I have the Quadrilogy set. It's well worth the money, even upgrading from the old Legacy set. The Alien3 workprint is interesting and definately makes a difference. The only slight downside to it is that the original materials had degraded and couldn't be properly restored to good quality, sound especially. It defaults to having subtitles on for a couple of scenes. Also, Alien3 is very underrated and very undeservingly bashed. It's not as good as the first and second movies certainly, but it's nowhere near as bad as it's reputation, or the fourth movie which is truely terrible.

Too rich for my blood? Hardly. I'm just smarter than to give my money to criminals for stolen goods (or 'bads' considering the substandard quality of bootlegs).

Regardless of how comprehensive it appears to be, the Compendium isn't an official site and thus it can't be treated as one.

uh no It would most likely get a similar release to Yukikaze, five episodes over two disks. Nobody does one episode per disk releases in R1.

For any person at least half computer literate person and with any sense of ethics, the first choice.

With Windows Media Player 7/8/9, you press ctrl-I for to take screencaps.

That's Ivanov's SV-51

I watched it a while ago - definately the best episode yet. The art and animation are superb, they really took it to another level. Especially the CG animation, it's still not quite perfect but moves a lot better. I was also really impressed with the music. No singing, but it just fit very well, and a nice ending credits song. It's not an all action episode, the entire first half as none as it's devoted to plot (which was needed) and Roy fans should scale down their expectations - he's barely present in the episode. He has no scenes other than the sequence with the armoured valkyrie only says about three words during that. It's predominantly a Shin/Mao/Sara episode.

Lets just say.. you'll get your wish.

I got my notice earlier today as well. With any luck we should be watching it fansubbed later next week.

I've heard Gundam X was cancelled because Evangelion's reruns stole the ratings. FV An incorrect rumour which just won't die, the two never competed. Gundam X started in a prime timeslot (5:30pm Fridays) and was expected to do well - it only did average. Combined with it's merchandise doing poorly, after 26 episodes it was shifted from that timeslot to 6:00am Saturday mornings - a deathblow. In the new timeslot it's highest rating didn't even match the lowest rating it had achieved in it's original timeslot, thus it was cancelled.

Probably the best advice in this thread so far.

Then don't. It's 99% fanboy fabricated nonsense based on throwaway lines in M7 anyway.

Start with Gundam SEED, although at this point you'd have to watch fansubs since it won't be released on dvd until next year (avoid HK bootleg dvds like plague). It's a good series that's basically made for people like yourself. After that, Zeta, Victory, Turn-A and X are very good series. The only Gundam you really need to actively avoid are Gundam Wing TV, Gundam F-91 and Gundam ZZ. They are dreck. (0079 while 'good', is a badly aged relic, only notable for nostalga value now. Worth watching at some point, but not first.)

I hope you're not basing your review on that, since it's not a translation at all.

Robotech was released more than two years ago. If you happened to buy it later than that, thems the breaks.

No kidding, those are some really good prices..... No kidding... I wonder if any of them are bootlegs... some of the $12 dollar discs I wonder about.... DDD are definately not bootleggers.

Take that scene out and you have an almost pure PG-13 movie. It's the only reason it got an R.

It's not common since it was never widely released, it wasn't done by a fansub group. It was made from an R2 dvd source with selectable subtitle. Another reason it's hard to find is it's unweildy size, it's a 1.3gb file.

I don't think the dialogue is really the point I was pretty amused by an M7 h-doujin I read recently due to their rather unique form of censoring, where instead of lines and mosaics covering certain parts, they used pictures of valkyries.

He should be, considering it isn't.

No kidding. The amount of support for Hong Kong bootlegs on the Macrossworld forums is sickening.

Episode 3 was subbed a bit back - you should search it out, it redeems the show after the crapfest that was the second episode.
