  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Yep, Lucas seems to have found a way to rip off the Legolas scene from the Two Towers and try to outdo it.
  10. 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.
  11. 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).
  12. Hmmm... You know, that's not such a bad idea after all.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. [Grandpa Simpson voice]Burn him![/Grandpa Simpson voice]
  16. 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.
  17. RT & M+ got me sort of started, but what really hooked me on Macross was, well, this site. I just considered the Macross fans to be very sophisticated, not juvenile like some other passions I follow, and that helped. You guys were also instrumental in my getting rid of my RT DVDs, and buying the Animeigo Macross mini-boxed sets. Thank you MW!!!
  18. What really makes me laugh about these Clone Wars short are that they are 100x better than the last 2 films.
  19. Somehow I expect it to be Star Wars Episode III: The Search for more Money.
  20. I first saw them at my local Blockbuster 2 months ago. My GF and the other couple with us couldn't understand why my jaw was almost touching the floor. I didn't rent them, cause I was already in the process of buying them. But, good news for Macross fans in my region.
  21. The show has a great premise, and a great setup. But, all shows are only as good as their ending, and IMO EVA did not have a good ending(s). The show's creators simply couldn't solve it. That was the feeling I got after I had viewed the series and EoE movie. And because of an inferior ending, it also makes repeat viewings of the series that more difficult. The best advice is to rent/borrow the series as others as said, and decide what you want to do from there.
  22. [dumbanswer/wishful thinking response]Maybe Manga just wants to exhaust their stock of M+ Movie, and struck a deal with HG to help sell off their stock. They would then do a proper release of M+[/dumbanswer/wishful thinking response] Bwa Ha Ha Ha Ha!!! P.S. I did wake up too early this morning.
  23. D@mn you AO, you put that song in my head, and now it's going to be stuck there all day long. I do agree with what you're talking about. What I would like to know is this: when do the pirates steal the movies? Do they do it when they're seated with the general audience, or like someone wrote earlier, do they "borrow" the film reel and make the copy in private? If it's the first answer, why don't the ushers stop them? If it's the second answer, then we have some really crooked theater employees out there.
