And you expect the rest of us to pander to your ignorance? Go and LEARN, my friend!

She's not doing it wrong...the picture is from a split-second AFTER the キラッ☆.

You're a Kakizaki fan, I take it...?

Ah. Thanks!

Enh, it'll show up on youtube sooner or later. And you won't have everybody's comments running across the screen (is there some way to turn those off? I find them INCREDIBLY annoying). EDIT: Okay, I partially take that back...I laughed at the first キラッ☆.

Well, THAT's easy enough to explain...behavior that is "charming" in a romantic comedy would likely get one slapped with a restraining order in real life. It's the same principle.

I'm not sure why you feel so betrayed...surely you've seen clip shows before? Hell, SDFM had two of 'em in close succession, and only one of them was worthwhile.

By the way, Morpheus, have you been to Good Day Used Books in Ebisu? They've got a good SF/Fantasy section, and their prices are extraordinarily cheap, considering they sell English books in Tokyo...

You lie. I tried it and nothing happened. But that's what you get for talking to Macross fans, who don't understand that Shadow Chroncles PWNS Frontier (which I wouldn't watch on a dare). And now you'll have to excuse me; I've got to throw my Animeigo Macross into the fireplace and go out and buy some REAL Robotech DVDs.

I agree completely. His interest in Sivil seemed to have more to do with her alien-ness than her womanliness... Plus, for a good chunk of the the show, she was a captive audience, and what performer wouldn't want that?

EDIT: Nevermind. Misunderstood the question.

Are there any left...? As for the core being habitable...if Gregory Benford is to be trusted, there's quite a bit of activity there...it would be quite difficult to navigate, and the chances of finding a planet that isn't constantly colliding into other planets would be remote at best...

They're the old men of Seele.

Probably yes...that somehow, blaring guns are masculine, but singing at a threatening enemy is not. I think also the fact that Basara had Rex falling all over him but he just feel alseep didn't help...nor did the fact that she stayed at his place all night and nothing happened. Hikaru can be forgiven...he was a nervous and inexperienced teenager...but Basara's a 21-year-old rock singer! Where are the groupies, the trashed hotel rooms, the heroin? That, and Agent One flexing his pecs in EVERY...SINGLE...M7 thread really kind of helped the message sink in. (Sometimes I miss his bluster, but I can't deny that it's A LOT easier to discuss M7 without him around.) And a lot of the old timers here at Macrossworld either currently serve or have served in the military, so Basara's anti-military stance might raise a few hackles. (Although politics is a forbidden topic here, attitudes on pacifism tend to come to the surface in almost any M7 thread, just as attitudes on environmentalism come out in almost any M0 thread.) So yeah...Basara isn't typically masculine, but then...none of the Macross heroes are (except Focker). Basara's just the one who refused to use missiles. And that apparently makes him weak. Which apparently makes him gay. Which apparently makes him wear assless chaps.

I just checked my O.E.D., and damned if you're not right! Jeez, that's confusing...

I'm getting the magazine, but I don't have a scanner. Still, a lot of people are excited about this, so my instinct tells me that getting scans will be the least of our problems. MY biggest problem is that my kanji is shockingly bad, and while I have a huge kanji disctionary which could undoubtedly be used to stun a burgler, looking stuff up takes forever, especially if there's a lot of technical talk. The character/plot/music info would be much more up my alley. It took me about a week to do the Nyan Fro liner notes, so given two weeks for each issue of Chronicle, I could probably handle about 5~7 pages. More, if I really pushed myself, but I've got a lot of other Macross projects I'm trying to get through at the same time, which I don't want to abandon. I guess it depends on how many people say yea.

Crap, there I go again, thinking I'm the most important person here... Agreed...but I try to read the board pretty thoroughly...so it's a given that I'll come across people repeating points that have already been made (and often, shot down...Ranka is Anima Spiritia, anyone?). But it's hard not to become a little irritated when someone starts a new topic saying something like, "I think Galaxy is the real enemy! What do you guys think?" when we've been hashing it out in the episode discussion threads for months now. Still...occupational hazard of frequenting a message board, I guess. Makes me glad I'm not a mod. I think the locked Macross F threads will soon outnumber the open ones! ...which of course is why the mecha-heads hate it. I like Basara, but I never thought he was as cool as I'm evidently MEANT to think he is...nowhere did I feel that more strongly than in the D7 ED, where my main thought was, "Man, if I really, really liked Basara, this would be the greatest thing ever!" I agree about your ensemble cast point, but still...I kind of wish the M7 cast had been bigger...there was definitely enough room to give us more background on Akiko, Kinryu, Docker, Phsyica, the Bridge Bunnies...even Ray and Veffidas should've taken the spotlight more often than they did. And there could've been a few more minor characters introduced and fleshed out. I don't think there is, but there soon will be! I recently ordered Mylene Beat from Amazon.co.jp, and it should be arriving in next few weeks...now I just need to get my hands on a scanner... I'd also like to scan M7 TRASH (I have all the volumes, although I don't really want to cut them up, so I'm not sure what to do) and do a better translation of them. Japanese -> Chinese -> English really isn't the best way to do things, and the fact that the guy who translated it before didn't seem to know anything about Macross didn't help much.

I've never gotten a subscription...but I've always had good luck with Gundam Ace, which, like you, I've gotten since the beginning. I've occasionally missed an issue, but always received it through special order with them (I haven'tt been so lucky with the Gag Specials or Zeta Gundam Ace, though). Since I'll be moving to Japan in the next few months, I don't particularly want to get a subscirption, but they're good about holding magazines. By the way...maybe this should go in the fansubs section, but I'm wondering...does anyone want to get a Macrossworld fansub group together to do the Chronicle?

That's creepy...

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Bilrer = Isaac from Escaflowne...i.e., the old guy whose job it is to watch the plot unfold on a monitor while his eyes grow big and he says, "OHHHH..." in a gravelly voice...?

I know...it was kind of a joke. I was just surprised to come across the word "Vajra" in Journey to the West. If I'd read it a year ago, I wouldn't have thought twice about it...

Misa HAYES...? Y'know, I'm beginning to disbelieve your claim that you've never seen Robotech...

[English and Grammar Nazi Mode]That's semi-monthly.[/English and Grammar Nazi Mode] I think I'd rather it was bi-monthly...but then, I also wish Gundam Ace hadn't gone monthly. Driving to L.A. Kinokuniya is kind of a hassle...

Straight answer:
