New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
Graham replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
Despite the fact that we have never had a season 2 of any Macross TV series before, I'm still hoping the new Macross TV series will be a continuation of Delta. The characters were all likable and the mecha designs were great and I think they deserve more screen time. Also hopefully a bit more emphasis on mecha combat compared to season 1 would be nice as well as more character development and screen time for the supporting characters. I'm not asking or expecting to have non-stop mecha action, but at least give us a minimum of 3-5 minutes of mecha action per each 20 minute episode and no more than 2 episodes in a 26 minute season that don't feature mecha. -
Yay, finally managed to snag one at AmiAmi.

New Macross TV Series in 20xx (sometime this decade)
Graham replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
I'd actually like to see Macros Delta, season 2. Give Delta a chance to redeem itself, but of course it would need a different director and writer that actually understand Macross and mecha anime and also feature more mecha combat. -
Going to see this after lunch today.

I'm sure they probably have an explosive charge system that ejects any part of the console clear that would obstruct ejection.

Actually, the old Imai 1/72 transformable VF-1 model kits from 1982-83 were the first transforming 1/72 scale Macross model kits. But anyway, so far the newer Macross Delta 1/72 scale VF-31 model kits from Bandai seem to be holding up well. I only have experience with the VF-31J, but it's certainly an improvement over the Bandai 1/72 scale VF-25 Macross Frontier kits in terms of how well it locks together. My only complaint with the 1/72 VF-31J model kit is that the head laser is very fragile and snaps easily when handling the kit.

Thanks. Hmm........so they definitely just reused the charger pod animation..........lazy beans!
-
He did say Macross, not Robotech.
-
Don't give them ideas!!!!
-
I forget, were there any scenes in the anime where we saw the pod on the VF-31A Kairos in the open position? If anybody can remember, can you please post the episode number, or a screenshot, thanks.
-
Really? I've personally never met anyone who doesn't like the first movie, it's a classic. I actually prefer it to T2.
-
_The VF-25 really needs a v.3 release with ratcheted joints and wing hard points.

Examined my two DX VF-31J while wearing my reading glasses last night (yep, old age is catching up, needed reading glasses since last year). Both have no noticable paint wear so far after about 2 weeks. My first one has been transformed 4 times and currently resides in Gerwalk mode and is handled every 2-3 days. My second one has never been transformed, but gets handled (swooshed around) daily and the canopy and multi-drone bays get opened regularly. Personally, I'm fine if I do get a bit of paint wear not really an issue for me, as planes rarely look pristine in real life. But anyway, hasn't happened yet on mine.
-
Wow, the Lil' Drakens are actually larger than I expected.
-
I'm personally fine with having the Delta DX releases spread 2-4 months apart, makes them more affordable,without racking up a huge credit card bill if they were all released at once.
-
Damn, found the front are rear landing gear on one of my VF-19Advance that I always display in fighter mode is getting really loose and collapsing very easily, especially the front landing gear.
-
Not too worried about being not being able to snag a 31F so far. If it's anything like the 31J, will be able to get one close to the release date using FigInStock notifications.
-
Yeah, same, I gave up my lunch break so I could sit in the office, starring at my laptop screen and pressing F5.
-
Even though I was right there, the moment it went up, still couldn't snag one.
-
Up and gone in one minute
-
Just asked NY customer service when the 31F will be up for pre-order. They replied "today", but didn't specify a time.
-
I'm 47. Damn, we're becoming a bunch of old farts....haha Still not secured a Messer pre-order.
-
Damn, missed all of them. Was out of office and stuck on mobile phone with a poor connection. Oh well, not worried. Figinstock will eventually come to my rescue.

Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, in theaters Dec. 16, 2016
Graham replied to Dobber's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Gotta say, I really enjoyed both TFA and Rogue One. saw both 3 times at the cinema, bought the TFA Blu-ray and will buy the Rogue One Blu-ray. Yes, TFA was for the most part a retelling of ANH. However, IMO it was done very well. Great visuals and ship/weapon/costume designs, interesting and likable new characters and good action scenes and dialogue. Really looking forward to episode VIII. Rogue One, I thought had absolutely fantastic, breathtaking visuals, great ship/weapon/costume designs, some wonderful action sequences and also some good dialogue. However, yes on initial viewing none of the characters were particularly likable. However on my second and third viewings I found myself caring about them and liking them more. -
Suicide Squad, in theaters Aug. 5, 2016
Graham replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Finally got round to watching Suicide Squad on a flight to UK recently. Have to say I quite enjoyed it. I'd have probably enjoyed it less if I'd have paid to see it at the cinema, but as in-flight entertainment, I enjoyed it well enough. I did like some of the action and also the dialogue and interplay between the characters. Harley Quinn definitely stole the show. I'd probably watch it a second time on a big screen TV as a rental. Am I the only one who thought the Enchantress was hot? LOL
