    Finished watching the second disk yesterday, I thought it was a good show as well. And yes, Lots of sex and violence... The English cast was very good all the way through, not a stinker in the bunch. Only better English cast work I've seen is the stuff Disney brought over lately (Nausica being top notch, Howl's moving castle is excellent as well)

    Sentinels has been ready to go for 20+ years now...

    In that case, no news is good news - since that is all we ever get from HG...

    Beat me to the punch on that. More Yamato is always good news (it does have to improve though). Hopefully the director's cut of Rebirth will take care of the jumpiness of the plot too.

    That's been true for almost every game ever made, other then Counter Strike and Day of Defeat. I even remember trying to be a sniper in the original Delta Force game and getting no hits unless someone was AFK...

    I read somewhere else that Yamato made 11 Million USD on opening week. Is that true? And if so is that considered a lot of money in Japan? Here in the US it would be labelled a bomb for that kind of opening weekend, but I have no idea what is expected in Japan.

    Yes - look at the victory celebration at the end of almost any war (for the winners), WWI and WWII spring readily to mind - the most people killed in conflicts ever, up to that point and the celebrations when they were done were huge.

    That's easy - when I come here I know I'll be seeing things about the topic at hand, when going to facebook I see a million posts of "look at me fuzzy toes" for every one that is on a topic I am actually interested in. I suppose there may be some kind of filter to keep that from happening, but I can't be arsed to look for it.

    That is because they break one of Anime's unwritten rules - which paraphrased from my Mekton rulebook gooes. "Anime does not have bug like aliens, because nobody wants to kiss a bug"

    From the show it is obvious they must "forget" certain defenses over time - it goes without saying that they must have gone up against one of those old Zentradi battle suits before (from the episode where Alto is going through his initiation battle)

    Heard of it, but never saw it! This was licensed by the toy/model company that used the Robotech name to sell the models - this was before Robotech the series ever existed. (which reminds me, how did HG end up with the Robotech name - never mind, don't really want to know)
  13. Dynaman
    No - and I just looked for the word Meisa and didn't see anything. (I can't get to youtube here at work either, have to watch that later) Besides - the whole point is to not bother me with facts! I WANT MY YAMATO MOVIE! (even if it turns into a big stinking pile of dog excrement) (side note - I did not like the new Gamilas ship designs seen in the opening battle, but I still want it)

    The early dialog in the show between Ozma and the NUNS forces doesn't help, Ozma basically calls them incompatent idiots. (At least the subs I watched) Seeing the NUNS forces get trounced lends some creadence to this. What the viewers don't find out till later is that the Vajra very quickly (in BORG like style) adapt defenses to any threat - and by the time of Frontier's start the Vajra had already been up against NUNS equipment before. The SMS can adapt to this, since they get to test new stuff and deploy it without an excess of paperwork, while the NUNS - well...

    To paraphrase Dobert and Teddy Roosevelt "Out! Out!, you Nattering Nabob of Negativity!"

    Star Blazers website has more info about this movie and the Rebirth movie. The site below also says that the new movie did very well at the Box Office, that it has been set for debut in other countries, and that US distributors are interested in it... http://augustragone.blogspot.com/2010/12/space-battleship-sails-into-world.html

    Only one disc left (have to keep a better watch on my NetFlix queue). No excuse not to watch the rest then. Seperate note - thanks everyone for the help in tracking down Orguss.
  18. Dynaman
    To take this in another direction. The Soviet policy of sending their "allies" the second rate equipment is more in line with the thread up till now. Russia and the most trusted of the Warsaw Pact countries got the best stuff, on down the line till we have the least reliable countries getting equipment that was only really usable for controlling the local population. This is not just for cynical reasons - you don't want the good stuff being accidently "found" by the werstern allies in a ditch, where they could then research it... On the western allies front, the superpowers once again got the best equipment, down the line till the least economically developed nations had equipment that was, once again, not useful for much more then local population control. Same reason about not wanting it to fall into the other side's hands still applies.

    My earlier posts got conjoined for some reason... What would I need to Google up to find a good sub of the original Orguss?
  20. Dynaman
    Time to add my 2 cents. DYRL (only after watching SDFM though) Two reasons, Misa gets a decent kiss from Hikaru, and the animation is superb. Plus Frontier Zero 7 - could never watch it again, Basara is not my kind of character, and if I want to watch Hanna Barbera characters (which I DON"T) I'll watch Yogi Bear or Squidley Diddly instead... In it's favor - I liked the bits with Max and Millia, and Exedore's head (can't spell his Macross name correctly). II - I only ever saw the dubbed version, which I now know is a crime against humanity, I need to find the subbed version someday.
  21. Dynaman
    I guess I'll have to watch at least the next disc then, I liked Evangelion - even the last few episodes (both sets no less) Now if you had said it was a train wreck like that last show I tried to watch that would be saying something... (can't even remember the title of that show, which is just as well) All I'll lose from watching the next disc is a Netflix rental, and if I lived through the shame of watching the latest Starship Troopers I can live through this too.

    On the SciFi front, don't forget that he was the Lead in "Forbidden Planet". That movie's special effects hold up till this day. I loved the Police Academy movies.

    Watched the first 3 Episodes of "Rin: Daughter of M" (something or other starting with M, can't remember it exactly) I'm impressed with the dubbing on this one, it is excellent - not a clunker in the cast so far. The show is about a pair of immortal women who run a detective agency and a man they pick up. (and that is a lame description, but to say any more gives away too much of the plot). The episodes so far go back and forth, one taking place in 2011 and another taking place in 1991. It has me hooked enough to look forward to seeing where the plot goes from the first three eps. Warning - this is NOT a show for the younger set, I doubt this could even have gotten on Japanese TV (but I've been wrong before). If on US TV it would have to be on one of the pay channels... I'm still looking forward to watching it. I avoid reading any spoilers I can though (already know it deals with dimension hopping...). I know this is mentioned earlier, but who has the best subs for this show again, and what would I need to google up in order to find them?
  24. Dynaman
    Not always, sometimes a sub has to omit nuance in order make the subs readable in the same time that a character can say things. When there are 2 streams of dialog going at once it gets even more problematic. It is more rare then bad dubs but it does happen. (to see it in action, watch the subtitles on a movie in english, here is a made up example). Dialog - "What do you think you are doing here brother!?" Sub - "Why are you here?"

    They are boxy, but Yuki is lovely, and I ask you, does anything else really matter after that?
