Drat...if he didn't wear that brown jacket, he'd indeed be a holy froating head. We should all autograph an online card and send it to him or something.

Well 1stly, they're from Mospeada/Robotech, not Macross. And, I don't know if Big West holds the copyrights to Mospeada,but HG would definately bitch about it, though this company seems to be pretty small and looks fan-made.

Could someone from the states get the .mov files from the site, and put them up on FTP or something? I have the 1st season.

Just to be different, Jung. Your custom SUCKS!! IT SUCKS SO BAD THAT IT SUCKED MY BRAINS OUT............. How could you have done something so sucky? Its like the suckiest thing i've seen on this site. Ok now change "suck" into "rock". OMG....this paintjob...I'm guessing it probably costs the same or more than the valk itself? Sigh! I wish I had money to get a BR squadron. Sigh!

You don't need to understand Japanese to be able to play the Japanese Macross PS2 game. Graham Yeah....but sometimes you need to know your mission objectives. I kept failing in one of the missions cause I don't know what happened or what went wrong.

I played the Jap Macross game a few levels. Its slower paced than Battlecry IMHO. Battlecry did better in the quick action department. Most of the game mechanics were simlar to Battlecry, so its quite easy to pickup. Of the few levels I played, its levels were limited to Fighter only, Gerwalk only, or Battroid only. I mean, you can change into all modes in all levels, but you'd rather want to stay in one mode in those levels. THe other modes are practically useless. Besides, out of abou 6 missions I've played (DYRL mode i think), I only played 2 ground (Battroid) missions. Missles travelled slower and each time you launch a full salvo of 6, it annoyingly cuts into a cinematic of you doing a barrel role while firing them missles. Oh..and your head laser is puny. Transforming into modes is also switching through a list in ascending or descending order. ie: F, G, B, B, G, F. You can't change from one mode to another like BC. SDF Macross has better graphics than BC, but probably not as good gameplay. I probably should play it more since I played it at a friend's place. But as of yet, BAttlecry had better gameplay and faster paced. BC btw is crap hard with crap story and ending. I don't know anybody that finished it.

He even has a RX-78 Gundam casing. http://sae.cside.com/sae/kat/pc/rx-78pc/erx78.htm One of the better works since its blocky. What's impressive is the dude's a purebred Japanese but he either has fluent english, or someone is translating his site for him.

WHR has the potential to be a succesful americanised series. Its quite a cliche in the comics, novels and gaming world about a secret organisation which handles supernatural occurences behind the shadows, but never was there one in the movies and tv. Buffy had one and the closest movie to it was MIB which was aliens. I say, throw in some chicks and some hunks, write some X-File-ly scripts for the episodes, and you'd probably get the next hit series. Nobody has to know it was an anime. Besides, the anime series was meh.....didn't like it.

Heh.... http://sae.cside.com/sae/kat/pc/ern005/ekana.htm http://sae.cside.com/sae/kat/pc/ern002/emaya.htm Girl shaped computers....who wouldn't want one in the future?

Yay more seed toys.

I had one....but it was KFC's one which came with one of their happy meal things.....

I'm sure you've seen the UC Gundams and referring to super samurai robots through Wing , Seed and X neh? The UC Line gundams were more grunt and more believable than the AU s' (alternate universe) super robots. You mentioned that you probably only liked 8th MS Team, and I can see why. Try out Stardust Memories (kawamori designed the mecha) and War in the pocket as well. Pretty good gundam stories in my books. Yes...I hate Wing and Seed with a passion. And EVAs pwnz j00 a||. Just coz they're not blocky, non-transformable , and don't carry huge ass guns that you possibly can't lift off the ground doesn't make them un-cool.

If anyone who could do that, its Gonzo. They suck. Its like all the world's best animators and the worst screenplay writers are there.

The "backpack" thrusters were on. Animation error. Well....maybe they had limited hydrogen based fuel (the ones we use on space shuttles) to be used in an airless environment.

He, Max and Kakizaki form the Vermillion squadron....although I'm not sure if its a sub squad of Skull Squadron since he's just piloting a VF-1J. (non-official squadron hierachy implies that a squadron consists of 1 VF-1S squadron leader, 2 VF-1S sub-commanders, 4 VF-1Js and numerous VF-1As...correct me if i'm wrong.) Skull Squadron might as well be an entire battalion if that's the case. But anyway, Vermillion Squadron was definately dissolved when Kakikazi died and Max and Milia formed their own squadron. Hikaru then became Skull Leader.....or did he become Skull Leader right after Roy died, immediately dissolving Vermillion squadron.

Regardless...I love the dogfights in this show, probably even more so than Macross Zero.

Well....one of the movies is way beyond the 4 manga novels already out. In terms of stoyline progression. And finally we get to know what IS the APPLESEED. Appleseed seems to be Shirow's pet project and he's taking his sweet time with it, to try and not mess up with it.

Its dodgy that Hasbro showed the Takara versions on the boxart instead of their own. The Prime, Sideswipe and Smokescreen were all the Takara versions shown on the box.

Another one....made of apparently metal. Transformable too. http://www.marksprojects.com/trailer.htm

People can custom sculpt metal parts now? OMG....which hole did I crawl out from.....

Yeah....gungrave...its cool. Thank God they didn't do the story like the game did. Bear Walken eh...hehe.

Well, Edgar mentioned in Episode 3 that the VF-0 can in fact work in space, that's why the intake shutters were closed and they went diving. Well I didn't see the third episode until just last night and so couldn't take that into account. I'd say, even if the VF-0 *could* fly in space, it probably wouldn't be very good at it, certainly much more limited than the VF-1, and probably incapable of getting orbital under it's own power (could the VF-1 get orbital on it's own? I'm not sure)... The VF-1 needed boosters to get into orbital flight. (And no these weren't the fastpacks, at least not in the TV series). They are still jet engines but I think there was no propulsion in the water. The VF-0 simply dived into the water, using its remaining momentum to fly forward abit before encountering the variable sub.....and then it became into battroid and swam. The "built for space" bit was just to explain that the VF is airtight thus waterproof.

Too much angst with this pilot that he could almost **** the jet..... The story is a wee bit !*&@*(! up.

You have Guu Final as well?

Yeap I second that. A 4th installment is in the works....from rumours. I second Saikano and N&T,H&T as well. Gunslinger Girl is very nice, if you don't mind the cute lil girls with guns. And for some F***ed up crap....you can watch Narutaru, FLCL, and Lain
