Yup, the internet is definately starting to feel old. Worse yet, as huge as it supposedly is, I find myself visiting the same old sites most of the time.
I'm loving all these new Destiny developements, can't wait to see the series in a few months. Though I don't understand why some are surprised that the SEED cast is taking center stage more, hell, I wish Amuro had taken more of an active role in Zeta.
Don't forget, Sara's powers weren't limited to "flying rocks," she also had the ability to highten living energy with her song. Check out Episode 4, flowers, animals, bugs, etc, all gained strength from her singing, ala Anima Spiritia.
What reality are you living in? 7 was a huge success, no matter how much you think your dislike for it makes it a failure, it was still a huge success. Your version of history also seems somewhat skewed. It was Plus that Kawamori was forced to make, so he re-wrote his Advanced Valkyrie storyline to fit it. He was basically told that he couldn't do a new series until he did a Macross Project first. Apparently it piqued his interest, and 7 soon went into production too. But to try & argue that Zero is a departure from everything 7, when the entire storyline basically re-inforces everything that was introduced in 7 is just plain silly.
If you don't like 7, get over it, many did.
I just don't see Stik there, unless that's a shot of him after getting socked in the stomach... I wonder if hte 70's mustache guys from The Sentinels will return.
So wait, you're saying Macross II was more adult because it had more sex? While the panty-less Wendy was an interesting scene, 7 had far more instances with possessed Akiko jumping all over..well everyone. Naked Civil, Rex & her zipper, Chiba's questions during the Jamming Birds try outs, Milia, etc.
Macross 7 fans are far from in the minority, as much as it's detracters hate to acknowledge it, the show was more popular than the original series. Macross 7 fans just aren't as vocal.
A psycommu or psychoframe that enables its pilot to enhance mobile suit performance with their newtype abilities (ala Zeta & Nu) would be about all that's left.
There's always play.com, but it's the boxed set.
No, we're talking about the R2 Japanese release, not the R2 UK release. Japanese release has significantly better audio/video over the U.S. & U.K. releases (which are essentially the same disc's pressed for both countries).
The DC discs of the Platinum release or the non-Platinum DC releases? I have the DC DVD before the current Platinum releases, so I'm happy with those. Right now I just can't justify double dipping EVA DVDs as tuition here at the university is going up, up, up, and my TV is giving up the ghost, meaning I'm going to have to start creating a new TV fund.
If you have the regular DC disc's you're cool, and watch the DC ep 24!
