Actually...I hadn't known that, so I guess we BOTH learned something today...

Good point...she may be one of the only Macross idols who DIDN'T save humanity, and thus is kind of unique. Well, her and the green-haired "Minmay Defense" girl. And Alice Holiday. And the Jammingbirds. But Wendy Ryder definitely looked the best in a poofy tutu.
-
Ah, well. I still think it's a shout-out, but I guess it's nothing more than that.
-
But...but...Wendy didn't actually DO anything, besides sing and act dumb. Ishtar actually saved the world...

I blame television for ruining your creative visualization abilities.

It makes even more sense if you look at their names in Japanese...ジーナス (Jiinasu) and ジーナ (Jiina). I think the reason I'm wondering about it NOW is because I suddenly remembered an old Mikimoto interview in...Animerica, I believe, when Macross II was first coming out, where he said that, due to legal reasons or copyright issues or something, they couldn't use any of the old characters...but, on the other hand, that meant they didn't have to use the old mecha, either. (which seemed like a very, very nice way of describing the situation). Anyway, I wondered if perhaps they WANTED to telegraph to the viewers that she was really Sylvie JENIUS, but couldn't come right out and say it. But then, I'm also convinced that Usso Evin is Char's great-grandson, no matter what Tomino says.
-
All the talk about Macross II got me thinking...are we all more-or-less in agreement that when Sylvie Gena says that her grandmother (or was it great-grandmother?) was Meltrandi, she was essentially saying that she's a descendent of Max and Millia? That was the impression I got, and I'm wondering if it was shared...
-
Oh come on...you know what the Macross looks like. You know what the ARMDs look like...it doesn't take much imagination to imagine them attached to each other...

Unless we're talking about Doctor Who, in which case it's AWESOME.

Well, if you've heard the interview with Ishiguro that was one of the easter eggs on the AnimEigo DVDs, you know that there was a "thing" between Misa and Global...so, Roy'ds dead, Misa gets married, Global and Claudia are both on the rebound...things happen, you know... Heh. My first ever thread on Macrossworld, back on the old boards, was posted right after I watched the AnimEigo DVDs for the first time in 2000, asking if the brdige crew was still alive or not. Unsurprisingly, it devolved into a flame war with some people saying it was PERFECTLY OBVIOUS that they all survived and other people pointing out that the Macross looked pretty well trashed in the final scenes. After pages and pages of this, I poked my head back in, and got yelled at by someone for even asking the question in the first place. So I don't know if it was the biggest mindfrack pulled by Robotech, but it was certainly my first mindfrack on MW.

I'm with VFTF1...all of us go off-topic ALL THE F#CKIN' TIME, and usually the only times the mods step in is when the topic gets into "sensitive" areas.
-
I don't understand...what toy releases are they following? As for the VF-1, I don't know if we'll get a B-page for the TV VF-1S, but I'm sure we will for the DYRL 1S. And then we will probably have a few pages for the TV VF-1A and at least two for the DYRL 1A. Then there's the VF-1D, the Armored VF-1, the Strike VF-1, the VE-1, and the VT-1. THEN we'll be done with the VF-1.

There IS a reamke...it's called Gundam the Origin, and it's great! Remaking it as an anime, though...that's a dangerous idea and, I think, not a very good one. Watch Gundam Evolve 15...sure, it looks good, but do you really want a whole series like that? Back on topic, I'd love to read Unicorn, but even my Japanese friends say the writing style is...difficult.
-
That's because they're NOT dead in Macross...Shammy ends up getting married and having eleven kids, Vanessa gets married to Rori and has a generally hard life, and Kim retires to Eden (and stays single). I don't know about Claudia and Global, though.
-
Erm, I think you're mixing 0083 up with the 08th MS Team. The latter was the one with the director who died.

Gundam Show Thread - MSG thru GQuuuuuuX
Gubaba replied to Black Valkyrie's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
DON'T DO IT!!! All you'll be left with is a lot of wreckage of hard graph tanks, a bunch of dead hard graph soldiers, and one very smug-looking Zaku. -
Okay, I admit it...although I have the first couple ADV volumes, I've only watched the dub of the first episode, and I tend to forget it exists. So when someone says the Robotech VAs are better than the Macross VAs, I'm thinking of the original cast. Still, if someone says (as someone has) that Reba West is a better Minmay than Mari Iijima, well, I don't care WHAT language Mari is speaking, that's just plain wrong. Also...I've spoken with Mari on quite a few occasions over the years, and her accent really isn't very strong. Certainly no stronger than, say, Ken Watanabe's, for example.
-
It wasn't that they used his name, it's that the producer said something like, "I've talked to him about the movie, and he's thrilled!" Which was a complete lie, of course.
-
Is that a request...?

:wacko: :wacko: :wacko:

Erm, I think you're confusing Macross Frontier Bobby with Macross 7 Bobby...

Chronicle #16 looks to be one of the most interesting yet.. And yes, Azrael, there's more VF-1 goodness, so bring a spoon...you'll want to catch every drop. Mechanic Sheet * VF-1A Valkyrie * Macross 7 Fleet [something] Ship [i'm far too lazy to look it up...] * Patrol Team Mother Ship [Hmmm...Dynamite 7, maybe?] Character Sheet * Maximillian Jenius * Hayao Kakizaki * Zomd / Goram [God, I hated them!] Timeline Sheet * The Species Born for War History Sheet * The Vajra Attack Technology Sheet * Overtechnology Gallery Sheet * Macross 7 Song Sheet * Love Drifts Away / Farewell to Tenderness [Man, they're almost out of Minmay songs now!] Making Sheet * Shoji Kawamori

That said, the idea of fat, sweaty fanboys singing "Zero-G Love" is downright hysterical!
-
To be fair, Macross Chronicle has so far been silent about exactly when Macross II takes place. It may be that the soundtrack liner notes are in error, or it may be that Macross Ace is. We really don't know yet. But, for me at least, I'll go with whatever Chronicle eventually decides to say about it.

Don't count him out...according to Macross 7 Docking Festival, he had his spiritia drained by Gigil and was revived, not by Basara's singing, but by a bunch of cute high school girls jogging past him. That kind of powerful spiritia-regeneration ability should not be discounted!
