I believe Star Dragon's also the guy who announced that the SDF-1 is not 1200 meters, as stated, but actually four miles long.

Just like Lucasfilm doesn't crush http://www.supershadow.com/ like a grape...?

I'm just surprised they haven't cracked down on ol' Dougie for calling his site "The Official Podcast Headquarters of the Robotech Universe."

No, of course not. After all, who doesn't like Sheryl? Sorry, you're going to have to undergo the Official Macross Hazing Ritual, which involves watching all of Macross 7 in one 27-hour marathon session (no bathroom breaks - a cup will be provided for urination purposes), followed immediately by having to sing the entire "Nyan-Nyan Service Medley (Special Edition)" in front of a huge crowd of drunk, rowdy bikers. Then you have to listen to English Fire!! and the Leon/Grace duet of "Zero-G Love" 36 times in a row. And then we'll ask you to explain the end of Macross Zero in twenty seconds or less. Then, and ONLY then, can you consider yourself a true Macross Purist.

The next Macross idol needs to be Tommy february⁶. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCFeQ37q2LY

I dunno...do you like naked 12-year-old girls? 'Cause it seems that there's something in the Macross Purist Rulebook about that.

I did it the stupid way...I looked at the list I've been keeping in the Chronicle Translation thread, counted how many sheets there were, and divided roughly by half. My third binder now opens with Basara.

Misa Hayase: White Reminiscences Prologue The irritating footsteps inside of the room came and went. Takashi Hayase looked at the clock once again. The appointed time has already passed. Hayase held the pipe in his mouth again, even though it had gone out some time before. The meal on the table had gotten cold. This person was not just an Admiral in the U.N. Forces, he was also the father of a solitary daughter. “I apologize for taking so long.” Misa had arrived at last. “You’re late.” …but it’s all right, he started to say, but the words stuck in the back of his throat. Misa stood at the doorway wearing a long-sleeved kimono, which had been ordered specially for this day. Her long hair was arranged carefully, and her cheeks even showed a faint hint of red. “Please don’t look at me like that, Father.” She hid her embarrassed face with the kimono, and the collar dropped, exposing the nape of her white neck. “Please don’t be embarrassed. I’m just surprised at how lovely you look.” After he said that, the Admiral gestured for Misa to take a chair, and then he sat down opposite her. Although it was the first meal the two of them had had together in a long time, neither of them touched their chopsticks.

Well, that's what happens when a scriptwriter hits on an allegedly "clever" thought, like "Hey, in War of the Worlds, the aliens were killed by a virus, right? But these days, all the "hackers" on the "electronic bulletin boards" are talking about COMPUTER viruses! And that gives me AN IDEA!!!!"

Admittedly, Harrison Ford's delivery of the line is what makes that line great...that small beat before he says "How are you?" was brilliant timing.

Are you kidding? That was a GREAT line.

I'll leave the controversy alone (for now) (although I don't think Escaflowne really had much sexual content) and say that I looked for Galient subs and, like everyone else, the only thing I found was the xnebula version, eps. 1-4 only so far. But it's a sad fact that A LOT of '80s stuff hasn't been subbed yet by anyone except for maybe crappy Hong-Kong bootreg subbers. I'm still waiting for someone to finish Xabungle and L-Gaim or start on Daitarn 3. And I really wish someone would do the J9 trilogy. But a lot of shows have simply fallen through the woodwork for now. Your best bet is to get the xnebula versions and sit tight. Dougram won't go on forever, and when they finish it, maybe they'll get Galient out faster.

And you're ripping off Ecclesiastes now... I know the earlier plan was to do a trilogy for the LAEM. (First, Studio Khara's doing the Rebuild movies, not Gainax. ) And they ARE finishing them. Eva 2.0 came out last year, the DVD's coming out in spring, and I've heard that 3.0 is coming out this summer. Yeah, it's slower than they originally announced, but I think that's due to the workload, not money issues.

Oops. yeah...how the hell did that happen?

It's why I more or less stopped posting over there.

Whatsamatter? Don't you like girls...?

I agree. And again...most great books just aren't MEANT to be movies. Hyperion is more like a book of linked short stories, anyway...I'm not sure why anyone feels like it's crying out for a film version.

What's to clear up? Hikaru said it himself in episode 16: "Minmay's cousin - I mean, her uncle's son - has come back."

Yeah, nothing special there. Memo told everyone to check out Part VI, since that had the legal stuff it. Again, Tommy only talks about toys and comics and merchandizing rights, then says that Sentinels and Shadow Chronicles designs were changed because they thought maybe they could sell them in Japan. I dunno. Maybe he's lying, maybe he's not.

What, the one about watching Shadow Chronicles with the sound off and eyes closed? Yeah, that was me.

Huh. Ya learn somethin' new every day. I wonder, though...did early fans also mimic Hikaru's famous "aho ka...?"

And www.macrossfrontier.com used to lead you back to ADV's SDFM page...

Are you sure they weren't talking about the new animated movie...?

Again, that brings up the topic of how uncompleted projects Ilike, say, Sentinels) are limited nly by the fans' imaginations. It's the potential that grabs people...they can dream that animated Sentinels would been SO much better than the novels or comics, and there's nothing there to contradict them... So yeah, in a sense, you're right.

Yeah, and look what we got: a TV series (not even in English!) that's all eye-candy and no substance, nothing more than a re-hash of the first season of Robotech. It also rips off Shadow Chronicles (the Vajra are no different from the Invid, and the EX-Gear is exactly the same as the Cyclones), and is full of boredom and hentai, as well as pushing its homosexual agenda onto viewers. Not only that, but its got naked 12-year-old girls prancing around at every opportunity, for no purpose other than the sexual gratification of pedophiles. It also rips off Gundam pretty hard, since the Veritechs in it use beam swords. Every episode makes you say, "Meh. That could've been better." And dear God, the singing! Don't even get me started on the singing! WHY WHY WHY do they have to have girls singing all the time???
