I could always ask RDM to tell me who the final Cylon is and spare me the weeks of waiting... I would treat that scene more as Ozma knew Alto wanted to do something more. He could have told Alto right then and there but it won't have done Alto any good. Alto would continue looking on without a way to do what he wants to do. Ozma gave Alto a chance. Ozma may not even know what the Vajra are but the least he can do is help Alto find the answer to his question or perhaps all of their questions.

According to the blog, the June edition of Newtype (on shelves May 10, hey ain't that the one where the naming contest winner is announced... ), it's gonna be a very big article on Macross F. 11 pages of article if I'm reading that right.

It really depends on how well it does. So far there hasn't been much talk of a second season, but that's a bit early to tell.

AOne/Gekkostate/Menclave have released their SD AVI so those of your having issues with earlier releases may with to try this smaller release.

Zinjo It's a note in the Compendium. http://macross.anime.net/wiki/VF-25 Graham Yeh, things have a tendency to get lost around here. Mr. March Just so you understand, that was just 1 machine translator I took that text back to then and translating the jumbled English into some coherent sentences gives me a headache to no end. I scrutinize those machine translators much more now and I run them through using a gauntlet of of machine translators (and it gives me a bigger headache). But it's no substitute for someone who actually can read the original Japanese text. If I ran that line through the gauntlet now and tried to formed a sentence, it reads more like this: "Its form is reminiscent of the VF-1 but it can be said that its combat performance makes it a legitimate successor to the VF-19 and VF-22 series." This is using Google, BizLingo (Excite), Yahoo, Livedoor, Fresh-EYE, Dictionary.com, Alta-Vista, and So-net to translate. It's also something that was on the Info page on the official website. So it may not make it to the official texts for the VF-25 (they have removed a couple posts on that page).

Nothing wrong...but you're in the wrong spot. At this point, I would forget the AiA-IZ sub (Even I had problems playing back their version of episode 1). I would watch the Shinsen sub. It's an AVI. Or wait for AOne/Gekkostate/Menclave to release the SD AVI.

The contest has officially ended. The winning entry will be announced in Newtype, in stores May 10, 2008 and on the official MF website.

Maybe we should wait for the liner notes for names....

And among other things... We are waiting for the actual single, which will be release in the coming week. Everything out there right now is a rip of some video.

It's flashier but about the same as AiA's. They do release smaller SD AVI files after releasing the HD .mkvs (although, I find the fact that MF isn't even broadcasted in HD funny since we see all the up converted HD encodes). It also appears they are using the TBS broadcast, not the MBS.

Normally, there's less armor on the head. Although the main body is a bigger target, it may have more armor.

This episode was a nice closer to the story arc they had running.

12 colonies of man (12 Cylon skinjobs). The 13th colony (the fleet) heading toward Earth. When that Centurion was wiping the blood off the wall, there seem to be some resentment in it's movements. The original Cylon models were "pets" of the Colonies before they rebelled.

SEED, SEED-Destiny, G, etc. But current Gundam series aren't doing as well in the US (unlike Canada, which is actually re-airing GSD again). So it's gonna be interesting how 00 is going to do in the US, considering how marketing anime in the US is currently in a period of financial hardships at the moment.

Cylon civil war.... "This has all happened before and will happen again." Anybody got the feeling that the Centurians and Raiders are scheming something?

And no, I'm not $hitting you.

I don't mind Storm Shadow's business suit/street clothes, but the battle suit....needs a stinkin mask. And now Snake-Eyes in better light....I'm not liking the skin tight mask cuz I see his mouth almost too clearly.

Crap, forgot it was streamed 3 hours ago. Oh well.

Fine. It's frakin anime magic. End of debate. You happy now?

FlyUpload has been added for the Shinsen sub release (AVI) for those who want a non-Bittorrent download. See the first post. Thank you DJ Loe Kee.

Storm Shadow.....needs mask.

*Note* I'll be adding download links to the opening theme "Triangler" in this week's and next week's thread. It will be in stores April 23rd, 2008. Look for them in the first post.

No. But I guarantee it will show up on Tokyo Toshokan. I'll also add it to this week's and next week's episode thread (in the 1st post) when it pops up .

Are we done with this "rude" stuff or shall I get some coffee?
