    Just wanted to post because I didn't notice until now. During the final Isamu/Guld fight in M+, the YF-19 loses not just its gunpod but its head laser as well. It also doesn't just lose its gunpod. The gunpod is struck by a projectile and breaks in half. A closer-up of the broken head laser. This close I'm not sure how I missed it the first time. And while the gunpod magically re-appears later on... ...the head laser never does. At first I thought this was an animation error showing it on the bottom of the YF a la the original VF-1... ...but on closer inspection it's just the other wing.

    Is this the small F-16-sized stealth fighter with the 3D thrust vector nozzles that Japan developed? The... ATD-0, I think?

    What is Banana Splits?

    Do they still have rights to Mospeada and Southern Cross? I'm 95% sure that's a no, but if they do I don't see why they don't just cut their losses and start over with what they have left... which, given, isn't a lot, but it's still more substantial than what passes for Robotech original content.

    Not Gundam, but I don't know if it's important enough to warrant its own thread. Figure-rise Standard WarGreymon and Omegamon model prototypes shown off at WonFes Shanghai: https://withthewill.net/threads/21801-Digimon-Figure-rise-Standard-WarGreymon-amp-Omegamon-Model-Kit-Prototypes-Shown

    Finally watched the Avengers trailer. Seems fine. Dunno what everyone are getting bent out of shape about... Thoughts after watching the full FF7 gameplay presentation: - SE have never been able to merge real-time and menu-based combat well. I'd rather this be entirely real-time with contextual macros and shortcuts to access the various abilities than try to offer up both a "slow" and "fast" style of play. - Peppering the screen with numbers has always hurt my eyes, and this is no different. Just show a health bar. If you MUST have damage numbers, make them bold and easily distinguishable against what's going on on-screen, and for god's sake keep them centered properly on their respective characters. Barret obscuring his enemy in a cloud of 1's and 2's does nothing but make it harder to determine what said enemy is doing. - The HUD in general could really do with a major overhaul. Character health in the lower right, commands on the lower left, that's classic FF layout, but it worked for classic FF, it doesn't work for an action game like this where you need to be able to tell vital statistics with just a moment's glance, especially when you also make it transparent. Tiny little ATB and Limit bars, too. Again, just show a health bar, with allies' stats minimized above/below it. When you switch characters, the pertinent stats get maximized. Maybe a character portrait next to each set of stats instead of a name, because humans are visual creatures and we can identify a face faster than we can the vague outline that a person's name's individual letters make. On the commands front, group the "Mode" prompt (Triangle) with the character stats, get rid of the "Attack" prompt altogether because who wouldn't know that Square is Attack at this point?, and also get rid of the "Menu" prompt, especially if there will be moments you can't use it. Compare this shoddy mockup I made. At a glance, I think it already does a better job giving you immediate information than the official HUD. vs

    FFVI iOS/Android/Steam was a top-to-bottom remake, coded and asseted from scratch. But Remake, Remaster, Reboot, the game industry has well bungled all of those terms now. EDIT: Apparently there's a mod for that:

    We did, it was for mobile (later Steam), and it was not received very well thanks to bad art decisions.

    I figured that, too, but it's still just... too fluid. Her ice dress in the first movie was still just a dress. Like, I'm imagining how she would take this thing off, and it seems like it would be... painful. At the very least, it'd be like ripping a bandaid off your entire collarbone and shoulders. But bleh. It's a super minor nitpick. As to the rest of the trailer... yeah, looks fine, I guess. The niece saw it and was excited for more Elsa.

    I still can't get past that weird fade-in dress she has on in the beginning. Like it's a part of her skin or something. Eerie...

    Still INCREDIBLY dubious about their ability to pull this off.

    The PC version has plenty of custom skins now, but this I think is the first Macross one, a YF-29 skin for the X-02S. https://www.nexusmods.com/acecombat7skiesunknown/mods/171?tab=description

    IIRC, most BDs are region-free. I don't know how/if that applies to anime distro companies, though. Let's hope that's the case.

    Refresh it a few times. I got the same error a couple times; they're probably swamped with traffic right now. EDIT: Try https://hlj.com/summer-sale-2019-07gun

    Just an FYI. HMR VT-1 on sale at HLJ during their summer sale. There are some other Macross stuff on sale, too. https://hlj.com/hi-metal-r-vt-1-super-ostrich-bann25875

    Anyone know the context of this? All of a sudden it showed up in my feed and I had absolutely zero reaction to it besides "...huh...". All I know is that it has something to do with Galaxy's Edge.

    ^ I much prefer this explanation. Alternatively: Buxom Zentraedi women corral wild VFs and wrestle them into submission in order to tame them.

    Not really. I KNEW this would be a stinker, and Godzilla ended up being just as good as I expected and wanted. So for this sci-fi fan, at least, God's in His Heaven and all's right with the world.

    This was more the reaction I was anticipating. Y'all remember when the big bad was giving their big bad screed via a Skype chat and had stock footage queued up for B-roll? That bit in particular but that entire scene in general had me squirming in my seat wanting to get away from the cringe. I'm sure everyone on the deck of the ship were also thinking the same thing when it started turning into a family court proceeding.
