Just the hardcore need apply. Yup, only openings and endings, video games clips, and a teaser for Macross Zero. http://www.anime.net/macross/production/an...eral/index.html First listing on the page.

Child porn.....huh? I'm sorry but I don't see what Darkreeper sees... Visuals were great in this one. Love the nature detail. And finally, some character development and some story. Now where's my DVD....I want those liner notes dammit...

It's DekaBreak. http://www.japanhero.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4373 http://www.japanhero.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=4368

Yes....yes it is.

There is no designation for them. They are just referred to as Macross-# (01, 02, 03, etc).

Hummmm.......intriguing.

Sorry for the delay. I would say blue. In certain light, it would be a heavy blue-green but I would say blue. Most likely a paint scheme. http://www.valkyrie-exchange.com/Hasegawa/...inmayguard.html Perhaps, but that hasn't been made clear as of now. I believe so. Episode 44 of M7 was was filled with some mistakes. Namely the VF-11 leg hardpoints. http://www.anime.net/macross/feedback/index.html It is possible that they were also using a earlier draft of the VF-19's hardpoints. However, the hardpoints of the VF-19 are interchangable with other launcher systems so a VF-19 can carry a wide range of ordanance dependent on the mission specifics.

http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/toys/_bandai_vf17sse.htm I'd PM Graham to get an updated listing on that one.

Because Shawn disabled them. Why? Do you want a member title?

My guess...yes. There's nothing blocking the arms from extending nor is there anything hampering the use of the gunpod.

Different use of the manipulators (arms). The gunpod on the VF-17 is stored in the leg. Ejecting the gunpod is a problem since the angles in which the gunpod could be ejected would make it a challenge to catch the gunpod as it leaves the leg. Now, I didn't say it would be impossible, just a challenge. Looking at the lineart for the VF-17, the swivel joint has clearence from the wing root. In fact, Gamlin used the arms (extended) to catch Mylene while in GERWALK. So it is a matter of preference. Do you want to use the gunpod (arms extended) or would you rather just stick to the arm lasers? In VF-X 2, you get to use the gunpod in GERWALK. In M7, Gamlin prefers to just stick with the arm lasers. Of course, ejecting the gunpod would probably add time (I'm talking seconds) to the transformation from Fighter to GERWALK so I can understand just foregoing the gunpod and sticking with the arm lasers. But, if you like that gunpod in GERWALK, nothing is stopping you from using it.

He probably means VAB-6. There is no such thing as a 'VAB-6', there is a 'VB-6' and 'VAB-2'. So I mistyped the damn thing..... You call it "potato". I call it "patato". http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_.../va3/index.html It's still a VA-3C. With custom mountings.

There is no official specs on any mecha for MII. However, there are production notes in the following books: http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/books/mac2_eb_mac2.htm http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/books/mac_2_tia.htm They may be of use to you.

I'll have to agree with A7 on this one. Gransazer suffers from problems, which Konami hopefully is learning when making a TV-show. First off, 12 heros. That's a lot of people. And right about the time they introduced the Water tribe, I started to see less and less of certain characters. That's a bad thing. Especially if their suppose to be primary characters (although some were, the feeling of the show eventually pushed them into supporting roles and gave them less screen time). Kamen Rider Ryuki did it better. The 13 riders in there were not buddies. They were suppose to eventually eliminate each other so that put a wedge into the relationship between the 13. Twelve "primary" heros are had to juggle with. After 27 episodes, I see that as a real problem. Secondly, we are on what....the 3rd set of villians? It would be nice if all of them were actually part of or controlled by a central figure. At this point, I see each villian acting alone which has made things slightly confusing. Sentai has their "monster of the week". Gransazer has their "villian of the week". Thirdly, action sequences. Their ok. Interesting but ok. And when I say interesting I mean, do the stunt-men/women under rehersh the fight scene? In episode 22 (or was it 23), Logia and Gorbion were fighting. The gorbian stuntman's hands went into a block and held there for a bit of time (I mean about 1.5-2 seconds before the hit came). Regardless of how long he held the block, it was enough for me to notice. I went back and noticed the rest of the fight sequences had similar instances. Although I'm not sure of whether or not the costumes are just a tad too restrictive, the fight sequences look slowed down. If you're gonna make it flashy, put some more speed into those fights. Lastly, story. This follows point #2 but really, what is the point of Gransazer? Are we just going to fight "villians of the week" or is there something that's suppose to be something governing this story besides there are a whole bunch of aliens that want to do unspeakable things to Earth and only the Gransazers can fight them? With Dekaranger, we know the "main villian" is just playing his cards with the Dekarangers yet the Dekarangers still need to piece together the clues. With Kamen Rider Blade, we know the central point is they need to reseal the Undead and no matter the price, their gonna have to fight. With Gransazer, I really don't see a real point to the series. And we are on episode 32. If there is a point to this, you better make it clear. But that's my opinion of Gransazer.

Most likely, these: http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=VICL-61400 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=VICL-61196 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=VICL-61110 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=VICL-61000

That would actually be a 2-seater VF-0A. But for Hasagawa's catalog, it's probably easier for them to label it as a VF-0B.

I can only hope and wish that were so. Even if the license expires, you still have to play the originating company's ball game. And Gainax may not be as nice this time around.

If Enterprise makes it to 4, I seriously doubt we will see a season 5. Of course, I could be eating my words this time next year so who knows. But most of the ramblings I've heard are Enterprise will not be on much longer. It might help that other shows are going off the air this year, but we will know by late May/June whether or not the show will return for season 4. Most networks usually set their fall line-ups around that time.

We haven't seen the VF-1X+ without boosters reach satellite orbit. But, judging by the specs, the VF-1X+ was updated to the engine performance of a VF-5000 and/or VF-11(A/B/C/D note: not D-Custom, i.e Jamming Birds Custom). The only VFs we have seen reach satellite orbit without booster assistance have been the later model VFs (11MAXL and Custom, 14, 17, 19, 22). The FAST packs on the VT-1C in MD7 appear less intrusive than the original VT-1 FAST packs (boosters are smaller and not attached to the backpack, leg packs are smaller in width allowing a "straight" leg as opposed to a "bent" leg of earlier VF/VT-1 FAST packs).

It's still a VA-3C.....

He probably means VAB-6. http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/index.html

This would be close to what I believe Anima Spiritia is. It's not a god-like ability. To me, it's a state of mind. The amount of emotion Basara puts into his singing generates a substantial amount of Spiritia-energy. There is no doubt in his mind. The determination Basara puts into his singing is without a doubt, a lot. His mind is clear and focused. When you look at the rest of the group in Fire Bomber, they all seem to be lacking some degree of focus. Mylene is confused about who she loves and how to handle the situation. Ray, after the lost of Stephen, can't force himself to pull a gun or fight as he did. In an episode early in the series, Ray had a chance to pull the trigger on someone, yet he hesitated. Vefidas was wandering without a goal. She started out as a street fighter, wandering the galaxy fighting whoever stepped up to the plate. Basara doesn't seem to have that problem. There are times when the he loses his focus in the series (i.e. the test of the hero), yet he prevails eventually. I would say "doubt" is something Basara has very little of. In many hero stories, doubt is cased upon the hero as a test of his/her ability. If the hero passes, that doubt is accepted or eliminated, making the hero stronger or more determined. That idea is probably one thing that separates Anima Spiritia from normal Spiritia. It's not a god-like ability. It is the drive/emotion of the hero which separates him/her from the rest.

I'm inclined to agree with BoB about your interpretation of Anima Spiritia, wolfx.
