Question: I'm watching my Gundam DVDs again. Interest rising in Gundam (especially UC). All my old favorite Gundam links are dead. Too much stuff on google. Where is the current Gundam equivalent of Macross World? I know of MAHQ but I'm talking about exclusively Gundam.

I agree with the Hair issue. Alpo doesn't want people mistaking him for a girl. So he maintains long hair that he ties up with a ribbon like a girl.

Actually saw these in a comic book store $50 each. Maybe about $10 more you would pay with shipping. I gotta say I don't how these things are they are overpriced. I wouldn't pay more than $20 each. I had no idea how dinky they are. They are the size of action figures but cost 5 to 10 times more. Plus they don't transform.

Watched the first episode I like the character designs and the look but not the animation. CGI ship look alright when it is just one ship on the screen. Characters aren't very animated. It very limited animation. Could have a really great story but it animation is mediocre. If it was Macross I keep watching. If Tytania in film comic form I'd likely check it out.

Hey Shin what is the deal with Hiss Tank and other fan sites? I'm a member of couple them and lurk at some others. Is this thing true? http://www.joecanuck.com/joe/board/index.p...c=2865.msg23310 A few other sites express their displeasure. Plus I heard negative things about Hisstank before.

Ranka sure had a growth spurt during those couple of years.

Still something not right with Michael's arm over Alto.

Exactly. Maybe they are worth the price. Still it something that I first have to see in person to decide. I can't justify spending that much, waiting a few weeks to find it is not worth the price.

First try the search engine Second try scroll down to the forum topic list page to the part that says "From: 30 days" increase range to include older topics. Third try google Fourth try youtube: People post video of them doing repairs. Here a freebie from my own experience: http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=23833

From my understanding all communications from (real) pilots to (real) traffic control is done in English. I believe English is the official Language of the UNSpacy but, that does mean they speak it all the time. On the SDF Macross you occasional hear/read some Engrish emergency messages. DYRL? there is few Engrish as well. Fact that we can hear both Japanese and a rare bit of Engrlsh makes me believe that they characters are speaking Japanese and it's not just for the audience. Later Macross 11 is regarded as an English Speaking Fleet. To me that means English is the dominate language used. Isn't just by bill boards are emergency messages. I think that the language used varies from place to place. We hear Japanese alot because it is the dominate language used but the characters featured. People have a greater command of foreign languages allowing them to speak with locals. There is likely several official spoke langages but I suspect that Engrish is the official written language. Things like contracts or written orders to avoid confusion would have to be in the same language. Also when Misa, a Japanese woman translated the song in DYRL? she translated its written form in English.

Firebat is awesome reminds me of the mini jet James Bond flies in octopussy.

I got criticism of it (most already discussed by others) but there are a lot of rabid fans that think it is the best thing since slice bread. I could write at length about how it is only good because it is new, just craters to fans and has a weak story. I don't feel like being that negative right now. People enjoyed it so I'll let them have there fun.

Closed See linked already posted by others.

Exactly. Btw topic closed. Check out that forum.

Well it has been over 40 minutes since tonight's episode ended. I can't remember what it was about. Only thing I know is I gotta get one of those 2009 Dodge Rams. That truck was the best special guest star ever!

Yeah the VF-1S with a Beam Saber is one of my favorites (I think it is a joke pic)

Valhalla III is the best out of the three in launch mode only. Looks dull in the other mode.

Hey if they can't fix Far/Near sightedness you think they can fix your spine?

Thanks to the release of Macross II & Macross Plus one the first things I search when I went online was Macross. I only got about 5-6 items from Books Nippon. Stuff was expensive back then. Translation = as minor I couldn't get a real job and allowance/birthday money only went so far. You can beg family for money but only to a certain degree. I still have one of their old catalogs somewhere.

I'm going with that answer. There are a ton of lazy people out there. Old people are the worst offenders. Once you start getting older people offer to lift heavy objects for you. Offer to give you the nicer seat. They get better parking spaces, preferred seating on the bus. Senior Special discounts. After a while they think are entitled to a discount everywhere because of there age. They assume that someone will pick up or get them something. Our society (well many societies) teaches us to respect and take care of the elderly. These old bastards have taken advantage of us. As a side effect of no longer doing simple things like opening a door for themselves their muscles have shriveled, along with other body parts to the point were they are crippled. If only they weren't so quick to use the motorized carts before they actually really needed them. Next time you see a active senior citizen be sure to give them a thumbs up or a man-to-man head nod. When you see a weak one be sure to yell, "You're what's bad for America and you smell like pee." Oh of course anime seems to be very youth obsessed. When characters age they age bad. Look at Ray for crying out loud. He's suppose be about 28 but looks 50. Mao at 51 is like really 102 in anime years.

Oh how blessed art thou computer who has given thy self Macross Remember the old days? Before high speed connections, before YouTube, before the Internet? I think we take these tools for granted. If you want to know or obtain something go online and you're quickly on the way to finding it. This wasn't always been the case. In days past there was no Internet or it's use wasn't common. I have bunch Macross books and toys (Macross & Others) thanks to it. I have seen Macross that would never reach my shores thanks to it. I already knew that Robotech was made up of three other animated programs. I learned was left out & the original stories thanks to the Internet. Before you went Online how big was your Macross Universe? My first exposure like many was through Robotech. During the first airings (1985 & 1986) I was living in Orange county. Grandparents lived in Hollywood. Every visit to Grandma house we go included a trip to the Golden Apple. There I could obtain Robotech books, toys & comics plus a few Macross imports. The stuff from Japan looked nice but I didn't understand it. This wasn't just from a lack of understanding Japanese but from things like owning a DYRL book without seeing DYRL? Is this for a new Robotech Movie or something? After a family move to the rest of America I was cut off nearly entirely from Macross. Go a speciality store and you could find a few Robotech items. Extremely rare occasions you stumble upon Macross items. My first contact with a non Robotech version of Macross was a copy of the CLASH OF THE BIONOIDS. Rented it from a 7-11 on a country road in the late eighties. That's how it was back then. You really had to depend on your local Asian community. If you didn't have that it was the comic books stores. Things improved in the 1990's. National chain Video stores & Rentals started including anime. I learned about Macross II through the RPG books. I learned of Books Nippon. Got their catalog and catalogs from other mail order places. Paid for over priced products. Then waited 6 to 8 weeks. Saw all of Macross Plus by renting Episode 2 & 3 at one store, mail ordering the 4th Episode and buying the 1st Episode at an other store. Now you can just go online and purchase the entire OVA for the price of one VHS back in the day. Hardly knew anything of Macross 7 before the Internet. Once I got online it open a whole new world of Macross knowledge and product to waste money on. You kids have so easy being to young to remember the dark ages.
