Spring schedule eh? Sounds reasonable.

Too bad they didn't couldn't make things a bit more retro. The pilots and uniformed people are fine, but the marines and flight crews look too modern. It would have been nice if they gave them a WWII-look to those guys. It would be nice if they made the flight crews wear the old olive-drabs than the highlighter jumpsuits. Like these guys working in the background. If the marines were wearing Vietnam-era olive drabs with a FAMAS, then that would have felt retro. I'm a nitpicker, sorry. I can hear RDM now saying there wasn't enough money....

This sequence alludes to her saying good-bye to her old life and a look back at each defining moment of her life. If you notice that some of the flashbacks were of her leaving her parents. Much of the sequence seeing Minmay's life through her POV, i.e. we see things through Minmay's eyes. What we see is that Minmay has always had to leave a bit of herself behind to move forward. She grows up a little bit each time. It's how she moves forward. The sequence is more figurative than literal.

Not that I know of, but we are trying to save ourselves any potential headaches. Section IV (trades/sales section) took us the longest....

The VA-14 is listed as the precursor to the Az-130 so it's not "likely"; it is. And I won't be surprised if the silhouette of a VA-14 is almost identical to the silhouette of a Az-130. Shape of the wings, size of the engines, etc.

The VFs in the M+ ep. 3 pic look like VF-14s. From description of the VA-14 (linky), the frame and bulk is greater than the VF-14. There is also a redesigned wing. The Az-130 seems to correspond to this. Those pictured don't appear to have the bulk that is described. They look like a what we've seen and correspond to the VF-14. So, my point to this is, we've never really seen a VA-14.

That issue uses the M7+ version of the VF-14 (is also labeled). I have that issue.

Neither. We never see a VA-14. All we know is that the Az-130 is based off the VA-14 from production notes.

Little spoiler from Sy-Fy Portal Now...

M7...sorta. The VA-14 served as the VF for which the Az-130 Panzerzorene was based on. As far as I know, the images that we use for the VA-14 were taken from a magazine scan. And we are talking about a scan that was done about 10 years ago.

Yes...but, they initially thought the Fz-109s were derivatives from the VF-4 considering the path they were on was in the same direction as Megaroad-01. This was later disproved. There was an episode where a tabloid/gossip magazine ran several articles about Fire Bomber. One was that Basara was Minmay/Hikaru's love child. Later it was Gamlin and Basara were secret lovers.....See, even in 2045, there's still the tabloids. Too true. I'm fine with the fact the PS2 game recasted Kenji Nojima for Hikaru, but for an actual animated feature, no. It would be like recasting Amuro or Char from Gundam. IMO, it won't feel right.

No.

I'm considering it so don't change that channel. I may even de-pin the this thread considering that we may not get any news until this time next year.

They can't fit in THAT many mechs.

At the bottom of the forum home page, there is a section called "Board Statistics". In there you will find a link for "The Moderating Team". (or go here). You can PM us at any time. Also, please refrain from using the forum as way to contact people. Edit: Resolved.

But as we've seen, the BDI/BCS is too sensitive to even the most subdued thoughts. In other words, just cuz you think about it, doesn't mean you should do it. If Isamu got pissed off and thought about rampaging, the BDI/BCS might have picked up that brain activity and acted on it. Also, it was the YF-21 No. 2 that had a BDI/BCS. YF-21 No. 1 used a conventional system. However, No. 2 was the model that was promoted by General Galaxy. Agreed, but the fact that he is wild and reckless might have caused even more problems for the YF-21.

Haro was in CCA. I think it ended up in Noah's possession.

From the character description, Haro is an R2 unit.

Max would be the best overall. He is a Jenius after all (yeah, bad pun). Roy would would be second to Max. Roy is good, but he's not a natural like Max (or Millia). He was second to DD and DD taught Roy. Basara is good but he lacks the experience that Max or Millia had. Considering he can sing and pilot at the same, he's got the skill, but he lacks the experience that the others have. Isamu is cocky and a risk-taker compared to the previously mentioned. I see Isamu as the Jedi who twirls and does fancy moves with his lightsaber while Max or Roy just go for the straight cut and end the fight.

I'm watching it. I liking it so far.

SDFM:Remember Me and 2036 are olde games which MII follows. Both games are considered non-canon. http://macross.anime.net/production/software/index.html

Yes, and only in MII. VF-4G? That we can't be sure. We are not sure when the G-version came about in the VF-4's service life except that it was still in service by 2047. The VF-4 probably never made it out in time for SWI. The VF-X-4 entered into development in 2005 and most development was halted due Earth being bombarded. There is a chance that combat-ready test models were in the field but their numbers were probably very very very very very small (I would think no more more than 10 units). The VF-0s that were left were most likely deployed and remained on the UN Naval fleets. Considering that the VF-0 wasn't as space worthy (or economical) as its younger brother, the VF-1, the remaining VF-0s probably stayed Earth-bound. The Cheyennes most likely stayed Earth-bound as well serving in more hostile areas.

Anybody having trouble with OpenDNS's DNS? I couldn't connect to MW last night and switching back to my ISP's DNS seem to fix the problem.

Funny you should say that cuz Unicorn's paint scheme doesn't seem to require a terrible amount of paint...
