Master Dex Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Uh... I'd come up with a witty retort, but unfortunately I don't know any Antarctica jokes. Really? I was sure you'd try to work Song Energy in there somewhere.
d3v Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Really? I was sure you'd try to work Song Energy in there somewhere. Haven't seen Happy Feet yet, although I hear it involved penguins singing and producing some form of anima spiritia.
Duke Togo Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I swear we're going to be shouting "No it's from KISSDUM you morons" for weeks. No no, I don't use such harsh language.
eugimon Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) No no, I don't use such harsh language. try "mentally deficient" Edited June 25, 2008 by eugimon
stray Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Haven't seen Happy Feet yet, although I hear it involved penguins singing and producing some form of anima spiritia. Does it really?!?!?! I got it from the 5 free blu-ray deal last year but never watched it. I might have to pop in in tonight tho... Regardless... "Good-bye, sister" might just be a flashback episode chronicling the details of the 117th fleet. When Ranka goes catatonic PTSD she always mentions "niichan." And, I know 1/2 of MW would probably stop watching, but I'd be ecstatic if Ranka gets a custom VF-27 with sound boosters for "Ranka Attack" BTW, I heard somewhere, it's from KISSDUM.
Master Dex Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Haven't seen Happy Feet yet, although I hear it involved penguins singing and producing some form of anima spiritia. Very nice. You've done your duty.
Aegis! Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I don't think we'll actually see anyone getting killed yet, specially Ozma or Brera. Ozma has not yet recovered Kathy and/or developed some kind of opposition towards Leon and Brera's rivalry with Alto, as well as his own role within this whole NUNS conspiracy, hasn't been sufficiently developed yet.
Bowen Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Yeah, I definitely wanna see Ozma ripping Leon a new one
Zinjo Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 For example, Episode 15 is called "Lost Peace", which may indicate that there will be a large scale attack on Frontier by the Vajra. By the end they may have completely overrun the colony fleet. The original SDF Macross had a similar episode with Zentradis invading the SDF-1. I am of the opinion that Lost Peace will be the Galaxy fleet and Grace coming out of the shadows and either the cold war goes hot or it begins with an "incident"...
Duke Togo Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 try "mentally deficient" That's a bit more my style.
MisaForever Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 That's a bit more my style. You're mentally dificient?? THAT EXPLAINS A LOT!!! J/K
kalvasflam Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Has there been confirmation of how many episodes there will be for Mac Frontier? I wouldn't mind seeing something on the order of 40+ episodes if they can maintain the decent animation and a good storyline. One thing they should not do is rush the story. Right now, there is a nice pacing to the story, part of the reason is that there are numerous interesting characters centering around the three main characters and enough room for good character development. There are enough interesting threads that hopefully they can push up the episode counts, and give a nice and satisfying end. I always hoped that the original SDF Macross was a bit longer.
Graham Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Has there been confirmation of how many episodes there will be for Mac Frontier? No official confirmation yet. My sources have said 26 eps. Some people here say 25 eps. Either 25 or 26 eps ties in with the officially released disk count of 9 DVDs/BluRay disks. If you want more eps, you need to hope we get a second series. Graham
azrael Posted June 25, 2008 Author Posted June 25, 2008 Has there been confirmation of how many episodes there will be for Mac Frontier? Right now, the count looks to be around 24-25 episodes (basically 1/2 a year) but we still don't have a clear number yet. Chances of an extension are somewhat slim since TV lineups for Fall/Autumn are fairly close to being set in stone. The hope would be for a 2nd season, but right now, we really don't know as Volume 1 of the DVD/Blu-Ray (a good sales indicator) hasn't even been released yet (street date 7/25/2008).
Shun Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 I am of the opinion that Lost Peace will be the Galaxy fleet and Grace coming out of the shadows and either the cold war goes hot or it begins with an "incident"... very very rough and possibly full of mistakes Ep 15 Lost Peace Until Sheryl recovers from her illness, all her work are cancelled. Heard that Ranka's popularity is rising, and somehow feels insecure/worried. At such a time, Alto and Ranka gives her a get-well visit. so could the "Lost Peace" be a show down between the girls? Both for fame and alto? BTW, @Kronnang Dunn, i think u're editing the wiki Frontier episode lists? regarding Mother's Lullaby, i'm not sure if its really a secret with Aimo song, but rather the Aimo song is a mother's lullaby and its something to do with Ranka's memories (and the truth behind the memories - if that made any sense). you might be right though... the summary is quite vague...

Kronnang Dunn Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) WTF is KISSDUM and why do I care? KISS DUM is an anime Sci-Fi series from 2007.

Yeah... I actually meant that with my summary, "Aimo" holds the secret of Ranka's past ... Thx for the summary for episode 15. Will update wikipedia with it... Edited June 26, 2008 by Kronnang Dunn

Valkyrie addict Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 what if, Ranka starts to get closer to Brera in the coming episodes, at the same time, Ozma and Cathy get back together and Leon finds out, the Vajra attack and Leon takes the opportunity and orders Brena to single out and destroy Skull 1, he kills Ozma and Alto swears revenge, he then finds out Brera is the VF-27 pilot and starts a massive showdown and when Alto is about to kill Brera somehow Agent G tells Alto he's Ranka real brother and he goes through a moral dilemma if he should cause more suffering to Ranka... hmmm... by the way, those rating sucks...c'mon!, how could Code Geass be so far up, that show is getting horribly repetitive and predictible
sketchley Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 by the way, those rating sucks...c'mon!, how could Code Geass be so far up, that show is getting horribly repetitive and predictible Easy - it's on in the afternoon in Sunday, when a bunch of school age kids are at home and able to watch it. Compare to Macross F's timeslot - only those kids who have figured out how to set up the VCR/DVD-R/Bluray-R(?) to record it will be able to watch it. Most salary men are also asleep by the time it airs.
d3v Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 (edited) Ratings for last week Frontier also comes out on Thursdays right? How come ratings for that aren't accounted for? by the way, those rating sucks...c'mon!, how could Code Geass be so far up, that show is getting horribly repetitive and predictible Because apparently a yaoi-bait sis-con Char-wannabe is more popular than a trap-hime who's into ersatz-yuri. Plus I hear that the last arc of CG had more than its fair amount of loli and fanservice. Edited June 26, 2008 by d3v
azrael Posted June 26, 2008 Author Posted June 26, 2008 Frontier also comes out on Thursdays right? How come ratings for that aren't accounted for? The Kanto region's population as I understand, is denser than the Kansai region. Basically the Kanto region population is about double that of the Kansai area being closer to Tokyo. You may wish to ask the people living there though.
sketchley Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Opposite. The Kansai region (specifically Osaka Prefecture) has the highest population density of all of Japan. Though you are correct in that the Kanto region has a larger total population, with the greater Tokyo area (including Chiba Prefecture, Saitama, Kanagawa, etc..) having the highest total population.

d3v Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 News updates: Michael is Zolan? Someone wanna get the novel and confirm that? Well that solves his problem with Klan seeing as he can safely be macronized. Only problem now is genetic compatibility, just like Zomeo and Zoliet (the radio drama playing all the time in Dynamite 7).

It's all teed up for you. Now hit a homer.

I saw some snippets of the novel on AS, but shouldn't his ears be like 6" further out on each side if he's Zolan?

And if "Zomeo and Zoliet" is correct, he definitely couldn't be HALF-Zolan. Yeah...I'm not buying it.
wolfx Posted June 27, 2008 Posted June 27, 2008 Well that solves his problem with Klan seeing as he can safely be macronized. Humans can be macronised too as shown by Max in DYRL.
