I talked with the new admin over there (I pointed out a place where Shaloom must have lied, and not just been mistaken), and his response was that he wasn't going to waste time checking things like that out. Shaloom said it was all just an honest error, and that was good enough. As Azrael tactfully pointed out, this means little for us over here at MW (certainly we don't need any other people to go poking and prodding over there. I for one am certainly not going to back there...what's the point?). Let them have their website the way they want it. BUT...I would respectfully suggest that any new Macross information we get must be checked thoroughly, and any information from Macross Generation should be treated as fabricated, unless it comes with verifiable sources. Fair enough?

Thanks! But now I'm annoyed at myself for not thinking of checking evageeks...

Something tells me that the new taxi driver won't speak French to him. The Village does have bigger maps in 2009 than it did in 1968, though. I guess that's progress of a sort. Anyway, yeah. I won't be watching this one. Be seeing you.

Hell, there are still about five or six SDFM tracks that were never released...

Even with all the Macross 7 CDs that have been released, there's still a TON of songs from the show the remain unavailable. That song is one of them. Sorry.

I heard that it was a fan-designed Angel. That there was some kind of contest or something. Probably just a rumor, but you never know.

I'd like to oblige, but it really depends on how fast I can crank out the necessary stuff for the Macross Translation Project. I don't have a whole lot of breathing room right now, but that could change by September or October.

True, true. I'm not trying to make any more waves than I already have (nor am I trying to start any kind of anti-Shaloom discussions)...I'm just expressing disappointment in the situation over there, especially since Iker seems a genuinely good guy. For the Macross fandom at large, I think the "Ohnogi Question" (and the related "Shaloom Question") remains settled. At least, I hope so. I really don't want to go through any of this again.

The situation over at Macross Generation is...not good. After getting stripped of his admin title, Shaloom somehow roared back, got rid of Iker and Bau (the other moderators), and hired some new members to be moderators. Macross Generation is, once again, Shaloom Central...and any hope for credibility flies out the window. However, it looks like a number of members are still not satisfied with Shaloom "explanation" of the situation. I hate to say it, but I think a major split is coming in the Spanish-speaking Macross fandom. Shaloom COULD come clean, be honest, and avoid wrecking he site he said, but clearly, that's not what he's planning. Suffice to say, when more Macross information comes our way from over there, I think it will be greeted by everyone with hearty laughter and a sad shake of the head. Too bad. MG was a nice site, with lots of good people.

There are also two Eva Chronicles books (although the first one seem to have gone out of print): Essential Chronicles Side A and Essential Chronicles Side B. I have both of those, but I never got the magazine, so I don't know how much ended up in the books, and how much got left out. Anyway, that indicates there's hope for Macross Chronicles book (or two. Or three).

Macross II. (and this probably should've gone in the newbie questions thread. ) EDIT: DAMN YOU, AZRAELLLLLL!!!

Thank goodness it's a joke...we already have how many Macross 7 drama albums? Seven? Eight? Something like that...

She DOES feel like that. Or, as she put it at a gig once, "I've made twenty f*cking albums, but all people remember is Macross!"

Well, the Britai page confirms that Ogotai related to him by cloning. They also show a picture of Elmo, but say that it unknown whether or not he and Britai are from the same family...

Since dreamweaver13 reminded me...I got an email from Shaloom last week. I asked Shaloom's permission to post it, but haven't heard back yet, so I guess that's a "no." Which is too bad, 'cause it was a doozy. Essentially, he said that all the information in the "liner notes" came from 2ch rumors that he took to be real (despite the fact that he, Shaloom, claimed to have checked the credits and seen Ohnogi's name, and also claimed to have a lot of these obscure (and nonexistent) books). But the bulk of his message was that the other moderators of Macross Generation were simply using me. Using me to "sow discord." Using me to enable them to take over the site. I wrote back and told him I didn't buy the "2ch rumors." One way or another, he lied. I haven't heard back, and I doubt I will. Makes me wonder, though...is this guy disturbed enough that he actually BELIEVES his own lies, now...?

Why, whoever could you be referring to, mi amigo?

Wow...I never noticed that before... Great find! You've gotta ask yourself, though...is this Basara really "better"...?

I...can't disagree with that. But Mylene looks cute (as always) and Gamlin's expression is perfect.

Yeah...the VF-0S page for the Chronicle way back last year called it the Phoenix, as well.

You enjoyed Sheryl dressed as Basara, right? So if Sheryl = Basara, then it stands to reason that Basara = Sheryl. Therefore, this picture is awesome.

BEST. PICTURE. EVER.

I think they're talking about District 9. We've got a thread about it here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=29922

Thanks for the thorough answer. I agree that all available circumstantial evidence points to the conclusion that HG cannot use anything except the actual film footage of Macross (which is all Tatsunoko owns), but I really wish there was something big and specific that said plainly, "HG can't use this." Oh, well. Maybe Big West will actually CHALLENGE the copyright next time around...we can dream, right? Yeah, I remember that. The one that listed Britai as "Bullitie," right?
