I always meant to get both the Albion and Musai sets, but never got around to getting them. I did however, buy Re-GZ set.

After knowing about its existence for as long as I've been an anime fan (29 years to be exact), I finally got to see Space Carrier Blue Noah. I found it to be pretty enjoyable even though it was the English dub version of it, Thunder Sub.

Funny how Tommy Yune is praising this fan film one minute, then the next minute, they get a C & D order. Talk about two-faced!

I wonder what his spin on this is going to be.

And of course HG lackey Maverick_LSC tries to claim that Harmony Gold had nothing to do with C&D order.

Never saw a spoiler I liked. Almost always ruins the lines of the car.

For me, it's totally dependent on the car. The worst offenders are those awful after-market aluminum wings that people put on cars that were never meant to have a spoiler in the first place. Generally, I'm okay with them if they're specifically made for the car by the cars original manufacturer.

$6.95 a month for Crunchyroll is a giant monthly fee?!

Most of these opinions in this thread are definitely the results of various musical tastes.

As far as Megumi Nakajima and May'n are concerned, I personally think that Megumi us the better singer. To me, May'n sounds a bit too nasally and it always sounds to me that she's struggling to hit the high notes.

At $55 that sounds like a store that I know of. They charge $100 for Gundam kits that cost about 3500 yen.

I really enjoyed Chie Kajiura singing in 7. While I certainly don't hate her, May'n is probably my least favorite singer that's performed in Macross.

By the way, Mari was 19 when she was in the original Macross.

can someone explain a few things? the reference to a Icandaran sister? the Gam/Iscan chick's kneeling action upon realizing what or who is depected in the image player. and Yuki stepping up to save the soldier from getting (more) corperal punishment for some misconduct (i assume the mere talking with Yuki while she was still in the brig).

Yuki was captured by Garmilas soldiers infiltrating the Yamato after being mistaken for Starsha's sister, Yurisha, who was aboard the Yamato.

Domel's wife kneels because she recognizes Starsha, Iscandar's Queen in the image player.

The soldier wasn't being disciplined for misconduct, he was being beaten by the warden of the prison planet after insisting that he complete his mission to escort Yuki. The warden sees him as being inferior since he is from one of the colony worlds and not a pure-blooded Garmilus. Since they all think Yuki is Yurisha, she uses this to her advantage to stop the soldier from being unjustly beaten.

I really like the way that new Impreza looks, actually.

On another note and going back to a previous post the other day, I saw an R33 GT-R today during my travels. For some reason, it was missing its spoiler and had some funky-looking aftermarket ground effects on it. That now makes 1 R32, 1 R33, and 2R34s in my area.

Japan is really a funky place, too bad that they hate non-japanese people because I would really like to live there.

I have many non-Japanese friends that are currently living in Japan and get along quite well with the locals.

She's too damn adorable!

When it first aired, Cowboy Bebop used to be on much earlier than it is now, over a decade ago.

Here is a build-up link to a 1/100 SMS Jagd Doga resin kit:

Looks good, but a modern MG version would not only be easier to build, but much more articulated . . .

Not to mention a lot cheaper!

Great shot Cap, the Sazabi is my favorite mecha design of all time. I think I need to get this kit.

Is there any chance they will do a 1/100 MG Jagd Doga? I always liked that design as well . . .

I'm hoping so! Even though it took awhile, they did release a MG Geara Doga, so I don't see why they won't eventually get around to the Jagd Doga.

I know people are starting to bring over R32 Nissan Skyline's now thanks to the 25 year import rule.

Does this rule vary by state, or is it a federally-imposed one?

There's at least one R32 Skyline in my area, as well as two R34s. I started seeing them around here about 5 years ago. I know that the R32 and one of the R34s are owned by the same person.

Are there any 22Bs in North America? In Canada, you can bring it over as long as it's 15 yrs old.

Yes, there is. The video mentions this right in the beginning at around the 37 second mark.

I just finished watching the first episode and really liked what I saw.

Sci-fi Sengoku period? Sounds kinda like what Southern Cross was supposed to be before the toy sponsors demanded a change to transforming futuristic mecha.

It's actually a mix of that plus a few European historical figures such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Ferdinand Magellan, and Joan (Jeanne, since they're using her French name) of Arc (who's the female lead of the series).

If you think that Valvrave is the worst anime of all time, you haven't seen enough anime.

I totally loved it, myself. I have absolutely no problems with them adding things that weren't in the book. If I'm going to complain about anything, it's the fact that we have to wait until next December to see the third part.

I liked it, too, but it didn't live up to its potential. Although I did see it mentioned somewhere that the series was originally written as a 24-26 episode series, but was cut down to 11 at the last minute.

I'm quite surprised at the price tag. I was expecting it to be higher!

Even after almost 30 years, the second Zeta Gundam OP is my favorite.
