  3. Rather comprehensive list; there are names of characters there I've never heard of, but then I've never played any of the Japanese games or read any of the manga. I was thinking of Hikaru since, although he's a pilot and proficient flying a standard aircraft, the VF-1 presented two additional configurations for which he was unprepared. And of course, he handled it clumsily thus crashing into Minmay's bedroom. That at least, in contrast to the usual prowess shown by first-time mecha pilots, was a more realistic portrayal of how things would actually likely play out. Concerning Alto, he'd trained via simulations and by flitting about in his flight gear; however, having never actually sat in a Valk until the Vajra attack, he acquitted himself quite admirably with William's VF-25 to protect Ranka, even if he only basically just stood there in GERWALK and pulled the trigger (I shall forever think of Shinji Ikari every time I hear that phrase). He also developed rather quickly into a very skilled pilot, as seems to be the case with most Macross protagonists regardless of background. Hayate initially raised a brow and a groan with his "Immelmann Dance". Pretty cheeky way of justifying his later skill in the VF-31; by virtue of his Workroid experience, I think it would have made for a more believable portrayal had he mastered the battroid, given the similarities, but struggled with the flying aspects. Instead, they gave that weakness to Mirage, both the progeny and student of ace pilots (isn't the whole Jenius family, though?) As for the rest, however, you make a good case for their skill, especially compared to the untrained Amuro Rays, Benagher Links, or Loran Cehacks of the Gundam universe(s).
  4. I'll have to go check whether my previous order is carried over. Slight bummer about the stickers not being included, but I feel lke that will be one of the easiest things to solve, and I'm sure there will be local options, just not free ones. I'm more concerned what the cost is going to be to actually receive the order at all now. Edit: Looks like I actually pre-paid my old order in full in September, so I should be good whenever the new stock comes in.
  5. This new trailer doesn't do anything for me, it's an apology trailer for the delay, it covers and conveys nothing new. When is the release? How much will GTA VI cost? What about the PC release? How about some actual gameplay? What is the fps target on current-gen consoles? Since it's GTA Rockstar offered nothing new, and didn't need to, the hype train still flying down the tracks.
  6. This season for me is just becoming tedious. I like Witch Watch, Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru and Slime 300 (more Yuuki Aoi than the show). I keep on forgetting things are on.
  7. This show is just bad. I really do not see a reason for Machu at all. Is she there for fanservice. Nyaan is a much better character. The Red Gundam talking to its pilot schtick is just getting annoying. I hate Witch From Mercury but this show is changing my opinion on it. When is the last time I really enjoyed watching Gundam.
  8. Tell me about it. I was just surprised this listing even existed. I paid almost nothing for these poster. Maybe the artist is an industry professional, not sure.
  9. Update: Show-Z is now saying the stickers won't be included in the stock shipped to the USA. I'm guessing the tampos being removed will hold true, but I guess the implication is now is whether the box will make it through. Yes.
  10. Please do not give Dave Filoni ideas... as third Tales of series clearly shows, he is clearly desperate enough that he's not particularly picky.
  11. @Papa Rat Cool! I haven't built one of those in decades! Looking forward to it! @nightmareB4macross Thanks for sharing that! I forgot about that awkward designed head! - MT
  12. Caught the new episode of GQuuuuuuX today over lunch... and it's legitimately boring. Once again, the most interesting part of the story is the implication that Big Things are happening offscreen back in Side 3 and we just don't get to see any of it because it's much more important that we watch a 16 year old spoiled rich kid sunbathe or get stuck in a train station locker. Since GQuuuuuuX is Studio Khara's baby, I think my nickname for it is going to be "Kharbage". Short for "Khara's Garbage". The writing is incredibly weak, the characters are badly underdeveloped even five episodes in, and many of the designs are sinfully ugly. It's like Studio Khara showed up to a game and creativity pitched a perfect no-hitter. The most interesting part of it thus far has been finding out what became of the iconic One Year War characters in this alternate history.
  13. GTA ^ pic has a playstation controller and a white ps looking console. I guess they prefer the playstation over the xbox
  14. Yandere Dark elf is exactly as you described. As for good ones this season.. Katainaka no Ossan, Kensei ni Naru From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman - good so far. Not groundbreaking but its not isekai trash.. just sayin. Kijin Gentoushou Sword of the Demon Hunter: Kijin Gentōshō - this is very good. seems to by flying under the radar on most places from this season.
  15. I feel like I just got lost playing Ecco and wouldn't know where to go...
  16. Is the new version up for pre-order?
