That right there would be very cool. I still think the legioss needs more improvement, like knees that slide up and fully retracting tail fins at least. And I don't believe yet that the connection is improved. Looks like they just aimed the arms up. I wonder if they'll release fixed versions of the little ride armors. Like versions where the shocks actually connect to the forearm covers in bike mode.

Good one! I was all excited for a second.

Why stop with the chest intakes? The Legioss is still pretty fugly in fighter mode.

California Crisis is beautiful. It's on Nico Nico Douga, but you probably want better video than that, right Area88?

Maybe the rumored poor sales of the 1/100 VF-25 made them realize that valkyrie toys should actually transform. Yeah, I said it. What the 1/100 VF25 does is not a transformation.

Yay for obscure references that I know.

So she's gonna be more like $250? Man these things keep going up. Anyway, I think they should make her white shoulder armor longer so it's actually visible in armor mode. Like this.

I have some more info: it looks like crap.

Let's not throw the baby out with the bath water here. The mecha design itself is horrible, but the "man cannon" is genius. It just needs a redesign. I bet Miyatake could do it justice. Whoever designed this one just had to be giggling to himself.

What's the name of that dancing robot with dreadlocks? That one is ugly. As far as ugly robots from shows I actually watch, it's the AJAX space helicopter from Southern Cross.

I don't know if this has already been noticed and mentioned here, but it looks like the chest on the new 1D doesn't slide down as far in battroid mode as the other new VF-1's. Check out your comparison shots, Jenius. Is that just how it transforms, or did you not push it down all the way?

That is freakin' weird.

Looks pretty good to me. Especially like the Bartley figure itself.

I miss MXC. Everything else is unworthy.

What about that last one that was released here? New Era? That one was so terrible, animation wise, you could just tell they ran out of money or just didn't care any more. Although I though the story was okay. But the production values were just sad that I think it should never have been made.

I paid like $50 for the box set and don't regret it, but I DO regret that stupid DigitalEyes sent me factory rejects twice in a row. The first time they sent me a damaged box with damaged discs, and when I returned those they sent me good DVDs in another damaged box with a big razor cut across the middle of the face. I was so pissed, but I gave up. I should have returned it but I was demoralized and didn't care. Plus I didn't want to wait weeks to for another set to arrive if I bought elsewhere, I wanted to see the god damned show already. I wish I had a non-damaged box.

Nevermind, accidentally replied to months old post.

I think some people just really like the theory that Macross Worlders are worthless cretins that can't contribute to anything.

Ditto!

Sounds like a plan! By the way, I got a ridiculously nasty virus after downloading from that mediafire website. I don't know if it was a coincidence or what, but be careful.

I haven't even bothered to check out Magical Girl Club, but I keep hearing good things about Magical Project S. I have both Magical Project S DVD sets (that I snagged super cheap by the way) but I haven't watched them yet.

Cool, thanks for the download! I already read the 101 facts some time ago, but never the novels. I don't think the OAV mentions anything about Mihoshi and Washu, although the dude Washu had a kid with looked like Mihoshi. So what did you think of OAV3, Tenchi in Tokyo, and GXP? EDIT: were there pictures with the original novels? I remember the cover art was pretty cool. I guess there wasn't any more art inside?

Whoops, I meant to say that OAV 3 was horrible. I thought both the story and the animation were lacking. I wish I had never seen any of OAV 3. I only watched half an episode of GXP, but I heard it was okay but not great. Plus it only has cameos of the Tenchi Muyo characters, so I didn't really care about it. I'd like to check out the Novels, but are they available in English? Thanks for the link, but I can't seem to find the actual trailer on that page. As for new Tenchi series, I think it's getting kinda retarded. What's the point? If it's not about the original characters, why not just call it something else and stop pretending it has anything to do with the original series? Are the few hardcore Tenchi fans who will care really going to make the difference? I dunno. The original Tenchi OAV was perfect and magical. Nothing else compares. The site you linked to makes the new series look like Tenchi Muyo meets El Hazard. Man, these guys can't do anything original any more. Okay, I guess you can say that neither Tenchi nor El Hazard were original, but retreading your own unoriginal works is just sad. EDIT: Found the trailers, which were really just slide shows. I'd like to see some actual animation.

The original Tenchi Muyo OAV is awesome. My favorite anime after Macross and Mospeada. The second OAV, the movies, and the Tenchi TV series were good too. Tenchi in Tokyo kinda sucked, and OAV 3 was f*cking horrible. There's a spin-off that came out recently, Sasami Magical Girls Club or something. Are we talking about that or an even newer show? EDIT: Whoops, forgot the 3 in OAV 3.

I've heard that Aoshima is why the Tread turned out so well -- they were responsible for much of it from the beginning. Apparently they didn't have as much control over the Legioss, and they blame Toynami for the Aoshima Legioss sucking. And obviously Yune designed the US Beagle head, though I don't know if he technically "sculpted" it. And that sucks, because I prefer the original head, and I would buy an HG packaged Beagle if the toy itself was untainted. So if Aoshima did a gift set, and Toynami imported it, I hope Tommy Yune doesn't mess with it.
