Maybe we can start guessing potential QC problems with this release: 1.) Gunpods fall off easily in fighter mode especially on FPs. 2.) Landing Gears don't extend fully 3.) Isolated reports of some yellow antennae breaking out of the box 4.) Red clear plastic not included in the heads 5.) Wrong assembly of elbow hinge causing it not able to bend fully. 6.) Tight holes for the FP to attach to the bay underside. Needs shaving off access for a easier fit. 7.) Cockpit canopy breaks easily when opening it. (btw is it confirmed it opens straight up as per prototype pics and not like the old 1/72?) Can't think of any more. Who am i kidding...i'm getting one 1st release regardless.

I like how they just put "Captain" underneath that old fart's pic.

Sounds interesting. I'll get it once i know for sure what Macross Chronical is about.

Episode 8.

I'm liking the model more than the toy.

w00t...someone sent me What Bout My Star by Ranka full version. Someone is leaking stuff on the internets. *dances*

Stupid question....can you technically survive being in ground zero of a nuclear explosion even after coming out of a lead lined refridgerator? Can you technically scrub yourself clean of radiation like that? 0.o

Sorry if this was posted.

I definately want a whole squadron of this.

He was already whining about how "heavy" the armour was. I think he just wanted to jettison the armour for the maneuverability to dodge all that fire rather than use it as "chaff". Speed was definately not what he needed that time.

Interesting. Seems Foo Fighters are known for its erratic movement and maneuverability, as shown by the VF-27.

Just watched it. I dunno how to place it but i didn't enjoy it as much as I thought i would. And the aliens bit is .... 0.o

Nose cones meh. Their "gunpods" are smaller.

So if Alto is in piloting school and Ranka is in entertainment, why are they in the same class? English lessons? And twin-tails definately suit Alto-hime

Is it me or is the gunpod smaller than what we are used to?

Is there any reason why Daimos is a truck in space?

Looks kinda fugly...but won't comment more till we see something more final.

I am mentally tired to talk to u.

Sorry...didn't mean to quote u. Was supposed to be for wetslo. XD No idea the answer to your question, the 3D CG looks pretty consistent to me. Probably less rendering times?

I like the weathering on the one on the box. And i don't believe it'll be out until late June.

I heard that the studio this week wasn't the Filipino one but a Thai one. Wow....i can't wait for the Malaysian studio one.

So i wasn't crazy when i thought i heard Pirates of the Carribean on ep 8. A song on cowboy bebop sounds like "Dream a little dream of me" as well. I missed the initial parts from Macross Zero on the live feed....have to download the raws when i get back. Randomc's review is up and i'm more or less in line with his opinion. http://randomc.animeblogger.net/2008/05/22...ss-frontier-08/

Duke Togo....you're sarcastic aren't you? On MW, i can't tell anymore. I will not.....WILL NOT....comment on the animation here. And please God help you, nobody tempt me. I'm looking at you, Misaforever. Anyway storywise, I personally felt the filler episode could've been used abit more productively. Like maybe a normal day at "Minovsky" Academy where the celebrity visits could've been good enough. At least we could've seen what goes on when Skull Squadron isn't on duty and doing what normal highschool kids are supposed to instead of a strange "hijinks" episode reminiscent of the Code Geass chase-the-cat episode. Afteralll, Kawamori did promise that this will be a highschool romance + Space Opera show. But who knows maybe later episodes will explore this aspect more. The humour in this episode while at times funny is a little OTT for Macross Frontier. That's my personal opinion though. Will comment more later.....running to a meeting.

Graham always positive about Macross. Don't compare stones with coal. Compare it with gold. I overall have no qualms with Macross 7 art and animation except for the recycled animation, and also the Firebomber scenes where they just stand there, move 2 - 3 frames on loop and mouths not quite sync-ed to the songs. ok guys....i'm not a mod but please stop calling each other names or trying to prove who is smarter than the other. Can't we all be civil adults?

okok i get your point. 00 isn't perfect. I definately missed those "bad frames" during the frantic action and they are few in between compared to "zomg whole episode art weirded". If you looked in the 00 thread , i don't think anybody pointed out the art problems either since it mostly went unnoticed so i don't think it was just me. But ANYWAY I rather we concentrate on the animation quality of Macross Frontier though rather than....b*tching that "00 does it too so Frontier is licensed to do it as well" Maybe you want to prove that you know the animation and the business of the industry better than most of us because AFAIK, a person doesn't draw 36000 pictures in just 1 week. Maybe i misinterpreted you, but did you honestly think people draw episode frames each week prior to the broadcast week? You do know that at the point of broadcast, more than half the episodes have been drawn/edited and ready to be aired right? Urgh....again went unnoticed. I guess this is just a cultural/industry misuse of the word. Japanese bishoujo games have been using the term CG for their still frames because traditionally they were drawn on computers (the pixelated porn games) and the CG term coined then was brought forward till today. Go to any eroge site and you'll see the word "CG" being used for you to sample the porny goodness of the games they are advertising. But i think for us english speakers, westlo's definition is more accurate. In fact maybe we should call it CGI (Computer Generated Image) to stop the confusion.
