the one good thing i guess about no Nanase is that Luca hardly says anything and we hardly see him,which is great cuz y'know...Luca is dumb.

Also mean we have more time for Ozma teasing Luca about his child-like appearance, which is always good.

Now THIS is how it should have been in the first place. She's in motion, hair is flowing, and she's it looks like she's singing Lion.

Let's not forget that cute little arse.

Star Driver is getting pretty fun too. Really loving the Diebuster references (same mecha designer) especially the eyecatch in some episodes.

There's more Utena references then anything else, but yeah the Gunbuster 2 eyecatch is pretty sweet.

At what point roughly is the Grace shower scene? I am not a creep, I just don't remember seeing it. All I saw was Sheryl in the bath. Perhaps my legitimate Malaysian government certified DVD has been cut?

I just did a quick fast forward and I didn't see it either. Any help?

It's at 1 hour 16 minutes into the film.

It's a course on "Astrosociology", a new field which looks at space not (only) from a physics perspective but from a human sciences one. Here's the ongoing blog (although most of it is in Japanse, sorry) -- And yes, that's me in the spacesuit

Shame it's mostly in Japanese because i'd love to give it a read. & awesome picture, i must say.

As for the Gypsy vinyl, is that the one with the very sexy Mimsy cover? Not sure if that's only for the CD version or not.

For me definately SDF Macross followed by DYRL then Macross Plus. Haven't had a chance to watch Zero, Frontier, 7 or Dynamite 7 yet - might get a chance to do that over the upcoming Thanksgiving holidays.

Make sure you watch Macross Zero before Macross Frontier. Trust me on that one.

But yeah hopefully you won't have been spoiled too much on these shows you haven't seen while browsing the forum.

The Tomino quote is not a response to Nishizaki's passing, it is older.

I was thinking to myself that Tomino was a bit quick on the ball to speak about the topic, though because of his words it was hard to think otherwise.

Payment sent. Thanks again EXO.

I was never a Mazinger fan, seems like that might change though.

Did you not watch the recent Shin Mazinger Z? Wow what a show that was.

Purge is actually the same for both. You can manually purge even when using Type-B.

That's some useful information. Thanks again.

You know the man behind Voices of a Distant Star, The Place Promised in Our Early Days & 5 Centimeters Per Second? Children who Chase Lost Voices from Deep Below is his next project, and the first trailer was released today.

& the film summary:

Asuna lost her father and lives a lonely life listening to mysterious music coming from her father's crystal radio. One day she sets out for a journey to see a boy again. Through the adventure' date=' she experiences a parting and finds the cruelty and the beauty of the world.[/quote']

Visuals are absolutely stunning, plus the first Temon piece we heard for the movie is beautiful, as expected. I'm on board for this, and can not wait.

If this is the first time you've heard of Makoto Shinkai and haven't seen any of his previous works, then i highly recommend you do so now.

Just watched the third episode of Orguss, and..

Even though i'd like to see more Nanase, that would be pretty pointless to the story.

My order would be:

DYRL? > Macross Plus > SDF Macross > Macross 7 > Macross Frontier > Macross Zero > Macross II

Funny really, because i was thinking about this recently and couldn't come up with an answer. Turned out pretty easy when it came to writing it down.

Macross the First is special, so that goes into it's own category.

But there was a full house of mostly Daft Punk fans who kept screaming for the operator to "crank it up".

That's awesome. Glad to hear it was packed with Daft Punk fans.

As a plus, Kei Katsuragi's way of approaching women is just plain hilarious.

& now i know where Hayami Show's playboy voice started. He's such a damn awesome main character.

Looking at Orguss, you have to feel a bit jealous that Macross didn't have its animation consistency. Sure there are still some off-model episodes, but the consistency overall is much better.

Yeah that's pretty much all i could think about while watching the first episode of Orguss. Though we had DYRL which made up for it. :3

Wow, this is actually the first time I've entered this thread, and you guys are talking about Orguss. That is awesome, as not only is it probably my favourite anime series of all time, but I bought the single on vinyl just yesterday.

Wow that's pretty awesome. I have all the more reason now to enjoy Orguss has much as possibly. & wow teaching you students about the Space Elevator. How did that come about in class?

& yeah Arjuna is a great show, with such a wacky yet awesome Yoko Kanno score. It's amazing the amount of people who watch show, and come away calling it a hippy's experience.

Type A you manually Purge, by pressing alll the face buttons (▲OX■), Type B automatically ejects after the packs health is used up.

Yeah i knew about Type B, though i would have never known how to purge while using Type A, so thanks a lot for that.

You misspelled "Nanase."

Would be pretty interesting to see how they'd write her into the second film.

Thanks a lot big F and Keith, you've been most helpful.

I was wondering if you could attach a pack and still be able to use the original special combo attack, so that's rather interesting to know. Seeing as though the pack auto purges on Type B, i'm guessing it stays with A, or do i have to do it manually?

As for colors, most of the time i go with the standard for the same reason as Keith, though now and then i like to play around with the custom colors, to see what i can come up with.

Indeed it's very sad news. May the Yamato rest in peace.

For those interested, Patrick Macias translated Yoshiyuki Tomino's thoughts on Nishizaki's passing. It's pretty typical crazy Tomino, so you've been warned.

I thought M7's length was fine and Frontier was short. But then again, I'm use to series that run into the 75+ episode-range and think kids these days suffer from ADD. Naruto is 220 episodes long and kids these days complain about M7 being too long. M7 is a frakin' cake-walk compared to a show like Naruto.

I guess some people just aren't that interested in the slice of life episodes that Macross 7 has (personally i love them), and instead wish it was shorter and more plot focused.

Regarding today's anime, yeah there's only a few shows started each year that go past the 26 episode mark. Today's viewers have it easy.

Some nice Klan x Michael fanart.

I would love to do a Misa statue but Mikimoto keeps drawing Minmay in more interesting poses and outfits. lol.

For example:

Glad to hear you enjoyed it. I'd love to watch such a film on a IMAX screen. Was there a reason it happened at all? Like a special occasion?

Started watching Super Dimension Century Orguss this evening, which i'm enjoyed quite a bit. I'd say more about the first two episodes that i've seen, though at the moment i'm pretty mesmerized by Mimsy's arse.

My Daughters first Halloween

Adorable.

I'm glad I had a chance to "pop in." This is coming along nicely! How much are you charging? If it's within budget, I know a little girl who might your figure in her room. Yes, the children are Macross fans too! Make justifying my habbit easier ;^) - MT

If i was EXO, i wouldn't sell such a creation.
