  1. I think script writers shouldn't be held to a strict 'this must be word for word exactly the same as the Japanese original". I rather have the best quality product that conveys that particular writer's feelings or talent. Sometimes I run the dub with the translated subs just to see the differences of story telling and method.
  2. I picked this up at the Zenkaikon in Lancaster. It's also pictured with my Macross Plus YF-25 action figure signed by Richard Epcar..
  3. Tokyo Drifter. Ranked no. 15 of Ranker.com's top 50 Yakuza movies. I saw this on Turner Classic Movies; violent movie with a killer theme song.. http://www.ranker.com/pics/N1000119413/tokyo-drifter-films-photo-u3
  4. Sonny Chiba in The Bodyguard aka Viva Chiba! The Bodyguard! This is the movie where QT got the infamous Ezekiel speech that Sam Jackson used in Pulp Fiction..
  5. There was a live action movie in development called Macross: Final Outpost Earth that was going to be loosely based on DYRL. For reasons unknown the project was shelved..
  6. Brings back memories. I didn't have that card but a buddy of mine's had it. As you can imagine I was extremely jealous of him.. Are those cards worth anything?
  7. The real problem is that men are writing these characters and we're not possibly getting a proper characterization of women. Either they're dreamy eyed teenagers or overbearing mommies. I didn't want to make this a Misa versus Minmay issue I just commented that Lynn Minmay was allowed to mature over the course of the Macross story. Not just her transition from teen to pop star but she started to make adult decisions about her role in the ongoing conflict. She and Hikaru even lived together. Mylene & Ranka seemed like to me were examples of the current anime trend of cutsey girl-women that aren't allowed to grow up..
  8. At that time I felt that Mike Leeke of all American Macross artists actually captured the look and style of the Macross Saga. Maybe his art work suffered some because of lousy inking but characters and mecha designs were spot on. I thought Svea Macek's Macross adaption one-shot was a good to.
  9. Whose more annoying Ranka or Mylene? At least Minmay was allowed to grow up..
  10. I blame Mike Leek's amazing art work and my immature mind for believing that the SDF-1 & SDF-2 were back to back in Macross City Bay..
  11. Here's The Super Powers Team episode 2: Ghost Ship/Bizarro Super Powers Team that featured the Gun Sight-1.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mXuoiA4s-Fs
  12. Looks good. Reminds me a little of Fist of the North Star..
  13. I agree the Cold War subplot was a little dated but a Superman/Batman grudge match in the same alley where Batman's parents died is tough to beat. Though I wonder why they didn't play that part up is a little confusing to me. If I'm not mistaken Batman told Supes that if he died it was going to be in the place that he lost his parents. It was weird having Reagan, Soviet Union, & nuclear warheads back in popular culture but if you treat it as an alternate history or Earth it wasn't so bad..
  14. They won't because some head at Warner's felt that the Teen Titans would be unrecognizable to their video buying market (eventhough there was a Teen Titans cartoon that ran for four years including a movie that aired on Cartoon Network). But I remain hopeful partially due to the popularity of Young Justice that WB will revisit the Wolfman/Perez version of the Titans..
  15. I just recently part 2 DVD/BluRay combo (I already bought part 1). The best $21.00 I ever invested in a DCU animated movie. A supurb translation. Now if DC would just make that Teen Titans: Judas Contract movie..
  16. When I read this I thought he was referring to Clash of the Bionoids but I'm thinking he's talking about Macross 2. It had no connection to Robotech but I can see the confusion especially because of the Marduk. I always felt they were little "Robotech Masterish" for Macross. US Renditions did make it clear that this was a sequel to Macross Do You Remember Love but in their ads they were trying to attract fans of Robotech or at least people who watched the Macross portion of RT. FHE had complilation VHSs of Robotech: The Macross Saga that included all 36 episodes in condensed edited form. It even included the Robotech Masters episode that linked the two generations.
  17. I'm not surprised Clone Wars would end up on Disney XD but please Mr. Disney...No unneccessary edits. Even if you have to air it at night to justify the violence..
  18. Positive or negative Robotech always spark conversation and debate... I think they can make a Robotech movie that uses some of the Macross story elements (alien invasions, new technologies) and have brand new Valkyrie type mechs with the three form transformation. Mospeada, Megazone 23, Orguss, & Southern Cross were all inspired by Macross without being straight off rip-offs I believe RT could be the same way.
  19. Interesting, do you think BW might release this on DVD or Blu-Ray? Better yet, do you think there's enough material for a decent home video release?
