You guys are just noticing this? My mind is torn between being sickened by his avatar and laughing hysterically at it. The laughing part usually wins.

The first OAV was pretty, but the characters and story fell flat. Love the character & mecha designs though.

Tulcas sounds familiar... What's with the swastika?

This is something everyone should love: I love this video

OMFG! Something even better on that site: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rwLj7Isgvrg&search=macross 387786[/snapback] silly noob. havent you seen the 20th anniversary DVD? 387835[/snapback] Nope! Is that a Japan-only DVD?

Wow...I'm kind of in awe, especially reading Valkyrie's post. Sounds like LDs were da shiznit. If they sold DVDs in big-assed flat boxes like LDs were sold in, with all the extras, I wouldn't miss LDs. Maybe someone should do that in Japan as a marketing gimmick. Thanks for the info!

I am so there! I'm gonna try to get a Minmay shirt, or make one. This is gonna be fun!

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2...pic.php?t=22948 I'm looking for confirmation. (Please delete if this is old news) EDIT: Whoa, looks like its true: http://www.myspace.com/mariiijima

Hey all. I've been seeing old anime laserdics on eBay, usually going extremely cheap. This is kinda sad to me, because I remember when Laserdiscs were the thing to have in anime fandom, although when that was true I was a teenager and watched all my anime on rented VHS tapes. I remember LDs being pretty expensive new (like 50 bucks or so? Let me know if I'm wrong) , and ridiculously expensive if they were rare or out of print. It looks like DVDs have really killed the secondary market for LDs, since I see LDs of popular shows regularly go pretty cheap. LD's hold some sort of mystique for me, probably because they were so coveted back in the 90's when I my anime interest was at its peak -- nostalgia or something. Also, the covers had huge surface area for really great pictures, and I hear many anime LDs had nice bonuses like liner-notes and stuff. They just seem more exciting than DVDs somehow. Since I missed out on Laserdisc (I never even heard of them until the 90's when I really got into anime), I'd love to hear some stories about them. *Do any people here collect them? *Are there any really cool anime LDs out there we should know about? *What cool stuff came with LD's? *Do you think LD's will be collected someday like LP's are now, or were they just too obscure? I can't wait to hear your replies!

Might not be a bad idea there David. I know there are a lot of games I want to play on my DS when I get one. Animal Crossing, Mario Cart, Mario 64, Age of Empires, Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time, possibly Nintendogs. Plus some games that aren't out yet, like Children of Mana (already out in Japan) and New Super Mario. Maybe I should start buying games now.

Damnit, I want a DS now -- but I just can't get one knowing that the Lite is right around the corner. I hope it comes out in the States soon! I'd buy an import but the prices are just too high.

Here's my attempt. It looked way better before I scanned it. Still trying to get those perfect lines.

Look behind the missile rack.

Animeigo's got an even worse episode-to-disc ratio. Isn't it 4 per disc? I'm thinking the ADV set will be cheaper, plus it'll match my Mospeada & Southern Cross sets better. EDIT: What do you guys consider a bargain for the whole set of Animeigo discs?

Hell yes you do. At least I want you to...

I love you. I know you're a dude, but still. Can I sig your entire post?

Just wanted to let someone know. Where it says "All news is now posted in the forums", the link to the forums is broken.

she's from Gun X Sword 371697[/snapback] Thank you! Any anime with characters that cool has my interest!

Questions! 1) What toyline are these from? Look like Armored Core. http://angelsrep.plala.jp/~fumiyuki/figure...060219_0104.jpg 2) What anime is this from? http://angelsrep.plala.jp/~fumiyuki/figure...060219_0205.jpg Thanks for any help!

I'm checking out your "looking for" list. Have you seen it?

F-ing gay, just like Aeon Flux and Underworld. Of course I thought Blade was gay as well, so it's not just a chick thing.

ohhhhh you missed on that one? poor you...theyre all sold out now 371085[/snapback] Meanie. Okay, thanks for confirming that it's a custom valk and not available for purchase.

I don't get all the Macross Purist hate. I welcome more affordable toys in a smaller scale. I'll admit, in the pics on the Toynami website, the toys look worse. But that's probably because they're still using the old pictures they had waiting from before Toy Fair. I'm betting that the prototypes at Toy Fair were closer to the production model than whatever they took pictures of for the Toynami site. The opaque canopies are really the weak point here.

Damn, those were 1/72? You're crushing my dreams here....Anyway, I know they didn't put much heart into that Henshin Alpha -- it could have been done much better! No kidding? Damn. I was just going off what the box says. No!!! I refuse to believe! In any event, they can fudge the scale a bit if they need to make it bigger. As long as it's smaller than the VF-1 I'll be happy.
