Character Art Appreciation Topic
anime52k8 replied to MisaForever's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
ok, time for pics. I don't know if any of these have been posted already, and frankly I don't care. they're new to me and they have put me in a good mood ergo I shall post them. besides everyone loves mecha shojo this one's just cute I find this one funny as hell, and yet very disturbing... and yet slightly erotic... wait, oh god... AGGHH... also, I find the lack of Nene and flight suit Grace disturbing. something must be done about this. -
funny, I feel the same way but come to an oposite conclusion. I can put up with a douchebag character, but I can't sit though 40-something episodes of a hippy with a hard-on for his guitar flying a red mecha. but back to MacII, I always felt the Macross and Macross cannons were the only good ship designs in the show. everything else was mediocre at best, but I always loved the Mac Cannon, it was pointless and yet beautiful at the same time. and as for the SDF-1, they turned the whole damn thing into 1 big gun. if SK ever actually worked something from macII into official cannon, I want it to be that.

Bandai 1/60 DX VF-25 transformable toy thread

macII for no other reason than it's less content to suffer through. in all seriousness though I thought macII was good; not great but good. I've always felt the story and character designs were great and for the first half at least the animation quality was quite good. admittedly I was never able to justify how MacII could fit into the rest of the macross world, but that never really bothered me. I just looked at it as it's own thing and accepted it for what it was. Now what really drags it down for me is the pour quality in the last episode, coupled with the IMO poor mecha design. the whole last episode looks and feels rushed, the animation quality takes a nosedive and the story starts going by way to fast. II would really have benefited from a better budget at the end and one more episode. as for the mecha design, the only mech that actually apealled to me was the VF-2SS in batroid mode. the enemy mecha felt lumpy and uninspired, and the rest of the spacy mechs flat out look like ass. (I absolutely hate the metal siren, and all the fighter modes look like afterthoughts) as for Mac7 I never really got into it; not to say the story was bad, just not what I'm into. I can accept the whole spirita thing, but having a J-pop band saving the day in ridicules clown mechs piloted using Rock band controllers is a bit to much for me. on top of that, the quality of the mecha combat was lacking (and that's one of the biggest draws for me) and I think Mac7 is a low point in SK's design carrier. now with Mac0, I liked it better than II mostly because the production quality and the mecha design was better. however I still don't rate Mac0 very high just because of the ending. It was rushed, confusing, and even after seeing Frontier It still makes no seance.

Macross Frontier Mecha/Technology Thread III *Read 1st Post*
anime52k8 replied to azrael's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
more like a case of square peg in an unequal polygonal hole. if you try hard enough you could dock anything to a macross city/island section, you'd just need to build an adapter section with one end that's shaped like an NMC's feet that fits into the docking section, and at the other end a hole the shape of what ever you're trying to connect to it. now here's an interesting question: even though they're both NMC's the feet/rear end of the Frontier/galaxy appear to be different from the feet/back end of the Mac7. could battle frontier dock with an older city section like city 7, or the Mac7 dock with Island 1? -
not to hijack this thread or anything but my compressor is crapping out on me and I'm wondering what would make a good replacement. I was looking at something like this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=220289194698 it's not too big, and it's got a built in tank. seems a bit expensive though.

jamming/disrupting their radar and/or IR sensors; disrupting the signal between the ghost and whatever's commanding them (i.e. Luca's valk); etc. etc. -
that's new, when did they start showing that? (so want that too)

you need a "v.2 Q-Rau" option. really that's all I want, a Q-Rau with articulation and quality on par with the newest stuff, and a fully articulated pilot. also a scout regult would be nice too.

Bandai 1/60 DX VF-25 transformable toy thread
anime52k8 replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
currently they're scheduled for release this December. originally it was supposed to be out in November but it got pushed back, and there's no guaranty that it will be out by December. -
I had to vote for the mac+ triangle. it actually was a triangle (unlike in 7) that felt believable (unlike 0). and in plus, the triangle is an integral part of the story, (in SDF:M, I always felt that triangle was just sort of there) and while I actually like Alto/Sheryl/Ranka more as characters, the fact they've dragged out their relationship without anything close to resolution just kills it for me.

so, has there been any word as to when the alto version will be available again? I need to get a couple of these... badly, but I live in the states so online's my only option in terms of ordering. -

Bandai 1/60 DX VF-25 transformable toy thread
anime52k8 replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
There’s almost no chance the hips will be fixed unless they completely redesign the crotch. As it is there's no way for it to be miss transformed. The model has clearly visible swing arms; the DX has pegs that stick strait out form the crotch piece, no way for it to swing. Really? what would those look like, I would love to see those. (were would you get all that VF, by the way) -
Bandai 1/60 DX VF-25 transformable toy thread
anime52k8 replied to David Hingtgen's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
the alto is a picture of the model, but it's not transfromed right. the legs are sitting too high so it looks shitty like the 1/60, but if you look closely you can see swing arms that can lower the legs, which means it's the model. -
What is with Frontier with old crippled people?
anime52k8 replied to RedWolf's topic in Movies and TV Series
Maybe Max and Millia are sucking the youth out of all the other characters , I mean come on Max is in his late fifties in mac7 and he looks like he's under 30. -

Macross Frontier Mecha/Technology Thread III *Read 1st Post*
anime52k8 replied to azrael's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
what always got me is how if I remember correctly the YF-19 and YF-21 have something like 600 and 800 rounds respectively, and I doubt if it's possible to actually fit that much ammo into either of those gunpods -

and another thing, this one outfit weirds me out. it's so low cut, it looks like it's covering nothing, and she just doesn't have any nipples.
