    Robotech Shadow Chronicles gets a Blu-Ray release WTF!

    in Anime or Science Fiction

    Posted

    I think HG has all the Mospeada stuff sown up;

    That may be true, but it was still pretty obvious that they were clearing the decks for material that HG had created themselves.

    the problem is the Macross & Southern Cross material. I heard BW owns the licence on Southern Cross to. Maybe that's why there hasn't been any movement on a masterpiece Hovertank yet.

    Wasn't Southern Cross one of the "Super Dimension/al" series? Thats probably why they own the licence.

    Shadow Chronicles is OKAY, but it's nowhere near as good as Macross F. What people should be mad about is that the bleu ray disc has way more features, not that it's coming out at all. Of course it was going to come out.

    I liked the way in the Shadow Chronicles that the Invid (Inbit, whatever) were shown the door straight away and then the NEW BAD GUYS APPEARED INSTANTLY. You can almost hear the HG accountants and lawyers saying "Quick, get rid of the enemy and aspects of the show that we don't own completely and introduce a NEW enemy that we DO OWN completely." At that point I removed it from my DVD player never to return. :lol:

    Which is your favorite character from Macross Frontier so far?

    Not a character I know, but I really like the "Big Red" Vajra's. So far just about everything about them has been cool.

    Their combination bio-mechanical aspect is interesting, their actual design is really cool (I love it when they rear up with all their arms outstretched), their single-minded determination and tenacity (even with his head blown off, the one in Ep3 still goes for it), the fact that they are so deadly (I still think that they made the destruction of the one in Ep4 TOO easy, it should have at least killed some cannon fodder.) and ultimately that they are so different from anything that we have seen in Macross before.

    I especially like the way that the one in Ep2 gets "distracted" by Ranka's scream when she is groped by Alto. The cool way that it (fatally) ignores Ozma like he isn't even there and then the poor bastard gets it in the neck.

    It will be interesting to see what happens with these creatures in the future. I think that they will turn out to be the fighters for another race, bred to do the dirty work. Whatever their true nature, I just hope that the producers don't stuff it up.

    I've not been following the HG debate so i'm abit lost.

    I thought HG has been blocking only the 1st macross series, SDFM, because they have bought rights to it?

    That's why Macross Plus made it to the US through Bandai visual because it was an entirely new animation. So why would Frontier be affected by this supposed protection of HG's property and interests?

    Or is anything with the word "MACROSS" affected?

    Not sure. There was a HUGE delay between the releases of Macross Plus parts three and four and I heard that some sort of legal action was involved. The story I heard was that the Japanese were demanding more money because of the success of M+ in the West. Can anybody confirm or deny this.

    When Hasbro finally got on the ball and started investing heavily in marketing Transformers again; please note what happened. Yes, naturally there were huge positives - new toys, reissues of Generation 1 (by Takara as well), new story lines, Beast Wars (truly outstanding)...

    Have to agree there. Beast Wars was a brilliant and vastly underrated series. Its too bad that it has now "dropped off the radar" to such a large extent. Now we have the characterisation-free movie franchise. The thing that Beast Wars really got right was making the characters interesting. All TF since then has simply sucked.

    Macross Frontier Episode 4 Talkback Thread *READ 1st Post*

    (This is in response to a post a few pages back, sorry for the delay, I just got home :p)

    *sigh* For those of you complaining about stuff in this series (like boobs) my point is that it's ANIME and anything goes in any anime series. Making a big deal about something that minor is not looking at the WHOLE PICTURE. The series itself is very much one of the most perfect shows I've seen in a long time and makes me want more with each episode I watch. Watch the series for the series and don't ruin the show just because something as small as a woman's chest being too big annoys you. ENJOY IT! :)

    Well, we have waited a few episodes for absolute confirmation of this but we can now say without a doubt......

    People seem to associate emo with pretty much anything these days, which I find quite lame. So Alto wanted to eagerly kick lobster ass and got a punch in the face. I too fail to see how this makes him emo. Kira yamato and Shin Asuka? Hell yes those guys are emo, but not Alto.

    To quote the hilarious urbandictionary:

    Emo

    A group of white, mostly middle-class well-off kids who find imperfections in there life and create a ridiculous, depressing melodrama around each one. They often take anti-depressants, even though the majority don't need them. They need to wake up and deal with life like everyone else instead of wallowing in their imaginary quagmire of torment.

    also,

    Somehow, people decided that "emo" meant "emotional," which is obviously bullshit, as 99% of bands make music to illicit emotion, which would make "emotional" a completely all-encompassing genre from classical to opera to pop to rap.

    This video I uploaded to Youtube has been getting me in trouble with "Emo's" for the last few months, enjoy....
