    Unfortunately, most of them were ripped off from other science fiction works, like Childhood's End.

    I would agree, too...except most ADV dubs sound just as bad.

    It's been a looooong while since I read "Skull Heart" (a translated version of it is available on the internets, thoough), so I don't remember if they cloned Amuro's brain, or just created it in a lab or what...anyway, my earlier post may have been a bit misleading. It's not the actual brain that was sitting in Amuro's skull throughout the earlier stories...it's a clone or a replica or something like that. It's tough to use the novels to prove or disprove anything in the animation, considering that Amuro and Hayato both die at the end of the original MSG novel trilogy. And, to make it even more confusing, there are TWO novelizations (both by Tomino) of CCA: Hi-Streamer (a trilogy) and Beltorchika's Children (a single volume). I've heard that Char and Amuro both die in Beltorchika's Children...I don't know about Hi-Streamer, though. My feeling about the movie (and this is only MY feeling), is that they either both lived, or both died. I can't believe that one of them survived and the other didn't. And since it doesn't look like Char's going to be going anywhere by the end of the movie, I assume he didn't. So then Amuro must be dead, too.

    Enh, I agree with Eugimon. I really don't buy the notion that there's some kind of society-wide attack on manly-men, or that the producers of the new BSG made Starbuck a woman because they didn't want to have a macho guy on the show. Your earlier assessment was right on, I think: he comes off as whiny. And paranoid. And (as Eugimon said) delusional: the original Starbuck was just a bargain-basement Han Solo with Captain Kirk's libido thrown in. He was not a great character, nor was he portrayed by a great actor.

    Amuro's brain makes a reappearance is Crossbone Gundam Skull Heart (UC 0133). Other than that, no.

    After watching the video shown in Mari-Ja's first image ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilPCQjqd1i4 ), I *think* they want a continuation of Macross 7 done with DYRL/FB2012-quality animation...but I'm still not sure.
  7. Gubaba
    You infer correctly. She also manages to be tougher than any ten guys on the ship while also being totally hot...which pissed off the guy who played Starbuck in the original series: http://bighollywood.breitbart.com/dbenedic...-in-castration/
  8. Gubaba
    What can you do? The ladies love Starbuck.

    Just finished Season 1.
  10. Gubaba
    Bingo. That album made me hate Shammy's V.A. STOP TALKING SO FAST, DAMMIT!!
  11. Gubaba
    Yeah...that's actually why I didn't watch the new series when it started...because I knew that the original series was best left to misty memories of wanting to have a robot dog (sorry, "daggit") and fight Cylons. Some things are bad, even in hindsight (I also liked "Battle Beyond the Stars" when I was a kid...do I want to see it again? HELL NO!). But it allows me to have a hearty laugh whenever anyone refers to Battlestar Galactica as an example of "messing with the classics." Almost done with Season 1 now...and enjoying it immensely.

    All we know is what was posted in the back of Vol. 2. We won't know more until it comes out on the 13th.
  13. Gubaba
    My pleasure! And there's more coming up...not just books, but other things too. Here's a hint: the next "special translation" will be released on Christmas Eve.
  14. Gubaba
    But...but...almost all of his teammates end up dead...
  15. Gubaba
    Well, I need SOME time for Macross translating...
  16. Gubaba
    The difference for me is that some Macross fan dude who lives in Poland recommended Gurenn Lagann, while a cute lesbian of my acquaintance basically forced her Battlestar Galactica DVD collection on me. Really, which would YOU make time to watch first...?

    The original post: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...st&p=790673 And the headaches caused by it: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...&pid=795410
  18. Gubaba
    He did!?
  19. Gubaba
    Sorry... I haven't read the thread. I finally got around to start watching the series a couple of weeks ago...so far I'm up to episode 10 of season 1, and I'm really enjoying it. Part of the fun is that (as I detailed elsewhere) I tried to get through the original series as a prelude to the new series. I remember loving the old series when I was a kid...but this time 'round, I found it trite and dull. The new version was EXACTLY what I needed to wash the taste of the '70s one out of my mouth.
  20. Gubaba
    Yeah, it does. But probably not enough to keep most mechaheads happy. And most of them happen after the halfway point of the series.
  21. Gubaba
    A word of warning...it will never turn into the hardcore mecha show you may be hoping for. It gets more serious as it goes on, but it remains kinda goofy throughout. A lot of Macross fans never make it through the "eye of the needle," as it were. Think of it as a show about a band with some mecha in it, rather than a show about mecha with a band in it, and you'll probably be happier.
  22. Gubaba
    No, but he starts singing different songs. Remember, you're MEANT to find Basara annoying at the beginning. Give it fifteen to twenty episodes...if you still hate it, drop it.
  23. Gubaba
    Oh, there's tons in it that should be updated (do they still use the term "pink salon"? Or "porno"?), but I tried to resist that. Reading the book, I *think* it really gave me a glimpse of what Tokyo in 1982 must have been like...far more than what living aboard a spaceship in 2009 would be.
