    You looking for pictures of the different types of mechs, or of the toys?

    Ok, sorry, I forgot. Does she have the same elbow pads as Priss? It looks to me like she doesn't (from these pics) so my opinion is probably completely useless to you... EDIT: Ignore the BMPs. For some reason, Macrossworld tells you you deleted an attachment, but then keeps it there anyway. JPEGs attached now instead. EDIT SOME MORE: Nevermind, figured out what I was doing wrong. Ok, here are the pics.

    You're talking about Priss, and not the Motoslave, right?

    Jus watched episode 11, and have a BUNCH of spoilerish comments: I don't know if I've asked this before, but, looking at the characters from Unit Viper, is anyone else reminded of the stereotypical characters from a comic book team from the early '90s, like what you would see from Jim Lee or Rob Liefeld? The cool goodlooking guy with long hair who is a weapons expert, the quiet dark leader, the exageratedly large and muscled big guy with a large weapon or power (rocket launchers, in this case), and the overly busty blonde woman who is a deadly warrior?

    Maybe a season 2 of the anime in the fall? I'd be happy to find scanlated, or even translated ones to buy in hardcopy.

    I've only been able to find the first volume of the manga; don't even know how many volumes there are. If memory serves me right, it seems like the first volume of the manga basically covered only the first 2 episodes or so, plus a political protest .

    Hopefully it did better than one would assume, based on how few comments this thread has had. I also hope it did well enough to warrant some toys/models, to add to my display of Aramaki-designed motorcycle mecha. EDIT: BTW, I would love to see an Appleseed: Ex Machina quality CG version of this, just a little more focused than this series felt.
  8. RavenHawk
    As of last night, my display now consists of: - 1 metallic Priss and Motoslave - 1 black & white CMs Stick - 1 black & white CMs Ray - 1 black & white CMs Shinobou - 1 Mellowlink & bike - 1 Factory Color Garland - 2 Proto-Garlands All 1/18th scale (despite claims to the contrary on Yamato packaging). Now I just need somewhere to put my Beagle/Toynami Stick/Scott and Toynami Blue Alpha/Legioss & Beta/Tread and 2 Toynami Shadow/Dark Alphas/Legioss.

    I LOVE mecha-motrcycles... I appreciate, and a sometimes a huge victim of, nostalgia... ... but no. No, I can't like this... just can't... EDIT: On the other hand, the synopsis sounds brilliant: Synopsis: A bionic vigilante avenges the death of his scientist father by using his invention, a lethal transforming robot/motorcycle, to fight his murderers, the evil Sigma Organization led by the wheelchair-bound cyborg Dr. Akunomiya. (from IMDb.com) EDIT 2: Damn you, Morpheus!!! Now I'm curious to see just how bad it is... I've googled it, looked for bittorrents of it, looked on eBay... damn you!!! This is the really ugly thing, not the mecha itself, but what it does to your whole world.

    Ok, have mine in front of me right now, but I guess maybe I'm not clear on the problem that you're encountering. The elbow guard doesn't seem to be an issue on mine.
  11. RavenHawk
    Just watched episode 11. Wow, this series is wrapping up nicely. I'm bummed that there's only one episode left though. Minor Spoilers:
  12. RavenHawk
    Yeah, I know, but there have been plenty of shows that got cut short too (Southern Cross, Megazone 23 pre production, others I can't think of right now), that's why I was afraid that had happened. EDIT: I guess it just felt like it got off to a really slow start for something scheduled to be so short.
  13. RavenHawk
    I'll look at mine tonight. It's the metallic Priss, but that part should function the same.
  14. RavenHawk
    Along a different line: Blassreiter was 24 episodes, and we still haven't seen the Paladin toy that we saw a prototype of close to a year ago. With Viper's Creed only being 12 episodes, does that mean we'll never see toys from it? The show took a while to get going, but I really loved the mecha design and was hoping for toys or models. As for Rideback, I saw some prototypes for a toy and figures from it a while back (on here, I think), but those looked like they were based on the manga designs, and not the anime.
  15. RavenHawk
    That sucks. Viper's Creed was just starting to get interesting. Rideback is the only other new show I was watching, and is the best show I've seen in a long time. Hate to think it's over already. So are shows now just being written to be 12 episodes, as opposed to the older 24 to 36 episode formats?
  16. RavenHawk
    Is episode 12 the last episode of Viper's Creed? If so, must not have been popular, as that seems way below typical anime series lengths. I'm trying to get my info from: http://blog.livedoor.jp/viperscreed/ http://viperscreed.jp/ but the translation program I'm using doesn't make much sense. Seems to be a blog entry saying episode 12 is the last one, but then another one saying stay tuned, like maybe there is a sequel or spinoff? Can anyone help here? Thanks.

    HOTT
  18. RavenHawk
    Don't mock! I actually like the Michael Bradley songs better.
  19. RavenHawk
    All true. Of course, if we want to make this conversation REALLY entertaining, we can start bringing in some Graham Hancock (Fingerprints of the Gods) theories...
  20. RavenHawk
    Yes, but all of the world's flood stories seem interrelated, with Gilgamesh appearing to be the oldest, thus may be the closest to an "original" story that we know of.
  21. RavenHawk
    Well, except for Gilgamesh... maybe...
  22. RavenHawk
    Very true. I just feel it is more direct here as we are talking about a manga about the Vietname War ripping off a graphic novel/comic book about World War II. Edit: To be fair, "Apocalypse Meow" may be a truly excellent manga. I don't know. I haven't read it. Just saying that the idea there isn't all that original.
  23. RavenHawk
    Not a stroke of genius. A rip off of MAUS, which used mice for the Jews and cats for the Nazis during WWII.
  24. RavenHawk
    Never seen this before. Does it kind of transform between a cycle mode and the wolf? Just been googling images, but all I can find are ones of this toy, which looks like at most the wheels tilt back a bit.
  25. RavenHawk
    I had read the first volume of the RideBack manga, so expected good things of the anime, but wow, it's been completely blowing away my expectations. I love it, and look forward to each new episode. Viper's Creed, on the other hand, which I also enjoy and has been getting better, has come nowhere near my expectations.
