Wow, very cool, hardcore.

The idea of moving the frame forward wouldnt work for Macross. Starting with the fact that the VF-1 was kinda like a successor to the F-14 and the timeline is set across the board if you think about the sequels. I think that's why they didn't do it for The First comic book.

I disagree here, aesthetics aside, if you look at the basic structure of the VF-1 fighter it is clearly based on the F-14, but because of the arms, has a solid body like the F-22. One could even say that and the time mecha technology is so new that the F-14 wing design makes for a logical start with. It really doesn't matter what time they come out.

For a reboot VF-1 I'd keep the basic design, though incorporate some F-22 design aesthetics to keep up with the times, i.e. stealthy and such. JMTC.

What legal dispute? Any disputes have been resolved for the past 5 years (And yes, we have a thread for the "legal dispute").

I mean fix it so that we can have it in English and sold in North America without Disharmony screwing with it... I for one don't mind subs, but my boy can't follow them.

Yes, I know that there is a thread on it, my point isn't about discussing that BS, only wishing that in a Reboot, that it'd go away so we can have it where I live without any BS...

I'd be up for a reboot.

I think if they did, i think they should bump the whole timeline. Have the U.N. and Anti-coalition forces go to war in 2013, with the SDF-1 crash landing in 2019. Update the anime to modern standards, and expand on some of the story line and the battles and the tech, having it run 2-3 seasons or something. Make it a bit darker like Battlestar Galactica 2.0 (I know that was mentioned), but still keep the space opera feel.

A must would be to settle this stupid legal dispute, it really doesn't make sense as we have a couple OVA's in the US that technically contradict HG's vision (Mplus and II).
