Looked like a hydrogen-oxygen reaction explosion. Still, the containment building was probably blown to pieces. We'll have to wait for any new information to come out so we know what's going on in there.

Natural disasters and civil unrest... good times are yet to come, huh? One thing that really stood out to me after watching a bunch of peoples' videos of the quake was that all of those tall buildings really took that quake like champs. I was just amazed at how well-built they are. It's terrible that so many people died from the tsunami, but it could have been worse if any of those buildings decided that they weren't gonna take any more and collapse. Good job, engineers and construction workers!

I agree with Che on the bump-mapping. You'd be better off significantly reducing it. Don't forget to add a command tower on the carrier... oh and I think you should put some catapult tracks on it, too.

If you guys don't like LOTR, why do you feel compelled to post in this thread? Just curious... I love Star Wars, but I just prefer LOTR over it. It just seems more entertaining to me, that's all. I love the Jedi Politics clip that you can watch from the first Clerks movie.

You know, I thought Americans were massive consumer whores. The amount of merchandise and product tie-ins they're promoting over there are beyond the level of "ridiculous". I hate to admit it, but I think I'd start to get sick of seeing all of that stuff everywhere I turned. Here in the 'States, I'm used to seeing Happy Meal toys of the latest PG movie to hit the theatres. A few product tie-ins on TV commercials show up, too. Some action figures are frequent, too. Other than that, I really don't see much more. I guess the Japanese really do make Americans look tame when it comes to "otaku-hood".

I was just looking at the Blu-rays for these movies at Walmart the other day. I remarked to my best friend, who is a HUGE LOTR fan, about how I would buy the Blu-rays if they were the extended editions, like the DVDs that I have now. Looks like my prayers have been answered Thanks for the link!

Yeah, the music is a cover of "We Will Win", or whatever it's called, from Robotech. That's the song Minmei sings during the battle in episode 27 of SDFM.

How come the VF-27 is not referred to as the YF-27 at this point? It hasn't yet been officially announced to the public.

Haha... Nurse Sheryl dancing on a giant centrifuge. That's awesome. Kreshpy, do you have a super hi-res version of that picture of the Quarter firing its buster cannon? That's prime wallpaper material! -
We've been discussing this in detail in another thread started by Sketchley. I am too lazy to link it to you, but you'll find it on the list of topics in this forum.

Y'know, is it just me, or does Ranka's costume resemble Wendy Ryder's from MII?

This conversation sounds familiar...

I was in the understanding that reaction weaponry was always pair-annihilation... Matter-antimatter bombs. It appears that the printed material is conflicting with itself on several occasions.

We all hear the stories of fathers in rural towns greeting potential suitors to their daughters by sitting on the front porch, polishing the family shotgun. My father told me of when he went to pick up my mother on their first date... My mother is Nicaraguan. Down there, they don't really use shotguns. My father told me that her father was sitting on the front porch, cleaning his MACHETE. I could totally see Max polishing his VF's gunpod as some pimply-faced teenage boy disembarks from his busted-ass conveyance to pick one of his daughters up for a date.

Apparently, the gist of it is that Zentraedi genes are extremely dominant when choosing the sex of interracial children. Poor Max... you'd think that he'd request that they use this "infinite genetic knowledge" acquired from the Protoculture to alter the development of one of his kids while its sex has not yet been determined by the development process. Oh well... maybe he just didn't like to mess with the genes of his kids... or he didn't mind the fact that he would not have any sons. I might be inclined to make that concession if I had the hots for a gorgeous alien woman.

Well, before a mod comes in and sets the subject back on track, I just want to say that I think it's awesome that many of the members of the board here contribute so much of their free time to make the Macross franchise more-readily available to the rest of us. By "readily-available", I mean that they create supplementary guides that help us better-understand the material, not spread copies of an intellectual property. Also, I think it's awesome that many of these members are willing to pay a HIGHER premium for media and merchandise than usual, simply because they live in the United States or whatever wonderful country they live in, which is outside of Japan (which is also a wonderful country). A product is only worth what its purchaser is willing to pay for it. This famous quote says a lot about the importance they put in the franchise. I think it's great to have a place where I can come to discuss all things Macross with other members who are devoted to the dissemination of Macross fandom. I thought I was a big fan of the series until I found this forum last year. Those of you who have been fans for so long and have made it a point to buy every piece of merch they can get their hands on, I salute your devotion. I only envy the fact that you guys have the means to financially support your fandom. Even you guys who advocate against illegal pirating have looked the other way when we were posting links download copies to the first Frontier movie. Sometimes, you guys do get elitist attitudes over the pirating thing, and sometimes it's not that important to enforce. If you didn't, it would probably run rampant all over this board. So, for those of you who are on both sides of the issue, I'd just appreciate that at least some people care enough to curb that detrimental behavior. Not all people who download copies are worthless parasites; I'm one of them. However, I will definitely spend my scarce income to support the franchise at every opportunity. Just because I don't have much money to spend and I cannot understand the language, doesn't make pirating "okay", though. Let's not get delusional.

Macross Official Setting and the Expanded Universe
frothymug replied to sketchley's topic in Movies and TV Series
By this logic, then nothing SDFM-related should be considered full canon. They'd belong in the XU category, IMO. -
Did anyone else get a horribly spelled and grammatically incorrect message from someone trying to spoil the movie for those of us who are waiting? Thankfully, I was prepared for such a thing and didn't even bother to comprehend it once I realized what it was. I don't even remember what the message said; I had to sit there and figure out what kind of information it was trying to convey before I realized what it was.
-
I was successful in waiting for the first movie to come out on DVD/BD. From what I had seen, there wasn't much in the way of spoilers to the movie... or at least the details of what happen in the movie. I've been mentally preparing myself for the wait ever since I saw the first movie with subtitles. I doubt I'm the only one who feels that way about spoilers, too.

Macross Official Setting and the Expanded Universe
frothymug replied to sketchley's topic in Movies and TV Series
How can Macross the First and SDFM both be in the official setting? Does this mean that you consider SDFM to be the official story? DYRL was basically a dramatic retelling of the series, if someone had come along some decades later and made a movie about Space War I? I could see Macross the Ride as being able to nestle itself nicely within the official setting. I'm sure that its story will have little to do with the outcome of Macross Frontier, even though we may see some characters intersect with MF characters. -
I'm prepared to wait the year or so before it hits DVD/Blu-ray and gets translated. I'm just worried that I'm going to see a spoiler somewhere before then. I wonder if we'll have to censor any scans of related material as it gets posted here on the site? Sometimes, those can give away the story. Fanart might do it, too!
-
It's just a redirect to another website built to look like a virus scanner. God kills a kitten every time one of those damn things attempts to bilk you out of your money, but they don't care...
-
I approve of these scans. The battroid finally makes an appearance. Looks pretty sweet.

Had you seen Macross Zero when you made that video? Just curious about that part where he was chasing his gunpod down as it fell to the ground.
-
I showed my Zero to my mother a few months ago and she really liked it alot! However, I tried to get her to watch DYRL several weeks later, and she couldn't stay awake It seems that each show has elements that appeal to slightly different crowds. Doing that while maintaining the same game-winning formula of Macross has got to account for something!
