    Have you tried looking on Tokyo Toshokan or NyaaTorrents?

    I never said posting subs was bad. Only asking for it. Especially since we didn't have an answer when they would be out.

    On that note, anybody who believes ANY Macross to be hardcore sci-fi should be dragged out on the street and shot. Heck, almost no anime falls into "real mecha" or "hardcore sci-fi".

    That's the current trend in entertainment these days??? I kid...I kid...

    HG holding the name rights pales in comparison to the music issue. The bulk of the money needed to get the music is probably the majority or equal to the amount needed just to get the series by itself. The running "gag" of licensing 7 was 1 company could work on one episode and another could work on another and another could work on another and...etc., then 7 could be licensed properly. I wouldn't say popularity plays an issue, but when you hear "Macross", "music" also comes to mind and that alone would probably increase the price.

    Well, mainly 7 and probably Frontier, suffer from an additional and more defining money issue...as in most companies probably don't have the money to tackle the series AND music. With 7, because they used Chie Kajiura, Yoshiki Fukuyama and his band, HUMMING BIRD, the music presents a roadblock. Likewise, Frontier used May Nakabayashi and Megumi Nakajima (and she doubled as singer AND VA), both whom probably have recording contracts on top of the songs they sang, probably aren't going to be cheap. And then you have to throw in the Fire Bomber and Minmay songs that were used. And if you want some perspective on that, at its worst, an episode of Glee costs up to $3-million, thanks to music licensing and choreography. And if I recall RDM's comments about Battlestar Galactica, a typical episode of that show ranged from $1-2 million with the bulk of the money in CGI/SFX. And IIRC some comments made about 7 from about 10 years ago, most companies back then could only allocate enough money to cover 4 episodes. After that, they would probably run out of money for it. So if one were to get around the licensing issues, you would have to deal with the music.

    So who was the one who took their stalking stake-out eyes off Graham? We keep telling you to keep those eyes on those monitors and watch when Graham goes out to dinner with Yamato.

    Fire Bomber. It so powerful, it stops pineapples.

    Tommy Yune came to present a Using Photoshop panel, not as a HG representative.

    If they go with the "alien tech" route with the Mandarin, then it could work. Cuz in the 1st film, Tony had the advanced tech. The 2nd film had someone else matching his tech. The 3rd film can have someone with technology beyond the Iron Man technology.

    +1. Never knew we had a litmus test for fandom.

    Heck, even when asked by the by the judge, BW said no one from BW participated in the actual production of SDFM.

    I Feel The Need For A "Top Gun" Sequel (Dark Horizons) This is the 1 part of the article I find funny:

    A movable waist hopefully? It includes water-slide decals and is a slight repaint of the original Mk II v 2.0. It's more matte and comes with water-slide decals. But the mold used is the original 2001 MG release and not the Hyaku Shiki + Ballute System mold.

    Frakin' New Guy. We have no problem with using "Frak".

    #1, It's a show, i.e. fiction, where planes turning into giant robots. How is that even plausible? #2, Clarke's 3rd law, Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. It should be quite obvious that Protoculture is far more advanced than humans.

    So if I spend money on overhead, materials cost, manufacturing costs, tooling costs, design and engineering costs, marketing costs, licensing costs, warehousing costs, business expenses costs, etc., etc., etc., and release that product to the public and the profit I get is less than the amount used to make it, would that be an effective use of the license? No. Not for me.
  19. azrael
    Fixed. Manufacturing builds are normally cheaper when done in bulk. So unless you are planning on selling lots, the answer is no. The VF-0D, as Graham mentioned in another thread, actually requires retooling over the majority of the VF-0 design. Yamato's response to Graham.

    These accidents aren't helping either...neither are the insurance bills....
  21. azrael
    So they're tired of doing remakes and now on to 20-year-later sequels?
  22. azrael
    Thank you! [mumbles]bout effin time they release it...make me wait...[/mumble]
  23. azrael
    I saw the first Iron Man episode. Meh.

    A greater arc-of-fire without the need to use verniers to move the gun. Moving it on a turret is much better than moving the ENTIRE ship. The 2nd being the more important factor, connecting the gun to the main reactors. While the Gunships of the Battle class can fire independently and in ship mode, their output is reduced because the Gunships are using their own power systems. By connecting them to the main ship reactors, they can speed up the re-fire rate and increase the output. Like VFs in fighter mode where power is diverted to the engines, power is dedicated to the engines in ship mode for the larger vessels. When transformed, power that originally went to the main engines can be diverted to offensive and defensive systems.

    He might wanna hide from David.
