d3v Posted June 30, 2008 Posted June 30, 2008 (edited) Nah, Starliner's wings are simply what happens when Hory Froating Head-sama focuses too much on the VFs and lets the interns design a spaceplane. Edited June 30, 2008 by d3v Quote
MacrossCN Posted July 6, 2008 Author Posted July 6, 2008 EP13, 1915 S.M.S 007 is reversed again... Quote
Sumdumgai Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 I couldn't get a screenshot of it, but around 18:51 in episode 14, on the second missile volley that Alto fires, in the upper left corner of the screen one of the missiles is an Appale Genki can from Macross Zero. It's there for an instant. I used Windows Media Player classic to go frame by frame, but I forgot how to take screenshots (I'm using the CCC supplied WMPC, which I believe has screenshots disabled).

Xeros Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 now I can't take the SS myself check the image, to the proper settings of Media player classic to take SS Quote
Sumdumgai Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Thanks xeros, but I still couldn't get it to work. Argh! Quote
Master Dex Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 It is not exactly a beer can, but we got the homage anyway. Quote
Major Focker Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 yay! finally. i'm going to dig through that episode if there are any more. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Thanks for getting the screenshot xeros! I still want an Appale Genki VF-0 toy (without crumbly shoulders or elbows)... Quote
taksraven Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 A challenge to MF members, free Yoshinol to those who can capture a beer can missiles in MF. There has been one? Or do you want us chasing our tails?? Taksraven Quote
Gubaba Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 good catch Now it's official. Macross Frontier is the most awesome sequel ever in the history of Protoculture-derived civilizations. Quote
taksraven Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Robotech Fairy... Robotech Fairy = Karl Macek + pink wings? Taksraven Quote
Gubaba Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Robotech Fairy = Karl Macek + pink wings? Taksraven Well...it WAS Carl Macek, but he eventually quit. Now it's some guy whose name is Yun or Yune or Yunee. Quote
taksraven Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 Well...it WAS Carl Macek, but he eventually quit. Now it's some guy whose name is Yun or Yune or Yunee. C'mon, I'm sure that he will always be the Robotech Fairy to most people! Taksraven Quote
Gubaba Posted July 12, 2008 Posted July 12, 2008 C'mon, I'm sure that he will always be the Robotech Fairy to most people! Taksraven WAAAY off topic here, but as much as I dislike Robotech, I try to cut Carl Macek some slack. He is, after all, a big Macross fan, and we wouldn't have had it in the U.S. if it weren't for him. I wish he'd gone about it in a different way, but slipping and sliding through broadcast regulations and copyright issues isn't easy. Streamline wasn't a great company, but they at least gave a half-assed stab at releasing the original components of Robotech with subs. Much later, I thought he did a good job with Dunbine. And all of the things I really hate Harmony Gold for were none of Macek's doing. He's no Great Mastermind or Godfather of Anime in the U.S. or anything, but he worked hard on behalf of anime at a time when few were receptive, and helped open the floodgates, so for that, at least, I think he deserves some credit. Sandy Frank, on the other hand, deserves to smoke at least twenty extra turds in hell for what he did to Gatchaman. Quote
d3v Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 (edited) Did anyone notice that the chest launchers on Alto and Ozma's armoured packs opened differently, Ozma's opened inwards so to speak like the old GBP-1 while Alto's opened outward. Edited July 13, 2008 by d3v Quote
sketchley Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Different armour packs? (Ozuma's vs. Aruto's?) Or (and I think it is this one) the animators changed it to keep the hatches from blocking our view of the missiles. Quote
Master Dex Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Different armour packs? (Ozuma's vs. Aruto's?) Or (and I think it is this one) the animators changed it to keep the hatches from blocking our view of the missiles. That second one is most likely it, we want different angles of missile firings so the hatches need to alternate somehow. That can only be anime magic though unless we really want to presume they designed them different for whatever reason. You could say I guess that Ozma's is an older pack and Alto's was made more recently but we don't know that. Gilliam could have used that armor pack before but it seems clearance is rarely granted for more than one pilot to use those packs. Quote

Gilliam could have used that armor pack before but it seems clearance is rarely granted for more than one pilot to use those packs. I think it'd be more that Alto's still the newest recruit and his track record with armor packs and suits in general isn't the best. The heavy pack is probably the most expensive out of the available lists. Quote
d3v Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 It's stated in episode 1, Squad leaders get the armoured packs. Quote
CF18 Posted July 14, 2008 Posted July 14, 2008 Oh I think the door can be opened either way, giving optimal flight path for the missile depends on where the targets are. They better replicate it in the toy! :lol: It can also be that the toy maker ask the animators to change it to make their toy design easier... Quote

That second statement sounds highly plausible to me actually. Quote
mike_s_6 Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) I'm not sure if anyone has pointed this out, but I just remembered that I saw some sort of bug... In the first episode, (I don't know what you call those guys who direct the planes... in one scene, there's one of them down there, but in the back view, he's gone): Edited August 1, 2008 by mike_s_6 Quote
DarkReaper Posted July 18, 2008 Posted July 18, 2008 (edited) In Ep 15 with Ozmas Lancia overhead shot, you can see the back end of the car slowly moving away. I guess they somehow forget to group the part with the car when they did the animations. Edited July 18, 2008 by DarkReaper Quote
ComicKaze Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 I always thought the Japanese R and L mixup was exaggerated but COME ON!!! Quote

I guess they somehow forget to group the part with the car when they did the animations. Despite that I'm still at odds on which is more bad-ass: Ozma's VF-25S or his car? Quote
daeudi Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 Dunno about you, but this one shot seems to be yaoi fangirl bait to me. Wait... I guess that makes it loliyaoi. <<Actually, it took me 3 episodes to be sure of Luca's gender.>> :"> Quote
sketchley Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 I don't think this counts as an animation error. Language, yes. But there are other threads for that. Food for thought: maybe they were trying to say "diary"? I always thought the Japanese R and L mixup was exaggerated but COME ON!!! Quote
veffidas Posted July 19, 2008 Posted July 19, 2008 I don't think this counts as an animation error. Language, yes. But there are other threads for that. Food for thought: maybe they were trying to say "diary"? Though I thought it read "diary" upon initial viewing, it does make more sense for it to be "daily" as ComicKaze pointed out. (I believe I also mentally transposed the L and F in "Life" to make it "Diary File" as well, making it work out in the end.) After all, the image seems to be real-time in terms of the episode as its showing Ranka on her way to greet Sheryl with Alto. Quote
