Hikaru's voice actor was replaced: http://www.anime.net/macross/characters/i/...#ichijyo_hikaru Voice (Sony PlayStation 2 game): Kenji Nojima But, I think out of respect for Mr. Hase, Mr. Kawamori will not continue with the Hikaru-character beyond what has been established. He will revisit certain events, but I don't think he wants to go beyond that. I tend to agree with you on this Pat. What Kawamori has done, time and time again, with his own creations is create new interpretations of the story.

No. I don't think so. Any Macross project can come out of BW. However, Studio Nue would have to go through BW if they continued Macross. To me Studio Nue is just a bunch of guys pitching a story or pushing out ideas. They don't really "exist" as a production company, IMO. Besides design (story and design lineart), they probably only go as far as planning. They rely on companies like Big West to back them financially and with animation studios. If Studio Nue wanted to use Sunrise, Studio Nue would have to buy the entire Macross franchise from BW. That would be kinda weird/stupid. It would have to be like Bandai/Sunrise working another Gundam series. Any UC work not involving Tomino would have to be fudged in some way that it wouldn't screw with the Tomino-UC timeline. That's how I see things. Big West owns the Macross franchise, period. If it has the "Macross" name on it, Big West will be involved. The established Macross timeline that we all work with would be that of Studio Nue. So if Big West decides to create a new Macross series without Studio Nue, they sure as hell can. But since it might impact the Studio Nue continuity, it would have to go the way of an alternate universe. Get the idea?

Actually I would say: -Big West owns design linearts and story. Studio Nue is included in Big West.

In any case, the events from "Rainy Night" occur before M0.

They rushed the ending. They could have used one more episode and ended it. Once you get to where Freedom Gundam shows up, the pace starts increasing. One of the nice things about Seed is that for little details, you have to read the Astray manga. But still, they could have put in one more episode into the ending. The fight between Strike vs. Providence, could have gone on a little longer for me to be satisfied. But oh well.

In my experience, it's always best to paint first before you assemble. For me, I take it all the way through the painting stage before I start assembling (minus touch up, applying clear coats, etc). Depending on the piece, you can assemble it and paint it afterwards but I find that to be prone to errors so I just paint, paint, add panel lines and major details, then assemble.

I'll just wait till Episode 3 comes out before I pick up another Essentials Guide.

Ground Effective Reinforcement of Winged Armament with Locomotive Knee-joint I kid you not. http://www.anime.net/macross/story/glossary/index.html

Those are Destroids. Destroid Cheyenne according to the official site.

Looks like we'll finally see SV-51s launching from the sub too....

Kinda hard to tell. A disorganized-look to me so it might be space dock. There are no ruins in M0. Just the AFOS relic.

Need I mention that a good number of anime viewers will probably end up not buying official releases after downloading or buying HK bootlegs...

Did it ever occur to you to check the official site or Bandai's site? http://www.bandaivisual.co.jp/macrosszero/.../m_dtroyed.html http://bigwest.macross.co.jp/zero/ They've got some nice pics there. No stats at the moment though.

In reference to pic in 1st post: Whoa...someone aged...badly....

Everybody makes one of these threads. Don't worry about it.

Notes about the name "Macross" and other little things can be found at the bottom of this page

IIRC, it was a quick run down of the Macross timeline that went up to just before M7 began to air. There isn't much in there that isn't covered at the Compendium. It's a collector's item.

She's quite under-age you sick puppy....

What are you talking about, she was always crazy, that's part of her charm. Remember the whole baby tossing thing? To be fair, Max was too. "You tried to stab me to death! I MUST HAVE YOU!" I think we can let that one go.....

Yes Keith, their just frakking with you. I remember getting the series, raw, back in '96-'97(?). Then I got the CDs and listened to "My Friends" and "Totsugeki Love Heart" for weeks.... Didn't understand a word but still watched it. I think it was about that time I found the Compendium (when Egan still hosted it on his UC Berkeley account) and used it as a guide to M7. I think about a year later I got the fansubs and more CDs. I listened to Fire Bomber songs for years. It was just stuck in my playlists. And I never got tired of it. The nice thing about M7 is that it helped me build my tolerance for long series. In fact, it was the first long series that I watched. And I never got bored watching it over and over. I think what struck me the most was it didn't feel like I was watching a Gundam-war story or like the original series (the original series was great, no doubt about it). It was different and I liked that about M7.

Did you people not read what I said about Ray? . If you people read what I wrote, you would understand Ray is, in NO such way, (not that there's anything wrong with being gay in the first place, sheesh) homosexual. Do I have to explain the whole Ray-Akiko situation or are we that dense?

Actually if Ray's wingman and friend, Stephen, didn't come along, Akiko would have choosen Ray. It was actually a semi-love triangle between the 3. Stephen and Ray both had a thing for Akiko (Ray being silent about it). Stephen made the move first. Ray, being the good friend and wingman, decided to not persue the relationship with Akiko and remained friends. Akiko knew Ray was in love with her but she also knew what could happen between the 2 if Ray said something about that relationship. And the relationship between Akiko and Stephen was heading toward marriage. I don't think I need to go any further. Really, there never was the question about Ray.

We don't know what happens to the boy. He probably got together with Myung. But beyond that, it's up to your imagination as a writer. Good luck. Legs. There may have been sections in the main body but that probably would have been reserved for military personel and storage. The majority was located in the legs.

It's a fan fic.....you can do whatever you want.....I mean if you want Isamu to die a horrible death and Guld to come out on top...go ahead...it's your fan fic.
