treatment

Actually, Meltrans only exist in DYRL and the story stops there. No stuff about Millia's daughters at all. However in TV, Millia is a Zentran and had a daughter and some more daughters (M7), while in Plus, Guld's father was a Zentran.

I always thought it was a homage to Maison Ikkoku's piyo-piyo chick symbolism.

yes.

It's Chi's previous memory.

Last I heard and read from Renewal-owners and reviewers, there's a tremendous difference in video, audio, extras, and packaging difference in favor of the R2 Renewal over ADV's and Mangle's EVA-wackjobs. There's also a tremendous difference between the price: $400+ for the Renewal vs around $150 for ADV's Eva-tv. Boxsets, I mean. I guess the R2-EVA dvd-singles was just recently out at $30-$35 a disc. I'm now tempted to order one myself. Yes, no subtitles. add: here's the discussion over at AoD-forum regarding the new EVA Renewal R2-remasters http://forums.animeondvd.com/showflat.php?...o=&fpart=1&vc=1

Boomer aka Grace Park interview. http://scifi.about.com/library/weekly/aa120603.htm w00t! more Grace Park pics! http://battlestar.ugo.com/girls/grace_park.php she's damn friggin hot for a korean chick. add: oh, the Girls of Galactica. Original and New. Do the compare... http://battlestar.ugo.com/girls/

I fall into the middle-ground after finishing this new one. Starbuckett was a bad idea. A really bad idea. It prolly would have worked if the acting and the actress was good, but she wasn't. She was just flat and lifeless and fugly as a character. I know it's a tall order to re-do or re-place the original Starbuck, but this Starbuckett-compromise just did not work out. Other than her and the obnoxious pit-crews, the other characters (boomer, adama, apollo, beltar) were good upgrades from the original. The new Cylon Centurions were okay overall. The upgraded ships (cylon and colonials) were really done and animated well. The battle-scenes were spectacular. The one thing that this new Galactica was thoroughly missing was the humor of the original, perpetuated by none other than Starbuck. The very presence of Starbuck in the original alone was good comedy in itself. Also, the dark aspects of the new show were just so cheap. The new show's writers and actors should have watched and study how to do dark aspects and dark humor from the X-Files. --treatment--

just finished watching it. All I can say is.... ROFLMAO!!!! The space-battle continues to be the best part of this show. it's a friggin Macross-DYRL battle remake! without the transformation and main gun stuff. The characters still were cheesy. Only Adama and Apollo really acted good and gave it real good. The rest were all Mehhhh. With the capital M. Especially Starbuckett. Oh, yeah. The asian chick Boomer. She can't act, but she's still HOT! And she's even more hotter as ...... hahaha! omg! i'm busting out laughing here. hahaha! by your command. lol! oh, man. noriko spoiled it already. lol!

wtf?! wtf happened to Apollo? that was freakin' lame and really cheap. --- btw, Anubis. the Viper MK-2 and the other battlestars were cracked. Sci-Fi channel's repeating it right now. Whoa! I see the Cylons Centurions! They've been upgraded!

I haven't seen an actual walking Cylon Centurion, yet. There was just a head-relic in the museum. There was the Cylon female spy, tho. Baltar's lover. I'm not really sure how they're portraying Baltar, tho. It seems like he's not the evil traitor anymore. The Cylon fighter-ships have the flashing red-light, tho. Pretty good effects.

I'm watching it right now. The lowdown: The first half was pure cheesy drama crap. Yes, the famous Starbuck is now a woman. And she's a dyke with no character charisma at all. Just a pure wallflower with really corny lines. The Galactica pit-crews were all morons acting like morons. Way too cheesy. Boomer's one hot asian chick! Too girly and too cheesy, tho. I guess Apollo's the only actual hero now. I like the way they upgraded his character to the forefront instead of re-relegating him to the original's second-stringer to Starbuck. He's got more angst. Pretty well done, I say. The space battles with the Viper, the Viper MK2, and the Cylon ships were done pretty well. Better than Babylon-5 and Star Trek visuals. They have some of the patented Macross drunken missile effects. Overall, not bad. The second-half (space battles, Apollo) pretty much redeemed the show for me. I hope they take away the cheesy drama in the future episodes and just focus on the space battles. Oh, btw, the Skull Squadron of DYRL will still kick Galactica, Cylons, and Vipers combined asses. --treatment--

here's the same scene from Infusion's timecode 3m:56ss the Infusion-fansub do have softer/less-contrast imaging than the Anbu-fansub. Difference between sources, I think. Anbu has dvd-source whereas Infusion has raw-source.

