Initially no, but the more you watch, the more you pick up. No one says you actually "have" to actively learn the language, that is what the subtitles are for. Your analogy is pretty flawed. It'd be more akin to saying you should read a translation of a book, rather than listening to a re-written & localized book on tape version of the book.]

Can't help but wonder what kind of ass-backwards bootleg you've watched if you saw a paragraph of text on screen, but the logic in watching something subtitled over dubbed is simple. -It's got the oriignal language that the property was made in. -It's got the original direction of the actor's playing the characters, i.e. the characters are portrayed in the way that the creator's intend them to be. -It's got the original dialogue, i.e. no "smart" rewrites by amature writers that are rampant in dubs, and no "localization" replacing something that was originally there with something more familiar (note, this does happen from time to time in subtitle scripts too, but the original dialogue is still present when that happens). -We live in a world with many different languages, get used to it! -You actually pick up important nuances about languages when you expose yourself to them. -You'd be surprised abotu how much you start to pick up from just listening to the language with the subtitles, after a while you get to a point where you can spot "bad" subtitle translatesions when you come across them, but still understand what's actually being said. But for me, and most importantly, if you're watching something dubbed into another language, you're not actually watching what was made, just someone elses version of it.

And yet they're mostly the same cast. Pass on that dub thank you

I Second this. The CotB dub has far more heart in it than any U.S. dub ever has. As for the Evangelion dub, The guy they have playing Shinji is almost as terrible as dub Tenchi. The chick they had playing Asuka is far too obnoxious, and the guy they had playing Gendo came off as more generic conniving badguy than the proper cold & calgulated character t hat the character actually is.

Fanfic's are nothing more than fanwanking by people to afraid to even attempt to write something original. I don't go around that part of the forum for a reason, if you really want to know why, look up some old alt.fan.macross posts. Costomizing models isn't in the same catagory as all of this, and for some reason garage kits & fanart aren't either. Perhaps because those things pay more homage to the property. This case specifically is literally an unnecessary excorsize. He seems to want to play a game that's imued with the Macross "experience," and yet admits he's only played a rom of one. If he wants to play a Macross styled game, it exists, all he needs to do is put his money where his mouth is, rather than hoping that someone makes him one for free.

Remember that was also an inhabited city, the concern was more likely over collateral from both the explosion & the fallout.

"The Galaxy Is Calling Me" takes place precisely between episodes 42 & 43. After the attempted capture of Glabil, but before Operation Stargazer.

Watching Gurren Lagann dubbed only strengthen's the ant-spirals!

Called this one months ago.

All fanfics, and most homebrews. Mods are interesting in that they can bring new life to long dead PC games. In this specific case, we already have a great series of games that brings home the "Macross Experience." I'm failing to see the need to put effort into making a game that already exists triumphantly. Now if he was talking about trying to get someone to license or bring over the artdink games, then obviously someone would have to inform him about the licensing issues.

OMG that dude's hilarious!

You kids better start playing nice, or I'll make you all pop in an episode of Macross iI.

Would only work with the Wii version, since that also has motion control Complains & does nothing, except enjoy & financially support the releases of the awesome games we have, instead of wishing someone would make a crappy & unnecessary homebrew.

Basara is Basara, that's all you need to know. BOMBA!

lol, they are beating every inch of that dead horse aren't they? "Hey, what can we do to stall now?" "Let's release ep's of each individual song, that way we can prolong trying to do actual work for another 2 years."

So you expect to make a game that's somwhow "better" than the PSP games using a DS game maker utility? Why can't you just play the PSP games again???

None of those stats explain why it takes so long to release something that's 95% already animated! Are they doing their own inbetween animation in house at the HG office? Are the animators stuck on a boat from China?

Gundam SEED Battle Destiny! Plus you know there's going to be a Macross game within a year.

That's loser talk! And then you were disproven beyond the shadow of a down, and classified as Wanzerfan 2012.

If only there were a super robot that incoroporated the best features of both. Oh wait, there is, GAOGAIGAR!

Optimus Prime is just a truck rip-off of the RX-78 Gundam. Check and mate! You haters sure now how to run away & go off tangent w hen you're losing though. Anyone can shoot first, Basara got right up into the enemies faces & sang first. Besides which, don't think I need to get into how solo embodies all the same qualities of a non-changing static character through out SW.

Somewhat interesting news. Bandai Visual just announced that they're including English subs with the AGE blurays. I'm still hoping for a surprise announcement about subs on the Macross & Gunbuster blurays...

The point is that the things being complained about in Macross 7 are common themes/occurances in many anime series. Besides which, complaining about facial features on mecha is just as stupid as complaining about fingers on mecha. You guys might as well be crying out "robots should have claws, not hands." MAHQ is searching hard? You guys are hilarious!

Wow, now G Gundam bashing. Do you guys even watch anime? BTW, take a close look at the F91 http://www.mahq.net/mecha/gundam/f91/lineart/f91-openhead.jpg And tell me that thing doesn't have a mouth. All Gundam types have eyes, and some variation on samurai armor mask/face. Hating on mecha for having something that resembles a face is a weakass argument to make.
