    Don't worry, that live-action movie is coming out any day now. Any day now...

    So I'm finally starting on Frieren after all the hype. I didn't realize it was an old-school 26 episodes long. I thought it would be the usual nowadays 12-14 episodes only. Did it release in two seasons? On Netflix it shows all 26 episodes as a single season.

    Consistent criticism tells me that these figures are pretty poorly-designed, poorly-constructed, poorly-everything, and not worth it - especially at the marked-up prices they're asking now - unless you simply MUST ABSOLUTELY get a figure in this specific style. I got the Bring Arts Xenogears figures before they started jacking up the prices on them. Fei, Elly, and the two Weltalls, and that was it. I'm glad I got them early in the line's existence.

    Very much ymmv.

    I'm seeing talk about it potentially being down to a simple typo in a config file. Does the video cover that? They spell "resolution" wrong or something, and fixing it claws back a ton of performance. Dunno how true that is, just hearsay, but it wouldn't surprise me. Capcom and embarrassing typos seem to go hand in hand.
  6. kajnrig
    Indeed.

    Yep. The specific graphs do show a disparity between raster and RT, so that's something to keep in mind, but essentially it's a 5070 Ti for $150 less... assuming both at MSRP. If 5070 Ti prices don't drop in response, and 9070 XT prices stay anywhere near MSRP for any significant length of time, the difference will only be that much starker. What's the average price of the 5070 Ti right now, $900? $1000?
  8. kajnrig
    They have a slide comparing 9070 XT to 5070 Ti, for a simpler comparison. For whatever reason, it seems to have flown under the radar despite showing up in the official presentation. As usual, take first-party claims with a grain of salt (video timestamped, but 27:00 if not): -2% 4K performance -23% price +23% "performance per dollar" +2% 4K performance if OCed

    No, you're not wrong. That's the poster for the third movie, not the fourth movie. ...is what I was going to say before I fact-checked myself and indeed that IS the correct poster, just the wrong name on the poster. Oy vey.

    So she's not stepped down yet, just actively looking for a successor? That's also far better treatment than ex-Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger got last year, which was exactly also as Seto described, just a sudden "it was the honor of my lifetime to lead XYZ etc." announcement and a retirement package. Well, whatever it is, I'll be sure to check back when they announce a good reboot of The Acolyte. Dunno why that show in particular elicits such a response in me, but alas...

    EDIT: I unfortunately don't have pics to compare size. A 1/48 VF-1 will be slightly larger than most 1/72 modern fighters/other 1/72 VFs, so it should feel pretty much at home among them. The only obvious discrepancy will be the cockpit/pilot. You could maybe transfer a 1/72 VF-1 cockpit tub and pilot over; I've thought about doing that but have never gone through with it.

    That's really funny.

    Very nice. On a related note, I was so disappointed that his VF-22S was basically just a cameo in the OVA. I was really hoping for some budget to have been thrown his way.

    Don't mean to double-post, but I have a question for everyone: After listening to some of the M7 songs on Youtube, it's as I suspected and the M7 music is actually fine, just the audio quality in the show was incredibly crap. Mylene's vocals especially were barely audible, and everything overall was pretty muted and flat. Was this the case for anyone else, indicating that's just what to expect from the stream, or is there perhaps a problem with my setup? (All other shows/movies were fine, BDs sound fine, games sound fine, etc.)

    Anakin lookin' like an angry little dwarf.

    You think so? I didn't exactly pay attention to the lead-up; all I remember is it was billed as a very brief short story to accompany Zettai Live!, which it is. It doesn't do a lot, but it does take a step towards a full-on happy ending for the Frontier movies instead of the bittersweet one Sayonara no Tsubasa leaves us with. It wasn't necessary, but it didn't hurt, and it came with a bitching new Ranka/Sheryl duet, and the Frontier cast are always fun to watch, so I dug it. I can get feeling cheated, though.

