    They were not planning on using the footage as a Macross continuation, they were planning on a different show.

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

    Bottom line, it is an OVA. If perceived quality had anything to do with it then nothing would qualify. Also - your loathing of the show in question does not detract from it being an OVA, indeed - since it is not a theatrical movie and was never on TV (as far as I can tell), the only definition that fits is OVA, or a synonymous english term. Sources: (note that many/all of these state that OAVs generaly have higher budgets or quality it is not a rule) http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/lexicon.php?id=35 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Original_video_animation http://www.wordiq.com/definition/OVA And since the horse is dead, buried, dug up, creamated, ashes spread out to sea, sucked up with the oil in Gulf, and reburied in a landfill, my part in this is done...

    OK - I've just heard the DUMEST (so Dumb it forgot the B) movie idea ever. (This even beats out the remake of Piranha) I'm at work so I can't watch the clips, will have to remember to do so when I get home.

    yes - it's not what Marvel and DC call it, but that is what things released directly for home use is. Shadow Chronicles is actually an interesting case though - they tried to get it to theaters first (and in some small way did) but it was not a wide release. So one COULD argue that Shadow Chronicles is a theatrical movie which they then released on DVD (I would not do that personally). Which shows the whole distinction between OVA, Theatrical, and TV is nebulous at best. (Didn't just happen to Shadow Chronicles, the original Battlestar Galactica was first released as a movie in Canada for instance)

    Just started watching Eureka Seven. First episode was interesting. Still have to get back to watching FMA:Brotherhood (first couple episodes were so close to FMA that I have not gotten round to more yet - but I know they diverge later on)

    I never knew that watching an OVA gives one the ability to declare what is or is not an OVA. I've been watching them since the mid eighties - must make me an expert as well, so I declare the Robotech stuff to be OVAs.

    Unlike some movies, that had a picture of a Dragon and a bunch of helicopters on the movie poster, THIS one actually did have helicopters fighting dragons (and not just one - even if is just a rehashed CGI model of the same one)

    How did I miss this earlier? Anyway, they play the thing for laughs - think of the Three Bears from the Bugs Bunny cartoons and you have how the three bears in this behaved. It also has the great line "OK, let'd do the Avon lady routine - I'll knock on the door and you cover me with the Uzi". NOTE - I was in my late teens / early twenties when I saw this...

    Seconded. Just saw "The Forbidden Kingdom" last night, and although it is a US (or western) movie, I liked it a lot. I'm pretty sure I mentioned that "Kung Fu Hustle" is one of the funiest movies I've ever seen - but it is worth mentioning again.

    You got your robotech in my starblazers...

    The Star Blazers website has a bit more info. It appears there was an English subtitled showing of the movie at a Canadian film festival (legal and all from the sound of it too). http://www.starblazers.com/html.php?page_id=484&PHPSESSID=ee79669da464014e6560fd08aea5927e

    They don't normally list movies unless they plan on renting them though and have reason to believe they can get them in stock sometime. They don't even list series DVDs till they are available, even if they already are renting earlier episodes. As an example - they don't have the Yamato WWII movie on their system even though there is an English subtitled version available.
  14. Dynaman
    Netflix has the movie listed in their system, no release date yet - but I don't think they list movies unless someone is planning to release a US version (most likely subbed but that is good with me)
  15. Dynaman
    I didn't see it mentioned anywhere - new season trailer is online at syfy. Looks like it's going to be good. http://blastr.com/2010/07/caprica-trailer.php

    Considering how terrible a game system the Robotech RPG is I don't blame them for treating it as a tech manual. Other then the tech specs(*) there is nothing of value in the game... (*) - Please note, I do not make any claim that the specs listed in the game are accurate or make any sense...
  17. Dynaman
    The series is available on one of the legal streaming sites for free. I think a Harlock series is available as well (that is here in the US...)
  18. Dynaman
    Actually, they are "enhancing" Love, Live, Alive - gotta have more DD...
  19. Dynaman
    ESPECIALLY since the Lisa Hayes drawing looks better then the Lisa Hayes in Sentinels...
  20. Dynaman
    I think it is, in the online trailer it has what looks like the scene where Saito is in front of the engine room getting shot to pieces...
  21. Dynaman
    Accounting reasons most likely. The film did such a pathetic gross (might not have even made back it's total production and marketing costs even adding in DVD sales) that is was less financial trouble to trash the props and take them as a loss then to try and auction them off and possibly make a small profit - and then not be able to take the tax writeoff.

    I'll say it then, anyone who thought either transformers movie was enjoyable is lacking in taste. Same goes for the second Batman movie, I spent the whole thing thinking "how can someone who hates to plan things get THAT many explosives into the hospital?, or the Boat, or the warehouse?". The idea the movie was considered oscar worthy made me sick. As for Batman begins, I thought it was nothing special. (So I guess my opinion of Nolan isn't all that high)
  23. Dynaman
    Same here - till I saw it has the same director as Patriot Games and Clear and Present Danger. I'll probably still pass on it though.

    Casting her was not a Jinx, it was an omen.
  25. Dynaman
    That I'm pretty confidant they do not have. They would be lucky to get a veto option on the script (which does not mean the movie does not get made, it usually just means that small changes have to be made to please them - the Harry Potter example being a good case of this). For WB to sign ANY contract that states that HG could pull the license - HG is just not big enough to bother with those kinds of shenanigans.
