Astro Plan

[Mr March]

After watching one episode I can honestly say Astro Plan has redefined entertainment. This show has successfully sunk the bottom of the barrel to such fetid depths one might find truffles or the Detroit Lions.

Damn you, Gubaba! Damn you to hell, you treacherous spawn of Hades!

As I've said, they've rolled in the past 5 years of popular anime, and then some, into 1 series. You want transforming planes? Its got it. You want wicked finishing moves? Its got that, too. You want aliens? Yeh, its got that. Hell, it's even got the "Red Comet" and a masked character.

Don't you mean "sucksessfully" I hope that "one" episode you watched, was the epic season finale.

[Dio]

Any word on when that gorgeous red VF-22 is getting a toy?

[Mr March]

soooo... .when is it getting an entry into M3?

I wouldn't dare...or shouldn't I? Hell, with this series, they've put even my best efforts at humor to shame

Ain't I a stinker?

I'm going to get you for this

Who would've suspected the Chinese had this road apple brewing in their bowels. You gotta give them points for being so brazen about it all.

You're so right. It's pilfered without shame virtually every mecha anime of which I have even a passing knowledge. I can see Macross Frontier immediately and Gundam 00 is also splashed up front. It's so apologetically daring with it's theft, you can't help but feel like you've been slapped in the face.

Don't you mean "sucksessfully" I hope that "one" episode you watched, was the epic season finale.

touche. Yeah it was the finale and I'm still shellshocked from it. I don't know what to call it, but the shear awfulness of it, the audacious scope of the theft, the dumbfounding impact of it all... it might just be art

[Valkyrie Hunter D]

For anyone else curious enough to buy these bulky-lees, KOTOYS now offers them for sale.

[areaseven]

Any updates on the toys? Has anyone ordered theirs from KOTOYS yet?

BTW, KOTOYS separated the Valkyrie knockoffs from the regular toys. If you still want them (perhaps for kitbashing purposes), here's the link:

This weekend, I decided to bite the bullet and order a King Size YF-10 Jin Gang Custom figure from KOTOYS.com for US$39.00. Will post a full report on it once it arrives on my doorstep in 2 weeks.

Looking forward to your review. They do look decent, hope they turn out good.

I'm actually betting that the toy is as solid as the old Chunky Monkey, and I already know it's much better than Toynami's MPC Veritech (which is a floppy mess) in build quality.

[Moly_Sigang]

Has the producer of Astro Plan gonna actually make a season 2 of the series? Any news about that?

[Kelsain]

Wow, that's kinda funny that the ultimate KO show of Macross officially includes KO Vf-1's.

[Ghost Train]

Whenever I read this thread, I become incredibly ashamed of my 75% Chinese heritage.... Peter Chao should make a video about this lolz.

[areaseven]

I was doing some research on this series and found this video. It turns out that HyperWiz, the toy company making the KO Valks, started out as a Transformers KO series.

dormcat of Anime News Network was nice enough to translate the lyrics to this AMV:

Animation in the Heavenly Regime is in turmoil
An "Astro Plan" has been released recently
Nothing more than exceeding SEED mode and shooting some planes
We could save the world from its crisis

Shoji Kawamori couldn't stop crying, "How come they all look like my designs?"
Character designs are damn alien-like
Brave young men of Sky Arrow Squadron make miracles

Protect Earth's high tech with martial arts in Wuxia novels
Kira Yamato means nothing to me
"Flying Dragon" cuts like hot knife through butter
Jin Yong, please give me divine powers

My name is now "Space Adventures", given by my big bro
To show our dedication to Gundam and Macross
We never give a damn about copyrights
Plagiarism? It's just a doujinshi

[Repeat from start]

In truth, you just don't have to be so picky
Producers are trying hard
If we don't do this, we'd have no rice to eat
In the meantime, we sell toys while we wait and see
One day we will be dependable ourselves Edited February 8, 2014 by areaseven

Posted for Truth!

NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU WANT IT TO BE TRUE, THIS poo WILL NEVER BE THE NEXT ROBOTECH!

Astro Plan has way more originality, artistic integrity, and better animation than robotech will ever have.

[areaseven]

Yesterday, I went to the RT fan page on Facebook and posted the above AP pics to see if there would be a reaction from the fans. And so far, nothing's happened (aside from one fanboy trying to tag himself on one of the pics). It seems that the RT fans don't care if such a title as AP is branded as RT.

[areaseven]

Just how big are the King Size Type Yi fighters? KOTOYS took pics of them alongside Transformers Animated Voyager Class Starscream (Takara Tomy version, in case you're wondering about the metallic blue).

[Ghost Train]

plz don't put robotech and astro plan in the same sentence.... Chinez ppl have feelings too ; ; .....

LOL. Check out the AP discussions on RT.com: :lol:

Oh, Ozma...will you never learn?

[Funkenstein]

Obviously the Alphas are superior to the VF-1 because they showed up later in Astro Plan : Shadow Chronicles.

And let's not forget Astro Plan II: The Sentinels.

[Ghost Train]

I'm surprised RT.com allows members to have a name SMS Ozma Lee , but then I realized HG has sole distribution rights to vehicles with a Yellow+Black strip pattern and any rear end that sits, manipulates, and pilots said vehicles.

And Part 3 ? ....

WTF did i see right??? Was there a Wing Custom 0 VF-25??? I remember reading in the book " Toy Wars" over the many legal battles over copy rights between Matel and Hasbro. To the point Breast size was measured and presented as evidence over the Cindy and Barbi dolls.Why haven't the producers been sued!

[Funkenstein]

Relak says "Smaller, faster, more payload etc. If it werent superior, why would the REF decomission the VF-1s in favor of the alphas??"

I want to ask, payload of what? Though no one should tell him that the Alpha is only there because Harmony Gold didnt buy the distribution rights to Macross DYRL.

I can't believe there are people who actually want this show to be incorporated into Robotech. I saw 2 episodes of it on youtube and although I have no idea what they were saying I got the general idea from what was happening. And most of all the animation on this thing was horrid.

If someone told me they wanted to incorporate something of this quality into a show I grew up watching as a kid I would be disgusted and would hope it never happened. I'd rather have nothing new and live in the past then have astro plan. I swear that animation was made in flash.

Little kids won't care since its animated and they will enjoy it no matter what, but its brutal trying to watch this show as an adult.

I believe you answered your own question

Oh... the heart of the Macross fan is as dark as pitch black coal. Same can be said of the RT diehard, but theirs would contain a fair share of nitrogenous compounds so as to emit a hazardous smell as well.
