It's not that it was unresolved, but rather that it had so many sides that no one really knew what kind of polygon it was.

I like to imagine that he's singing the Ninjin song to Ozma and that he's changed the lyrics to "Bobby loves you yeah!"

VF-1 wing mounted missile packs had missiles that faced both ways I recall (at least from the Yamato version). I'd like to point out however that the MDE gun does seem to pivot round to face forward in Gerwalk mode (at least in the pic, it looks like it's still attached to the arm and not held in hand). Also, if you look at the pictures posted earlier, the mounting points on the arms are suspiciously round.

Well there's the other one: the one who saves the day usually doesn't win the triangle.

Leon cooties are similar to protodevlin and are vulnerable to anima spiritia? It wasn't shown on screen, but Ozma had "Alto is a girl" painted on his valk.

They're still probably arguing over the design. Bobby and Ozma probably want something that looks like Basara while Ram wants a snail while Monica is secretly working on one that looks like Cpt. Wilder.

Well what would you expect from Itano and co. his style is mostly about the sheer joy of movement and the CG medium gave him the tools to push his style to the limit.

Well, it could simply be that she .

Yet by the late 2010's, there's a serious rush to bring out lower cost VFs with the VF-5000 eventually becoming a mainline fighter (it was the VF-9 that was gobbled up by the colonies). The fact that to a certain extent the VF-5000 started replacing the VF-4 during the latter half of the 2020's could indicate that even for the fleets, there was demand for a cheaper fighter possibly pointing. Factor the fact that the VF-1 was continually updated (from the Block 6 controls up to the VF-1X variant) could mean that the demand for a lower cost fighter could mean that the VF-1 was used to bolster fighter numbers when not enough VF-4s could be brought along.

At the very least it's a setup leading to the final decision, similar to how other Macross couples had special moments leading to their decisive moments (Hikaru and Misa in the ruins, Shin and Sara during the sunrise). I wont be surprised if an event comes along in the final episodes where Alto makes a decision by reiterating his promise to Sheryl to stick with her to the very end.

Well, maybe he thought it would be better for Luca to die with meaning, rather than to be randomly Kakizakied later on. Anyway, back to serious biz. I can't help but compare Alto and Sheryl's scene where the princess promises to stay by Sheryl's side until the end with Hikaru and Misa's scene in DYRL where Hikaru tells Misa that the one he wants to be by his side forever is her.

You'll have to forgive me if I don't immediately take that explanation at face value, seeing as I live in a country where the local Muslim insurgencies weapons of choice are M16s that have been supposedly sold to them by the armed forces itself.

Technically, only the parts of the galaxy that the NUN has explored is unified. The fold quartz will help whoever is in the helm of the NUN cover more territory for unification under the NUN.

Somewhere along the line, there have to be more than a few unscrupulous individuals who are letting advanced military hardware out into the black market. After all, how else will the companies that make the hardware be able to justify continuously developing their wares if without a credible threat.

I'm curious, please explain.

One other thing we have to remember is that the VF-4 is rather expensive, meaning that before the colonies had the option of getting cheaper VF-5000s and VF-9s, they probably did still field VF-1's when buying VF-4s was out of the question.

Quick question, since gg's speedsub isn't out yet, anyone have a link to a subs file for 22?

Hmm, I dunno. That image id kinda dark. I'll need some time with it to put it under intense scrutiny, if you know what I mean.

I can't recall exactly where, but I remember reading something in another site to the effect that a ton of hydrogen would be able to power a fusion reactor for about 50-80 years depending on the efficiency, they even had calculations and all. But alas, since I don't have the requisite degrees and/or training, I can't really explain in detail how they got to that conclusion. @Shaka_Z I mentioned liquid hydrogen since it's currently what many companies in the real world are doing research on. BMW has already revealed a tank that weighs lighter than a comparative steel fuel tank. off course, storing liquid hydrogen in space has its own set of problems, which we'll have to assume are addressed with overtechnology.

Could it be, the Hory Froating Head himself? Anyway, has anyone translated todays post?

How about the fact that once it's moving, a valk doesn't have to burn propellant thanks to Newtons laws. Plus, if the propellant is hydrogen, it's bound to be stored in liquid form compressed in tanks (which is the safer method). As for the reactor itself, the power output of a fusion reactor is such that you'd only need a small amount of actual reactor fuel to power the plane. Now, they used the term "reaction" for anything that was meant to be refer to standard nukes. Kawamori and his crew have specifically stated nuclear fusion, specifically pair annihilation as what powers valkyries. Besides, the Japanese have been using the concept in their mecha anime since the late seventies (mobile suits from the original Gundam are powered by fusion reactors as well, fueled by Helium-3 harvested in Jupiter). You have to consider that with most older mecha series, the creators are fans of sci-fi and strived to give their the same level of details and groundedness in science (or at the very least, psuedo science) as the authors they looked up to.

Caption would make more sense if Exsedol was there. I'd rather have a WWMD? club since the answer would be simple, he'd say "don't take your eyes off the monitor".

Thank heavens then that thermonuclear reactors, aka fusion reactors run on simple hydrogen, and not something radioactive (Uranium or Plutonium) like a modern day fission reactor.

Give the old man a break, all he wants is to retire to some tropical planet and be surrounded by cute girls in bikinis.

It can fly by simply using it's own on board propellant. The only reason for the intakes is to allow the plane to conserve its on board propellant by using the air around it when in an atmosphere.
