Knight26 Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 My comments after seeing the promo: The VF-25 is an interesting design, my one gripe, that wierd green energy beam that comes to life during transformation, what is that all about? Also I think that the VF-25 may in fact not be the new mainline fighter, I think it may in fact be an advanced trainer, i.e. the trainees have moved up from the VT-1/11 or whatever and now are soloing in the VF-25. The story might then involve the VF-25s having to be moved to frontline duty due to losses incurred. The VF-17/171: I see this as a later model VF-17, or possibly heavily upgraded models that are filling in as the mainline fighter on this fleet for some reason. It could be that when this fleet launched a surplus of VF-17s were available, that General Galaxy then upgraded to the modern level including some VF-22 features. There are enough changes to the design for it to be a new model based on the same frame, perhaps they are even VF-17I's hmm VF-17s that the Isrealis got hold of and upgraded the snot out of, imagine the possibilities. VF-XX: I think that there is a good possibility that another new model VF will show up, possibly even something devised aboard the fleet to counter the new bad guys. Other VFs are a definite possiblity to show up, either as museum pieces, collectors items, etc...
imode Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 I'm so excited about this new series I had to come back to MW. Finally the Macross series returns to what looks like its good ol' roots and with Yoko Kanno music to boot. The great thing about this is even if it's related the Macross 7 and it decides to go all weird with ore no uta wo kike, the music will still be great.
Keith Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 And hopefully somewhere along the course of the show, that lead will get a better haircut...
azrael Posted November 14, 2007 Author Posted November 14, 2007 And hopefully somewhere along the course of the show, that lead will get a better haircut... Nah, chicks dig the ponytail....
chrono Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 And hopefully somewhere along the course of the show, that lead will get a better haircut... I doubt it. The design is hardcore bishie, so unless they can give him an equally "Bishie" haircut I doubt that it will happen. I just hope that they don't have him falling for his instructor.... Knight26, I think that was a rip from both Gundam and TTGL, so that it has more "flash" for audience appeal & "wow" factor.
Zinjo Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Holy crap if triple digit designations are upgraded, improved versions of already proved VFs, then I'm going to start running around screaming WOOHOO at the top of my lungs if there turns out to be an upgraded VF-11. I noticed the color of the VF-171, but hadn't remembered that the VF-17 colors were different in Dynamite 7. It is an exciting prospect, even for Kawamorisan himself. The carte blanche to revisit older designs and modify them to suit his new design tastes. Hmmm, a VF-9 that becomes the VF-91 (SW-XAII Schneegans) fighter.... , a nice dream.... The mind boggles with the possibilities...
Oihan Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) Very good point, my young Zinjawan Gawd, I have that trailer song stuck in my head and it won't go away. My coworkers are looking at me funny when they pass me singing jibberish Haha, I have the same problem...song stuck in my head as well [my fav. part being from the point she starts singing to about 1:15 into the trailer. (I really love the part where we see the valkyrie launch...with the guitar being strummed!)]. Hell, I even have the trailer playing in the background as I type this at work. I don't suppose anyone would have figured out the name of the song since I first asked...? Edited November 14, 2007 by Oihan
UN Spacy Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 ANYONE know if that's the Megumi Nakajima singing in the trailer?
Mr March Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 Oihan I wish I knew. I'd like to have it on my iPod right now
Oihan Posted November 14, 2007 Posted November 14, 2007 (edited) ANYONE know if that's the Megumi Nakajima singing in the trailer? Is she Sheyrl Nome's seiyū? I'd think it'd be her singing, seeing as how we see Sheyrl's face and name at the end of the teaser...tis my logic anyway. Edited November 14, 2007 by Oihan
deadghost Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Is she Sheyrl Nome's seiyū? I'd think it'd be her singing, seeing as how we see Sheyrl's face and name at the end of the teaser...tis my logic anyway. You guys are not going to get this. I just got a tatoo of the flight school emblem on my right arm (its missing some color) al post a pic as soon as soon as I can get a hold of a camera. come on some one give me props lol man I am still bounceing off the walls since I have seen that trailer
Sumdumgai Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Damn, deadghost, you really love Macross. Cool!
