The Shade

I dunno, I like the Dogfight bgm more that the Breakout one, even though I first saw the English dub. I guess this is just the purist in me liking things more the way they were originally done than having to watch later modifications. Oh, and wasn't Manga's improvisation due to their having lost their master tape for the background sound for ep 4. Wasn't it a fire or some sort of carelessness?

Eye catches are short snippets of animation that come just before a show goes to commercial break or comes right back from one. They usually just have a shot of the main characters or mecha with the series title splashed over the entire thing. If you bought the Animeigo Macross dvds, they did include the eyecatches. They were fun to watch as they lent a feeling of nostalgia and brought a greater sense of authenticity to a dvd compilation of a tv program.

My $0.02 on the whole 1 trillion bit. For comparisson, in the Foundation novels, Trantor (which the SW Coruscant is based on) has a population of 40 billion. It's one big administrative planet for the whole galactic empire.

TS3 is going to be like Terminator 3. Without James Cameron, T3 really blew. It will be the same with TS3 without John Lasseter.

I never felt as if I was missing anything from the old RT dub. Each time I noticed something different, I just told myself that this was the right way to do it.

I'm still trying to decide whether I liked it or not. It's just too tough. Maybe I just need to think about it some more, or just that the 2 year production time created a sense of unrealistic expectation. Azrael, where did you hear that M+ wasn't supposed to be part of Macross originally? After watching it, it's very clear why the UN chose to keep the events secret for at least 50 years: -don't want to world's population to know that they were willing to destroy an entire island to keep advanced technology out of enemy hands. -after the events of SDF-M, they are probably thinking that there are similar devices on other sub-protoculture worlds.

Hi Gubaba. Don't want to impose on you any more, but would it be possible to have a romaji and translation of "Watashi No Kare Wa Pairotto"/"My Boyfriend Is A Pilot" Part 2? That is the one remaining song I would like to see a translation of; the others I would be ok without. Thanks in advance.

I'm 4 time zones away . If you broadcast the meeting over a webcam, then I can be there in spirit.

Yep, a few good series. While I missed both the 1st eps of SEED and Robin, I will continue to watch them both. I haven't yet caught SD Gundam, I'll try to make up for it next Friday. Bandai is releasing a limited edition boxed set of Witch Hunter Robin on October 26. There's nothing special about it. It's just a compilation of the 6 DVDs they released for the series. Off topic a bit: Bandai is also releasing a boxed set of Escaflowne. Both the series and the movie will be included. It will be priced at around $100.00 US. Oh, and Teletoon did run the entire 4 parts of Macross Plus. I have them on VHS from when they ran it at 8 P.M. during March break week in '98 or '99.

Thanks Gubaba for that translation. Even though you said it was just a rough job, it's more than adequate for my needs: understanding what is being sung. This site had many of the romaji that I was looking for, but not many of the 3rd CD songs were translated. That's what I was really looking for. Like I said, after one and a half hours of googling, it was the best site I could find. Keep those translations coming.

Hey guys, I'm looking for lyrics for the Macross songs that appear on the 3rd disc of Macross the Complete, specifically romanisations & English translations of those songs. I search the net last night for them, but after one and a half hours of googling, I only found one site that had romanisations of them. Also, I would also like to have translations for Tenchi No Enogu. I can't believe that there are no translations for that one. Thanks in advance.

Just wondering about the first season restrospective 1 hour episode, the one where ALF loses his memory. After they'd first ran it, they changed a couple of things during subsequent airings. ALF's voice from the pilot flashback scenes was changed to the quieter voice it became later on in the series, not the original near-booming voice from the pilot. The second thing changed is how he lost his memory. The original version had him somehow shock himself while taking a bath. The altered version had him slipping and hitting his head on the tub. When you get to it, let us know which one you have.

You can't. In the case of the ANBU-AonE release of M0, the subs are hard subs. That means that they are part of the image: they cannot be extracted.

Actually, the T2 Ultimate Edition DVD had 3 versions of the film: the original theatrical cut, the special edition, and the Future Coda (alternate ending). One that I think is really going too far is Geneon's releases of Akira. The 2001 remastered version 2 disc set, the 1 disc set that followed, the 1 disc set with Japanese DTS 5.1 (the one I have), and coming soon, the Signature Series release. Sheesh!

HG updated their article and have included a quicktime streaming video of "Pierre Bernard's Recliner of Rage". It's pretty good, especially Conan O'Brien's reaction.

That guy has a fat face! He looks nothing like me... I am svelt. OMG, you look like that Tampa Bay Lightnings player Vincent LeCavalier. Oh, and the movie could turn out to be a good one. I did like the Iron Giant, so that's a plus on its side.

Yep, Lucas seems to have found a way to rip off the Legolas scene from the Two Towers and try to outdo it.

Heck, by the time Season 4 of Voyage came along and Seven of Nine came aboard, I was HOOKED (in more ways than one) Seriously though, at the same time Jeri Ryan came on board, Voyager improved a lot in terms of episode plot and quality. Since DS9 had been over for over a year, the shows creators could finally concentrate on just one series. DS9 was the same. Though I was never really a big fan of it, it did improve once the show became the flagship series.

Canadians can get each boxed set from amazon.ca for $63.99 plus taxes. Shipping is free on any order above $40. That's how I got boxed set #1 (got 2 & 3 from ebay for about the same price).

Hmmm... You know, that's not such a bad idea after all.

You have to remember that the DYRL we know, and the DYRL that was filmed in 2031 are not the same, as emphasized by the a scene from the 2031 movie that was shown during the Macross 7 series, specifically the wedding of Max & Millia. I've always interpreted that whole movie within a series as a cheap gimmick by Studio Nue/Big West to help sell more DYRL DVDs.

A couple of weekends ago, they were showing New Dominion Tank Police. It was the first time I saw it. Wasn't bad, too bad they're only 6 eps that were made.

Now, that would make an interesting movie.

The last time I saw this movie was on TV, and the image quality was so horrible that I thought this was the worst shot film ever!!! I'm not talking about the visual effects shot, but just the normal looking shots. But, after looking at some of those pics from the reviewer's website, I can say that I will now seriously think about buying this film.
