time. ...The two parts/movies in EoE were about 40-45 mins both in length...these last two movies are supposed to be about 45 mins each...etc. ...Just don't worry about it. Forget I said anything.

How does it explain the first two then?

Well I had started to get the impression that they were really going to go further with this story than they had in the TV series or EoE. Moreover, if both are going to be 45 mins long...why not just combine the two into one and call it good? I wouldn't mind seeing, in the last two movies, all of which you brought up. Though, from my understanding they're going to give us a completely different ending, right?

Just finished watching Evangelion 1.11 and 2.22 as well as Ga-Rei: Zero. The movies are absolutely brilliant. I left some more remarks in the Evangelion 2.22 thread if anyone cares to read 'em. Ga-Rei: Zero on the other hand wasn't all that great of a watch in my opinion...mediocre at best. Next on the list.... Edit: I'll be sure to give it a look over.

Hahaha, that is pretty freakin' hilarious. I also got a laugh from the "f*ck you" remark in regards to the burger and fries advertisement. I just finished watching 1.11 and 2.22 and both are pretty damn epic. The movies are definitely awesome and I am looking forward to the last two. I can only imagine what they have in store for us all. After having read this thread I'm a little bummed to learn that the last two movies will both only be 45 mins long. On a side note, I love the music in both and I cannot get enough of the ending song (Beautiful World) from 1.11. Anyone else?

I just thought I'd chime in on the whole AV thing. I used to use Norton AV exclusively till I found out about Avira's AntiVir. It's a great AV program and it's completely free. I think it even works better than Norton and a lot of the other AV programs out there. There is a catch/annoyance though - every time AntiVir goes to update it'll have an advertisement pop in regards to upgrading. That can be easily fixed however. It's just a matter of knowing which file to block from executing.

Hmm, I didn't know that it actually downloaded the emulator. I thought it was there from the get-go. Interesting stuff. And yeah...their wireless adapters sure do blow chunks. I bought a single antenna adapter a couple years back and it gave me nothing but problems. I thought I had bought a lemon but it appears it's more common than not. It's absurd that the piece of crap was $100 too. I've long given up on playing anything on my 360 wirelessly. Though, I've read that the new kinect ready 360s have a built-in IEEE 802.11n...who knows if they're any good though.

Yeah, I couldn't agree more there too. I think you're on to something here, Keith. The more I think about it, it does seem like it's the only logical explanation for the deviations.

Now that you mention it, I was thinking along the exact same lines - especially in the episode where we see Casshern meet with Braiking for the first time in the show. I think it was that episode where we're lead to believe Ringo isn't your typical robot. The original cell thing that you mention, was that when the siblings of Luna gift Ringo that multicolored thing? Even though the show is relatively fresh in memory...I'm having a hard time remembering in which episode they talk about that.

I thought all 360s could play original Xbox games right off the bat.

I was somewhat getting the same impression. I wonder....

I'll give it a go! Thanks for the recommendation. Any others that you'd recommend by chance? I love heartfelt, slice of life, real robot, mecha, medieval, martial arts, cyber punk, fantasy, gritty and dark, character development, "message pictures"...just about like it all

I just finished watching Casshern Sins and Bakemonogatari. I must say that both are pretty good. The animation in both is just stunning too. I like the story in both as well...especially the character development between Hitagi and Koyomi in Bakemonogatari. However, with Casshern I have a minor issue. I thought the first half of the episodes were great...and then about half way it just started to disappoint - a lot was left unexplained in the end. Although I'm sure the writers wanted to leave something for the audience to interpret/figure out for themselves...I think they could have done a better job towards the end. All in all though, the story in Casshern is decent, if not good, in my opinion. I especially loved the music in both...more so in Bakemonogatari. Though, there's one musical piece, played often in Casshern Sins, that I cannot get enough of - "Memory Past" by Kaoru Wada.

Just thought I'd chip in which strip I have. The film strip I have can be seen at 1:23:32 into the film. It's of Grace looking a little bit to her left with her head titled slightly up...after she walks in on Sheryl and Alto talking...right before Ozma walks in with Cathy. I've been having issues with my scanner...otherwise I would have provided a scan.

I just finished watching the movie and I must say it's just pure awesomeness! It would be ten times better if I only understood what exactly was said! The song selection wasn't the greatest in some parts of the movie, but it wasn't bad either by any means. The pacing of the story and scenes are just fine in my opinion. The animation is superb.... I don't see what all the fuss is about with this movie. Maybe my memory is a little fuzzy, but I think it's being over exaggerated with just how much reused footage was used in the movie. Yes, there was some...but there was a lot of new footage too. Moreover, I have no issues with any of the changes that were made...like Klan being a student for one. I think it's a great retelling thus far! I can't wait for the sequel! Question: Would anyone know the name of the instrumental piece that's played during 1:22:34 ~ 1:23:21 in the movie? Is it even on any of the OSTs for that matter? Thanks Edit: If I were to have a real gripe with the movie...it's with how ineffective the Macross Cannon was at first.

Think we could we possibly get rid of "the" and "edition" in the title? Maybe I'm the only one this has happened to, but when I saw "the NOT subtitled edition" I came racing into this thread thinking of the possibility that there might be more than one edition of the movie....

On NCSX's website regarding "Gekijouban Macross F: Itsuwarino Utahime Hybrid Pack" Anyone know if that statement is true about it being a remake? If that's the case then would it be safe to assume it's a full blown game?

.jp ? Just want to make sure I'm going to the right site....

So just out of curiosity...where is everyone pre-ordering this from? Play-Asia, YesAsia or NCSX? Or from some place completely different?

It was once feared that the VCR would destroy the movie industry...that the cassette recorder would kill the music/record industry...and I'm sure there was a fear that the photocopier was going to kill the magazine and book industries.

I know the thread description "says" to stop asking...but...is there a release date yet? >_< *cries* I need my fix!!! It's been far too long!

...Jun Seba and now Carl Macek. Nujabes has moved me musically, and Carl Macek had introduced me to one of the very few things I'll forever be passionate about in life - Macross. R.I.P.
