Funkenstein Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Roboplane, the Untold Story? No, its gonna be Robotech Shadow Rising. Quote
Gubaba Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I love how the Wikipedia page tries to polish this turd... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astro_Plan "As the series features transforming fighter plane mecha, it has been commonly compared to the Macross series by anime fans. The main battleship also has a slight resemblance to the Archangel of the Mobile Suit Gundam SEED series." Ah...commonly compared to Macross, just because it has transforming planes...it doesn't have anything to do with the fact that they are RIPPED OFF from Frontier, would it? No, no, surely not. And yes, "slight resemblance"...of course. Only a fool would think they look almost the same, right? But the real kicker comes at the end, in the "See Also" section: "Space Gundam V - A Korean animated TV series that also used Macross-derived designs." "Macross-dirived"...that's such a nice way of putting it, isn't it? Quote

MacrossCN Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) I love how the Wikipedia page tries to polish this turd... to be released on January 15, 2010 --------------> to be released on January 16, 2010 Today, 18:00, let's wait this Orz Cartoon~~~ ^^ Edited January 16, 2010 by kresphy Quote
VF5SS Posted January 16, 2010 Author Posted January 16, 2010 Are you guys going to buy and customize the YF-10 and YF-11 figures just like you used to do on 1/55 bootlegs? Quote
Funkenstein Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 I might get one and customize it into a J-10 lol. Quote
Chronocidal Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 pfft, if I can get them for $10 I might be inclined to put some of my spare yammie stickers on them, and do a double rip-off. Blasphemy, I know, but ever since Yamato increased their tampoed markings, I've had nothing to use all those spare kites on. Heck, I might even paint these up in prototype markings, and turn em into designs that lost out against other actual Valks. I mean, they already look like rejected VF-25 variants. Quote
Einherjar Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 If it does get shown on TV, I hope someone puts it online for evidence posterity. Quote
MacrossCN Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 If it does get shown on TV, I hope someone puts it online for evidence posterity. Absolutely~~~ In China, everybody wait this 囧 cartoon. ^^ Quote
Protoculture Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 I'd join your wagon. The mecha designs actually look kinda good ....until they did those angel wing and lightsaber ultimate move things. A transforming mecha vs aliens ala Macross from China? Hell, I'd buy that! Quote
HappyPenguins Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 No, its gonna be Robotech Shadow Rising. needs bigger boobies first! Quote
Protoculture Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 What are you smoking? This is already 1000X more successful than anything HG has attempted. While being a clear rip-off this show looks way more watchable than Shadow Chronicles. Don't be surprise if this thing actually WILL BECOME RT: Shadow Rising, the series! HG has strong connection in China, heck, Robotech (Chinese dubbed-version) has won awards in China for an animated series (seriously)! Quoted from Wiki: In China, during the summer of 2004, it was awarded "Best Robot-themed Anime of all time" by the Cartoon Channel of China Education Television. It is highly likely that someone growing up in any of those countries during the 1980s watched at least some of its episodes (However, Robotech did not start its broadcast in China until 1991). Awww, I guess HG now will be pimping the Astro Plan as Robotech! Which is a good thing, ripping off an animated series from China that ripped of an animated series from Japan. Hell, yeah! I'll be waiting from ye, HG! Gimme the ROBOTECH: Shadow Rising, NOW!!!! :lol: :lol: Quote
Protoculture Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 No, its gonna be Robotech Shadow Rising. Obvious-fricking-ly yes! Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) needs bigger boobies first! you ALWAYS need bigger boobs. (boobs are like dakka; you need more. no exception.) Edited January 16, 2010 by anime52k8 Quote
Protoculture Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 needs bigger boobies first! Boobies notwithstanding, I believed that is thing of the past. RTSC is just to pleased (with mixed result) the existing fanbase. RTSR aka Astro Plan is just a whole lot better! The old RT geeks be darned! RT needed to rebooted with new animation adapted from an original (bootleg inspiration .... that's what RT is) just like it adapted SDFM, SDC Southern Cross & GC Mospeada. Then HG roped in Korean studio using aesthetic Mospeada elements in RTSC. Having Astro Plan as RT: Shadow Rising is just continuing the tradition! Hell, I'd say yes to that! As long as RT don't touch on Macross anymore! Quote

Hey kresphy, tell everyone in China this is going to be Shadow Rising!!!! :lol: :lol: Ripping off a rip-off. I can see that happening.... . If there was any chance that it would, I think I will really find myself ROTFLMAO. Quote
Protoculture Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 needs bigger boobies first! Sorry HP, there's actually a pair of boobies in RT: Shadow Rising .... Hail boobies! :D :D Quote
Protoculture Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Not yet though, but it'll find its way in rt.com one way or another. I might actually do that ..... maybe RTX.com first! MEMO & the gang might actually blew their top over this .... :lol: Quote
HappyPenguins Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Sorry HP, there's actually a pair of boobies in RT: Shadow Rising .... Hail boobies! ah but are they big enough? Quote
RDClip Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 lol this is my first time looking at this thread. Lets see: Stiff CGI that would fit in an old PS2 game...check Stupid cliche plot...check ripping off other peoples designs...check really boring character designs...check stiff, amateurish 2D animation...check People, this fits the bill perfectly for HG next anime acquisition. Robotech: The Other Untold Story...with Shadows Instead of ripping off Macross this company should just throw a bunch of money at John Woo and Chow Yun Fat and make an animated version of A Better Tomorrow.

MacrossCN Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Hey kresphy, tell everyone in China this is going to be Shadow Rising!!!! There is a thread with the same opinion~~~ ^^ http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=696072242 Quote
the white drew carey Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 It is that kind of indifferent attitude that allows the chines to take more than they give (I don't mean Products) giving them access to the US Animation markets to peddle their copycat wears would you use counterfeit Colgate toothpaste. Even though it may not meat the criteria for any Court sanction this movie is just to much like Macross (I Don't care if they say it is a tribute) to be considered original so unless they show some kind of agreement saying the Japanese holders of the rights to Macross are alowing who ever made this train wreck to use their work. I might be able to accept if it was just the Fighter/Robots they borrowed like when the matrix borrowed the Digital Raine from Ghost in the Shell but to borrow so many elements Fold effect, Fighters/robots, Hoard of Alien fighters, Flag of what ever organization. Given the Chines Media unwillingness/inability to criticize Their own government they probably wont have the inept/bureaucratic/corrupt government that has been a staple of Macross since the beginning. Reading your post hurts my brain. Quote

Imitate our planes... but they can never take.. OUR VALK-GIRLS!! Also, LOL: Robotech - An "American" anime series that is really a bootleg of Macross and several other Japanese shows.

Salamander Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 I hope this TV Tropes page is more to your liking than the Wikipedia page: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.AstroPlan Please do not edit it to be more negative! However, if you can tell me what other anime besides the obvious get ripped off, that would be great! Quote

Salamander Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Heh, the trailer on Youtube got its audio disabled because it used music from Michael Bay's Transformers movies. Way to get started. Quote
areaseven Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Is anyone here having trouble streaming the videos? I can't seem to load any of them. Quote
Funkenstein Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 (edited) Honestly, looks like a lot more creative effort put in than Shadow Chronicles. At least these guys decided to copy modern designs, unlike SC with their 80's era mecha design. As for this becoming a sequel to SC, I would love to see that outcome. Imagine they brought this show to a convention ?! The entire place would get torn to shreds out of rage. Edited January 16, 2010 by Funkenstein Quote