deadghost Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Pics now. I don't believe you. Hahaha. Dont worry al show pics as soon as I get off of work, its funny because when people see it they look at me all weird but if a macross fan (a up to date) saw it they would know what I am talking about. lol
cyde01 Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Dont worry al show pics as soon as I get off of work, its funny because when people see it they look at me all weird but if a macross fan (a up to date) saw it they would know what I am talking about. lol lol what if that logo design was only for the trailer and got changed in the final version of the anime?
Valkyrie addict Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 could you post pics of those models that were 2 years in the making too deadghost
Keith Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 lol what if that logo design was only for the trailer and got changed in the final version of the anime? Then he'd be a super-elite Macross fan with a rare trailer only logo
kensei Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 What the heck is that red thing at 1:34 of the trailer?
GGemini Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 A couple of gifts for all of you... First, the scan of the Newtype in high resolution...
GGemini Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 ... and the other one is for those of you that cannot get the song out of your heads... Macross_F.mp3
eugimon Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 ah, nice nice. I'm releived that the hump back in fighter mode I was complaining about must have been a scan related illusion.
GGemini Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 What the heck is that red thing at 1:34 of the trailer? It reminds me of an enemy you have to fight in VF-X2... in the stage that takes place in the City, except that this one looks organic
openget Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 the 'school' (seeing as how theres a bunch of student- looking people in that pic, im guessing it is.) has a really odd design..Is it supposed to look like a ship in the Macrossverse?
mike_s_6 Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 ... and the other one is for those of you that cannot get the song out of your heads... Macross_F.mp3 Has anyone tried ear-listening for the lyrics? I can only make out the words "atashi no beating heart" (Engrish alert). Yes, I know, I don't know that much Japanese
Mr March Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Win on both counts GGemini. I love that track. I especially like the retro 70's instrumentation in parts. Such a nice homage back to the old SDF Macross soundtrack.
deadghost Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) could you post pics of those models that were 2 years in the making too deadghost ok here the pic of the tatoo (incomplete, the tatoo artist was lazy) but as for the the two kits by jason gares that I am going to ask for by next week, he is painting them as a favor for me, I dont want to be rude and rush him but al ask if he can give me some pics because of you guys Edited November 15, 2007 by deadghost
charger69 Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) Guys, If someone else mentioned it before, please forgive me. But I think that the yellow/black sign on the nose and on the main wing of the VF-25 is the new sign "SMS". Just like the SMS007 sign on the right wing. At the right picture, you can clearly see a reverse M letter and two S letters to form a triangular SMS sign. Edited November 15, 2007 by charger69
Zinjo Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) GGemini you are godlike! Not only did he scan the pic, he also cleaned up the "seam" that ran down the middle (if many have already forgotten)! SMS could stand for "Super Macross Ship"... I am really curious as to what that means? I believe the windows in the nose of the 25 are actually camera windows as the diamond shaped areas on the nose are vernier thrusters, not cameras like on the VF-19. Deadhost you win, you are the super leet macross fan! Edited November 15, 2007 by Zinjo
Dante74 Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 (the tatoo artist was lazy) ...and drunk? You are a brave man deadghost.
eugimon Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 ...and drunk? You are a brave man deadghost. did those lines look a little wonky to you too?
yellowlightman Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 (edited) That tattoo looks pretty bad dude. You should have waited until there was a better picture of it released, because going off that little poorly drawn piece in the trailer didn't work out well. Like, I'm guessing the thing in the middle is supposed to be a VF, not that you can really tell from the tattoo though... :-/ EDIT: Looking at that again, I hope to hell you drew that yourself with a ball point pen. The lines are horrible. Edited November 15, 2007 by yellowlightman
Dante74 Posted November 15, 2007 Posted November 15, 2007 Not only that, but he tattooed the whole pocket the logo is on too.