I've noticed that both the Infusion and ANBU-AonE Mac Zero ep # 3 are choppy in places especially during the CGI Valk action scenes. When it's just the cell animated characters talking things seem fine. I downloaded Mac Zero ep # 1 from another group and it was not choppy at all. As I'm new at downloading, I'm not sure if it's a problem with the download itself or with my hardware/software set up. Anyway, I've still got my original R2 DVD to fall back on, even tho it's only raw Japanese Graham The Anbu fansub has some intermittent layering/macro-blocking issues. here's a snap from timecode 3m:56ss:

here. ep-3. time-code 11m:04s

No. It's a Green Lantern thing.

Same reservations here about Animeigo, too. Animeigo excels at restoring old titles, but I don't think the 1999 DYRL dvd needs any a/v restoration. If DYRL needs an upgrade, it will prolly need a 5.1 or 6.1 and DTS upgrades for R1. I'm also thinking Bandai might get it coz of their sheer weight in the industry, tho Pioneer/Geneon and ADV would prolly put up a fight for it. Funimation did a pretty good job on Fruba and have lots of money from the DB/DBZ/DBGT franchise. They also now have Kiddy Grade, so they're a dark horse to snatch the DYRL R1-license.

What about Urban Vision? I honestly forgot about Urban Vision. Could they have the money, luv and expertise to handle DYRL?

It prolly stands for Proto Culture Signal/Signature. Maybe Egan knows.

I listed 4kids just as a throw-away joke-option, even tho I believe they still have money from their Pokemon releases. Of course, I wasn't expecting somebody to actually vote for it, but somebody did and it wasn't me. I didn't list TokyoPop both because of the recent Trash-7 fiasco and because of the infamous Initial-D crap-tweak release. I also didn't list Media Blasters because of the still-ongoing mono-audio issue on their releases

Thanks for providing those links, I can now get both audio and video. Sound is excellent and picture quality is very clear, however, the video keps pausing and skipping a lot, especially in the CG Valk action scenes. It's just short pauses of like a half a second and then a skip ahead of maybe a second. It is very frequent and very noticable. It doesn't happen much during the cell animated character parts. I downloaded ep# 2 & # 3 and it happens with both. This is my first time ever to try downloading anything. Any idea what could be causing this? My computer is fairly low spec, actually you could say 'antique' these days, PIII 700MHz, 256 ram. Graham I'm not sure as I didnt notice any pausing from my computer. It could be RAM or cache-buffers/pagefile related. Or something else. Fwiw, I would still suggest you upgrade your RAM to at least 512mb for snappier overall system performance on everything. You current 256mb is really a bare minimum even for a P3-class computer.

The only one who's 13-yo and below here is you. Read further down. Then you're a complete asshat dumbfrakk to "criticize", diss, and TROLL something THAT YOU HAVE NOT SEEN YET! Do you honestly think that us MWers will just hold our tongue and not post anything against Infusion if we do find something that was wrong with their subs? SO frakkING WHAT? No. Do us all a favor and stop coming and posting here. You are not here to discuss Macross. You are only here to troll. You deserve to be perma-ban. --treatment--

I think most of us MWers either have the old fansub, the LD, the region-0 bootleg (mi and fx), and the official Region-2. Some of us prolly even have the COTB crap. However, I'm _still_ hopeful that DYRL will get an official Region-1 release in this day and age and with all these excellent and better A/V technology at their disposal. So, which R1-shop would you prefer getting it for R1-release. Try to state your reasoning. Consider that an official R1 will have an English-dub, whether we like it or not.

Besides Hikaru blowing up Bodolza, there's another noteworthy Hikaru kill. Hikaru in a VF-1A blowing up a Nousjadeul-Ger in front of Delta-One. Then turning around for one of his money-shots. One of the best fanservice in mecha-anime.

Ok, guys. It's all good to state opinions and criticisms in a thread. However, it is thoroughly inappropriate to have one dude continuously troll the Infusion-thread with what now has proven to be just repeated jealousy and envy. His "comments" does not add anything to the discussion. I daresay that the only reason this joker joined MW is just to diss and troll Infusion's release. It's just unnecessary drama. Some nerds just don't wanna grow up. It complete distracts from a decent discussion of the Macross Zero story-content. I'm not trying to defend Infusion. I don't even like fansubs in general coz of the friggin baggage of drama that they always come with. If and when other groups release their versions of ep-3, that's fine with most of us. Maybe then we can start an actual comparison-thread. But as it is right now, there isn't one other than Infusion. Friggin warn or ban the troll already. Please.
