  1. Haha, I didn't know that. I thought he jokingly propositioned Hibeki, but maybe I'm misremembering. But, anyway, I didn't say either of them was gay; I said they were "effeminate."

    It seems like the portrayal of masculinity in Macross could make a good separate thread, and maybe it already has. It strikes me that even aside from flamboyant characters like Bobby, Mash, and Honey, a lot of the central characters are far from hyper-masculine. People make a big deal about Alto, but Hikaru is a small, pretty, and often very un-assertive guy. Max, Michael, and arguably Hibeki are basically pretty-boys. The characters with loads of machismo are more often in supporting roles, like Roy, Ozma, and Ray (although Isamu is a clear exception). Macross may have historically had a mostly-male fanbase, and SDFM certainly comes off as a story written by a bunch of (naive) young men, but I'd argue that Plus - written by a woman - is the only animated installment where the male leads are all aggressively masculine.

    Kawamori did a really mature approaching to this theme in Earth Girl Arjuna if I remember correctly...

  2. The next Macross series will consist of a cast of only Meltrans. It'll have a yuri romantic triangle and all the Valks will be VF-11MAXL variants.

    :lol: j/k

    As a writter of a FanFic that revolves around a lot of Meltran characters I can tell you that the gigant breast jokes and gigantess fetichism are not funny after two or three chapters :D

  3. I tried looking through the vast amount of past threads on this section on the forum for context to get see how people reacted to the announcement for the TV series that ended up being Frontier. I couldn't find one, but can I assume it was like now?

    I remember arguin about the "r" and "o" in the Frontier logo looks more like "Flantier" than "Frontier" :)

  4. Thanks man, I'm hoping to finish this before the new TV series arrives... or all my elaborated scenario and theory will become an "Alternate-Universe" :p

    So... new chapter and sorry about the breast jokes.. I know that i'm abusing this theme but.... Meltran breast are very important in this story... really

    Chapter 38
    In Spanish ;)
  5. No esta mal, pero ese concepto de que los mechas sean conscientes me tira la historia muy para abajo... supuestamente muchos futurologos opinan que la humanidad va a tener que, eventualmente, transformarse en una forma de vida digital y eliminar lo organico si quiere sobrevivir en el universo por lo que.... no es nada alejado de las espectativas.

    Edit: i don't know why but I start writing this in spanish and I FORGOT that this is a english forum, sorry :p

    Not bad, but the concept of sentient mecha makes me feel uncomfortable... I mean, some futurologist predict that the humanity will need to become digital and left the organic body behind to survive and expand across the universe but... today that concept seems weird.

    Btw, cool story bro! :D

  6. As with so many story ideas that have come up in this thread, I gotta say, once again, "Mac7 did it!" to the police robots idea.

    In fact, here's Goto and Shinobu from Patlabor making a cameo in Mac7.

    Sorry guys, but M7 already did everything. ;)

    EDIT -- BTW, the police mecha are actually called "Patroids" in M7. And yes, they transform. :)

    That was AMAZING.
