I don't hate either. Some things about Macross 7 were grating, mainly Basara. The mecha designs for Sound Force, and the designs for the Protodeviln were a bit silly for my taste. There were also few times I had trouble convincing myself to keep watching the first time through. Especially the first several episodes before the story really gets going. But, I enjoyed the story quite a bit. Especially the additions to the Protoculture. Fire Bomber has some pretty good music, too. I still listen several songs from the show and the OVAs pretty often. The mecha designs were pretty awesome, too. Macross II is blah. Not really grating, but then not too memorable either way. The dub makes a nice sleep aid.

I'm not completely sure, to be honest. That was the only time I've ever done business with them, but I didn't have any problems. They got my order right shipped out fast, too.

I just recently bought both series from rightstuf.com for $25 each. Mospeada Southern Cross

I'm currently living in NW US.

Hopefully I can get it this summer. I've been wanting to see the rest of the series since I got the Robotech Perfect Collection tapes several years ago. Right now, I'm pretty much broke. Besides that, it's pretty expensive compared to a lot of other shows I've been getting instead, like Firefly.

I haven't posted much at all since the change to the new board, but I've been here since April of 2002, I think.

SDF:Macross is still my favorite, followed by Macross:DYRL? After episode three of Zero, it's like to come next if the rest of the story is as good.

I'll watch 3 first. I've recently watched 1 and 2 on a VCD I made of the first two episodes. I'm sure I'll watch all 3 in proper order at some point.

I'm definitely getting the EE of the Two Towers when I get the money. I'll pass on the box, like I did with FOTR.

I just finished watching Flashback 2012 after trying to download it for a couple days off of the iMacross servers. It was well worth the time, and an item I will be adding to my DVD collection as soon as I get the money. I've seen a couple of these music video with recycled and new footage montages before, and haven't been too impressed. The main disappointing one was Live, Love, Alive, but that's more because of the horrid guy voice versions of the songs, and Yellow's new look. (Insert barf emoticon here). This one was well done. Right down to the war black and white war footage over "Love Drifts Away". (Sorry, I can't remember the Japanese name off the top of my head. ) It was also great to finally see the footage of the Megaroad taking off. The VF-4 was also neat, though I didn't care for that goofy looking helmet Hikaru had on. Anyhoo, that was a fantastic and satisfying end to SDF:Macross/DYRL?

Has the game improved at all in the last month or so? Jedi Bounties might actually be kind of fun, but perhaps less so if every Jedi on there can get the mission. hehe. Unless I start hearing about the game improving in leaps and bounds, this still isn't enough to keep my interest. I played for 3 long months and wish I wouldn't have even dumped the intial cost into it. Too bad they closed off the forums from guests. Now I can't follow it from day to day to see if the game is getting better or worse. I wonder how many people are gone for good now.

I totally realize the inherent dangers in affordable HK bootlegs...it doesn't change my feelings. I never claimed to have been cheated; I just want to understand what the hell is going on. Also, links would be helpful... You might also want to d/l fanscripts, or episode synopsis. If you can find either or them, that is. I printed off a list of episode descriptions and background info on Orguss, and they really helped with a lot of confusion. About halfway through the episodes, I started reading through them before each episode and picked up a lot I never would have with the subs the way they were.

That is true but I still have a problem of them even suggesting there was a love triangle. Both Basara and Gamlin were much older then Mylene. The two of them were what, in their early 20s and she was only 14. Come on. If she was just a few years older it would have been more believeable as well. Aye. That was the problem I had with a lot of the fanservice during the ending credits, as well. Seems a bit much for someone who's only 14.

Yeah, that's from Macross Plus, which is a sequel to the original SDF:Macross series and not related to Macross II other than the Macross name. Macross II is set in alternate universe. I had a boot of DYRL that had the theme song to SDF:Macross in the menu, but that's not as weird as having Voices on Macross II. hehe

My favorite is still the VF-1, particularly the Skull design VF-1S. I'm also really digging the VF-11 and YF-19 lately. The VF-9 doesn't look too shabby, either.
