lol, Areaseven just sent me this.

Remember that time China bootlegged Shadow Chronicles to make their own show? Oh wait, that never happened! Robotech big in China eh? hmmm..

Any highlights that you think are notable? Im sure that most of us don't want to watch 9 minutes of people talking about Robotech.

So what do you guys think of the fact that USD is trading at its lowest against the JPY? Though not strictly on-topic , it does present a problem for people looking to buy stuff soon.

Wouldn't spraying with clear top coat protect against yellowing?

I think the main reason Hawking is saying this is that extinction level events are not rare, and actually quite periodic, sort of like an interstellar bowel movement. The main cause of our extinction would be an asteroid. It doesn't necessarily need to wipe out all of Earth's life, just damage human civilization enough that we can no longer function in the post-impact environment.

Its asteroids that will probably kill us, and no matter where we are on Earth, the likelihood of instantaneous death by asteroid is still the same.

Space Mutiny was pretty terrible. It looked like it was filmed in an abandoned chemical processing factory and the only highlights were the spandex leotards and decidedly creepy henchmen.

Are those quick time events? How does that work in a flight sim?

Perhaps, but I grew out of it... (*sorry, I couldn't help myself*)

I dont think anyone got the joke.

I finished watching Air Gear after 4 years. I have to admit, it was cool, especially the combination of music and street wear. I am surprised it was never renewed though. There's always the manga though.

This is based on the board game, Battleship. Thats what I heard. So it won't be Space Battleship Missouri.

I can only hope they're splicing scenes from Astro Plan into their "new" production.

I take it you didn't like Inception

Well, isn't the Lucifer Valkyrie Pink to match?

The VF-27 custom is Red, like the Red Comet. 3 times faster!

Sounds like a heartless and flashy version of Pan's Labyrinth.

Area7 started that. If you can't tell, he's trolling like a mad man.

Im not impressed. Movie needs more than style to actually be enjoyable.

How big is it anyway? 1/3000 scale doesn't convey much information to me.

You sure thats not just left over stock? There must be a secret landfill filled with those guys.

Does this come with the part that lets you attach it to the stand in batteroid mode?

This was expected. What I would love to see would be the SDP-1 version. That would be a total surprise.

Haven't gotten there yet, but I can imagine that towards the end, the anime must deviate quite a bit from the manga, specially considering that 10 years later, the manga is still ongoing and with no end in sight.

Thats true, but the quality does drop sharply in the animation.

Why? The answer is simple. The fans like it that is enough for Hasbro to hate it.

So basically what Tatsunoko did with Sailor Moon then.

So will the new Robotech "side project" involve double D's as well?

I dont see how you can like one more than the other though. The story's are the same (Within the Macross storyline at least). What quality makes you favorable towards Robotech that isn't available in Macross?

I dont see much talk about the Super Robot Chogokin series, anyone have any opinions?

Considering that they're gonna re-re-release some Macross Saga-thingy for Christmas, they're obviously gonna milk it until the bone marrow is dry. Is it so hard to just reboot the franchise instead of waiting for WB to do something? Just come out with a cartoon that starts everything from scratch. That's the trend of the day, rebooting franchises. Redo the entire series from scratch and, putting it in today's lingo, make it something that today's audience can relate to. Or is that too hard?

Don't get the Mechwarrior-folks started, 'kay?

Especially if you call them Mechwarrior folks when its Battletech nuts.
