Look HERE 338671[/snapback] Alright, that one was pretty obvious, I don't know why I didn't look there first. So, there are some This is Animation books. I wonder if there are any others? Like an Entertainment Bible?

[cough] http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/magazi...azines_menu.htm [/cough] Well, I meant a site that has line art or official designs, like robotechresearch.com has. I saw some Maz Zero stuff in the magazine pages, but not much. Mainly, I was hoping to see some armored or super VF-0's -- but I don't even know if they exist! As for artbooks -- does Mac 7 have any? I'd like to get one.

Hey guys, is there a website that shows designs of the characters and mecha of Macross Zero? Also, are there any Macross Zero artbooks out yet? Thanks in advance!

Okay, that was an awesome segue.

Dude, I am down for that in a heartbeat. Anyone who goes to a titty bar for that reason is pathetic. I go for the T&A rubbed all over my face, not to pretend the girls like me.

By your logic, Scott Bernard never took a poo in his whole life. If it wasn't shown in the animation or explicitly stated, it never happened. Also, the people who wrote the story for Robotech were not the animators. It could be that Macek wanted to show the whole damn fleet destroyed, but they still had to use the original animation.

On the subject of Regis' power, she did destroy the entire reclaimation star fleet and the neutron-s missiles on a whim and in a few seconds' time. I'd say that's pretty powerful.

Oh yeah, nobody answered my question. Are there gonna be alternator-type jets, or was that just a rumor? I ask because I would go nuts over 'em, if they were made.

Hah, is that a disclaimer so the Yamato fanboys don't lynch ya? I personally haven't been too impressed with Yamato's work. The 1/48 is okay, but the best valk toy ever made is obviously Bandai's Hi-Compact model.

Well, I finally found Wheeljack! Got lucky and snagged him from the local TRU this evening. It took me about 15 minutes to get him transformed, and boy is he awesome! Alternators are everything Transformers could possibly be. I'd say they are probably the best toys of all time.

Hey, did anyone else get the feeling that the Unmanned Legioss were really scary and would blast friend & foe alike? I got the feeling that they were step one of the Scorched Earth plan (step two being the charged particle bombs).

Lunar! My favorite video game series of all time. As for a tear-jerker, try Lufia (SNES). If Lunar 2 made you cry, Lufia will have you sobbing like a girl.

I think Mospeada's style is more realistic. When authorities go away, people do not form murderous bands that fight to the last man. Anthropology shows that people are more peaceful without authorities or governments. During Katrina, all the talk about raping and murdering was B.S. Even the stories about shooting at rescue 'copters turned out to be propoganda. People mostly formed peaceful groups and helped eachother out.

There's no difference between justice and revenge, except for politics. I couldn't disagree with you more. We love our heroes because they blow sh*t up. Sure, some of our heroes talk a lot of game about justice and liberty, but it always comes down to blowing sh*t up and killing "bad guys". That's pretty psychopathic to me. For every Erin Brokovich we produce, we put out ten Schwarzeneggers, Stalones, Seagals, and Van Dammes. [Edited for retarded mispellings]

Are you talking about Lancer's songs? I can understand if you don't like those. But the BGM was very good, and at least half of it had a classic orchestra sound. Only a few tracks sounded synthetic to me (though surely a lot of it was done on synthesizers). The Robotech BGM flat-out rules.

You're right -- that's one of the theories about Mospeada's ratings.

Whaaaa? Can you say Anime Friend? I'd say, on a scale of 1 to 5, Macross' animation was 4+ on a good day and 2 on a bad. Mospeada was a consistent 3.5. Heck, I think the Inbit and Mospeadas were animated really well. The Legioss on the other hand wasn't. Have you watched the remastered Mospeada footage, Armentage? It looks way better than the old Robotech episodes.

Ooh, good thread (before MGBUTTSEXX ruined it)! I love hearing old fans like me dissin' the new crap. Yes! One thing that bugs me about new anime is that nobody moves or shows any expression when talking. They'll do something retarded and melodramatic like close their eyes and look down, but they won't turn their heard or lean back or lean forward or smile real big or jump around or move any part of their body an inch. The characters are so wooden! Another thing: It is a MYTH that new anime is better animated than old anime. It's lazy thinking: Some techniques improve with time, therefore all techniques improve with time, therefore new animation is better than old animation. Bullshit! Compare any (non-Anime Friend) Macross episode with any new show. Macross blows it away. I've seen a Valkyrie from 50 different angles in one scene of Macross, and that sort of thing just does not happen today unless it's done with CGI.

Hey TF fans, 1) What is up with Alternator Wheeljack? I have NEVER seen him in a store, EVER. I wanted him pretty bad too. 2) When are we going to see some Alternator-type jets? I heard a rumor about it, but will it ever happen?

Top five reasons Mospeada is better than Macross: 5) The animation doesn't suck in every other episode (thanks to Anime Friend, who curiously enough did production on Mospeada) 4) Mospeada has TWO kick-ass transforming fighter jets 3) Ray 2) The bath scene 1) TRANSFORMING MOTORCYCLES!

Oh yeah, the Inbit rocked! I actually think they were pretty hilarious -- they do great physical comedy. I laughed when I first saw the scout Inbit (Eager) point at something. It was just so funny how he did it, and the timing cracked me up. Also, when the Refles asked a Grab if he wanted to evolve, and the Grab just kind of shrugged nervously like "Er, wha-- me? Uh..."

I'll admit, I like all the Robotech music better than the Macross, Southern Cross, or Mospeada music (with the exception of the Minmei/Minmay songs). I absolutely love the Robotech BGM and theme. Mospeada's music was still decent, though. I think Mospeada wasn't a big hit in Japan because it was too good -- the lil kids just couldn't absorb all the coolness. Renato, rightstuf.com has the Mospeada box set for 25.99 right now (It doesn't include Love, Live, Alive though). I don't know if they ship internationally, but I'd ship it to you if you want it. EDIT: Oh yeah, England is in a different DVD region...whoops. Cyclone, your LLA picture page isn't working -- none of the pictures load. Oh yeah, MGREXX, get the hell out of my thread!

I think they showed it as Macron One in the US.

The Robotech version is good, but I like the original better, mainly because the dialog is better. As for Mint, I thought she was pretty adorable in the original version. Her character added a lot of humor. The part where was hilarious...mostly because it was so shocking.

Man, I think Mospeada may beat out Macross for my favorite anime of all time. I just watched the series -- I had seen most of Robotech: The New Generation, but seeing Mospeada with the original (non-cheesy) dialogue and remastered footage made it many times better. This confirms why I don't like new anime...old shows like Mospeada just blow everything else out of the water. Man. The characters were great, the mechas were awesome, the story was beautiful, and the dialog was natural and non-retarded. Hell, the dialog was as intelligent as any American TV show I've seen recently. That's why I love old anime. It's not insulting. *Sigh* Now I'll have to find out how to get Love Live Alive. Any tips on that?
