That was beautifully done. The Frontier music was an awesome touch.

I want to believe it is just from setting up story but it just seems dulled down.

true, stuck with them, but I'm not that impressed by the show, i'll probably stop watching it if it doesn't get better real quick. meh story + awful looking encodes = drop.

And that is the sad thing the manga is so amazingly well written and drawn but the anime has the wrong pacing. It could just be that at the moment trying to establish story. I hope that the pacing improves and the violence level is on the weak side as well.

Really? I hate them, The subbing seems decent but their releases are so heavily filtered, I feel likeI'm watching a VHS tape.

I turn up my brightness cause they do make it really dark. I haven't seen anyone else though doing it yet anyway.

Big fat YAAAAWN to the second episode... yeah... this anime is a way censored version of the story, plus all the fight scenes are cut down to a few quick slashes... where they airing this in Japan? The Japanese Nickelodeon?

I wonder if there is a secondary version like they had for witchblade. I just think that they could have capitalized on a series that sells extremely well in Japan. Maybe the violence will become more intense in later episodes.

There's so much good stuff coming up near my birthday.

October is gonna be Deculture!

October is going to make every macross fan go nuts. Looks like I will have to get my psp next month and pre-order Macross Ace.

I finally got to watch the raw and I definately like how they made us believe Ozma was dead. I definately think that we were all given the slip. So it seems that our skull leader will remain the same from now on. Also I kinda figured that the Vajra would find some way to evolve a defense to the reactive weapons. It would make sense why Grace helped to force the hand of NUN to use them.

It is however available on Region A Blu-Ray, which is supported in North America. Unfortunately, it is not subtitled.

I am bummed about the no subs you would think from a marketing stand point they would take them on. Yes technically we in the west aren't suppose to have it or have seen it but it kills me. Maybe we get some secondary release after series end with some subs.

Man the NUN forces really are naive and they are just letting Grace right in too. No one seems to question the fact there is still a squard from the Galaxy that have been hiding while the Frontier has been putting their butts on the line to try and help a sister fleet. This is not going to end well because Grace seems to be fully in control along with those other personalities.

The space is really more relevant for high-detail models and textures. And the DS' lower capabilities mean there's less to cram into the ROM.

Of course, the DS' lower capabilities also means it probably couldn't do the game for other reasons(and the lack of a thumbnub for transformation control makes button count more of a pain).

It also means less on a screen at any given time. The swarm of enemies is a Macross hallmark.

This was one of those episodes that left more questions then answers and that is what made it interesting because it was partially a recap episode.

why o why....not on ds

I don't think you would get the scope of mech on the DS. A lot of information to crunch on to a chip as opposed to a UMD.

I don't know if it has been mentioned but have we gotten any verification if the Blu-rays will have english subs?

Is it just me, or does anyone else think that Bilrer = Isaac from Escaflowne...i.e., the old guy whose job it is to watch the plot unfold on a monitor while his eyes grow big and he says, "OHHHH..." in a gravelly voice...?

He does seem like the watcher character. He might intereact but perhaps can't directly affect. I mean his sitting room gives that "god" feel since he is this massive figure over looking a world even though it is just a train set.

oic... when will that be released?

Superion (5x VF-25)? and Mega-Superion (7x VF-25).

It is already out on the official site but it jerks on my player. I see the VF-25s as seekers more then autobots lol

I wasn't necessarily meaning I wanted to be older, I just want to be able to say things like "kids these days.." and such. I am quite alright with my youth and hope it lasts a while.

I actually do say that when speaking to people who are younger than myself so it isn't total loss. I am just young compared to most members here it would seem.

Agreed there Dex.

what do they combine to form?

Macross Voltron. They even have a blazing sword.

This was a good way to sneak in a recap ep without it being the whole episode devoted to it. I think that the love triangle is extremely open which is different. I think that Alto needs to capitalize on both of them.

Kinda underwhelmed. Everything was fine except for the fact that there wasn't any fighting... all the fight scenes were the old "let's move in on each other" and cut to dramatic poses at the end. Hopefully this isn't how the entire series is gonna be, but if so... I can't watch. It seem that they did it more to censor violence than as an artistic thing.

Manji's sister was cut in half in the comic book but here she just falls to his arms.

That was my big prob it was cool but some of that punch was missing. Then again I wonder if they will do like the did with witchblade and have like a secondary dvd cut that is more violent.

Nevermind to my last question I found out Kesenai fansubs is working on the series. From what I have watched they are pretty solid.

Raws have been out since late Sunday/Monday morning. It airs on Sundays at 24:00 JST.

Azrael do you know anyone who is potentially fansubbing?
