Proof that Macross did venture out there in the Pluto region, as attested in the photo.

Well its only one area and the starting one at that. It still takes a while to fly anywhere and once you add in all the times you are randomly attacked.... Also, theres Fold Stones that warp you to places on the map that you cant necessarily see....

Nope, you don't. PS3 is region free.

Actually its shown waaaay before any loading screens, but I'll stop before I get into spoiler territory.

Perhaps I'm super paranoid here, but would like to triple confirm.

I am aware that US PS3s are region-free with games and same BD region as Japan, but can US PS3s access JAP games' DLC using a JAP PSN account but via non-JAP IP addresses? My work requires LOTS of traveling, so I would like to know whether JAP PSN account REQUIRE JAP IP addresses for the DLC to work.

Thanks in advance.

Direct copy paste from 4chan, take it with a bucket of salt.

I'd take THAT with a PALLET of salt...

00 version of G-Defenser?

More like 00 version of X's G-Falcon.

Did I see an announcement of movie version of Macross F after the ending credits??!?!?!?!?!?

You and me both, bud.

So no, it's not an illusion!

ahhh i see thanks!

Macross F Movie confirmed in after episode commercial!!!

Macross 11?

Macross City?

This is looking good!

Bathroom break!

What's to hate about Quess?

Selfish, bratty teenage girl. The world is filled with them. This one was newtype. She really needed Uncle Ben's advice.

Quess the egocentric, horny-for-boys, bratty, air headed space cadet has recently been surpassed by the "V"-posing, tongue-showing, ugly-face-and-uglier-hearted Nena Trinity in my books.

Katejina takes a distant third.

但是，已确定最终的完结篇，将会以一部完整的电影的形式出现，初步定于2008圣诞之前放送

But, it is confirmed that the final episode will be presented in the form of feature film, tentatively scheduled to release before X'mas 2008

关于这个剧场版的具体信息，大家可以在第25话中了解.

The detailed information about the theatrical release, you can find out in episode 25.

Interesting, what Chinese forum you got it?

Super Ostrich

Detrimental effects to human health...

Chinese forum rumors > Chinese dairy products.

Exception: Chinese anime contractor leak.

Exactly my point. People never knew North America existed until they "discovered" it, yet it always has been there for hundreds of years.

North America has always been there ONLY for hundreds of years?

Unless you meant the name and not the landmass, I'm pretty certain you meant millions.

I think I first saw it in this book:

http://www.macrossworld.com/macross/books/series_guide.htm

And I've always seen it as "Miku." Well, except in Legend of Megaroad, where the author called her "Miko," but I think that was just a mistake.

Thanks Gubaba!

Do you remember the kanji used, though? (was it 美紅 or 未来?)

Macross Compendium has listed Hikaru's daughter as Miku Ichijyo (一条　美紅), and I have no doubt of Egan's correctness.

However, Japanese Wikipedia has her listed as Miku, but Mirai in kanji (一条　未来).

I'm trying to find out where did the Miku setting originate from, to make good reference should the point be brought up in a discussion.

Thanks,

No. Code Geass' 2nd season is moving to Sundays 5PM. It would have been better for MF being on Saturday.

This whole Code Geass thing was noted in earlier because people where expecting MF to air right after Code Geass.

http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-...-saturday-6-p.m

Actually, the entire "土六 do roku" (Sat 6PM) slot is moved, not just Code Geass 2nd. When Gundam 00 2nd airs in October, it'll pick up right after CG2 on the Sunday slot.

The original "do roku" slot, will be delegated to news program 報道特集.

NOOOOO

Gundam OO, Sat, 18:00

Macross F, Fri, 1:55

which is better???

No worries, Gundam 00 will be off the air after Ep.25 to yield to Code Geass' second half.

By the time Gundam 00's second half airs in October, Macross F would've finished airing.

I'm still watching it to see where it goes. I like Cameron.

It sticks out that Cameron never revealed what type of cyborg she is, it seems obvious that it was left out deliberately.

Also, in Ep.5 Cameron seemed surprised upon inspection of the chip pulled out from the terminator, it's gotta be a hidden plot device.

And yeah, Summer Glau is cute in an unorthodox kind of way, and has awesome figure.

Yeah. Even in Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, S.O.S Dan is SOS Brigade.

Oh well.

Agreed, if it was Gurren Tai (隊) then "Team" would've been an accurate translation, but Gurren Dan (団) would be "Brigade", especially in a military context.

Although the writing overlaps the Zeon symbol, it is still sufficiently legible to be indicative of the mobile suit's identity.

