  1. Big whoop. Shinji Aramaki has Bubble Gum Crisis, Megazone 23, the Appleseed movies, Madox-01, Gasaraki, and part of Halo Legends. Both have done work on OVA's for Gundam, and both worked on the toys that eventually became Transformers. Aramaki even did the mechanical designs for M.A.S.K.!
  2. I'm willing to argue Arimaki is more accomplished than Kawamori. For the most part Kawamori is known for transforming planes, outside of that there's only a few examples of attempts at designing super robots and 0083. Arimaki's designs run the gambit from transforming planes, super robots, tanks, power armor, guns, ships, bikes, and pretty much anyrhing mechanical. His designs are iconic and pretty much everywhere.
  3. The problem with bring Maul back is it makes Qui Gon dying look incredibly stupid by comparrison. Think about it. Maul gets cut in half, falls down the shaft of a powerplant, smacks off the sides as he goes and survives. Qui Gon gets stabbed once in the gut and dies. Seriously rapper 50 cent has taken worse damage and he ain't dead...yet(as of this typing)
  4. I get occasional e-mails from jlist.com that talk about current shows in Japan. Apparently the "bodacious" of Bodacious Space Pirates refers to the original novel the show is based on. The original novel involved beautiful women in zero G spaceships wearing miniskirts.
  5. Actually I'm not banned on rt.com, and I hardly ever post in this thread, and most of the time I avoid it. I've also been on this site for years going back to the lebhead days. As for the rule this should be the only thread it doesn't apply to, mostly because the title itself calls for a debate. Not that's its much more than a one sided robotech sucks fest as it is now.
  6. I kinda want to see Qwaser. Everything I've heard tells me its possibly the most shamless, offensive, non hentai perverted thing to come out of japan in a long time. As for Moretsu Pirates you had my interest when you mentions Tylor and Tytania. I deeply enjoyed both series. Everything I've heard leads me to believe this will be a classic.
  7. http://www.robotech.com/community/forum/read.php?id=2135846&forumid=17 Me getting reamed by the guy that runs starblazers.com about my opinion that Nishzaki has done more damage to the Yamato franchise than good. He directed me to some articles he wrote for the site, but there really isn't much that contradicts what I said. Let's face it, does anyone believe this remake would actually be made if Nishizaki was still alive?
  8. Hence why I have no intention of buying this game.
  9. I rewatched AIKa R-16 over the weekend, and am now pretty sure Najica Blitz Tactics, the AIKa series, and Stratos 4 all take place in the same universe. Karin in R-16 is either Karen from Stratos 4, or a clone of her. Eri comments on people being infected by the alien organism from the meteorite in Stratos 4 and how their aging stops, but their intelligence grows. Also I think the submerged airport from the last episode might be the one where the meteor sweepers were based. Also the teacher Risako might work for CRNI the same mercenary spy company Najica worked for. That's only speculation by me on the fact she is a spy, and the helicopter she uses has the exact same markings and color as Najica's Hind chopper. Both Aika and Najica series had a great disaster in the past that caused massive flooding and submerged a great deal of land. Wether this was caused by Lagu energy like Hargen claims or by the great meteor storm hinted at the end of Stratos 4 I don't know. I've yet to see both AIKa Zero and the Stratos 4 advance series so there might be more links. All the series are made by Studio Fantasia.
  10. Yeah but feature might not be what they are going for. I get the feeling in my gut it will play out in a similar way to the original LLA, and be a collection of musice videos. Some of which are new animation, and others that are clips from the remastered series or SC.
  11. I have. Its pretty much a clip show that starts with Belmont riding his bike through what I'm guessing is either an old battlefield, or south Detroit. Flashback then off to him preparing for a concert. This is why I said I was just hopefull for a 45 min bridging ova. Otherwhise its rehashed flashback/clip show crap.
  12. No. Not all authors do it. The reason is it takes you out of the immersion into the universe you're reading about. Slogging through 3 chapters of parody filler that has 0% bearing on the plot is a mark of bad writing. Homages work in visual media because its usually very quick and over in tthe blink of an eye like the Orguss valkyrie in Macross, or the beer can missile in DYRL. It really doesn't remove you from the immersion. Now imagine if in the Macross tv series we randomly jump away from the SDF-1 to an ARMD crewed by star trek characters arguing with each other for a quarter of an episode. That is what those chapters are.
  13. Honestly? Yes. Even I was like "what the hell?" When it was first announced. My reaction lead to a temporary(reasonably justified) ban on rt.com. Truth is all I'm hoping for now is a 45 min musical ova that bridges some of Southern Cross with new generation.
  14. There's also the fact that three chapters of The End Of The Circle are a Star Trek parody with a. Kabaran named Captian Kyyrrk.
  15. Then how did that yellow beetle end up in the first movie as the insulting to original fans joke that camaro bumblebee smacks around?
  16. The problem I have is you are 1.A lurker that apparently decided to pick me of people to use you first post to vent on. Which I consinder unlikely 2.You've been banned from here and want to start posting again. Could be possible. 3.You created a new screen name as a proxy so you can say what you want without fear of it getting back to your regular name. I'd say very likely.
  17. I'd say the Space Travellers anime could give SC a run for its money for most generic pilot episode.
  18. Nice. Cobra__ joins today only makes two posts, tells me I'm wrong over my opinion and whines about HG.
  19. Your words would carry more weight if you didn't already make your feelings clear for a while now on robotech. You don't like robotech, I'm cool with that. Its not my place to tell you what you should and shouldn't like. SC was never about gaining new fans, it was about rekindling interest in the fans that grew up watching the show and setting up a springboard with a new enemy and characters that would allow new fans to pick it up with the sequel. They really fumbled the football with this live action/LLA/waiting 5+ years fiasco. My personal feelings on SC are that I liked it. It wasn't perfect or some world beating classic, but it was still a nice entertaining little romp. The only things I didn't like were eliminating most of the NG characters except Scott when a simple cameo of them standing in the background would had been enough, making the Regis more understanding and sympathetic when she was a complete b**** in the series, and obviously the what happened to Rick thing. Speaking of Rick his look doesn't bother me as much as it does other people. Basically because aging is a tricky thing in anime, I've seen several different characters that in various prequels/sequels that take place at various points in their lives and not look that much alike.
  20. The live action movie was a stupid idea and was something I never wanted either. It damn near killed any momentum SC got for robotech.
  21. I was playing around with mahq to kill some time when I came across it. Couldn't really decide where to ask untill I saw the talk about the Legioss and figured you guys would know more than I do. Thanks.
  22. Since, you guys are talking about the Legioss and out of sheer curiousity, is there a reason why it and the VF-5000 from Macross 7 look alike in fighter mode? Do they both share a real world fighter they're based on?
  23. If memory serves me that is a quicktime kill move that only occcurs when the enmy is at a certain health level. A on screen button push prompt comes up to do it.
