Does Studio Nue know we call him that?

Live Action Blood: The Last Vampire
RedWolf replied to Gunbuster's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Just went to the cinema earlier and was blown away by this Live Action adaption trailer of Blood the last vampire. I never watched the Anime movie or read the manga or light novels or seen the anime tv series. As a rule I avoid Vampire themed anime/manga storylines but the trailer tempts me to see the basics before watching it. Japanese Trailer English Trailer Japanese girl in old school seifuku killing vampires?! Hell yeah! -
Hard Core Trek fan and trivia fanatic... I'll go against the flow of praise. I did go to watch this movie with an open mind. But was disappointed. One I won't accept this as a Yesterday's Enterprise scenario with a wiped out timeline. I chalk it up as a A Mirror Darkly scenario where Spock and the Romulans were flung to another reality's past. I can't help but notice some inconsistencies. Like Pike saying the Federation is an armada etc. It struck me as the writer did not do research. Another is suddenly everyone knows that Romulans and Vulcan's were related. The Romulans were still a mystery in the early and mid 23rd century. Second contact between the Federation and the Romulan Empire occured a hundred years after the Romulan War. The Enterprise were involved with this. Also the Federation has a Neutralzone with the Klingon Empire?! The Federation and the Kilingons did not have a Neutralzone till the Organians forced on them a peace treaty. The Enterprise again was involved in it. I enjoyed Leonard Nimoy reprising Spock and meeting younger versions of his crew. The new McCoy's actor was a good cast. I'm annoyed that the new Chekov is too stereotyped with the accent. Pike ended up in a wheel chair again but no life support. The brain bugs were from Ceti Alpha V of Star Trek II. Technobable I don't think Scotty can take credit for the long range transporter beam tech. Gary Seven did demonstrate a very long range transporter beam which he was accidentally caught by the Enterprise's transporter. Also where were the freaking shields?! I had a WTF that Spock and Uhura had a thing. That and Scotty getting assigned to the backwater of the galaxy smells plagiarism to me. Why? It is blatant rip-off of some themes from a Fan-made Star Trek film involving previous Star Trek franchise actors particularly Nichelle Nichols and Walter Koenig. In the film Uhura was married to Stron. Stron was Spock's rival for T'Pring. The guy killed at the beginning was assigned to a backwater outpost. Vulcan was destroyed. Charlie Evans travelled through time for revenge killing Kirk before he was born. On the ships... Nero's ship is the weirdest Romulan ship I've seen. A new variety of Starfleet ships which look like they killed the Matt Jeffries equivalent designer of starships. The Enterprise is younger than its TOS counterpart. The original Enterprise was already a couple of decades old when Kirk took command. The treat here were the D7 battlecruisers. But they were referred as Warbirds like in the beginning of Enterprise. Warbirds as a terminology besides the Romulan Warbird in the Klingon shipbuilding I would prefer for the Raptor and Bird of prey.

Macross Big West non-canon mecha and technology thread

ELS game booklet I believe. Got most of the scans and game screens here. http://archive-scans.blogspot.com/2009/05/...cross-post.html Just over the 2036 Neld Fleet Incident and Eternal Love Song. -

Not to mention there is little or no lineart of enemy mecha from these games. VF-X brought us the Stealth Glaug, Reguld Custom, Stealth Quel-Quallie, Stealth Fighter Pod and the Feios Valkyrie. Which pretty much tells the Zentradi rebels don't rest on their laurels. VF-X2 had the Hatchet class destroyer, Vandal gunship, Rorqual submarine, Gjagravan-Va land destroid, Annabella Lasiodora mobile weapon. There are still Anti-UN groups with their own original mecha. M3 is the most surprising with the Zentradi Variable Glaug and the combiner known only as the Saishuuheiki. Saishuuheiki As you can see here it appears to be a mis-mash of prominent Zentradi mecha characteristics. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K246hR_5ZYo

Well to me VFs are better because it is more suited for fleet and carrier groups. An XX size mobile suit to me is a waste of space for a carrier vessel. Plus there are the optional packs and armor. Even the electronic warfare type.
-
I don't know if this has been pointed out before but the VF-1X Plus aside from the Super Pack also has the Strike version according to this image from a review of Macross Digital Mission VF-X. Just confirmation from those who played it. If so the VF-1 Strike is an expy alongside the DYRL Nousjadeul-Ger and Queadluun-Rau.

Well on top of my head is Macross Dynamite 7 where Liza transformed her VF-5000 from Gerwalk mode to Battroid mode to talk to her giant father and SDFM episode 2 with Hikaru and the VF-1D.

