I'm looking at you Fruits Basket!

Thanks to the power of MW & Jason, I've now got the shiny remaster with subs of Macross 7, BOMBA!! So anyhoo, Accidentally watched an episode too far, because I forgot exactly where you guys were, but "Angel Night" is the first reveal at where the series is really heading. Gigil still quite pissed that Gepelnitch is being secretive about his plot, illuding to "dreams," just wants to go crack heads & steal spiritia. Meanwhile Mylene still naive to the bigger picture going on with Ray & Basara, once agian gets angry at Basara for invalidating her opinion on singing, i.e. she doesn't understand Basara's gruff way of telling her she's overthinking things, and decides to quite. Now here's as very intersting subtext at this moment. Many tend to believe that Basara is a selfish closeminded idealist that only see's his way of doing things, and has no time for anyone else. "But," take a look at what's actually going on. Basara actually is fired up about Mylene's songs to, and care's about what she's putting into it. Hell, if all Basara cared about was the "Basara show," why would he even waste time with Mylene's solo vocals? As seen here, he's just trying to help her see the bigger picture, and get away from "Honey's" fashionable marketable way of playing. Bassara realizes full well that Mylene is an integral part of the band, so much so that he immediately accepts Ray's scolding, and goes after her. This being the first indication of the rough time they've had keeping bass players (later touched again on encore ep "On Stage." Meanwhile sulking Mylene stumbles across Alice Holiday, a singer who's lot her passion because of that same marketing system Mylene keeps trying to adapt to. But something interesting happens. Just as the Varuta "coincidentally" target Alice to test Gepelnitch's theory about musicians having spiritia regeneration abilities, and oblivious to everyone except the Varuta, Mylene's passion to help re-inspire Alice actually regenrate's Alice's stolen Spiritia, hell, not only regenerates, but surpases her previous level. Did Basara's guitar playing factor in to? Somewhat likely. But here we have the key moment that will send all future events rolling. Gepelnitch now is certain that his dream of a never ending source of Spiritia can be achieved. And our Fire Bomber is finally starting to show that a sound more explosive than missiles is achievable, even if they don't realize it themselves. Also, bonus points for Sweet Fantasy, one of my favorite Mylene songs. I say we double up on episodes this week, and watch "Deep Ballad" before Friday, so we can get to "Minmay Video" faster! I honestly can't decide if its more exciting watching 7 for the first time not knowing what's going to happen, or watching it again with anticipation for the epic things to come.

Before everyone gets toy import happy, don't forget about the lead paint!

Great commercial! On a slightly related note, I wonder why both Ultimate & Ace haven't made it onto the Japanese playstation store yet.

Your homework assignment: Watch DYRL You are FOREBODEN! from all Macross related discussion until you have done so.

What are you talking about, STAND UP TO THE VICTORY was freakin' awesome. Besides, if you turn back now, you'll never see one of the top most tweaked moments in anime. Oh and Katajina, crazy female is thy name!

Weak move Hollywood, weak move. On the bright side, no more need to wait on that bluray box.

Wait a minute, didn't Fonzy become a teacher towards the end of Happy Days? Hmm...

When will Hollywood learn that the true secret about Asia, is that every ex-motorcycle gang member turned unconventional teacher, will stand and deliver!

I think you give hollywood far too much credit, implying that they can tell the difference between anyone living in asia from another, let alone being able to distinguish between marshall arts. This is the same hollywood that gave us "Memoirs of a Concubine," as they should have called it...

Uranus?

You know, I might actually have had respect for HG if they had the nuts to pull something like tihs. Yet again we are shown how enterprising they aren't.

I can imagine, Voyager's Yamato movie box set is complete with several instances of the VHS master having been mangled at some point. Just when you thought DVD would save us from the old days of munched tape syndrom...

No, not in this futuristic age we live in.

OMG that's so awesome, I can't wait to see what the DVD's look like.

As long as I have a bluray with english subtitles in my hot little hands, I'll be happy. Speaking of which, is Voyager Entertianment still alive? They can't possibly be surviving on their old VHS composite masters of Yamato in our modern HD era can they?

Here is how this will go down: -Fox kids licenses it for their next big hit -HG sues for "copyright infringement" -Fox steps on HG like a bug -PROFIT!!

That won't stop them. In order to shut down HG, we'll all have to band together to pretend we live in the area's they have their realestate dealings in, pretend to be obnoxiou soccupents, and scare away any potential buyers. Only then can we truly destroy HG!!

I was more referring to that being hsi main focal point, as well as assuming someone who was already playing the game wouldn't have realized it.

What are you, 12?

?! RUUUN!!

Don't feel bad, a lot of U.S. Macross fans just aren't capable of achieving the high level of HOT BLOODED PASSION that's required to be a Macross 7 fan. But there are some of us who understand, and we love harder than the rest. In fact you can call me the greatest U.S. Nekki Basara/Fire Bomber/Macross 7 fan, "In The Universe, Just so you Know..." ::MACHINE TRANSLATION GO!!:: 悪く感じないでください、そして、多くの米国マクロスのファンはただマクロスの7ファンであることが必要であるHOT BLOODED PASSIONの高いレベルを達成できません。 しかし、分かる私たちの何人かがあります、そして、私たちは残りより一生懸命愛しています。 事実上、あなたは、私を最もすばらしい米国のNekki Basara/発砲Bomber/マクロス7のファンと呼ぶことができます。 「宇宙、Justでは、そのように、あなた、Know、」 …

I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say his over emphasis on the loli aspects of anime are a pretty big tell. Just as hardcore gaybashers tend to have repressed tendancies, I'd wager that this guys odd vendetta about anything even remotely loli in anime is to cover up latent pedo-tendancies in him.

The best thing about WXIII, was that when I rented it many years ago, it had a trailer for Mahoromatic! At which point I immediately picked up Mahoromatic!! (well, not immediately enough, I missed some of the first press extra's).
