  1. Everyone's definitions of "mecha" here seem rather, um...personalized. Mecha are machines, plain and simple. Macross is mecha, Star Wars is mecha, Transformers are mecha. Eva, IMHO, scrapes by on the fact that they don't reveal that the Evas are completely organic until near the end of the series. http://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/メカ Also cf. the Studio Nue Mecha Design Entertainment Bible, which contain space ships, drivable robots, androids, bases...pretty much anything mechanical.
  2. "Mecha" is not a synonym for "real robot." Hell, Japanese fans talk about "Star Wars mecha."
  3. AAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!! WATCH THE DAMN MOVIE FOR PETE'S SAKE!!!!
  4. Meh. The Stooges or the MC5 could beat Ted Nugent any day. His early stuff with the Amboy Dukes is pretty good, but everything after... Yecch.
  5. Okay, I'll give that one to you...Bear Force One is not really a boy band... More of a "man band."
  6. She's also (I believe) played more Macross characters than anybody else: Mylene (of course), Canary Minmay (from Macross Generation) and one of the Milky Dolls.
  7. Maybe a miffed Fred Savage...
  8. Hmmm...it turns out he's VERY important indeed... And hey! in a versus ! How cool is that???
  9. I wonder if Tomo Sakurai is proud of this? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NRQTenor_E (And, uh, she's the one in the middle.)
  10. I just want to know why it's growling...
  11. I haven't seen the latest issue around in a while, but I also haven't been to any of the big anime shops in the last couple of months. And it's still listed for sale on the Kadokawa site. Where are you going to be? If you're worried, you could always ask one of us to pick it up for you.
  12. I'm not really sure how someone could put up DVD rips BEFORE the DVD actually comes out...
  13. There is none. Not yet, at any rate.
  14. I know! What the hell is a no-talent hack like Minmay doing on that otherwise stunning cover?
  15. Pfft. Don't sell yourself short. You're better than you think.
  16. Yeah...they're my favorite band, bar none.
  17. That's kind of unfair, Pizza. The Voltron movie was ANNOUNCED as cancelled. Robotech hasn't been. Yet.
  18. No, I mean can Rhade provide the source of the quote? I can't say definitively that Kawamori DIDN'T say that (although it seems unlikely), so I'd like some more information before saying "No, it's false." So if Rhade can tell you where he read the quote, that would be helpful.
  19. I've never seen anything where he said that. Can Rhade provide the source?
  20. Yes...those people are called "unproduced screenwriters."
  21. Possibly. But the RT.com "theory" was always a stupid argument with a stupid premise, not to be taken seriously be anyone with more than an ounce of sense.
  22. I know the special effects shots were cut from Razor for the TV broadcast because...um...they were owned by a different company...? Something like that. I didn't know they were cut from The Plan, though. That kinda sucks...isn't it bad enough that they had to cut out the "Zoom in on the cock!" moment?
  23. You'll love the first thirty minutes or so of The Plan.
  24. Just picked it up yesterday...I gotta admit, I'm a little disappointed. The first chapter, yes, delves into Sheryl's past, but the second catches up with the main Frontier story pretty quick. I'm not sure if it's a retelling of the movie version, or if it's yet another version of the story, though. The funniest part is definitely the cast of the "Galactic Diva Lynn Minmay" stage show, and the obi on the book, which declares "Atashi no Manga o yome!" ("Read my comic!") The art's a lot better than some of the other Frontier comics, though, that's for sure.
