sketchley Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) I had no idea what you were alluding to, really. The statement "the SMS's Macross 25 [Quarter] Battleship Steering Person." is not exactly clear, other than the character in question is at the helm of... something. So, said character is at the helm of Macross 25's Battle section, which is under SMS control. It's not alluding to anything. It's a translation, attempting to approximate the original text as best as can be in English. Therefore, the people making allusions are the writers - either of the website, or the PR department authorizing the information. FYI, the character is not specifically stated to be at the helm of anything. He could be the guy up in the rear hold of the ship, who presses the manuevering thruster button whenever ordered to. We just don't know. Edited December 23, 2007 by sketchley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radd Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 I hope this series ups the chances of us seeing a New Macross class ship in toy form sometime. I know it's not universally popular among Macross fans, but I rather like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr March Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 Purty new pictures. Thanks Graham. I agree the top view of the fighter is just displaying the beginning of the transformation sequence, not the final fighter mode form. Both previous fighter mode pictures (forward view pictures and the rear view pictures) show the rear fuselage as completely closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr March Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) I love the VF-171. They look so space fighter-ish The bottom right pictures in that 2ch pic look great. The forward fuselage of the VF-171 at that angle reminds me so much of the VF-1 Edited December 23, 2007 by Mr March Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSP Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 WOW the recon VF-171 looks great. Thanks for the picture yellowlightman. I'm glad that I snatched a VF-17 kit few days ago at Evil Bay. *Bwahahaha* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGemini Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 WOW I really hope they can keep the quality of this episode for the rest of the series! It looks like an OAV Graham was right, the "ghostly image" was actualy the fold. I haven't finished watching it but it has references to MOST previous series!

eugimon Posted December 23, 2007 Share Posted December 23, 2007 (edited) No. It's called making sure that you are conveying accurate information and covering all of your bases; and is something that one learns to do in university. This is the original post: I think it's pretty safe to assume that since it's a Japanese show, and most civilized nations are abhorred by the idea of private armies, that it won't actually end up being private defense contractors. "most civilized nations..." "abhorred" Sorry (removed for offensive content by 'eugimon'), these are loaded words and you know it. And learning not to assume is also something you learn in university, but maybe you missed that class so you could take some extension classes on "how to use your knowledge to be a (removed for offensive content by 'eugimon'), on the internet 101".

Morpheus Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Just saw it, awesome. Somehow it got the original Macross series vibes on it which is a good thing. The CG is good, I love those Maizurus, Uraga and the Algenicus look alike Can't wait for the next episode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just love how they managed to reference every previous series without being overt about it. Also, the 2D/3D integration is seamless. Even simple things like the seatback screens in the starliner turning on looked beautiful. From the scene with VF-171's launching, to the last frame I was on the edge of my seat.

crasis Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 OH! MY! GOD! I...I don't even know what to say. That was EVERYTHING I love about Macross, only kicked up to the next level. The animation and soundtrack were movie quality. If the entire series is as consistent as that episode, I may have a new favorite anime of all time! That seriously just made my entire holiday.
