    If it were "I like big BOTS an' I cannot lie," then I'd agree with it...
  2. Gubaba
    au contraire, mon frére...
  3. Gubaba
    Then who's the ultimate? Or do I not want to know...?
  4. Gubaba
    I don't, but it won the contest, fair and square. I mean, just because I acknowledge that The King's Speech won Best Picture at the Oscars last year doesn't mean it's my favorite movie, right?
  5. Gubaba
    Nope, sorry. "Small Wonder." Worse than anything.
  6. Gubaba
    Yes.

    Look...14 Japanese productions and 4 English productions call it "MAC-ross." ONE English production calls it "Muh-CROSS." It doesn't take a genius to figure out who's right...
  8. Gubaba
    That would be "The Thing from Another World -1."

    I still can't believe how much time and energy has gone into creating rationalizations for what is clearly a mistake...

    I would say it's not, unless the consumer in question is interested in at least some of the other content. Hell, I'm even thinking about giving it up in favor of only getting the collected editions...

    So...second issue of Newtype Ace is out today, and it's official: I don't like this magazine. Monthly, ¥580, nearly 750 pages...and yet, there are only a few pages that I actually care about. This issue: 1. News about the Sayonara no Tsubasa DVD and Blu-Ray (as well as "Macross Last Frontier"), and some figures that are coming out, as well as a blurb for the fanclub event early next year. 2. Macross the First is a reprint of the first half of Chapter 8. Lame. 3. Macross Plus: TAC Name has returned, and is as lackluster as ever. Once again, I wish the Macross Ace editors could've gotten their act together and made a really GOOD Macross magazine...but, alas...

    Didn't Carl Macek always maintain that the SDF-1 and -2 were back-to-back...? He did when I saw him back in the '80s.

    Too late. Even "Far Out Space Nuts" isn't as bad as "Small Wonder."
  14. Gubaba
    Fixed.

    Just a rip of the old Central Anime fansubs, I'm sure. Someone really needs to do a new version, right? Just sayin'...
  16. Gubaba
    Rock on with your bad self, VF5SS. Where you're goin', we don't need "roads"...

    Okay, I'm confused...when did "Rick" become a better pilot than Max...? http://www.robotech.com/community/forum/read.php?id=2130506&forumid=11

    LISTEN TO MY SONG!!!

    Again, someone else did all the imagining for you... http://www.eyrie.org/~aerianne/pics/07/sterlings/sterling.heights.cc.jpg Although "muse" has been replaced by "Xeralia."
  20. Gubaba
    You'll give it back when you're done, right?
  21. Gubaba
    Erm...I think you mean, Kinryu, not Docker. And all the Macross 7 Plus shorts should be there...you just have to watch past the credits on every fourth episode.
  22. Gubaba
    "Fanboy jollies"...? Let's make a deal. I won't quote you out of context if you don't EVER ascribe the lamest of motivations to me without cause. 'Kay? It could be...if there were any good fan art of Maia... Anyway, here ya go...is this fairer? Sheryl still looks better in a tanktop.
  23. Gubaba
    Uh...true, but maybe you should define your terms a little better. Case in point: How was I supposed to know that from context and usage? Just because a word has multiple meanings doesn't mean it can mean anything you want it to mean... Not really. "Pacify" can also mean "subdue by armed force." See the things you can learn from dictionaries...?
  24. Gubaba
    I know, I know...I use English "words" to convey "meaning," and I try to use them in a "commonly-accepted sense," which is generally found in a "dictionary." I'm so KA-RAAAAAAAAAZZZZY!!! You also said "definitive purpose," which is something more general, and fits Basara. You said "destroy" the enemy, but if you change it to "pacify" the enemy (in whatever way), doesn't that also fit Basara? Charging into the middle of a battle isn't "kamikaze" enough for you...? Really...? Look...it's not that I don't UNDERSTAND you, it's that I don't AGREE with you.
  25. Gubaba
    But I am...I'm saying none of the pilots you listed were kamikazes. And as Renato pointed out, if by "kamikaze" you mean (incorrectly), "flying into the face of danger with (as you put it) a 'definitive purpose,'" then yes, Basara belongs with them. The problem is that you're creating a reductive definition of a "Macross hero," which doesn't hold water...specifically, that they have to be flying out to rescue a woman. DYRL Hikaru doesn't fly against Bodolzaa to rescue a girl. Alto doesn't fly against Galaxy to rescue a girl (well...he does first, but not in the final, final battle). Hibiki doesn't fly against Igues to rescue Ishtar or Sylvie. It's more like you're saying, "What definition can I come up with more a Macross hero that excludes Basara?" and then working from there.
