  1. That it had an ending. Alright, the ending was kinda acceptable, I mean, the whole thing was so rampantly weird, it's probably more true than most other sci-fi aliens I've seen. Too bad the everything about the show royally sucked. Except Fire Bomber, they are really, really, good. I was blown away to hear actual first rate artists on an anime soundtrack, I can listen to it out of an anime context, and always do.
  2. Thanks, that pic is beau. I really like the close-up detail on the SDF-1, sunset colours cast by the Nebula. Awesome.:-D
  3. It's the way it took time out of my life, time that will never be returned that really gets me mad. It's just mass produced trash for the Macross/Kiddie market. I'm not even sure that I backed it up, when those original realplayer cd's corrupt and die it'll be one less piece of cultural detritus to carry about.
  4. Happy Birthday! I'd say that I'm looking forwards to more Macross series but, well, here's to better luck with your future writing! /M & M+
  5. Hey, Start with the Macross DVDs from Animeigo, it'll save you money because after you've seen the original Macross you will never go back to Robotech. It's not that Macross is superior to RT, it's that it is so superior, so much incredibly better in terms of plot, music, picture quality and writing, so much superior in every sense, that you'll never look back at Robotech except as that poor quality show that got you into Macross. I just finished watching the original series and still can't believe the difference between the shows. Buy the Macross DVDs first and save your money cus you won't be watching the embarrassingly adolescent / child RT ones again. And this coming from a big RT fan. Just my Humble Opinion.
  6. I get redirected to some advert/search page when I click the link.
  7. I'm currently the only one in the Ontario Quadrant, up here with the space refugees.
  8. I just picked up volumes 4-6 of the Animeigo DVDs at my local Blockbuster, marked down from $16.99 to $4.99 each! Tomorrow I'm scouring the city for the first 3, I'm sure one of the other local stores will have them as there are many, many local stores since Blockbusters multiply like some kind of horrible MacDonald's virus. Also of note is that they are selling 1960's Raquel Welch videos for the same price, of interest if you're a Misa fan:-). Also Robotech DVDs. So now I've finally seen the original series. The picture quality is a great improvement espically during the opening credits. But I've got to admit that the theme is better if you haven't heard the words and what's up with those closing credits? While episodes 13-24 must contain the greatest number of dud episodes in the series, there's still some good stuff in there. Got to find the rest. Glad to see that silly love-triangle of the Robotech storyline downplayed and given dialogue which isn't embarassingly bad. /Really enjoying my find. EDIT: The BB site seems to say that only discs 4-9 are currently for sale at that price.
  9. Misa is even hotter in real life! Who'd have thunk it...
  10. Thanks for the advice, I'll pick some up.
  11. Hi, I have a DYRL VF-1A Hikaru Ichijo Valk and the interior 'L' hook which is the shoulder hinge that mounts on the interior of the front chest-plate has broken. I tried to repair it using epoxy, which I had around the house but it didn't adhere. Can someone please recommend which type of glue I should use to fix it? Thanks, it's my best valk and I can't bear to see it suffering like this.
  12. Thanks! I still don't understand Misa's house cleaning though but I guess there is nothing to understand... Breetai http://www.anime.net/macross/characters/k/...danik_vrlitwhai Exsedol http://www.anime.net/macross/characters/f/...l#folmo_exsedol Not sure what you mean by this. This question would probably be answered if you watch the series. Hikaru is a busy guy..... Guess what? You're in luck. ADV has the rights to the original series now and they will be re-releasing it soon. However, I'm sure you can find the Animeigo editions out there. 313821[/snapback]
  13. Hi all, I've been a Macross fan ever since when I was a kid and my dad brought home two Revel model kids of the Valklyries for my brother and I but I guess I'm a newb since I still haven't seen the original series. It's on my list of stuff to see, once I can afford it at least. So I've only seen Robotech. Anyways, here are my puzzlements. What happends to Breetai and Exedore at the end of the series? Why doesn't Hikaru pick up Misa, or does he? Does he ditch annoying-Minmai for Misa or just ditch her on general principals? Was Misa really cooking and cleaning for Hikaru and not sleeping with him, because that's really neurotic? Thanks! P.S. Should there be a Dalek crossover?
  14. My connection is being refused by the target machine? Any help - thanks!
  15. should this topic be pinned perhaps? Its' on page 2 already.
  16. My buddy who bought the shoes, and collects shoes, says that Shimizu is a big Macross fan and thats why designed the shoes. He's picking me up a pair in a few months when I have $$:-)
  17. You know, I have a buddy who collects shoes and one day when he was over I casually showed them to him as a cross interest between anime and shoes. He dropped by the other night, he'd gone out and bought them! I couldn't believe it! Here I am, a fan since being a kid, and this guy goes and kicks my ass with genuine clothing! But not just clothing, NOOO, not a shirt, Freakin' SHOES! He picked them up in Toronto, Canada (near where we live). Said they were about $130.00 Cdn. I'll need shoes in a month or two, and he'll be the guy to pick them up. BTW, they were really spiffy. A little vinyl looking and not nearly so complexly designed as any modern nike pair, but the colours, the skull, and the overall design was all Macross.
  18. No, that wouldn't be funny, it would be happy :-P
  19. Lucas did do audio changes too, and they're not all good. Check out the new voice of Boba Fett. It was the voice of evil, now its the voice of bad acting... DVD Changes Review
  20. Oh Gosh its so bad. You know what I liked about Macross? The Jets and the people and the way it's not pretentious shite like Evangelion. Wait a sec... As if the episode wasn't enough, the jet that tuns into a a bird? Oh Gosh, its so bad. This is one I won't be telling people about.
  21. currnetly there are 6 seeds and 1085 dl's... It be out but not about.
  22. NLA has on their home page that it isn't NLA
  23. Macross for me is where the mecha come second to the characters. I mean, if I want robots and no story I'll watch Gundam. But don't get me wrong, Macross without the mecha isn't Macross. Thats why this episode is my favorite of the series so far. All the characters came out as did the world they inhabit (the jungle). The mecha's turnt up to accentuate the story. Finally a solid episode. Great dogfights and animation as well.
  24. That would be a double headliner wih the Ramones(RIP). Beat on the brat Beat on the brat Beat on the brat with the baseball bat oh yeah, oh yeah... oh oh! I wish we could rate comments here. Yours is the funniest macross joke I've ever seen, excepting that pic of Captain Gloval in drag I saw here a few years ago...
