Project Phoenix

For those of you who are SRW fans, the TV series will premier this Fall and it will feature Ryusei of the SRX team as the protagonist. Also, the PS2 version of SRW Original Generation game is coming out sometime this year. If and only if Atlus follows through with their release of the two GBA SRW games will possibly we see a release of the PS2 version. But I highly doubt it. Linky Linky 2

If it mentions the Hory Froating Head is involved, I'm there. Designs comes first, story second.

Glad you approve. Seriously, when Yamato says April, they probably meant they'll ship it on April 30 11:59pm. That means we'll probably see something after May 1. After all, they seem to change their friggin' minds every 5 minutes. Remember the 1/48 CF that was suppose to be a hobby show LE? Point is, keep those fingers crossed.

There is an old saying: "A watched pot never boils, a watched phone never rings". I'll see it when it's here.

I read that Hayao is pissed. He doesn't think his son is ready to direct but somehow the son got the job anyway. I heard he's so mad that the two are refusing to speak to each other. I think I read that in Anime Insider or something. 392341[/snapback] Once they reconcile they can co-direct a killer Ghibli production about their story. 392386[/snapback] I can see it coming. Ghibli Senki.

I would say land-mines from his ass.

His son Goro is the director this time.

I may be wrong but the kanji on all of the descriptions for LV2 did include the word 'camoflage type' in parentheses.

Zebra paint scheme. 391066[/snapback] Woah, don't give yamato any crazy ideas~! 391067[/snapback] Too late...the new LV3 (Zebra Scheme) has arrived. Way to go Project Phoenix. 391093[/snapback] YAY!! I knew it would come true! Thank you! Thank you Yamato!

Zebra paint scheme.

There is this guy online who sells DVD copies of old anime series like Dorvack and Dougram. The only catch are it's not subbed and it's quite expensive. I believe it's here. I've never done business with this guy so I have no idea if he's legit or not. I found his library of classic and oldies mind boggling...

Looks like the Drayman merchant ship from WC: Privateer game.

Bottom line: buy more valks.

The mecha designs looked like Last Exile rejects. For a moment there I thought it was some kind of lesbian hentai anime.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Those still shots are taken from the actual animation. The shots themselves doesn't impress at all. All it did was assure me that this attempt at milking money from unsuspecting folks will definitely end in failure. They could've done a lot better with today's animation technology is all that I'm saying. Storywise, I doubt it will be any better. All they're doing is trying to pin all 3 very different anime into what freakshow of an animation then labelling it as 'Original'. It's Sentinels all over again, this time with better looking babes in skin-tight suits with a fair amount of cleavage. I'm surprised they didn't include *gasp* Megazone 23. They could've introduced the military Garland and called it Cyclone Mk.2. Now THAT will be a hit with the Homotech fanboys. Macross was done back in the 80's with little budget. They were done by a bunch of college graduates with little or no experience in animation and they pulled it off. Compared to other contemporary anime titles at the time, of course they were not as good. But after that, with the advent of better technology in arts and sciences, they did better didn't they? Macross Plus, Macross 7 and Macross Zero remember? Hell, even DYRL was way better than the TV series. Here is my basic checklist as to why even Mospeada itself was better than HG's Homotech freakshow: 1) Original character design (no reusing or basing off previous character designs from OTHER titles. ie. didn't change their clothes and call them Scott Bernard) 2) Original plotline (the only other anime that features ragtag freedom fighters was Dorvack. Even that was executed differently) 3) Original mecha design (besides the Legioss, the Tread and the Ride Armor is fairly original. The Garland was similar but still different) Mikimoto's design is a hell lot better than this or any of those over-commercialized stuff you mentioned above. It's a no-brainer.

I disagree. That was back in the 80s and animation technology wasn't that great. This new production by the pirates at HG are using 21st Century techniques and this is the best they come up with.

Once again, it's Homotech. This time with boobies.

There is a Dorvack anime with a line of kits as well.

Slightly OT here. Do you guys think this is worth getting?

Welcome back to the Light.

Finally a quote as my sig. 388830[/snapback] I'm honored.

Soooo mean! I was a homotech fan once, then I learned Macross was it! I guess that's how we all started at one point. Unless you lived in Japan or somewhere they played the original SDF Macross TV series. Back to the point! Sell them! Order a 1/48 right now! You wont be able to put it down for a couple of years! 388353[/snapback] Sorry if I hurt anybody's feelings, I still feel cheated after all these years. Yes, I grew up watching the original Macross on TV. But I was too young to understand the plot. I only remembered the valks back then. Then in '88 I saw Row-boat-tech and thought it was Macross translated. It took me 5 years to realize I was duped by Uncle Macek and the Harmony Gold Bandits. By then, I've spent a small fortune buying their VHS release and crapzilla toys. I gave them away and return to the Light. The 1/48 is the ultimate toy for Macross. Unless they decided a 1/24 is better...

Toynami's Veritechs have a quality on par with a bootleg valk made from a backstreet alley workshop using leftover plastic parts but sold on premium pricing. Sell them to the rabid Homotech fans at jacked up prices and invest in REAL valks like the 1/48 line.

It's filthy cuz Uncle Macek has been flying it.
