You people love going off on tangents don't ya. Macross 25 hasn't even seen the light of day and is somewhere in production... Where is all this talk of "if it goes to Blu-Ray/HD-DVD" , "Is there a chance of an English track", "They can market it in the West" coming from? It hasn't even aired on TV yet and we don't even know if it's going to do well on TV yet. I wanna see how good this show is going to be first before I even get down to video releases.

We know already ... Look here: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=21339 The hype around Gundam 00 is probably gonna drown out Macross 25 for the moment. Considering that the lead voice actress is getting introduced at the concert in August, I'm expecting them to be somewhat tight-lipped about info until after the concert.

Haven't seen anybody post this link yet. BotCon interview with the writers @ Wizard Magazine

Do none of you get the picture? Keith gets muted for 48-hours. I will start issuing bans if this continues. Now back to the subject of the 25th anniversary. 25th anniversary editions of the Hasegawa VF-1S and YF-19 are now up for pre-order at Hobby Search. VF-1S YF-19

I have muted (i.e. he is restricted from posting) Zinjo for 24 hours. This thread isn't about the marketing of older series. Save that for another thread. Not quite my fellow Jedi...It is the sense of banning you feel.

Ummm me too. Firefox 2.0.0.4

Beast Wars introduced lots of concepts to Transformers, to which I'm still debating on whether they had relevance in the movie.

And you wonder why I'm just waiting for an official announcement.... Also, this wouldn't be the first time Kawamori has revised the official timeline. He revised it when he did M7 and that allowed for M0. But considering that "20XX" appeared in that screenshot, I'm guessing this series might be be far enough away from the the current timeframe of M7/VF-X2 to not have any ties to any older series except name and concept. Going by the fact that the target audience has probably not seen SDFM or were too young when M7 appeared, I would see this as a reboot for the modern audience, not us. He may still keep within the general continuity but he's moved this series out far enough to not be influenced by any previous TV series. On that note, have any of you guys questioned where anybody is getting these rumors? Some of it is coming off the Chinese forums which may be coming off the 2ch boards or official Macross boards. So there's a bit of lost-in-translation syndrome there.

The problem is that they cut out portions of the story. I read the prequel comic and the movie comic adaption so I got all the fillers from those. But they never addressed why Prime called Megatron "brother" all of a sudden at the end. In other material, they addressed that. In the movie, it came out of the blue. I think the problem is they cut out parts that flowed and kept parts that didn't necessarily need to be there. They need an extended cut for this movie... IIRC, Prime was fine after falling off the overpass....

Too late for that...we already have Macross II. Hummingbird.....I wonder if that symbol was used due to a certain music group that did music for Macross....

It's definitely HK. One of the sponsors is http://www.danielco.com.hk/ It's probably best to ask Graham about it.

I'm pretty sure it is. The emblem and markings look like it's geared toward the 25th anniversary.

You can only talk about Macross 25 or 25th Anniversary events in this thread. Nothing else. Now for the awful/horrible/I-should-be-killed-for-using-these-things machine translations: Chinese: 你只能谈麦克罗斯25或25周年纪念活动在此线. 你不能谈论什么. 请启动一个新的课题,如果你想谈什么东西. Japanese: マクロス25だけ述べることができるまたはこれの第25記念日のでき事は通る。 何か他のもの述べることができない。 何か他のもの述べたいと思ったら新しいトピックを始めなさい。

Think of it this way, where ever Basara goes, you can be sure Gamlin and Mylene will be right behind him...to help or lecture him....That scene was a crowd teaser which goes with question of who does she chose, to which we will get no real answer.

During the live interview IIRC, when the movie was in production, the writers said we would see this. But in the movie, . So I'm guessing it was due to the length of the movie and they cut out a lot of the film

Because it originally did not have spoilers and was started almost 2 years ago. The spoiler ban will be lifted Monday after which time, you are free to post without the spoiler tags. Until then, we are giving people enough time to go watch it.

Tom DeSanto has said in a recent interview that he would like to bring in the Dinobots and Constructicons (i.e. Devastator) if he is given an opportunity for the next movie. So consider some of those designs as extras. http://www.darkhorizons.com/news07/070607p.php

This is due to the fact that your pics are attachments to your post and not a images from a external site (which use the "img" tag). Attachments are automatically reduced to thumbnails. This is different from Swoosh's concern as he is displaying pics from a external website using the "img" tag and they are dynamically reduced to fit the screen. Example: This is a pic from the magazine scans (from some place that is not the forums): Here's the same one as an attachment (notice "Attached thumbnails" at the bottom): Anything you send from your computer to the forums is an attachment and is resized to a thumbnail. Images that are on the net somewhere and are displayed on the forums using "img" tags are just dynamically resized to fit the screen.

The skin (and all of its parts) of the board is being worked on. Right now, priority is on the database for 5GB of attachments that needs to be rebuilt.

David, if you have an example of where your pics are being reduced to thumbnail size, let me know and I'll look at it under my laptop's screen or under a different resolution.

BTW, we now have spoiler tags built into this version of IPB. So you can hide your spoilers now without resorting to fancy font changes.

Thanks to UN Spacy for this find of a promotional poster for the 25th anniversary concert: (Click on the thumbnail for a larger version)

After some testing, the resizing is based on your current monitor resolution. The reason Hurin or myself probably don't see the problem as well is probably due to the fact that we are using monitors running at a higher resolution. I noticed I had the resizing on a few images. Since your pics are greater than or equal to half of your current monitor resolution (713 is larger than 1/2 of 1024 and 1/2 of 1280), the images are resized. I don't mind this since it would eliminate the need to scroll. My suggestion would be to use an an image hosting site's thumbnail feature to post pics. You can cram more pics in your posts and you can avoid the whole dynamic resizing thingy.

If he's displaying the pics as attachments, then yes, they would be resized. Hot-linking from a external site should be unaffected. The pic on this page looks fine.
