    Who is the Best Pilot?

    in Movies and TV Series

    Posted

    Isamu I feel should definitely be near the top of the list, you don't put anybody behind the controls of a test aircraft that costs insane amounts of money unless they are at the top of the field. I feel that if we saw him in a Space-War 1 situation we might have a new top-of-the-list, but I'm not convinced from what we saw of him that he's #1. His dog-fights with Guld were legendary, and he survived anti-aircraft fire from the Sharon-controlled SDF-1. If he was doing both at the same time, then I'd feel confident in calling him the best. But he didn't. So I won't.

    Also, I'm surprised that Alto got rated higher than Ozma (by a vote), since Ozma definitely struck me as the more talented pilot in Frontier. Both Alto and Shin show great potential, but their lack of experience would automatically put them behind Roy and Ozma IMHO.

    Completely agree! I am very surprised Roy and Ozma are not ranked higher. Also I think Hikaru should've been ranked much higher than Ismu and Basura simply b/c of the vast amount of actual space combat he experienced, leadership and the older technology used.

    As for other newer pilots like Shin and Alto, I think they both had more potential but Shin in my books wins b/c he really developed his "awareness" of his surroundings and learned the fundamental concept of Bruce Lee's JDK, "adapting/formlessness".

    How far would you go for some Macross lovin'?

    Hm, well I searched for over 16 years for just one of the DYRL cels I have of Minmay from the climax. When I finally got it the search was definitely well worth the effort! :)

    Also I was among the early group of people who petitioned AnimEigo to get the licensing for the Macross TV series. Then when AnimEigo finally got it, I told everyone I knew who remotely liked anime and bought a few sets as well. Back then for the early buyers we paid a hefty pricetag, however, it was well worth the wait and efforts to finally get this classic on dvd! I know thanks to the strong efforts the dedicated fans made to petition AnimEigo we helped bring Macross to North America on dvd much sooner than later. :D

    It really doesn't help, they all look like gunbuster. But how do i know which one is more accurate?

    I already did one low poly model, it is avaliable at turbosquid, but isn't good.

    Well if you are looking for comparison pics from all of the existing GB models and toys that is harder to provide. However if you are looking at the older models start here: http://home.comcast.net/~valkyrie2036/gunbuster/models.html and http://www.toponeraegunbuster.com/Gunbuster-Models.html

    then move onto

    http://www.toponeraegunbuster.com/Gunbuster-Toys.html

    also check out detailed pics of the various GB toys and figures at the Yahoo Gunbuster2 group, if you haven't joined you should do so!

    Ultimately, I think a lot depends on your budget and how patient you are. Many of the older models and GB toys are not readily available so it may take awhile. Happy hunting! :)

    DarrinG most TV, DYRL and FB cels of the primary characters range from 500 to 2000+. A lot depends on the scarcity, composition, character, condition, setting, and of course if the background is present. If your budget is below 100 you might fare better obtaining Macross7 cels. Happy hunting.
