badboy00z Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I think it's cause of the way it transforms.. the body folds in on itself several times, and the final configuration is all mounted at angles. In that sense, it really looks like the SV-51. It does look a lot like the SV-51. The way the VF-25 transforms is more like the YF-19 IMO. The nose on both makes the front of the chest and the cockpit on both is vertical with the canopy facing the back of the battroid.

Chronocidal Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 You know, the more I look at it, that SMS insignia really looks like a corporate logo.. How many countries/governments do you know that have letters in their national insignia, or much less, stylized letters like that?

MacrossCN Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 NICE! The logo now reads as "flontier"! Flontier??? I don't think so...
the white drew carey Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 I sure do hope they try to go for better visual continuity if they decide to hand-draw certain scenes with the VFs. One thing I absolutely HATED about M0 was when it transitioned from highly detailed CGI to kind of messy hand-drawn cels for the mecha. Not so tight.

Kelsain Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Flontier??? I don't think so... The funny thing is, if they'd just move the "Macross" to the left a little, they could have done away with the little f and everything would look fine.

One thing I absolutely HATED about M0 was when it transitioned from highly detailed CGI to kind of messy hand-drawn cels for the mecha. Not so tight. I couldn't agree more. If they are going to use photorealistic CGI for all the vehicles in the show, they have to remain consistent. Suddenly moving to cell drawn is incredibly jarring and is one of the things I too disliked about Macross Zero. It has to remain consistent; all CG or all hand drawn drawn vehicles, no 95:5 ratios.

I'm sure they'll try.
Duke Togo Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Let's not forget that half of the episodes of SDF Macross contained some of the worst animation and art I've ever seen. If the story is good I suspect we'll all forgive the ratio of CGI to cell.
CrusherJ Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 In the lower left hand corner of the Macross F website the year A.D. 2059 is listed. Does that mean the series is taking place in 2059 instead of 207X? Sorry if this has been cleared up already; I thought it was 207X, but the year listed on the site has me confused.
Mr March Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 You're both quite right. If the story is strong, such minor failings will become mute, onyl showing up years after we've finished slobbering over how great it was. But I can still wish for 100% CG

openget Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 Hah, the second i saw that pic of the VF-25's head i thought Tekkaman Blade
Valkyrie addict Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 aaaaaaaaaarrrrggg!! cut that damn kid hair!! I mean, how the hell is he supposed to put his helmet on?? will he curl it up liek girls do?? HOW F*CKING GAY! C'MON!!!!!!! give me crappy animation as long as they get that kid to cut his hair
chrono Posted December 10, 2007 Posted December 10, 2007 If the story is good I suspect we'll all forgive the ratio of CGI to cell. If I was a girl I'd have probably wet myself laughing so hard! Seriously when was the last time there was a good story that revolved around a school or near it? *not counting Genshiken* Macross, any more, is for mecha fans who love planes.

But somehow the "mecha fans who love planes" were mostly disappointed with Macross Zero. One could argue that it was the only thing Zero had going for it.
Mr March Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 It had tits. When all else fails, you have to look on the bright side

s001 Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Both pages together. Unfortunately, the scanner is not quite big enough to fit both pages, so some of the text from the edge of page 33 is missing. Graham Well, I have to admit that this last pic is changing my mind about the VF-25 and the new series. The head of the battroid looks very aggressive and advanced, but I'm still unsure about the 'hentai-like' characters. By the way, is that valk supposed to be the s-type or something?

Macross return to SP!! p.s. I think... SP=Special=特別番組 =============================================== Couple of requests: - 1) Am I missing any info from my Frontier page, such as character or staff info, magazine translations etc? Please let me know. 2) Could Zinjo or Polidread please work on an updated logo with the new red F. Thanks, Graham Animage Jan. Issue, Translation by Sketchley San Quickie glance translation (not up to my usual translation levels. Bound to be inconsistencies and inaccuracies): Do you remember love? From the 1st series, to receiving the 25th anniversary "Macross". As for that anniversary special, at the core is the TV telecast of the 1st Macross, SDF:M, and the 2nd Macross series, 94's Macross 7; movies and OVAs, altogether 6 productions. Yet, a double song princess, campus story, a private military force, not in Macross until now, the newest Macross, Macross F's 1st episode special will be broadcast. In it flurishes a crossover of a lot of space, mecha, and music, and the SF anime is drawing near! 民間軍事部隊 (private military force) - that explains the lack of the UN Spacy kite. It is most likely what the SMS is. Nope, no idea what the name means from the article. EDIT: I think we really have to take the Macross games' into consideration now. I believe that Kresphy's assertations about the state of the UN Spacy post VF-X2 are starting to ring true, and M3 also had some biomechanical (or entirely biological?) opponents that the heroes faced in combat. Sounds similar to what we've seen in Macross F, eh. SDF:M: bioengineered race bred for war DYRL: bioengineered race given pseudo-biological ships to reside in Macross 7: ultimate in bioengineered war entities (the protodevlin) Macross 0: biomechanical entity piloted by human/protoculture Macross 25: completely biological mecha?!?! =============================================== And Character info from NT Jan. Issue Q: What about the Pilot and Idol love stage? A: School life in battle. A lovely Love Romance!---by Yasuhito Kikuchi Saotome Alto: A boy of Frontier School. He has top-class fly technology of "EX Gear"(EXギア) in Club. Ranka Lee: A high school student who works part-time at a Chinese restaurant "YanYan"(娘々). She meet Alto on the way to Live. Sheryl Nome: Macross Galaxy Super Idol, she is called "Fairy of Galaxy"(銀河の妖精), And go to Frontier for the Live. VF-25: VF-25 is U.N. next main Valk, base on VF-24. In space, there is Additional Fight Equipment for VF-25. Edited December 11, 2007 by kresphy
s001 Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 Hey seems like the military chick and the singer chick are twins... am I wrong?
Chronocidal Posted December 11, 2007 Posted December 11, 2007 I really doubt they're twins, the two character sketches in that last page don't even look alike, proportion-wise or even age-wise. They may be related, but I think there's a definite Misa/Minmay parellel with the two of them (speaking of Minmay though, didn't she wear almost identical clothes at one point or another? they look really familiar, just different colors). Whether or not they're two sides of a triangle is up for grabs, but they've got the military/singer situation covered. I'm wondering about the other characters there, they sure seem to be introducing a lot of them early on. I'm guessing the guy in the chef's hat works at the restaurant, and the one on the bottom right is probably another student.. but no idea about the one in the middle. I'd almost guess a mechanic or pilot, based on the clothing
