By the way you ment PS3 right I play japanese games on it as well as Blurays fine, thats why I preordered the Macross F and Macross Zero blurays

Yes, US and Japan are both Region 1 Coded.

Use Zoom Player standard its free and can run anyfile smooth, plus it doesnt have the problem with subs that VLC had.

Lets see

1. To make the enemy think they have a chance as they can spot their easy prey that much easier

2. Valkyrie pilots do it to draw attention so they get more kilss ( Max and Miria anyone)

3. Cause military schemes wer sooo last fall

4. To be unique, who wants to be part of the crowd anyway

5. Cause military schemes = cannon fodder (seems the enemy kilss off the planes hardest to see first, either that or weapons lock to those colors better)

6. Cause other military paint colors are too expensive

7. Cause it helps you distinguish Friend from Foe easier at Mach 22+ combat speeds

8. So you dont blend in to the blackness of space and get hit by friendly fire cause they didnt see you there

9. So you can see you own fighter good against the darkness of space and dont clip something

10. So you dont need to turn on your lights and become an instant flare

EDIT I could go on all day but 10 is a good round number

New Sign of Macross F popularity http://hezachan.deviantart.com/art/Fancy-Free-85763041

EDIT AS You see using the pics and the other girls for reference that Klan klan is the Queen

Better Pic of the above image in its original form http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/232450..._eiji-long_hair

YEAAAH so let me divert the conversation then, in the thread asking which Macross F girl you liked I choose the Meltrandi on the right, because shes hot and Michael has Klan Klan, I vote for an anti Michael sub fan club atleast till he grows on us.

EDIT Bonus Pics Note some arent Klan Klan but good none the less can you spot the oddity

Yep but it will bring more attention to the series states side.

Im In

Poor Luca's gonna have a heart attack whenever they encounter one.

Either that or he'll be first in line to fly it.

Nawh the VF will probably turn him down for Michael

Remember no mode changing on the first date..I mean flight, FLIGHT!!.

Seeing that it is red, by using a bit of aussie slang it's the VF-27 Bluey

You mean the VF-27 it went ka-bluey? (kabooooom!!)

About the VF-171 vs VF-19, is there a possiblity that NUNS and UNS are not one in the same and there may be split governments? Its not too far fetched to think that an interstellar race be governed by more than just one almighty government. Perhaps after the events of VF-X2, the "rebels" formed the NUNs while the UNS loses some support but is still around?

I have VF-X2 and have played through it numerous times with all endings. It was my understanding that the UN Spacy didnt turn evil, instead it was just your high ranking Commanding Officer who had his own motives to disrupt UN Spacy. You were dispatched to combat a terrorist group at the start of the game that was targeting UN Spacy after numerous battles and the suppossed death of your Flight Leader you learn he has joined what you believed were the bad guys (note from what it appears in the game the terrorist you had been fighting up till the "death of your flight leader were true terrorist but your Flight lead joins another group of "bad guys" (another terrorist group that has only target the Corrupted UN Spacy individuals not everyone like the original terrorist group which is made up of the critical path corporation who invented the missile jamming system that is later installed in Macross 13, that are in league with the corrupt UN Spacy men) who is lead by a Meltrandi that are labeled terrorist but arent. The correct ending to the game is you join the "terrorist" that you flight lead had joined and along with your wingman and fight the critical path corporation and the corrupt High Command UN official who turns out to be your commander, in the end with the help from your "terrorist" meltrandi friend and your old wingman you defeat the Corrupt UN official in the stolen and missile jamming equpiped Macross 13 and the critical path corporation.

this link will point you to a very rough walkthrough of the game but be warned it contains numerous errors like stating the SDF 1 is the enemy vessel when it was really the Macross 13 etc. http://www.gamefaqs.com/console/psx/file/197819/5120

NUNS may just be named that way to restore faith in UN Spacy after cleaning out the house of anti UN traitors or it man just be a name change that the UN Spacy felt they needed due to roles changing or the new era that they lve in now compaired to the state of UN Spacy in Spacy War one and pre New Macross Colony Fleets era of tech and time, like how the Army Air Core became the US Air Force but more than likely its Bandai needing the change for some reason though

By the way MR MARCH hows the game section coming?

