OMG! Someone has the FM-Towns Marty! I was thinking of that console when posting here, but I just couldn't remember the name. Awesome stuff, man. I always wanted to check out that system. You wouldn't happen to have any pics, would you? Also, did WonderDog ever get ported to that system? Just wondering if it had any improvements over the Sega version.

To be perfectly honest, Max is on to something. But I think the reason we're slamming all these new movies is that the only new movies that get mentioned here are complete crapfests. Dead or Alive the movie? Street Fighter 2 the movie? GI Joe the movie? Either that or we post highly controversial movies, like Reloaded or AOTC. No one bothers to post good solid movies. For example, if I were to start a thread on Cold Harbor, it would zero replies (give yourself a pat on the back if you've heard of this new indie film).

Good work Deadzone, you shouldn't be too hard on yourself Valkyrie279, can we see some battroid pics? Looks very promising.

Back, here's part 3 of the linear notes. Edit: oops And finally, part 4. If anyone else wants to try translating and needs a clearer image, PM me and I'll send you the uncompressed .tif files.

And here's part 2. I had to break them up into sections since the linear notes were just too big for the scanner. I'll post the last two sections later, I gotta run.

Alright guys, here's part 1 of the DYRL Perfect Edition linear notes, dated 1992.

Just saw your post in the other forum, AL. I think it's just HG's gambit, just as Sunwards was to Yamato. I don't think anyone (Yamato included) ever thought Sunwards would take off, Yamato just wanted to see what would happen. Same thing with HG and M7 Trash, they probably had little faith in the venture, but wanted to see how Japan would react. In end end. HG and Yamato merely wanted a documented incident that they could cite, should this matter ever be taken to court. Ok, I need some sleep.

There have been a couple of attempts at a MW IRC channel, the latest by Valkyrie. The thing is, no one ever comes.

There are plenty of craptastic consoles to pick from: the PC FX, 3DO, Jaguar, 32X CDi, etc. But my vote goes for the Virtual Boy. Not a single decent title, and it's the *only* console that would cause you pain (not the mental type).

My vote would go for the x-box. It's the most emulator friendly, meaning you can play all your nes, atari, gameboy, etc, roms on it. It's cheating, I know, but hey.

Very interesting stuff. The plot thickens even more. Back to the digi-subs then.

Well, here are the linear notes from the 1987 Flashback laserdisc, submitted amicus curie I didn't scan the other side, as all it contained were the lyrics for Minmay's songs. For those who haven't been following the thread, Keith has claimed: However, Keith has failed to submit any sort of documented proof, only relying on heresay and stating "look at the animation." IMO, animation is an unreliable source of information as it is prone to errors (ie: Roy and Hikaru's color-changing heatshields in DYRL, etc). So here's some written proof, dated 1987. Honestly, I can't say for sure if Kawamori had planned for DYRL to be a movie with Macross from the start, or if he decided to do so in 1994 (for which we do have plenty of documentation). Hopefully these linear notes can shed some light on the matter. Oh yeah, I'll also be scanning the linear notes from the 1992 DYRL: Perfect Edition laserdisc linear notes. Since this version of DYRL was the first to incorporate the Flashback footage in the end, there might be some information that could vindicate Keith's statement. Look for these later. Can't you tell I just love these uber-otaku debates. Edit: JsARLIGHT, if you need more clarity, I can send you the original uncompressed scan. I didn't post it since it's a couple of megabytes.

The proof is in the Macross 7 Laser Disc liner notes as translated by Egan Loo, as is the existence of Flash Back 2012 which is available for "all" to see. Bandai was even kind enough to make their official release R1 compatible, and though out of production, there are plenty of Bootlegs about. Considering Egan is officially endored by both Bandai & Big West, it's safe to assume his translations are correct. Keith, I think JsARCLIGHT is asking for proof the pre-dates 1994 (the year Kawamori and Studio Nue revised the Macross timeline). The Macross 7 LD's were manufactured in 1995 and the Flashback DVD much later. If it's of any use, I have the original 1987 Flashback laserdisc with linear notes. If anyone's willing to translate it, I'd be more than happy to scan it.

LOL! Isn't there a Favorite Movie thread just below this one?

JsARCLIGHT, I couldn't have said it any better.

Parasite Eve is a great game, but I gotta disagree with you on PE2. I thought it was unoriginal and awful. Gone was the old PE gameplay and instead they gave us Resident Evil. That games only saving grace was its beautiful cinema scenes. PE1's gameplay was an embarassment. PE2 has VASTLY superior gameplay. If being the 100th Resident Evil clone is what constitutes good gameplay, then yeah, I'd have to agree. Must also explain why PE2 went straight to the bargain bin.

This movie is going to be pure cheese. Sure it's going to have lots of flashy scenes, but the storyline, chronology, and characters are going to suck hard. The original Dark Horse comic is probably the best you could do with this concept. Two things are going to sink this boat before it even sets out to sea: 1. ) It's from the director of Resident Evil 2. ) It's a "prequel" (aka 'Sh1t! We're out of original ideas!') to Alien

WTF?! MII and M+, but no movie edition? What kind of box set is that?! If there was ever a company that could make Harmony Gold look good, it's present-day Manga. <_< Bullseye! I hope no one here actually expects Manga to redo the DVD covers and inserts.

Uhh...if it can't even hold a VF-1 properly, I don't see the point. I'll just stick with sithlord's stands, they're simple, elegant, cheaper, and unobtrusive. Plus, you can even get them to hold the Valkyries in Gerwalk and Battroid modes. Now THIS is how the claw should be holding the VF-1.

The Reviews forum isn't, in any way, interfering with an OT forum. Shawn could trim MW down to five forums and there still wouldn't be an OT forum. We used to have an OT forum, but we blew it big time. And back then, MW was a lot smaller. As much as I miss the OT forum, I totally understand what Shawn is doing. In the meantime, check out the VEX forums. It's 99.9% unmoderated, so let the good times roll. B)

Hey Graham, is it too late to suggest to Yamato that some of us would like FP's with the 1/48 reissues?

Please allow me to use this: LOL! thedarkmarine, by posting that pic, you're showing that you're the newbie here. Valkyrie's been on MW since day 1; and he's been following Macross since before most of us even knew what anime is. Anyways, not all of us are on broadband connections, so it can be pretty difficult downloading hundreds of megabytes worth of digisubs. Me, I have broadband, but I still want the DVD's. After all, I can't watch digisubs on my home theatre system.

Woohoo, I'm glad Yamato is giving fans the options of buying the J with and without FP's. Both sides win this time, as Yamato gets to sell double the VF-1J's and fans have the choice of picking up one of the other. So why isn't the Hikaru VF-1S coming with FP's? I guess Yamato doesn't have much confidence in a lone VF-1J, so they're gonna bundle it to ensure that it sells. The 1S, they figure, is popular enough to sell on it's own. As for the Strike Cannon, I don't think the VF-1J will come with it. After all, the 1/60 Hikaru VF-1J only came with super armor.

Nope, I gave mine away. I gotta admit though, it was a pretty cool toy. If you wanna try modding yours, I say go right on ahead. Since Toynami will be releasing box sets of the alpha morphers this winter, the prices for the single morphers will probably drop. So now's the best time to experiment. Apollo Leader: Ahh, ok, I see where you're coming from. Good point, but it's also possible that the people who have broken the fingers are more inclined to sell their HCM's. And, perhaps, those with intact HCM's are less willing to part with theirs?
