Macross007

Few months ago, I have read Macross fans having difficulties understanding why the space folding effect in Macross Frontier was different. I'm not going to do a technological analysis regarding fold drive technology in the Macross universe but I want to explain why the new fold drive effect shown in Macross F makes more sense then what we have seen in other Macross incarnations. First, I want to point out the only thing space folding has in common in various Macross incarnations is the famous "tunnel effect". That tunnel effect is the direct result of folding space and therefore is some kind of wormhole. In SDF Macross, Macross Plus and 7, ships and valkyries are shown suddently disappearing and reappearing during "fold in" and "fold out" operations. While in Macross F valkyries and ships are shown creating some kind of "super dimension gates" or "fold gates" prior to fold in and defold operations. Since it's established that folding space is the equivalent of creating a wormhole (tunnel effect), having a gate or a portal for going through that wormhole makes more sense rather than seeing ships and valkyries disappearing and reappearing in an instant since a wormhole is noting more than a tunnel thus the tunnel effect shown in all Macross incarnations. That's why I think Macross Frontier fold drive effect is close to the real deal. So I want your opinions regarding that matter guys. P.S. : I know, my English is still poo.

Yeah, makes sense. Maybe after the failure of "Project Sharon" members of the Macross Consortium were arrested and court-martialed since the bio-neural chip installed into Sharon hardware was illegal. The Macross Consortium ceased to exist since it members were in jail and therefore never mentioned again in later Macross sequels.

Macross Consortium ? What's that ? In Macross Plus, I heard Colonnel Milliard mentioned it but it was never explained nor mentioned in any later Macross incarnations.

I second that.

OK Namco, whe is my Macross PS3 game ?

So what's the point of acquiring the rights to produce a live-action movie of Ghost in the Shell if Speilberg himself cannot do it ? Sorry if I am being dense, but I don't understand this one.

I don't know if it's true, but I heard that Steven Speilberg will be not producing or even directing the Ghost in the Shell movie. He did help DreamWorks in acquiring the rights to produce a live-action film adaptation but apparently he does not want to get involved in the project. Strange considering the fact he mentioned that "'Ghost in the Shell' is one of his favorite stories" ...

Can't believe you forgot Ghost in the Shell. The GITS LAM is still in the works. I think at least ...

OK guys, let's make things clear : Just because I mentioned robotech (notice the LITTLE r) does not mean you have to DOMINATE the thread with it especially when there is already a robotech only thread. And as far I am concerned, REAL, ORIGINAL and far more pouplar anime TV series than robotech like Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop are more worth discussing since they are not ripoffs intended to steal the work of others. Hope you get the message guys.

IT'S CONFIRMED !!! THE AKIRA LAM IS DEAD !!! From IGN website : "June 15, 2009 - If you were hoping to see that live-action, big screen version of the anime classic Akira, well, stop hoping. According to Bloody-Disgusting, director Ruairi Robinson has parted ways with the project. The site adds that they have heard the Leonardo DiCaprio-produced remake is "dead as a doornail."" LINK : http://movies.ign.com/articles/994/994717p1.html Robotech is next I tell you guys. And maybe Ghost in the Shell ?

Wow ... I will just pretend that Kawamori-san was under the influence of some kind of "substance" (Maybe he did watch robotech after all ...) during the interview and therefore ignore it.

Macross Quarter length : 400m (official Macross Frontier website number) or 450m (Macross Mecha Manual number) ?

I would like to know SetoKaiba position about this : http://www.geocities.com/robotechthreethou...revolution.html

Any mention of some kind of "UN Spacy/NUNS Academy" in canon Macross ?

The consequences of genetic diseases you know. No wonder they stop doing clones in the Macross universe.

How about Basara clones ?

You mean on my own ? If it's the case, the answer would be probably yes. After all, Seto Kaiba is thinking about it for a scan of Macross II. But being a humble college student still living with my parents, my resources are somehow limited. That's why I was thinking that each Macross fan posting on these forums could contribute to the cause the best they can. But since Gubaba is doing the hard work by himself for free, my idea is not worth discussing anymore.

Yeah, your famous "The Complete Macross Translation Project". I forgot about this. Forgive me.

How about paying a professional translator to do the job for us Macross fans ?

Thank you for taking time to answer my question. I'm going for THORA because I have no interest whatsover to let Lunar with their robotech terminology ruin my Macross Frontier experience (the characters are already doing a great job at it ).

But in your opinion, which are CLOSE to the real deal ?

Two days ago, I have finished watching Macross 7 for the third time (yes people for the THIRD time ) and I think I saw a clone of Minmay.

I'm planning on rewatching Macross Frontier (even if the characters annoy me as hell ) and I want to know which are the best fansubs for it ?

Could not have said it better myself. Pretty much like the members of Sound Force in M7 with all their fancy (magic some will say) equipments (sound boosters and busters) doing special operation missions without being special operators themselves.

Is that true Roy Focker joined the Air Force because one of his friend got killed in the UN Wars ?
