You haven't seen Earth Defense Family have you?

Look harder. http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_.../vf1/index.html

Bingo. Much like our war movies and such, they are a dramatization of the actual events. Whether or not they are true is left to those who were there. Define "Kawamorish". The man has done a variety of work so what distinguishes him from others?

Because Mikimoto wanted to age Hikaru a bit more. It was like a "grown-up" look.

Most series are usually (especially the year-long or longer ones) still in production by the time they air. What they probably have at this point is the storyline roadmap (they know it will end but they don't know "how" it will end in detail, the writers are working as we speak). By this point, they should have about 25% of the series animated (if their good, perhaps 1/3) done i.e. production. They should have the first 5-8 eps past post-production or at the end of post-production and ready to air (For the TV stations to map out the broadcast schedule). S.E.E.D. = Superior Evolutionary Element Destined-factor

The show hasn't aired and yet rumors have come which sound like they will be coming from the end of the show (which probably hasn't even been written yet).

You could post in the Destiny thread....... It was said by one of the producers that "Destiny" is a name of a Gundam. It will probably replace Impulse (since it will go to Shin/protagonist) but Impulse's fate is really too early to tell at this point. So this would be a half-rumor at this moment. Too early to tell. Rumor. "Man-in-mask" is usually the big rival. Shin and Neo will probably fight in the end. As for the details of their fight....IIRC, Providence was a tight-lipped secret until what...a week before it made it's first appearence. Anything is possible at this point. (They should be about 1/3 done with the series already) Athrun does steal Savior but I'm not sure about those details and it looks like Athrun gets Savior right at the beginning. This makes it sound a little farther down the road. Kira piloting Buster and an upgraded Freedom...I thought Kira is suppose to be like Amuro in Zeta...We'll see though.

I won't say evil clone yet, but I will say, our masked man most likely has a big connection to Mu/LeCrueset. What that connection may be....we'll see. Although....it could be LeCrueset back from the grave (do a frame-by-frame, Kira actually missed his mark with that beam saber).....

reflex != Macross. Reflex == Robotech. There are no such things as "Reflex" in Macross.

Reflex reactors? Reflex engines? I think you have the wrong group.... I think these are the people you want: http://www.robotech.com Otherwise, read this: http://www.anime.net/macross/

Let the kids have their fun. Most of us old-timers will just sit back and let the kids make fools of themselves.

...No comment.....

Do you have ActiveX running on your browser (assuming your browser is IE)?

100% unofficial. Yeah, to sell more kits and for lazy people who don't want to take the time to repaint one of their kits.

Neither, it's a custom paint scheme. Use the search button next time. There have been several threads about this in addition to being asked in the newbie thread. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=4520 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=9202 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=140

Well duh....

We were both wrong. It's actually the SUPA GUNDAMU CONDAM!!! IIRC, didn't that thing come from the crouch area of the MS?

Actually, I like how it just doesn't end. Given the stand-alone nature of the episodes, I liked how the format was with the original series. Although, it does leave me wanting more (As in, "So, what will the Knight Sabers encounter next?"), the ending of each episode leaves me satisfied.

I said it was a primer. I didn't say that's how they work in Macross.

We don't do "Versus" threads here. And I suggest you don't start. Gundam has it's own set of technology, rules, and anime physics. Macross has it's own as well. If you mix the 2, it ruins the "rules" of the series. Gundam doesn't use Song energy in combat situations. Macross doesn't use mentally-controlled funnels/bits (drones have appeared in MII, however, they are not funnels or bits) to fight. If you start mixing the 2, you have to rework the "rules" to fit. We don't do that here.

There was a lengthy discussion about how a valks engines work way back. Here's a primer: http://science.howstuffworks.com/fusion-propulsion.htm

2 different things here. According to what Egan said in the show, they came up with the idea for GERWALK when they went skiing and they thought it would be a cool thing to have. The whole part about the toy was how they realized from the concept. IIRC from the MMD book, they had already came up with the idea of GERWALK. Kawamori just couldn't figure how to make it work, which is where the toy came in. Now on to other points: Not everyone has seen M0, compared to SDFM and M+, or even MII. Considering how much would have to be covered....I think we can save toys for next time (And between commercials, music and chatting, you can only do so much). You can only cover so much in 1 hour. It's not like the Macross panels. Music has yet to play as strong a role as we have yet to come to episode 5. You can send them e-mail or post your comments on their site: http://www.unwoundshow.com/

Hummm, guess I gotta clear some unfinished models I'm storing off that DVD shelf...

Cuz that's her flight suit. Remember, M7 follows the SDF chronology. Not to mention Millia doesn't look quite as good in a DYRL? flight suit.
