treatment

japan-town doesn't have it? i forgot the name of the hobby-store there. they do charge quite a lot more for their inventory there, too. your best bet is to just order online from Valkyrie-Exchange or Twin Moons or BigBadToyStore.

They prolly just want all Macross and DYRL search-traffic going to their site, instead of say, our macross-retailers.

hahaha! which issue was this? so that we can all gauge how she look like. and fwiw, i know you didnt mean any offense with the term-usage. it's all good.

now that the GBP is out, or mostly out, we just need a really good scale SDF-1 for a really kewl DYRL-diorama!!!

prolly this weekend, the subs will come out.

yeah, just keep it simple and call us ASIAN period. No other special names will do, like nips, chinks, charlie, japs, chinito, fly lice, etc.... Hmm, I was informed by one of the Japanese people in town that his people most definetly did not want to be called asian (that was for people from Asia.) Has this changed? It was a number of years ago. Prolly still true. Most native Japanese don't want to be called anything other than Japanese. Same with the Chinese and everybody other Asians, too. They prefer to be referred to with their specific race. Just that some of us don't mind the term asian or asian-american when we're now living here in the States. Some born-here would rather be called americans, anyway. Afaik, none of them wanted to be called Oriental, either, since that pretty much is a known colonial-term.

It's not about being from the orient that's insulting. That term is already struck down from books since the 70's, iirc. It's just that "oriental" means rug to most asians/asian-americans people like me. I rather not have you whiteboys call our girls "oriental". We rather have you call our people (especially our girls) as asians/asian-american or chinese or japanese or vietnamese or thai, etc, etc, to be specific.

great. I haven't gotten any email-confirmation from HLJ, yet, tho.

from experience, ADV will f*ck up the dub. Again. Like they did to EVA, Nadesico, Azumanga Daioh, etc, etc, etc. I'm more concern that ADV may/will do a script-rewrite, either by HG-request or by their own asshattedness. Macek do work for ADV (part-time or otherwise) and him being anywhere near Macross-titles does not sit well with me. At all.

I tell yah, dude. The Hikaru-1S, even with the regular hands, still look more awesome and fearsome than the Max-1J. It just really looks like it'll kick the Max-1J's ass 20x over.

Why is that "too bad?" That kicks ass IMO. Torrents do kicks ass. Just that I know there are still other people who have issues with it, i.e. cheaters, don't-have/don't-know torrents-stuff, dial-ups, provider cracking down, yadayadayada. edit: OT, but LOL! I just now noticed the "Skull Leader's Lackey" tag. hahaha! quite funny. But wasn't there an MW-member named Skull Leader?

Infusion did a great and quick subbing of vol-3 the last time, compared to AOne. And they're members here at MacrossWorld as well. too bad it's currently torrents-only for both infusion and aone Zero-fansubs.

Ok, for anyone interested. I started a thread over at the relatively-neutral but industry-influential animeondvd.com http://forums.animeondvd.com/showflat.php?...sb=5&o=&fpart=1 Oughta get more exposure and industry-pressure there than here for this issue. Has Graham or anybody contacted BigWest or Yamato-toys regarding this yet-another-HG-(mis)adventure, yet? Maybe A7 here can post this macrossmovie-issue up at ANN site, too. We need escalation on this, imho.

got my notice, too. but unlike Graham, mine will prolly be delivered next week since I'm in the US. will let you guys know what the first-pressing goodies are on this vol-4 dvd.

seems like aod is down for me to try to confirm this find. At any rate and just to assume that the speculation is true, i'm not that hostile to HG finally bringing DYRL over here at R1. Wish it was Bandai or Geneon, but oh well. What I'm most concern about is ADV. They got Macek working there now. I don't know if they'll have him or another ADV-asshat do a frakking re-write again on it. Add to the fact that ADV's dub-actors this year are pathetic lamers who couldn't vocalize a hamster-voice inside a paperbag. damn. this is gonna be really interesting if DYRL is really coming stateside.

well, just got my shipping notification for it. seems like sal-shipping has gone up. it was 1580-yen this time. roughly $14-$15. it's the only thing i ordered. just an fyi.

fyi. http://www.hlj.com/scripts/hljpage.cgi?YMTMC-15 just add shipping. normally $10 or less for sal. ems will be higher, iirc.

Yeah, I know it's easy to delete a thread, but closing a thread is an even better moderator-duty. That way, members like me would know why such a thread is OT or not allowed altogether. sheesh.

hmm. what was the finale this time?

Yeah. Minmay got jacked big time in DYRL.

that is really kewl! very excellent.

Well, they're very correct. You shouldn't use and waste money buying Veritechs. Buy Valkyries instead. They'll all like it better.

hmm. Human-vs-Zentraedi (TV)= done. Human-vs-Artificial Intelligence (Plus) = done. Human-vs-Protodevlin (7) = done. Human-vs-Human (Zero) = not finished, yet. The only plot-line that has yet to be covered in Macross is the Human-vs-Supervision-Army stuff. I like to see that after Zero. Kawamori can tweak the timeline again by placing it either after Plus or after 7. No, MII-fans. Marduk != Supervision Army. The Protodevlin started the supervision army, so when humans were fighting humans and micronized Zjentohlauedy on Varuta (I think thats where it was) that in effect WAS the supervision army. The supervision army was made up of Protoculture, Zjentohlauedy, and other beings that were under mind control by the Protodevlin. Of course. That was M7, tho. And we all know how you love M7. The SA i'm talking about should be the ones being chased by the Zentraedi in Macross-TV prior to outbreak of Space-War 1 and that SA should specifically be unlike the Varuta-army, which were directly controlled by the Protodevlins in M7.

It's a little more severe than just "pussification" via lame television cartoon-programs. Before, we kids can actually play outside without supervision. We get to compete (sports, fights, etc, etc) against other kids in the neighborhood and others, without our parents getting involved or them knowing anything about it at all. The last thing any kid would want is to get his parents knowing about stuff that happened in the playground that's mainly all normal kids-stuff. We didn't have access to guns and stuff when we were young. In contrast, seems like the last 10-15 years, most kids have rather easy access to guns and other lethal weapons. It's both quite sad and terrifying to be a kid nowadays. Parental and community over-protection. Access to lethal weapons. 24-hour cartoon-channels that's mostly lame toy-pushers and doesn't promote any character and stuff. Yes, we had lame cartoons (jem, care bears, etc, etc) back when we were young, too, but we know exactly who watched those lame-shows and we call 'em at it. It was a pretty good and necessary attrition. Nowadays, the cartoons are still lame, but it's pretty much on 24/7. They're not just lame, but some of them are pretty much tasteless. Pretty much every kid watches them and there's no distinguishing between kids anymore. They all watch the same lame safe toy-pusher cartoons of this age. Oh, well. Kids will be kids. But I guess we just need to take care of the lame parents and lame adults for making this kind of world now. The parents are pretty much robbing the kids their kid-ness by being over-protective and some such. The lame adults are pretty much the reasons why parents are way too over-protective now. fwiw, remember Saturday Morning Cartoons in our youth? I'm finding the current late-nite Adult-Swim to be exactly what we know of SMC. Too bad, kids are not allowed to watch late-nite Adult-Swim shows, or Adult-Swim not being shown during the mornings.

add me in. i forgot about this show until your post. gawd. been awhile since i'd last seen an episode.
