It's right around that time that we first see a transformation sequence that, to me anyways, never gets old, and some of the best battle animation in the series. "I will let them see my Genius battle strategy." Heh... I like the end of that story arc. I was on the edge of my seat!!! Especially Diamond Force's involvement. Those that refuse to watch M7 are really missing out. Take a cue from Graham. Its totally worth watching. People are doing themselves a disservice by missing out on this sweet show. Sure, it IS cheesy at times... oh and Planet Dance gets annoying... but after you've had your fill of PD, just mute it... I mean.. that's what makes subs so great right? I mean, hell many of Basara's songs are way more rockin than anything Minmay ever put out(I mean, I like em... but they're lounge singer/ bubblegum type songs and its way harder to rock out to those anime styles!).

In my humble opinion, yes. Start in chronological order (helps with the story). The TV series is as follows. 49 episodes, 25 minutes each + 26-minute special program Special Program Macross's Fastest Liftoff!!

There are two box sets (I think) but I am not sure what they contain......I think the first one has episodes 1 to 26 or 27 and the second one starts where the first one ends and includes some extra episodes or commercials of some sort. Don't remember . Keith can most likely help you, if anyone here knows Macross 7 he does. FLEET OF STRONGEST WOMEN!!!! I like Basara because he's all about what he does. I like Macross 7, don't ask me why... but it takes the story a step further. Just like Macross Zero. Macross is constantly evolving, but it all ties into the series' roots and what I'm sure many will agree are central themes. I never really disliked Macross 7... I thought the first 10 eps were kinda slow, but it really picked up and kept me interested until the end... I mean... when City 7 folds... oh wait... I'd better not spoil it.

Amesome, you too? And here I thought it was just me. DYRL and any of the original Star Wars just put me out like a light (Star Wars in less than 20 mins). I can't tell if it's cause I'm bored or it's like comfort food that makes me go all sleepy inside, anyhow it's good stuff to know when you can't sleep. BTW, After years of searching (hey anime used to be hard to find in the midwest) in 1989 I finally saw DYRL... seems like only yesterday. Yeah, that's why Ep 4 is my least favorite SW... I can manage to stay awake, but I ain't too happy.

Was Fall Guy the one that had Del Shannon's "Runaway" as it's opening theme?

i don't mind paying for shipping, its no biggie. all i know is hes got 4 days from today to get them to me or i'll have to request a refund through paypal. nothing against shawn but you guys know how i am and i'm not down with anyone whos got my money for a month with nothing to show for it...its just not right. discountanimedvd.com had my money for 2 months and the day I called to cancel, they had shipped it. lol Seichi orders take a while IIRC...

I'm not familiar with that series, who's starring in that? What's the synopsis? Its basically a parody of Dirty Harry. Semi-Serious IIRC.... but the main character likes to shoot people. I remember specifically one morning him waking up with his gun on the pillow next to him... he looks over and is all "I had a dream about you last night...."

I'm going to get a Houquet version... maybe the greenie if I like the red.. . . But everyone knows why I'm getting Houquet.

Magnum.... A-Team.... Parker Lewis.... I'm a little more excited about Sledge, but that's because I haven't seen it since I was a kid.

I like DYRL, but once Misa and Hikaru get to Earth I get sleepy.

Didn't he also have a brief resurgence in pog form?

*high five*

haven't seen that in a long time, good one though.

Do you have pics of your ICONS rifle? What kind of features did it have? The link to the airsoft one seems like it's got a lot going for it actually. Yeah.. hell.... its the best Pulse Rifle I've seen....

Er.... cloaking? They already know how to move silently. Plus, who said that preds only have one kind of hunter? You can hunt whales with a harpoon(some still do up here) or a rocket harpoon. They got Rocket Claws!

But does it spin as you turn?

I kinda like Alien 3. I like the chase.

Why is she anti gun? She's seen the benefits of guns first hand! If aliens invaded, I'd want Ripley by my side.

Oh yeah, and bootlegs have always been frowned upon. Special exceptions are made for MACROSS ONLY products that are not licensed in the US.

Protecting their own slow-moving and immobile targets against other waves of hordes and hordes of Zentradi EDIT: Now that I've had some time to think about it, I actually enjoyed the solo slant to the missions. To me, it showed just how outnumbered the humans were against the surviving Zentradi, and nowhere near ALL of them were humanized and pacified. It also showed just how rare the VF-1 was on the planet. There were not that many VF-1s (or Destroids, for that matter) to help guard and rebuild the entire planet, so it's only natual that they'd be outnumbered more often than naught. Uh...true... but its kind of stupid to send only one valkyrie to protect something that's supposedly so important that they gotta end the whole game over...

Haha... I remember back in the day I posted a pic of Reba West.... man... good times... (I'm sure a few of you remember those wacky hijinx)

Yeah, one of the major pluses of VFX2 was that it had essentially every important Valkyrie represented. They could totally make a Macross game work today and nobody seems to have a clue. a) FAST!!!!!! b) Intuitive controls(one of the BIGGEST problems with all but the 2d games) c) Thrust Vectoring accompanying the turning in space(done reasonably well in VO IIRC) The problem with VO for me was that it only had the VF-1 basically and the capital ships were pretty wimpy sized. But I did like the controls somewhat. Hell. . . my friends that aren't even into Macross came up with better ideas than that anything that's been out so far. Not to say that they're terrible ideas, but they're just not implemented well enough. I think maybe if EA got a hold of the Macross license we'd see a bit more quality. (I discovered that the reason I was annoyed at the intro "EA GAMES, <challenge everything>" was because it was the first thing I saw in many games I enjoy. But here's the idea my friend had- a 4 Swords/Crystal Chronicles style 4 player game where you each can turn into different modes and perform different actions. 4 Players? Skull Squadron!!! (Kakizaki gets some love even). As for me? I just want a game that makes me feel like I'm controlling the action, action that looks like a Macross battle game. I mean, you gotta be able to fly down under a bridge chasing a buddy in fighter mode... he whips around transforms to gerwalk... flys backwards shooting at you... while you turn into Battroid and roll behind a pillar... stuff like that. Plus there's the simple stuff(maneuvers) like what we see in the beginning of DYRL. But yeah... they never do get the controls right. Battlecry was close... but still there's a few control issues. The main thing that killed Battlecry for me was the fact that I was always the ONLY valkyrie around and I had to protect a slow-moving(or immobile) target against endless waves of foes. Where's my damn squadron at, you know!?

EXO, basicallly we calls em likes we sees ems... If things get too crazy, we buckle down. If things are chill... we relax a bit. But we've said millions of times(by now at least...) that we're SERIOUSLY running the place like Shawn likes(except when we get really lax, but Shawn's so busy. . . ) If Shawn had the time, he'd be a lot more harsh as a mod/admin... like seriously... I've seen Shawn mod(at least since we first started using Ikonboard in December of 2000... damn... I've been here a while...but I ain't no AFM dude...)

Mr. Daniels only calls me that when I've been bad... I dunno, thought your respons was good. Some pretty funny stuff gets locked... I usually get a kick out of most locked threads. I still want you guys to quit deleting. LOL Its because I'm posting from work. YAY! Too bad I can't get any messengers on this machine but ICQ2Go Oh and its Mr. Roger Smith when I'm at work. They're worried people in my current line of work will get hurt or somethin by crazy people.

screw the duct tape gun, if they make a ripley she better come with a powerloader! Fine fine... BOTH! Almost forgot that baby... I would be happy with Apone and Vasquez tho. I think McFarlane could make em look pretty good. Well... I dunno... maybe. lol
