I assume this means you've never seen any of the animes. There's a full timeline HERE. The short version is: In 1999 an alien ship (belonging to a group known as the Supervision Army) crashed on Earth. We rebuilt it, and named it the Macross. Ten years later, space ships belonging to the Zentradi showed up. They're a race of genetically-engineered warrior clones with no civilization. And they're at war with the Supervision Army. Our ship automatically fires on theirs, due to a booby-trap left in the computer by the previous owners. This starts a war between humanity and the zentradi. Eventually, the main fleet of the zentradi forces that have had contact with humanity arrives to exterminate humanity and the zentradi that have been "contaminated" by human culture. Much of the Earth is decimated by orbital bombardments. But we win the war, with the help of the "contaminated" zentradi, who are accepted into human society. And in 2012, we launch the first of a series of space colonization missions that cintinues through to VFX2's 2050, to spread humanity among the stars and ensure that we can't be wiped out by an assault on a single planet. That's the original TV series, which is the most complex and most important to the continuity. In 2040, a computer pop star known as Sharon Apple tries to take over the Earth by brainwashing everyone. She is killed by test pilots Isamu Dyson and Guld Bowman, in a pair of prototype variable fighters. That's Macross Plus. In 2045, one colony mission, the Macross 7 fleet, encounters a group known as the Varuta, which are an army for a race known as the protodevlin. Rock star Basara Nekki saves the universe from them. That's Macross 7. There's also a prequel series known as Macross Zero, that takes place pre-2009, but it's not relevant as VFX2 was written before Macross Zero. I don't know what VR3 is. I would assume you mean Macross M3, which was a Dreamcast game.

Because nobody would buy it. 338008[/snapback] Sure they would. Lots've people've bought the bootlegs already. 338009[/snapback] Yeah dude... Like 16 people on Macross World, thats like TOTAL justification for bringing it to the US! 338943[/snapback] I'm pretty sure it's higher than that. Even bootleggers have operation costs to cover.

what were these controversial lines they are referring to? 338931[/snapback] I remember someone threw a hissyfit because int eh first ep, Roy's subbed as saying "the neds of the many outway the needs of the one" instead of quoting the exact population of the city when he's denied authorization to look for Hikaru. Didn't hurt the meaning at all, but added a mild Trek reference. There were a few lines like that. No real change of the meaning, just a bit of "tweaking."

You're confused, Roy. That's MY job description.

Why do I keep thinking ADV's gonna use the Rawbooteck songs?

I'm confused... What does Bandai have to do with anything?

OR for a slightly more permanent solution...

Agreed.

Agreed. 338675[/snapback] ...

YAh. But he got better, so it's all right.

Officially a trend, I guess...

I love you, you love me, homosexuality.

This same market's also been eating Robotech up. It's possible that, ignorant of the truth, they'll ignore the Macross DVDs anyways because Robotech is "the dub version of Macross." It's ALSO possible that they're curious about the show's origins and WILL buy real Macross once a dub is available.

A semi-homage to a strange GBA/DS courtroom drama game. DS version's got a US release as "Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney." Yes. My awesome powers of mind control let me manipulate your perception of the words in the box. ... But sometimes I just cheat and use the form. http://www.reset931.net/saiban/ The first 3 links above the guy let you pick a lawyer to object with. The 4th is an ad. Unleash the evil. We could use a new sith lord. HAHA!

338440[/snapback] Just for you.

I think they're banking on people not knowing jack about emulation. A lot of poeple don't. That's what drove NES prices up through the roof a while back. They wanted to recapture their youth, and saw no way other than to go out and buy it all back.

OBJECTION!

You are... Nerds++! And by making a programming joke, I default myself into the category of nerd, so no offense.

*shrugs* I just got sick of bickering the Rev maybe a week after the controller was unveiled. 338391[/snapback] ahh. I wasn't so much trying to rag on it, rather to announce my "wait and see" stance on it... sorry if it came across as harsh 338399[/snapback] It didn't really... I just sorta snapped.

If I recall correctly... 1. Get a Macross Mastercard(japanese-only, of course). 2. Rack up a certain balance before the contest date. 3. Everyone that had X yen on their Macross Mastercard was entered in a drawing for a black 1/48. I think they made a few, but it wasn't a whole lot.

It's too late. Once a thread has drifted off-topic, only the mightiest of wills can force it back on-topic. Soon it will move into a discussion of AgentONE's biceps. And the governator's acting. That is the way of all threads here on MacrossWorld.

Yeah, because paying half-naked women to pretend to be interested in you is a lot cooler than debating a 20 year old cartoon. 338312[/snapback] It's certainly more fun. For participants and spectators alike.

Welcome to 2 months ago.

Well, when I do that, I get 4. When you do it, you get 268.2 and then assert boldy that it's really the only reasonable conclusion. 338250[/snapback] 2 + 2 = 4 2 & 2 together is 22 Learn your math. (j/k) 338272[/snapback] And 1+1=10.