EDIT By the way the VF-1X design was just a way to add the VF-1 to the game and make the old design relevant though system upgrades when compaired to the standard fighter of the times the VF-11 which is given to you at the start without making it to weak to the VF-11 as a non upgraded VF-1 would be it is also a good way to extend the life of the mass produced easily available and cheap VF-1 for colonys on a budget and terrorist who use the VF-1 to fight you without giving them a ton of stolen VF-11 and and to add to the Enemy Zentraedi equipment you battle as the terrorist would have little access to VF-17, 19 and 22 craft as evident in the game except where they would be expected like in the hands of the critical path corporation who has connections and government contracts and traitors who were issued them by the UN who didnt know who they truely where at heart.

Nice vids, also nice to see another Klan Klan supporter (I propose a fan club)

VF-27 Vedas (means sacred knowledge)

VF-27 Archangel

VF-27 Raganarok

VF-27 Fenrir

or VF-27 Fuzzy Bottoms

Here's one for those working on the wiki: It looks like that Catherine Glass' birthdate is December 26, 2036. That would put her about 22/23 years old. Looks like NUNS really gets those recruits while they're young.

They have too. Look at the size of the area NUNS is responsible for, all the human controlled worlds and the space around them then add to that the protection of colony fleets, science and exploration fleets, trade routes etc etc the list goes on and on. So its to reason that theyare stretched for their most precious resource, people. They have to recruit the young to man the military and it is also the reason behind the existance of companies like the SMS, (not unlike real world situations these days). After all Gamlin from Macross 7 was 15 when he entered the UN Spacy academy via special entry for his skill (normal entry age is 17). Catherine may be the same way.

oh did anyone notice the missiles at time index 15:07, arent those the same as the ones on the VF-0 Man the Zero references are huge, the missiles, music, movie being made, the unidentified VF has designs akin to the SV-51 (the unique canards), the missile pod on the VF-171 looks similar to the ones on the VF-0 Booster and the large outer edge missile is similar to the ones the SV-51 used etc.

Edit: wanted to throw in how after watching the 6th ep it reafirmed the vibe i get that was also in Zero were Kawamori's designs are going for an edgey angular designs with lots of external equipment and weapons similar to designs found on US aircraft in the 70s like the F-4 Phantom which used external gunpods at first and used HARM missiles similar to the missiles on the VF-171 and SV-51. Seems Kawamori has a fondness of that design element lately. its even evident in the Macross Quarter nad to a small degree on the modded Q-raus.

in Akihabara just happens to be Hentai. Poor Ranka, caution think before you click on the link

I know a link to download a copy of that from however due to the nature of the content I wont post it with out permission from the guys that run the MW forums.

EDIT: Easy way to do this if your old enough (honor based system) pm me for the link.

I voted Raramia Rerenia. May change later though as she hasnt done anything yet, I didnt vote for the obvious girls they are taken

Their is CG pics of it in magazines (see Macross F Art thread for one) in its other forms and it has transformed in the manga.

Oh I forgot to add that Lunar Anime started subbing Macross Frontier too as of yesterday they have episode 1 up.

Why is it so popular to always make fun of southerners? Everyone uses some form of slang. Yes I am from the south and am getting tired of hearing that, get enough of it from TV News, a senator from Washington State came on TV and said he didnt want NASCAR to build a track in his state as it would attract southern drunk trailer park trash to his community, yep he said it just like that live on TV, and no we dont all watch NASCAR I dont but my Sergeant from New York loves it.

By the way JBO i know you didnt mean it that way. Just want to point that out before it gets outta hand.

Shinsen-sub of ep 5 is up
