Wizard's is only doing what nearly every other gaming company does. "Force upgrade" to keep the profits at a growth phase. It's their own fault for fostering the faster = better scheme of business on the public. And frankly if you look at it v3 had been in the works from the mid-late 90's and anything over 5 years old today is perceived as 'ancient' by their target audience.

Yeah serious high level bragging. But than again he's had YEARS to work just on the plot itself!

Yeah they were fun! 2 shot wonders when they got around a 'Toss walker or Carrier though..... That Terran unit looks more look a Gundam/Monster/Glaug/Armored Core kitbash that belongs on 4chan!

Well for example the VE-1 Elint Seeker is placed under DYRL. But in the Macross Design Works AB it's dated at 1984 which would place it under SDF. Which is why I asked if you were placing them by their first appearance on screen.

HEH! I feel like an idiot now. >_<" I've found a copy of 2012, but it's really over priced. http://www.nichibeianime.com/index.shtml BTW: I was surfing through the Manual and noticed that you have several Valkyrie's in different shows than what is shown in the official materials. Are you placing them by appearance?

So there are DYRL movie books out there.

Macross Flashback 2012 artbooks!?!?! I thought that 2012 was only an unoffical fan made paste together music video in which it took nearly all of it's footage from the movies!

I find the 3D usage pretty damned jarring, even in the low quality trailer. It's especially contrasting with all of the desaturated pallet tones. The characters look like dead right copy's from the manga though!

It's just Marvels version of PC and their way of preventing race based lawsuits. ----- Visually the casting looks even worse than before. The semi-goat looks pretty fugly on Downey and Howard looks like a near miss on Rhodes. Gwyneth Paltrow is a horrible miss because I doubt she could pull off the pushy, hard nosed personal aide. But what I find milding interesting is what role Bridges is gonna play. I hope that it's not Stan Industry's owner/CEO.

This is EXACTLY what I don't want to see. You ruin a perfectly mythological background by reducing it, deconstructing the wonder of them, to mere a everyday humanistic element that's been seen ad-nausium for the last 20-30 years in SF. Some time legends and myths are better served by staying as such. ----- kresphy, nice find! But durn is that cover sloppy work.

Yeah that list has several holes in it. Even if you bias it by country. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voltron http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Animated_tele...on_series#1980s

I have to say that they were better off being un-explored, because they've been such a "ghost of the past" motive story element that writing a story about them kinda ruins most of the Macross universe. Especially when they end up looking and acting human.

That made my day! Thieves complaining about theft. :lol: Glad to hear your next update will be even more through.

That would be like saying you can't give anyone advice or your opinion because you've not lived your complete lifespan so you don't have the experience necessary to have an opinion. Silly or downright snobbish, either way. But you may have had a point but I made sure that I qualified myself TWICE that it was my perceptions from a limited amount of episodes seen. So your points are moot, imo. But they are your opinions, so I respect that. Bust someone for only watching an ep. or 2, but not 4 or more. As for my comment about 'native culture'. It's abundantly clear that if you watched M7 without being even somewhat exposed to the culture before you would immediately get the impression that the lead is an assbag of massive proportions and that he is an incredibly large fool for his stance. ----------------- ANYWAYS......

Granted I've not seen the entire series yet, I'm only up to 15 right now, but Basara does not want people to understand him because his arrogance and pride in perceiving himself to be correct or "righteous" prevents him from actually telling people just why they should "Listen to my song!". OR he simply can not verbally express his ideas in language though I highly doubt that because he is a singer. His is the childish attitude of "I'll do it my way and if you don't understand tough luck because I'm gonna stand in your way anyhow!". Basically the worst freatures of Minmay and Kial(spl) combine into one character. In nearly every episode I've seen, so far, those flaws appear. None more so than his near continuous abrasive haughty attitude towards Mylene and his blaming other for his own actions. I frankly find that his character was written with the expectations of the native culture firmly ingrained in the viewer. I just how that we get more info on the new series soon!

I love these sympathy arguments! PST! Nothing stopping them from buying the english release and watching the native versions. I love GB and DB but the prices are outrageous for the lack of localization dubbing. Box set only purchase when both of them hit the bargin bin.

Well if he's that old then T1 & T2 are thrown out. Anyway you look at it it's a pretty bad choice because "Have kid will travel." is family-centric and I doubt will fly well with the SF crowd that it will attract. The kid will get more play and make the sarah seem pointless quick enough. They were better off digging into the obvious gap between 1 & 2 where Sarah gets all of her training and stuff.

Thanks for the heads up! That'll at least save me a couple hours and nearly 20 bucks that both can be better spent elsewhere. Was only gonna see it for the SS action anyways because they were so true to the CB. I thought that they would've at least set it up for the big G intro in a 3rd movie using the SS character exploration & Doom taking SS's powers as filler for the 2nd movie. And here I expected the second movie to be worth watching. Silly me. So much for the real popcorn flicks that Surfer movies could've been! Dammit!

You have to remember the title & movies before you start throwing out what movies they will keep. "Sarah Connor Chronicles" The only logical place they can start is directly after T1 because of the gap between T1 & T2 it's her and her kid, maybe. T1 should be kept because it lays out the character, but they'll write their own movie ending to re-introduce the character so who knows what direction they take her. T2 & T3 are majorly kid oriented, even though Sarah was the lead character in T2 the story was about the kid, so it's a given that they are out. That's only IF they keep T1. But since they've said they are kicking the timeline to the curb I'm betting that ALL of the movies will get throw out and they do their own timeline. So I'm not seeing anything like a "good" future war set-up with FOX's basic BUFFY/ALIAS/DARK ANGEL/Firefly/Drive pretty characters materials.

That's true. It could be worth watching then! But I'm not gonna hold my breath on that. So far the ONLY intelligent thing they've done is to axe the continuity. It's a shame though because many of the fans that are gonna watch it because of the movies will walk away empty handed. I see this tanking like Drive did.

Wait. You mean there are actually people and cinemas that follow the ratings system? Not the last few times I've been to an R rated film they haven't! Freaking kids were everywhere. And to debate the rating system is even more silly because the system is completely arbitrary to begin with, so a movie rating an R today could easily be either a PG-13 or PG-17 tomorrow. Only rating system more screwed up is the anime/manga age system.

Well that's what they've implied from the beginning so I wouldn't be surprised if they did.

Sounds like Sunrise intended to screw over Bandai from the beginning on the liscense! The art looks pretty good, so I'll have to look up a bittorrent link on the series!

While it would be smart to buy the PS3 now for the backwards gaming that still exists there are just to few games of interest out to justify the 'get'. Sadly the games you list are either gone, going to multi-player, or are ones I would be getting anyways. Halo is done with this game because of it's story will be tying up, GTA will be going multi because it'll save RS development cost, and Warhawk (after I heard that it was coming out) for me was a real reason for me to buy the PS3. But you'll see an increase in MP because the developer don't have to build the network from the ground up, support it, and will save more on development because they won't have to put in AI or extra's like they do in single player games. PS. none of the MG games have ever been interesting, imo.

Oh I dunno. Miyatake is pretty damned brilliant in his work also.
