TITular you say?

Where do I sign up?!?!?

For now, I think membership dues require the submission of fan art !

I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet so I hereby found

Hot Exquisite Nanase Titular Association Incorporated

Exquisite is interchangable with Enourmous

On the contrary I think it's been pretty consistent that you can tell the next episode's animation quality from the previews. But then again, I've only see static screenshots. Have to wait until dub this time.

Guys if we don't allow you to post certain images here that also can include giving detailed instructions of how to find it as well.

I thought on several occasions that it was decided by other moderators that NSFW tags were enough and direct links could be posted as long as not embeded or attached.

That one is the best, are there other girls in the same style?

Manifest Destiny was more the idea that the US should bring Democracy to all the world, forcefully if need be.

No James, you are confusing it with Pax Americana

Manifest Destiny in it's original and main usage was a term for exploring America's west and settling on the new frontier.

Matchbox Robotech stuff is cheap. Generally why they may also be rare, there is less demand because a lot of the toys sucked. Battlepod prices went down when more people went for the cheaper Exo-squad versions instead.

I traded all my Exo-squad Robotech for MASK toys instead.

The Matchbox SDF1 is cool even though it's missing so many features of the Takatoku...but I think I paid $80 for my boxed one and I applied the stickers myself. I added an extra few as well to cover the holes at the top for the missile launcher which I thought looked stupid. The Daedalus and Prometheus are in sorry need for some detail though.

I would kill for a good sized DYRL SDF-1, not the small one released a while ago that claimed diecast but hardly had any metal and was uber expensive.

She doesn't have an "immature mind" when she is young. She is just one of the girls who know what it is like to act and play young and enjoy it very much. Most young girls know how to play young and cute even when they are older and mature.

@ComicKaze - Dude, if I ever see one again at retail, I'll scoop it up for you and send you a PM. Won't charge more than retail + shipping mate.

That'd be amazing. Thanks Buddy. There isn't even a GI JOE section in Toys R Us here and Hasbro said that Wal-Mart Canada isn't allowed to import U.S. figures anymore.

ok guys....i'm not a mod but please stop calling each other names or trying to prove who is smarter than the other. Can't we all be civil adults?

I'm usually absolutely 100% civil and will even bend over backwards for people but Westlo's whole "get a clue" addition was totally uncalled for.

Until I discover a good compromise term for how to decribe the 2D animation in Macross Frontier, I will call it CG as that's what it is called in the anime industry and Macross Frontier is an anime.

Irregardless, this is basically what has driven me from anime almost completely. I'm only tuning into Macross Frontier because of it's Macross Connections but the art in anime post 1998 era has all been such that I can't watch anime anymore because of the heavy use of computers.

I'm not sure the sex education question should be answered in this or the newbie thread...

As for sci-fi in Macross...please continue.

Hey, for plenty of Otaku "sex-education" might as well be science fiction!!!

I would assume that is standard uniform for female NUNS officers, perhaps whoever Mikhale is visiting at that gravestone was in the military, and we were seeing a flashback or something. Just speculation of course.

It's likely the older sister we've heard about so much. I'm guessing she was in Nuns. It gets Mikhail angry and he hits Alto in training.

The character art in this episode is about as good as I've seen it in this series. There definitely is a budget crunched Evangelion feel to this episode, though, lots of still shots, or moving shots over backgrounds.

Dude what are you smoking?

This episode was on par with some of the worse episodes. Whoever this agency is, they can't draw facial proportions or even fluid movement if their lives depended on it. The next episode's preview looks like a return to Episode 5 (Star Date's) animation quality which was much better.

So what did Sheryl say about the earring? You lost it and now you have to pay me back by being my slave forever?

The uniform looks like Cathy's

The guy knows nothing of japan. He probably was there for DB or Naruto which he thought was cool looking on the internet.

I guess you've never heard of The Office?

No that's called digital painting, you don't call hand drawn and animated stuff cg, get a clue please.

Get outside if your western lexicon bubble...That's the term I have come across in Japanese artbooks and games. (Yes bishoujo stuff), it's CG sets, etc.

This is a Japanese misuse of the term but it is still relatively the most popular term for these circumstances. I hate how people abbreviated CGI to CG over here as well. Of course I know the difference but you know how the Japanese mangle terms or come up with their own combinations.

Of course I know the difference and I hate how CGI is shortened to CG all the time when speaking of actual rendered 3D.

Dude, don't even bother trying to discuss this "CG issue" with them in any rational way. The more I hear bitching about it, the more I realize how little they actually understand. Around these parts, CG (and can you even call computer painting of hand drawn cells "CG"? ) has become a shorthand on these board for some of the laziest yet most vitriolic bitching and moaning this side of the internet.

CG is 2D art that has been colored or enhanced by computer. It's the proper term in Japan for any anime, games, art, etc. done like that.

BTW, the next week looks like the high quality animation team is back. Yahooooo!

Sigh I saw this coming 5 episodes ago and called it in many threads.

BTW, the next week looks like the high quality animation team is back. Yahooooo!

I just downloaded episode 8 of Frontier.

Oh my word, it's beyond dreadful this team, right from the first scene when Ranka burst out the carrots. It looks like it was animated in China.

At least you guys in the U.S. saw a few waves at some point. As far as I know, Canada never got the first 5 waves.

I'll never see a Snake Eyes with Timber

Arg!! no matter how much you shoot me.... "We will win!!!"

hahaha. ok, i think only a sniper shot to the head from mikael will work at this point.

Hey Mikael, "Look Up! Look Up! The sky is falling!!!"

Had the Macross fallen in 1999 then the World`s media outlets would suddenly be very interested in an old Japanese cartoon that predicted the whole thing.

had the Macross fallen in 1999, I'd sell all my posessions and move to South Ataria Island...either that or dig a really deep hole and stock a shelter for what I knew was going to happen in the next year.

Just regular DVD players.

Normally, I'll watch Frontier on my work laptop, which can handle .MKV, .AVI & .MP4 files with ease, just it's a pain carrying it home everyday, so I like to have the eps on a DVD to watch on my standalone DVD players, so I can watch them when I don't bring my work laptop home.

I'm usually rewatching one episode at least of Frontier every night.

There are a lot of el-cheapo chinese players now (as well as big name ones) that will play AVIs and MKVs. It saves you a lot of trouble, I just burn to a DVD-RW. Usually I prefer to watch at the computer anyway. I was never a fan of watching TV on a couch.
