VF-15 Banshee

Aya Endo totally dissed me.

Did she kick your dog?

So i just listened to all of episode 5... that was a heck of a thing.

Speaking of Gundam, I would agree with one of the points you made about art imitating life. Gundam AGE is failing in Japan because Sunrise and Bandai didn't do their market research before the show aired and when the ratings started tanking for their target audience (pre-teen boys) they did a survey and found out, guess what? Pre-teen boys don't care much for anime about wars and space colonies and such. At least that's what i read.

Uh oh, Psycho Gundam is NEVER a good thing...

There is no specific date for the launch of the Megaroad-01, right? Just September, 2012?

I think we all wanted Naughty Instructor Sheryl.

I dislike how the new opening portrays Milia with her red UN Spacey uniform and VF-1 in the new intro. Its too much of a spoiler.

The statute of limitations expired back in 1993.

Guys. guysguysguysguys.

Looks like Lancel finally updated Wings of the Fairy.

I agree that, given how fanatical the Vagan are about their goals, I wouldn't be surprised if it was actually, "wipe out those Earthling scum." 'Course I bet you they're not allowed to say that because this is technically a kid's show. (Even though they seem to be miserably failing in that department.)

I really am interested in this new Diva bridge crew, especially poor adorable Captain Natora (after all that's been said, I'm not touching that last name; what is it with this show and their frakking names?!) Especially goes to highlight how bland the last bridge crew was.

I'm actually rewatching AGE from episode 1 and it's interesting to see things begin to crystalize somewhat. So that was probably Decil in his Zedas at Nora right? And how did Yurin already know how to use her abilities? And Emily! At least she had spunk and I have a whole new level of respect for her, especially when it shows kust how bland, flat, boring and useless Romary was. And Dique swimming through microgravity was hilaribad.

Hell man, Id just show up

Seconded.

FUS-RO-DAH!

Not mine, just found it.

Then the USA and Nato are terrorists considering the amount of civilian targets and political assassinations they've done since WW2? Regardless if "accident", they "terrorized" innocent people with bombing raids and etc.

How about we not bring real-life into a discussion of a space science-fiction cartoon?

ANSWER GET!

Yes, the engine room of the Venator-class Star Destroyer is modeled on the Gravity Control room aboard the SDF-1 Macross. This bit of trivia was, in fact, announced in the trivia section of StarWars.com's page for the ninth episode of the Star Wars: the Clone Wars animated series. Quote from the website is as follows, and the page can be accessed directly here.

(Thanks to jaymz from the Palladium Books forums for his help with this one!)

MIND. BLOWN. The Force is with Macross!!!

Wouldn't those have been MiM-31 Karyovin Fighters?

Wasn't that just a retcon that didn't make sense given past history to justify the anti-UNG having model kits, er, I mean VFs in MZero?

Is it true that the engine room of the Venator-class Star Destroyer is modeled after the Gravity Control System of the SDF-1 Macross?

Granted, space is vast and three-dimensional... but when the chips are down, people tend to think two-dimensionally*

That's why you should take Doc Brown's advice and think four-dimensionally!

Hell, I'd arrange for Hikaru, as much as I like the guy, to have a little "accident" for her!!!

Don't judge. After all who wouldn't kill Riber for THIS...

Your argument is hard to refute sir!

Vajra poo.

Can't that be used as a fuel source?

You know I'm starting to see why Kaifun had so many problems with the UNG and the UN Spacy. Still doesn't change the fact he's a douche though.

Oh, see you on Sunday.

I will go to Parco after seeing Nakajima-san at Ikebukuro.

Say hi to her from all the rest of us!

Used lin.... OMG

What's REALLY in the tins?

Makes me wonder what would happen if the Zentradi had shown up five years early.

Not terribly unbelievable, considering how destructive Kamikaze attacks were when it was just aluminum planes ramming into steel aircraft carriers WITHOUT carrying several tons of explosive and an active fusion reactor. I imagine those probably make the "boom" when it crashes rather bigger.

Remember, Valkyrie Addict, that little big scene in Return of the Jedi where an A-Wing pilot does the same thing and brings down a 19 kilometer Dreadnought?

Pretty sure it was her ass...

Probably both.
