I use a shareware copy of gif construction set, pretty easy & straightforward.

The Uchuu Senkan Yamato Flagship Andromeda Arcadia And hell, another vote for just about any ship designed by Matsumoto.

How can you not own Arcadia Of My Youth yet! Screw money, go out and steal one. That's life under the flag of freedom! I wonder what's taking so long for the HK companies (or hell, even a U.S. company) to touch Galaxy Railways. Hell, I'm surprised no ones ripped the harlock TV box set that just came out yet. And damnit, they need to finish GE:999 TV. Stopping at episode 36 is nothing resembling fair damnit!!!!

Here's an update on the Yamato movies set, honestly I was hoping for a bit more of the box art but hey, what can you do. Still haven't recieved mine yet, hopefully within a week though.

I wonder how much they'll edit all the bouncing breasts in the show...

Unless media blasters fix their little "mono" audio problem, I'll stick with my R3 set.

Does anyone know why the hell they do that? To fit in more commercials. Glad I picked up the HK set last year though, don't think I'd be able to sit through the series as it is on CN.

The omission of the intro, excessive commercial breaks, and altering of the end credits just ruin the whole flow of the show.

Now you are just whining. That's ok, you can have your last word, I'll stand firm knowing I had the last relavent portion of the argument.

Looks like MZ23 volume 1 is set for June 1st http://www.animeondvd.com/reviews2/disc_reviews/3039.php Appears to be a disc 1 only & disc 1 with box release (would have prefered a soundtrack damnit!). What an odd choice in art though, I expected them to use some of the Mikimoto art.....oh wait, it's ADV, nevermind... Hell, look at the heavy use of green, already going for the Matrix tye-in.

Don't let little old me hold hostage your drive for self improvement! Get on it now. Oh...And for future refrence, it's "learn to master the art of wit" Nope, I specifically said "learn the masterful art of wit," of course how could I expect such a thing from someone who can only resort to trying to re-organize sentance & word struction (of a sentence there was nothing wrong with in the first place) as a reply.

You really should follow your own advice... I'll get on that as soon as you learn the masterful art of wit.

:yawn: yeap...that went right over your head Cut the B.S., and at least make some effort in paying attention to a show when you're trying to argue a point about it.

I'll try to make this as simple as possable...just focusing on the Emaan universe, but it will still fly right over your head ... Scenario 1: Emaan universe exists, Mimsy exists, the space-time bomb never detonates and thus nothing is effected in this universe...Mimsy and some male Emaan get together and she has a child, grows old and dies...this is the "normal" timeline Scenario 2: again Emaan universe exists, as does Mimsy...but the space-time bomb goes boom...Mimsy gets sucked to other universe...life continues on...the would be father to Mimsy's child in Scenario 1 doesn't get transported to another universe and so he hooks up with some other woman..and they have a child Scenario 3: same as scenario 2, but Mimsy returns pregnant with Kei's child...Male whom was left behind has child with other woman Each scenario results in a completely different set of children... things can't return to the normal timeline if the bomb goes off, and if the bomb never detonates, there would be no TV series ... end of story! Don't give me your tv sci-fi "if you go back in time & make something never happen, then it will happen all over again in an endless loop" crap! As shown, Kei & Orsen "did" fix things by traveling back in time, there's no reason to believe that it would result in them never traveling back in time for the original events to loop all over again, and obviously Mimsy wouldn't have Kei's child once events were corrected.

What's wrong? Perhaps the fact that Shogo didn't get laid all summer long, and that there doesn't appear to be any distinction in seasons inside the Megazone...and it's freakin' stupid!

Who wants to take bets on whether or not they'll try to throw matrix references into the dub?

And what would be the point in showing Mimsy in the time relative to that which Kei traveled back to (or if you prefer, originated from?), none! Argue all you want, but the fact remains it was specifically explained in Orguss that only a handful of Universes were intertwined (not infinate possabilities), that it was isolated entirely to the Earth, and that Kei & Orsen did indeed travel back in time to kill their younger selves (they didn't detonate another dimensioanl bomb to blow the universes apart). There is afterall only "1" Orguss TV series, with "1" ending.

ADV finally put up "something" about Megazone 23 other than the fact that they licensed it. http://www.advfilms.com/titles/megazone/ Barely any info, but from the looks of it there's a new dub (guess even they couldn't stand the streamline dub, not that the new one seems to be any better), and it's due out this summer. The copyrights are shown for all 3 parts, so hopefully they'll release it in a single set instead of individual releases. Whoever wrote the copy for that trailer should be shot.

No, there isn't the possability for an infinate number of things to happen. It was explicitely explained during the series, only a few dimensions were caught in the anomoly (Chilam, Eiman, dragon/dinosaur, etc), it was a very localized mishap. As such, the only outcome of the situation was the one seen. As for Orguss 02, I wouldn't waste time with it, much like Macross II & Megazone 23 Prt II it vastly contradicts everything that came before it, leaving you wondering why they even bothered to make it. In the specific case of Orguss 02, they claim that a second dimensional bomb was set off to correct the effects of the first, but still leaving some mishaps leftover. In the actual Orguss ending, no second bomb is set off, and Kei & Orsen travel back in time. This is but "1" bizarre chocie made in the Orguss 02 production.

Pick up a cheap U.S. kit, you'll get a basic idea of how the manuels work.

Maybe I will....maybe I will. In the last episode, Kei & Orsen used the time travel device that the Chilam developed (you'll recall the episode where they half traveled back in time while the machine was still in developement), to travel back to the point just before Kei screwed with the dimensional bomb & set it off, and shot their younger selves. In turn, their younger selves shot them, leaving both sets of Kei's & Orsen's dead. The result of this being that the dimensional distrubance never occurred, and everyone (except for Kei & Orsen) would live out their lives as they would normally have. At this point we also see what I personally think is Kei's flashing on the life he wanted to have. Awesome ending irregardless.

Sure, though like I said, check out AOD for already existing reviews on most of the movie disc's. That's why I picked up the HK's of the TV series sets instead of the SB DVD's. There's no reason for the lack in quality....but then it's the only way to get the films on DVD with subtitles.

imagine you are a fighter pilot in the US navy, and imagine that you are flying a sorty against some enemy country. now.. if that enemy army was able to invade your comm system and play videos of hard core porn or some other kind of shocking/distracting imagry or sound, you woudlnt' find it hard to fight under those conditions? i find cultrual shock more beleivable than machines that come to life due to glowing rocks and singing "special magic tunes" space gods and "bird man, fish man" crap that's never ever mentioned in later shows. (maybe i'm wrong havn't seen the show in a while) Culture shock didn't win the war in the TV series, if they had used that alone, the Bodolza fleet still would have mopped the floor with Earth. It was the nuturing of the feelings invoked by that culture shock that brought down the Britai Adoclas fleet, & spurred it on to form a treaty with the Macross that won the war.

While I liked the anime ending of Mahoro, I'd love to see how the Manga ends.

Macross Plus & 7 are two opposite sides of the same "magic" coin. In one you have a digital representation of a phenomenon, and in the other you have a biological representation of it. Open your eyes.
