  1. Stretching things how, again, did you see Rebirth? I didn't say Yamato wasn't ripe for a reboot, I just wish they had kept Leiji Matsumoto involved.
  2. Watch Yamato Rebirth. It's basically about Space America controlling the Space U.N. to stop the Space Middle Eastern people from taking in Earth refugee's (read Space Japan) after a moving black hole threaton's the planet. Space Germany (part of the Space U.N.) rebels against Space America, and get's taken out by them, the Yamato fights some more, and discovers that Space America is literally the interdimensional Space Devil (no seriously, this happens). The Yamato free's the Space U.N. & Space Middle Eastern planet from the Space Devil, and discovers that the moving black hole is actually a portal to Space Hell. During the course of the film, Yuki dies for absolutely no reason (she technically dissapears, but when the Space U.N. attacks her ship, only her hat is found). The only other blonde female aboard the Yamato also dies pretty nastily while fighting the portal to Space Hell, since someoen thought it'd be a good idea to stock the auxilery target, I mean bridge with an all female astro-mapping crew. The End. Seriously, this is 100% the plot of Yamato Rebirth..
  3. Wow, so much Zeta hate.... And really, the reason for humanoid mecha will always be because it looks really f^cking cool, no futher justificatin needed.
  4. No, definately not the same staff that worked on Rebirth. And more importantly, Nishizaki is gone, as is his irrational hatred of the U.S. & blonde women (well, you've seen Rebirth, you know), so this should be straight up Yamato. I'm digging the preview, though it is jarring to see Matsumoto styled ships with generic character designs. I wouldn't import this, but I'd sure pick it up if it gets licensed.
  5. Not sure why you hate the Madoka designs so much, it's not like they have Escaflowne noses
  6. That's why I didn't ask if HG put up video, I'm asking if whichever HG sock monkey puts up the video's put it up.
  7. But also set's a bad precedent for licensing at their normal rates, which is exactly why it won't happen.
  8. Any youtube video of this announcement? Or was it another one of those "camera's off" moments?
  9. How far have you gotten? Unicorn has stayed pretty consistent with its quality through out these first 4 episodes. Dare I say the best thing Gundam since Zeta & Turn-A.
  10. And you will have a Vita when the innevitable Macross game comes out there too, and enjoy the high res renders that we've been enoying on the PS3 demo's.
  11. Still haven't started Star Driver yet, but I did just watch the first volume of Madoka Magica, which was just as awesome as advertised.
  12. Since BV (Japan) was doing that themselvse too, it'll probably still be there.
  13. Uh huh, sure it is. Although it's been what, 4-5 years? That's enough time for a non-compete embargo to end if indeed WB made HG sign one.
  14. ] John Lennon never married Paul Mccartney.
  15. That explains much
  16. Wait, does that mean Amano sempai was really Takizawa's mother, and not the bar owner? No wonder he couldn't find her!
  17. I actually thought there was an announcement not long ago about artdink making a smartphone version of their Macross games. As for the 3DS, the Gundam Battle game that was ported to it didn't do so hot.
  18. Still not 100% sure on this, but we may not have to import the 4th & 5th episodes afterall. Rightstuf has the first 4 disc's back up for order (bluray), and after writing them they implied that the release is still on track (as far as they know). It'll still be a good month or two before they'd begin listing episode 5 though. As for the DVD version of 5 & 6, that's still off unless someone decides to relicense it.
  19. So you prefer Reba West's drunken warbling? Ok....
  20. That's Jimi Lennon to you!
  21. He's just lucky I'm not a mod, it'd totally end up being his member title
  22. If your point is hinging on claiming the original language + text translation is somehow less original content & meaning than a complete re-dub/localization, then you're point defeated itsef before you made it. Aside from that, I never claimed watching subtitled anime will make you fluent in Japanese, it will however give you a familiarity with the language & context that dubs won't.
  23. Super Robot Wars Alpha/Z Well, Macross Plus Game Edition was a 3D fighting game of sorts.. Exactly what we all need, Macross tetris...
  24. If you fail to see the relevence in a topic that spawned this one, then that's your limitation. As for the seperate matter of fan projects: -Mods (aside from scratch builds) take pre-existing merch usually to produce varients that don't currently exist. Still supporting the franchise. -Fanart/Fanfiction, two entirely different ends of the spectrum. Bottom line, far more often than not, attempts at fanfiction are rarely done in the name of "tribute." They routinely wind up as a means of pretending to be creative. Fanart on the other hand more often than not fals into the tribute catagory. Dare I say if we didn't already have a great game franchise to support, a fanproject might be a viable option, but really, there's no point in it.
