CF18 Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 BT already show up on Chinese sites. I am sure a RAW will show up in newsgroup and other BT site in a few hours. And holy crap this epsiode can still surpress the previous ones in the visual department, and also highly dramatic. There are just too much screen shot worth posting, I will just post a few that should not be too much spoiler. First some under water dating. Quote
CF18 Posted November 28, 2003 Author Posted November 28, 2003 Destroid action! At least two types are shown: Gun and missile. Quote
CF18 Posted November 28, 2003 Author Posted November 28, 2003 So what is the official name of this bad boy? GBP-0S? Quote
imode Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Out already and I'm stuck at work!! I should have taken the friday off! Quote
justvinnie Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 is it me or does the VF-0 GPB look like it is cel animated and not CG like the destroids? vinnie Quote
Abombz!! Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 is it me or does the VF-0 GPB look like it is cel animated and not CG like the destroids?vinnie Its cel animated alright.... its probably because that scene would be way too hard to animate in CG and still get it to look good. Quote
Aegis! Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 (edited) ..................................................................................................OH mommy!!!.......I think I´m gonna faint .... I´m speechless ....it´s so ....it´s....man it´s.....WOAH! Missile Launching Destroid variant = Awesome GBP= SWEEEEEEEEEET APHOS = looks great , I just wonder where all this is going I noticed that the SV-51 seems to have some sort of armour as well (look at the torso). Pretty neat IMO. Just another comment : EAT YOUR FREAKING FINS NEMO !!!...ahem...I just liked the underwater scenes with the APHOS Edited November 28, 2003 by Aegis! Quote

They did that before a couple times in the first 2 episodes. Most notably when Shin was firing at Nora using that crashed VF-0 and she flys down and kicks his arm off. Almost that entire sequence, including the walking gerwalk scene all the way to where Roy jumps in and saves his ass was all cel animation. Makes me just think about what could have been... Quote
Anubis Posted November 28, 2003 Posted November 28, 2003 Holy Crap. I must have it. It just looks better and better, and this is only the 3rd part. I am really curious where they take this AFOS bit. Bring on the VF-1's!!! Quote
Panon Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 I watched it a while ago - definately the best episode yet. The art and animation are superb, they really took it to another level. Especially the CG animation, it's still not quite perfect but moves a lot better. I was also really impressed with the music. No singing, but it just fit very well, and a nice ending credits song. It's not an all action episode, the entire first half as none as it's devoted to plot (which was needed) and Roy fans should scale down their expectations - he's barely present in the episode. He has no scenes other than the sequence with the armoured valkyrie only says about three words during that. It's predominantly a Shin/Mao/Sara episode. Quote
Hurricane29 Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Looking good, now get to work Fansubbers! Quote
Valkyrie Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Couldja post the chinese BT links? I'll take it in any form I can get it at the moment Quote
Effect Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Oh man. That looks great. I can't wait to see this episode. Quote
Panon Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 (edited) http://www.torrentreactor.net/tracker/torr...ails.php?id=122 It has a rather obnoxious pop up ad unfortunately, sorry about that. Edited December 1, 2003 by Panon Quote

Yohsho Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Looks very cool. Can't wait. 1 question, in the 3 set of pics what is the GBP looking at? the top left corner pic. Quote
Panon Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Looks very cool. Can't wait. 1 question, in the 3 set of pics what is the GBP looking at? the top left corner pic. That's Ivanov's SV-51 Quote
azrael Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 I'll obviously be repeating myself in the future because as people cannot read. EPISODE 4 IS DUE OUT TENTATIVELY DUE IN SPRING 2004. Quote
Legioss Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 That looks amazing. I like the underwater pics and the cel animated mecha. Quote
bob joe mac Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 NOOOO!!!! Even though the RAW torrent will only take 25 min to D/L I WONT BE ABLE TO WATCH IT FOR ABOUT 8 HOURS. *cries* Quote
cypherpunk Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 (edited) The ending leaves you hanging.... for another X months. ARGH! And who knew valkyries worked underwater? Edited November 29, 2003 by cypherpunk Quote
BlueMax Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Here's my 2 cents worth after looking at the RAW rip without (hopefully) giving away any spoilers. Story: Can't really comment much on that as I could only pick out some words, but not full sentences, so i can't really comment on where this was going, but indeed it has become more and more intriguing. Animation: 2D animation aka characters seemed to be slightly lacklustre.... especially in the earlier part of the show. However, 3D wise, it was fluid enough to make the 3D animation in the 1st 2 episodes look as if some heavy footed man learning ballet for the very first time. Voice Acting: Seiyuus are simply the best. these people who provided the voices ARE simply the characters they portray on screen. Action: This is where the the whole episode shines. Loads of action, very big action. Very nicely directed and chereographed. Kawamori et al has clearly outdone themselves theis time. I would benchmark the intensity of the action to the Battle of Helm's Deep in Lord of the Rings: The 2 Towers, as the battle scenes really brought out a sense of all-out battle as well clearly depicting the horrors and sadness that occur during war times. I would like to talk more about the battlescenes. As far as i'm concerned, the real stars of the show was not the valkyries, but the Destroids. In SDF: Macross, they were mostly just Cannon Fodder, but here, they were clearly more than just that, as they play quite an important defence role and the action that they provided simply makes you go "whoa!!" You can just wipe a tear off your eyes as finally the animators finally gave the destroids their due respect and credit. As for the variable fighters (they haven't been officially named valkyries yet), The animators actually thought up new maneuvers they haven't thought before. It just makes the Macross 7 valks look as though they just fly into battle and just stay stationary. Obviously this sets a very high standard for the following 2 episodes, and all i can say that if this keeps up, we'll really be in a visual treat. My only beef with this episode? This episode was really too short (figuratively) and GBP-0S had too little screen time. All in all, this is a must watch for all Macross lovers, subs or no subs. Get it now, even if you have to spend a week downloading it. Quote
justvinnie Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 The ending leaves you hanging.... for another X months. ARGH! And who knew valkyries worked underwater? It's always been known that valkyries can operate under water vinnie Quote
UN Spacy Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Alright. I just finished the DL'ing it........but I'm getting NO sound (the video works fine). What program are you guys using to run this file? Where can I find the new codec? Quote
BlueMax Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 You'll need the AC3 filter. do a web search. Quote
NoSuchFile Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 UN Spacy Sorry to hear that The episode is EXCELLENT, I dunno what they said, only know a few words of japanese, but it didn't matter since the show was AWSOME, spend all the time you need to get it, mine downloaded the entire night, IT IS WELL WORTH IT, thrust me After you watched it, you will be BEGGING for some more Next Zero seems really far away Now I ust have to wait for the subs to find out what exactly they where saying in there BY FAR THE BEST ZERO EP!!! Get it ASAP!!! Quote
Mechamaniac Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 (edited) Yeah, go here to get the AC3 codec, it's part of a pack of codecs. Incidentally, this gave me sound in both DiVX player, and Windows Media Player after I installed it. http://www.filemirrors.com/search.src?file...Build9Beta1.exe Edited November 29, 2003 by Mechamaniac Quote
BlueMax Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Or here. http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/ac3filt...9b.exe?download Quote
Mechamaniac Posted November 29, 2003 Posted November 29, 2003 Man, are they going to keep making jokes at the expense of Shin's bunghole?? Quote