    I have about a week before Hulu expires, and there's still Delta, Plus, and Zero to get through. The latter two I already got the recent BDs so I'm not going to bother, but Delta... boy is it hard starting it again. I'm only 45 minutes into the first movie and I swear to god it's like I'm having Vietnam flashbacks. I didn't realize how much of a waste of time FB2012 and FB7 would be. The first because the only part worth seeing is already in the DYRL 4K in better quality, and I didn't know FB7 would be a literal clip show; I'd heard it was the Frontier characters recreating the M7 story and assumed it would be like the similar M0 tribute episode. I'm honestly a bit embarrassed it took me so long to realize what it was and skip to the end... which in fairness did slap. For as many issues as I have with M7, the movie and Dynamite 7 did a lot to re-establish Basara's character. Dynamite Explosion is such a frakking fire (bomber!) OP, it kept me from skipping through any part of the 4 episodes. Frontier remains stellar, in almost every single way. In retrospect it was kind of unfair to compare Delta to it except Delta constantly invited such comparisons. Labyrinth of Time sank its claws into me in a way it didn't the first time around; that barely-there Diamond Crevasse weakly bringing Sheryl back just yanks at your heartstrings. I'm still flabbergasted by how good it is.

    EDIT: Spoilered to save space. Anyway, I don't mean to derail the thread further. I'll leave my thoughts at that.

    I've always assumed that it's a "how you like it" thing; I'm sure there are cels or illustrations featuring the UN Spacy logo upright in both battroid and fighter modes, and there's no hard and fast rule for prioritizing either orientation. Hasegawa's kits emphasize one particular form, so it makes sense that the lettering orientation would be whatever best fits that form. The 1/100 Wave kits, on the other hand, are meant to intermingle to a degree, so it makes sense there that the lettering orientation has to conform to one form or another, and product pics show they favor fighter mode. (Meanwhile, the Bandai 1/72 transforming kit shows it upright in BOTH modes. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ )

    They've gotten very good at multi-color injection; look up their Figure-rise and Figure-rise LABO kits, where they've done things like mold wholesale eyes and faces and, in the latter case, emulate the translucence and subsurface scattering of real skin. IIRC, this slide molding tech is actually a technologically simpler (if similar) process than what they've used in the past, patented as "System Injection"... but that's just conjecture based on vague recollection on my part.

    Tamashii page: https://tamashiiweb.com/item/15292/ Seems like just a basic recolor of base Exia, not actually parts to make Exia R2. But the available pictures only show Exia and no parts breakdown, so... maybe?

    I'm about half a dozen episodes from the end and I'm largely in agreement with you, @M'Kyuun. The music definitely doesn't do it for me, but whether that's because of the music inherently or just the lack of variety, I don't know. It certainly becomes more tolerable some 30 episodes in, but even then, that goddamn harmonica riff regularly stabs through my ears like a set of rusty scissors. I've liked these same songs and Fukuyama vocals just fine when remixed in Frontier (and Delta?), so... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Spoilers just to truncate the post a bit: To @Big s's point: In the time it took me to get to episode 45, I managed to blitz through DYRL, FB2012 (okay, that's cheating I admit, only like the last five minutes or so is worth watching, and that's included in the DYRL 4K anyway), all of Frontier, its two movies and Labyrinth of Time, and the first episode of Zero. I bet I could get through most of Delta, too, if I wanted--okay, that's a lie, I'm definitely having more fun with 7 than I did with Delta. That being said, I hope my rewatch of Delta leaves a better impression this time around. Maybe 7 will soften me up to it a bit.

    My vague recollection is that those were movie-specific, and in SDFM the female Zentradi shared the same machines/technology as the male Zentradi save for the Q-Rau. Maybe they were colored purple instead of green, but that was the only difference. Again, vague recollection. I could be wrong.

    Already I'm not a fan of them "upping" its "cup size." That aside, pretty stoked to see it. Did the VF-19 ever come out? I want to say yes, but...