Btw, for some freeze-frame fun, check out the English screen text around 16:20.

I guess...SK likes James Stewart?

BTW, during the concert broadcast, the logo said Frontire instead of Frontier...

Normally this kind of Japanese misspells annoy me to no end, but with a Xmas present THIS GOOD, they can have ten more mispells and I wouldn't mind!

Finished watching the episode in spasms and tears...

bleh, M7 happened, lets all move on. Fans will be dying from anuerisms if Kawamori tells us that M7 was ALSO a meta show... because that will mean a meta-character (myelene) will have been affected by the meta-movie (DYRL)... and that's just too bizzare.

How about this?

The space-time anomaly that split timelines puts SDF: Macross and Plus in one timeline; while Zero and M7 go the other way. (MII? Who even cares about MII?)

This way diehard M7 fans like Keith and friends can freely enjoy their own galactic whale wholesomeness as canon without being trolled, while the others can enjoy peace of mind over the fact that awesomely lame abhorrances like Hummingbirds never even existed in their timeline.

There you go, everyone is happy and we have a win-win situation.

Now we sit down at a table, and start dividing VF-X, VF-X2, and M3...

I must be the only one in Starfleet who adores the Galaxy Class...

Don't feel alone, there are many who like the Galaxy and simply have not spoken. (I do agree though, that it's a bit front-heavy, but nothing's perfect, 90% will do for me)

I fail to see why so many find the Excelsior design attractive (although I do like the derived Sovereign), having the main body resembling a toilet bowl. (Not meant as insult, simply stating what its shape reminds me of)

The Miranda simply looks like a ship with missing torso, while the Defiant looks like the croissant that I had left forgotten in the backpack, and had since been squashed flat.

I guess beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder.

There, I've spoken my mind, let the barrage begin!

So you have the same feeling about Ranka Lee, huh... I hope she'll be a surprise and not be annoying.

How true, I dearly hope Ranka won't turn into ZZ's Ple...she annoys me to no end.

In case we're both wrong, RankaRankaRankaRankaRankaRankaRankaRankaRankaRanka (resonate a la Keroro Gunsou?)

i still don't understand why CB didn't attack Union as well..

The attack on "Taribian only" sends the message out, which is to deter smaller nations from using CB as allies against larger nations. Clearly, Union would've had no reason to attack, was it not for Taribia's political move. Touching Union forces would've / could've sent a mixed message, which in turn could be deliberately misinterpreted by politicians.

Personally, I felt it was hinted in the episode that the whole incident was staged between Taribian and Union leader.

Taribian leader gets to squash anti-US sentiments in the nation; while Union benefits from CB's demonstration of force against Union members who are tempted to secede. I doubt either leader was naive enough to believe CB would really allow a Solar power plant to switch into the hands of troublemaking warmonger (in role).

CB knew it was used, but the move would still fit with their mission principle so they proceeded nonetheless. A thin-ice, superficial peace is still better than chaos and large-scale war.

One has to take into account CB's limited resources. No matter how advanced their weaponry, the cold fact is that if a major war broke out, CB would be pathetically and hopelessly outnumbered, and would not be of much use at all.

Considering it is taking place over 20 years after Macross 7, many different fighters would have been developed by then. In the 30 years after SW1, they went from the VF-1 to the VF-22, that is a range of many generations of fighters.

After the 20 year span, I wouldn't be surprised if VF-19/VF-22 are borderline retired, VF-25 become main fighter, and see newly developed models sometime past the series' midpoint.

If Bandai had the rights, and ran Macross like they run Gundam, we would've already seen 4 to 5 different types of Valks...

schizophrenia

. doesn't really cause the symptoms that you've described in your other post. That sounds pretty much like

multiple personality disorder

which is quite different as it doesn't involve hallucinations and inability to distinguish between reality and the auditory/visual hallucinations.

Makes good sense, I stand corrected.

They kept that quiet, there's been no allusions to it that I've seen.

I would consider Allelujah's condition explicitly stated, although it was through animation rather than done verbally.

Viewers may or may not have noticed that after he sensed Soma and bent down due to severe headache, he clearly had his hair brushed to a different side, speaking with a different tone of voice as if someone else, had a different pupil color when he came back up, and made cruelly sarcastic remarks.

Then after experiencing the childhood flashback of being stranded in space, he changed his hair back to the way it was, sounded sincerely sympathetic, and made the completely opposite decision of launching for rescue.

With the eye heterochromatism, sudden changes of stance and hair side *hint hint*, I would say the director could not have made it any more obvious.
