treatment

So, uhh, just an fyi for the MXC minions here. The schedule says it's an all-day MXC-day today, too.

geezus! I make a good living myself, but i don't think i can afford what you just did in one year, let alone in one month like you did. but, my hat's off for yah.

fyi since I know we got EVA contingents here. The rather interesting (to say the least) drama-thread about this ADV's EVA-platinum already had started and going on strong. Still, nobody in that thread knows for sure if this Platinum-edition is the actual Renewal-version. Some assumes it is. I'm not one of those assuming. I'll be on a wait-n-see mode on this. I want Renewal-version, and not some hacked-up re-release ala Robotech-Remasters/EVA-DC. Fwiw, if you haven't bought EVA r1, but are still planning to do so, this Platinum edition might be the one to purchase.

Yup. The dub on Seed was pretty good. I'm surprized Ocean Group voiced it good on the first episode, considering it normally takes approximately nine-episodes to get used to Ocean Group dubs.

Yup. They did. The GITS:SAC SE-version is now price at $37.46 http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/ca...tem/62807/4/0/0

TRSI pre-order page is up for Gits-SAC!!! Special-Edition for $44.96 at http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/ca...tem/62807/4/0/0 regular-edition for $18.71 at http://www.rightstuf.com/1-800-338-6827/ca...tem/62806/4/0/0

Actually, "Anata o kanjite-iru - Mia Santi Ren" is on the Macross II OST Vol. 2 CD. It's track 17. Yeah, you're right. It was in OST-2.

The song is Yakusoku (promise) and is included in the japan-only MacII OST-2 and in the Macross Character Songs cds. However, the dub-version of MII also featured a bgm just before playing the Yakusoku-song that I don't recall the title. The vocal-song prior to that bgm was Riding in Your Valkyrie, iirc.

- Moichido Love You That song is not in the OST-1, but is in OST-2 and Macross Character Songs. - Anata wo Kanjiteiru is another (more elusive, rather) Macross-II Ishtar-song that's only available in the Macross Character-Songs cd and not in either of the two MII-OSTs. Most likely this is the one Ishtar-song you're missing since it has no lyrics available, iirc. CDJapan still sells Macross The Complete for $67 + s/h (typically $10 to usa), so it's around $77 in total.

Macross The Complete contains music from the TV and DYRL only. Mac-II has it's own soundtracks. Two of them. The second-ost (japan-only) contains the missing Ishtar song.

Great job, dude! Very nice.

It's mostly a one-time-only routine and then it's all-region for the rest of the life of the player.

heh! Besides my dvd-roms players, I'm using this standalone coby-215 since I know of the rather easy all-region hack for it . got it for like $30-$35 at Fry's late last year. Progressive, mp3 and some stuff. It doesn't have audio-5.1 outs, tho, like it's older sibling the 515, but I missed out on the sale on the 515.

They've been doing that since '01/'02, iirc. As such, iirc, they were showing the painful dub-version of M-II back in '01/'02. Unless they changed and now showing the subs-version.

Just hoping it's soon. oh, yeah. for the triplets-fanboys, here:

Speculation is rampant right now that La Verite may get an R1-release since Geneon is listed. No official confirmations, yet, tho.

Ai Oboete Imasuka aka DYRL.

errr, it's "losing" coz the episodes don't come out quickly enuff.

huh? what was that for? He's got the Minmay doll. THE MINMAY DOLL Most of us don't.

bastard.

It is preposterous to compare character development area betweeen Plus and Zero, since Plus had finished and Zero is still going on. Iow, since Zero is still not finished, character development is in progress in Macross Zero. Fwiw, here are the major character-developments in Zero so far, imho: [*] Shin: -- skills: from hothead ace F14-pilot to a grunting second-rate Valkyrie-pilot that's still adjusting to Zero's new multi-role combat capabilities and new combat tactics. -- emotions: from typical arrogant angsty loner to a more worldly and sociable dude that realizes and acknowledges the inherent conflict between old-world culture (mayan superstitions, myths, lore and laws) and new-world culture (technology and medical benefits) and strives to bridge the two for Mayan sake. Still sorting out his feelings with Sara and at the same time realizing Mao's rather-inappropriate advances. [*] Sara -- deadset against technology and outsiders. Slowly accepting Shin as a man, but still has reservations and hostilities about everything that is not Mayan, including her mixed emotions with Shin. [*] Mao -- Established opposite viewpoint against Sara's Mayan-only viewpoint. Developed first crush on Shin and realized her sister Sara is a rival. Sibling-rivalry.

Nice! But I'm still saving up for the PG GP-01FB. I'll get that Wing-ka afterwards.

Hey, Six. Nice idea for a Miria-pose. I haven't tried that posing, but I'm assuming it balances out good on the 1/60.

Yeah. The purple-ness could very well be just the lighting-effects caused by the sunset. Quite a nice and realistic color-effect detailing, tho.
