  1. I just saw it, and I think it was OK, but could have been better (most especially with editing). I went in with low expectations and I am just relieved it is not a train wreck. This is my ranking of the trilogy: The Last Jedi The Rise of Skywalker The Force Awakens Above might be counterintuitive to some here but I find half of what Abrams puts in his movies (that I've seen) seem uninspired. Sometimes I wonder what would have been if it wasn't JJ Abrams who got to do The Force Awakens. If you've seen his Star Trek movies, you get a feel for how he does franchises. His Trek movies were not garbage-level, but sometimes below par (hi there ST: Into Darkness). Or it could be Kathleen Kennedy's fault for choosing JJ. I can't say I'd trust George Lucas either. I look at Kevin Feige and man, Marvel Studios is so lucky. That said I'm still thankful for the new characters he introduced, most especially Rey and Kylo. I think they are good characters and a nice addition to the Star Wars franchise. They also found great actors in Adam Driver and Daisy Ridley. In spite of some of the writing and execution, I like this trilogy. You might think I am too positive thinking, but those prequels were really forgettable and I'd rather have the current trilogy over it. What I liked: I like how they incorporated Carrie Fisher's unused footage. It felt almost seamless and it was the best that could be done. Loved the return of Lando Calrissian. Rey and Kylo scenes. Fanservice. What I didn't like: Some new characters could have been done away with. I would have loved to see more sword fights/pew pew... I have no idea why so I really cannot explain it, but the editing bothers me. JJ Abrams playing safe (but understandable). I'm not sure if I want to watch it again, because I am also eyeing Jumanji if it is still showing. I also wasn't really 100% focused into it as I took my nephew with me and I was checking up on him from time to time. We'll see...
  2. Lol I'm not trying to spread some itchiness haha. I have actually decided to pause on some purchases just to save some extra. But then again I find something else to spend on haha. I'm going to be in a real bind if it will coincide with an HMR release that I would want. But I've wanted a SOC Voltes V ever since I saw the old releases that's why I'm so interested in this possible new release.
  3. Guys when do you think the new SOC Voltes V is coming out? My mind just can't rest if I don't have some kind of prediction of future expenses lol
  4. So it's already coming early next year huh. I've always like Scientific Railgun over Magical Index. Hope the quality is good.

    My wallet is gonna cry if there's a MacF HMR
  6. >> Immediately they started playing ‘Don’t Say Lazy’ from the anime K-ON Sh!t I would have really enjoyed this surprise
  7. Yeah I noticed that post too. How was JUNNA's performance?
  8. So what do they call them?
  9. Any improvements at this year's AFA? It's been a long time since I went to Singapore. When I finally pay off my insurance I'm gonna have some extra money in 2 years, might be good enough for an SG trip.

    Macross Books

    Do inform us when it finally ships
  11. Ahahaha I probably wouldn't continue watching if I didn't like the ending.
  12. Estimated quantity of 'Sales' for ROBOTECH REMIX #1: 8,109. With the caveat 'One other factor to consider is that sales through Diamond and other comic distributors are non-returnable to retailers. That means that there is a considerable unknown percentage of books unsold at the retailer level, probably amounting to 5-20% of sales.' (US only) So there are probably still a few thousand who are buying this thing. It will be interesting to see what sales numbers will be for the later issues. https://icv2.com/articles/markets/view/44482/top-500-comics-october-2019
  13. Hmmm looks like I gotta start saving now!
  14. How much is this gonna cost?

    Hopefully the Scout Regult gets officially announced later this year (or early next year). Frankly I am not too disappointed at the sparse Macross HMR announcements/teases, as I have been pouring some of my money into stocks that otherwise would have gone into HMRs and kits etc. But I still want to see the Q Rau. Please Bandai, onegai..
  16. I wasn't really impressed with the live-action movie so of course I wonder how this being made with Netflix will influence the final product. And then this trailer comes out that looks like a video game instead of anime (doesn't look cyberpunk to me). Right or wrong, my initial reaction would not be so positive. I'd like to be proven wrong, but the story has to be really good... Speaking of Kenji Kawai, here's a mini-feature from tocotoco (now Archipel) Youtube channel. Advance apologies if this has been posted already.
  17. I don't like how the shirt is halved. I like the yellow jacket version better, I was very happy I got it on sale.

    Yesssss! I already have a Roy VF1S but it's OK, Roy is my fave pilot. Although I wish they would re-release the plain Regults, I'd love to have 2 more (or even more than 2 if my budget can handle it). My only worry now is PO madness
  19. It's been more than 10 years since Mac F I feel so old now haha
  20. CG doesn't look that good for me. I'm vastly lowering expectations for this especially the visuals, and I fear for the story/actual content.
  21. LOL what kind of restaurant did they go to
  22. For future reference: https://gubabablog.wordpress.com/2017/01/02/master-list-of-all-translations/
