So I just did a session with episode 24 and 25. I found the series and ending to be solid and satisfying overall. I'd rank Macross Frontier second behind SDF:M/DYRL as my favorite series . Loved all the action and nods to Mac+ and SDF:M/DYRL. Macross Attack! Kakizaki lives!! Alto/Klan and Alto/Brera fighting back2back a la Max & Milia!!! Ranka singing Ai Oboete Imasuka brought a big grin to my face. I never get tired of that song!!!! They did lay it on a bit thick with explaining everything in regards to Grace's plan, seemed a bit rushed and convenient IMHO. Anytime I watch/read anime and sci-fi, I suspend all disbelief and let myself become engrossed in the world created for me by the author/creator. It never got TOO ridiculous for me not to go along with it. At first I was disappointed to see no resolution of the Alto - Ranka - Sheryl triangle, but after watching the end again it fits the show and is a good ending. It was a great ride while it lasted and I am sad to see Macross Frontier end. Thank you Kawamori-San for a job well done. I feel like watching SDF:M now to see how they compare in my eyes.

will be waiting to here thoughts and impressions on the plastic version.

I recommend Western Digital Passport external drives. I have a 250 GB in white that I bought on sale for $75 about a year ago. Have had no problem with it. They come in 160, 250, and 320 GB. Small, portable, runs on the USB. I don't carry it around with me, so I don't know how well it would handle daily transports, but seems durable enough to handle that.

I'm gonna wait for some more final pics, but current results don't look promising. Oh well, I guess I don't have to get this valk. More money for me

Thanks for the second printing of these shirts. I appreciate it.

Cool episode, just kinda moving along here. I'm such a hopeless romantic that I was saddened by the episode, how Sheryl is accepting her death as inevitable and Alto realizing that he may have to kill Ranka "for the greater good". I can't wait for the epicness of next episode.

nice, Frontier ends just in time for Gundam 00 Season 2 to begin.

I don't know if some variation of my theory has been mentioned before, but I'm going with the syrupy sweet ending. Sheryl and Alto get together in the end, Ranka uses her Vajra powers to cure Sheryl and take the Vajra away so Frontier can colonize the planet. Can't get more Disney than that

I'm interested in this one. I'll give it a whirl along with Gundam 00 Season 2.

since this is the remake thread, looks like with the success of Dark Knight and poor showing of Superman Returns, WB is going to reboot Superman here a la Marvel and the Incredible Hulk.

good to hear, cuz it's a minor annoyance and never takes more than 5 seconds to appear anyway. back to killing aliens and saving the galaxy

So after a couple weeks of not watching, I finally caught up on Macross Frontier. Just watched episodes 18, 19, & 20 and the series is as good as ever if not better. A lot of things were laid down and I'm back into the Macross groove, I love it. The new intro and song are great, it fits the show now that all the characters are established. Can't wait to see the Battle Frontier transform and in action. I was surprised and saddened to see Michel go, though he went out in style. I was hoping to see him and Klan tear up the Vajra like Max and Millia tore up the Zentradi in SDF:M and DYRL. Loved all the Monster love we've been getting the past couple episodes though I'm still waiting to see it in battroid mode.

Payment sent.

cool stuff so far, waiting to see what else is in store

So nothing new to report on the Macross Frontier Toy front eh? I hope the Alto and Ozma come with Super/Armor Packs and I really hope they come with the Reaction Missiles.

so I just got this for PC and I'm really enjoying it. One question though, is there a lot of texture pop in in the PC version? It's nothing major, just noticed a couple times when I go into dialogue, I'll notice background objects pop in. Just a couple seconds and there it will be. I haven't noticed missing textures or anything, just some pop in. Otherwise, a fantastic game, Bioware has done it again.

Thanks for the hookup and the second run of these cool shirts. Waiting to pay now.

If someone is interested in a XL shirt; I ordered 2 but if someone still wants one, you can buy one of mine.

gah, I do like the Defender though the Tomahawk is still my fave. I will definitely be getting a Tomahawk at least.

Nice, can't wait to see the finished product. From all the progress pics, it looks unbelievable.

methinks we should start over with a whole new poll from scratch

Great episode! To me it seemed like the show was coasting the past 2 episodes (15 & 16) but now it looks like everything is moving forward again. They really got me with this episode, I was almost ready to open a bottle of Haterade when the end seemed to line up to a T with Pineapple Salad from SDF:M. Glad to see they didn't go that route. It also makes sense as this is the future and all; it'll take more than that to kill Ozma! Even Brera couldn't take him out, in the dark no less!

I'm down for 2 XL shirts. Thanks for the hook up everyone involved!

Just got finished unboxing and transforming my VF-1S Focker 2.0. Overall, I love it! The proportions are very nice, makes my 1/48 feel chunky, the 1/60 seems more sleek overall. I love all the tampo and improvements. Had no real problems with transformation, just had to check the instructions on how the swingarm fits into the nose in battroid mode. I really like the 1S head, near perfect IMO with no seam running down the middle. The head being detachable is a plus, I was always wary of bending or snapping the head lasers when transforming the 1/48, but now I can just take off the head and not worry. Only two minor gripes. I don't like how the arms kinds float there in battroid mode, but I guess it always for more poses. As long as it doesn't become a floppy mess down the road. Second, as someone mentioned before, the eyepiece on the head is a very dark green. I though it was black until closer inspection.

Oh my God, I didn't know Michael Turner just passed?!? I read/collect comics regularly but I don't keep up with all the news. Turner is one of my top five favorite artists. I always try to pick up his variant covers if they aren't too overpriced. He will be missed! I currently collect some Marvel and DC titles, but I think I'm gonna start cutting some titles out. Between the two, I find myself less interested in Marvel. I started during House of M and every Marvel event since had left me disappointed. House of M, Civil War, World War Hulk, all seem to just end with nothing really happening or changing in the 616 universe. I may just drop all my 616 titles altogether. It depends on how Secret Invasion plays out. I do love the Cosmic Marvel stuff right now though. Annihilation and Annihilation Conquest were pretty good as well as Nova and Guardians of the Galaxy. Rocket Raccoon ftw!