Macross Big West non-canon mecha and technology thread
RedWolf replied to RedWolf's topic in Movies and TV Series
As far I know no. That goes the same for the famisoft games. The ones with the Stampede and Star Crusader. 2036 and ELS were released around the same time as Macross II and according to some materials directly related to Macross II. So the timeline is DYRL-2036-ELS-II Lovers Again. Not to mention there is a game shout out in OVA with the arcade. -
This thread is for the discussion of exclusive Macross II timeline non-Studio Nue mecha and technology. Meaning from Do You Remember Love up to Macross II Lovers Again. As you can see some of them still needs to have names on them. Anyway I need sleep I'll add what I can tomorrow.

Macross Frontier Series Discussion Thread *READ 1st Post*
RedWolf replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Mind you some novel info I got wind off at Animesuki. Originally Grace was girl who grew up on the Global. She even had a relationship with Ranshe's husband. Grace considers Mao like a mother. But Ranshe aside from marrying the man she loves is more favored by Mao than Grace. That is where the hate for Brera, Ranka and Sheryl come from. The CEO's of Macross Galaxy itself seem seedy and corrupt enough but whatever plans they had got a major change when Grace joined them. The technologies in the aftermath of Macross Plus that may be taboo they further developed. You are correct the CEOs of Macross Galaxy wouldn't risk themselves. Thus the absence of Galaxy Mainland during the final battle. According to the MF Novelization Grace's real body is at Macross Galaxy. Macross Galaxy fleet is still out there. -
Macross Frontier Mecha/Technology Thread IV *Read 1st Post*
RedWolf replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Which reminds me the VF-11B has a bayonet in its gunpod. Isamu skewered a Zentradi battlesuit with it. Lots of blood too. -
Remember Hiro's powers were stolen by Arthur. Supposed Arthur takes it all and leaves nothing behind. But whatever latent ability Hiro has is activated by Baby Matt. Now mere stopping time isn't Hiro's original power. His power included time travel, teleportation and localized time reversal. Baby Matt activated Hiro's power without whatever safeties he had before.

Well if his ambition drove him to be the most successful transport businessman in Macross I don't know whether to be happy or sad for him. Safe to say Macross Galaxy and Luca of LAI totally couldn't read the motivations of the old coot. Gadget Chiba , who likely wasn't born yet in Space War 1, pushed culture shock and song research beyond the boundaries because of his belief in Minmay. -
Thanks I've been gathering info about the 2036 and ELS mecha. I've noticed VF development in the Big West timeline was slower. VF--->VF-1R series--->VF-4 Siren--->VF-XX Zentran--->VF-2SS, VF-2JA --->VF-1MS Metal Siren. But Zentradi/Meltrandi mecha is more varied in the Big West timeline.

On Macross Galaxy ship name at episode 6 the captain in the distress video calls the ship Mainland. A later episode where Grace assures Sheryl she said that Mainland must have escaped and not give up hope. (It wasn't damaged to begin with anyway.)

edit: Forget what I said earlier I just looked at it. Anyway for the YF-24 manufacturer shouldn't it be Shinsei Industry and General Galaxy? True it is Shinsei that gave the plans to fleets like Frontier and Galaxy but according to MC translations it was developed by both.

Macross Frontier Mecha/Technology Thread IV *Read 1st Post*
RedWolf replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
More like the Protoculture don't know how to produce Fold Quartz. Or the humans for that matter. The culture of the Protoculture does not seem to be the type to harm Vajra or Whales. If one is make an analogy the Vajra are like bees. The Protoculture may have gathered fold quartz like getting honey. It would explain how a fold quartz ended up as a heirloom of the Nome family. Passed down from the Protoculture. But it can be argued by studying these fold capable creatures the Protoculture made breakthroughs with the Miclone process and Super Dimensional organs. As with the Zentradi and Evil Series, One probable instance of the Protoculture copying the Vajra is the planet designated by UN Spacy as New Asia. An abandoned Protoculture planet. There UN Spacy using leftover biotechnology created giant bug weapons controled by a single queen bug. In Macross M3 the experiment went awry. Max and Millia were sent to clean up the mess. By cleaning I mean getting rid of all the beam blasting bugs. -

RedWolf replied to azrael's topic in Movies and TV Series
Although it hasn't been expressed explicitly fold enigines may require some element, mineral or compound to function. Criminal elements around Zola use Galactic Whales to make better fold engines. Fold quartz extracted from Vajra makes super fold boosters. Also on planet Veil the miners were mining some element or mineral called Berganium. -

I'm venturing to guess they studied both the Vajra and Galactic Whales. The only natural space folding creatures known to exist. -
