I believe it has to do with enhancing their maneuverability, usefullness, speed, autonomy, resistance, safety, etc. etc....

Hehehe... The image requested earlier (the 2 valks kissing) is in one of those scans dude. Thanks for sparing me the effort, hehe...

My favorite Macross Frontier character is Klan Klan, since she has a very kewl design. That flight uniform is sweet... Besides, she pilots one of my favorite mechs from Macross.

Close second must be Ozma Lee. His valkyrie colors and equipment are superb. And I liked the fact that he was the more down to Earth and strong willed of all characters.

Ranka Lee, Nene Rora, Raramia Reremia and all the rest of the Zentradi characters were excellent too...

Sheryl is also great. I kinda didn't care about her at the begining of the series but she developed quite well during the show to the extent of becoming one of my favorites too.

I believe it's because the last episode was soooo rushed and nobody knows what happened to the two main characters.

All I can say is one word: Megaroad

Btw... To all Macross Zero haters outthere... I recommend you stay away from 2001: A Space Odyssey for your own good...

Once again, that's a very post-Macross 7 way of looking at things, and it really has nothing to do with SDF Macross. There is no "power" behind Minmay's music.

...No "power"... But it had some sort of effect indeed...

1987 - Robotech

(Sorry, but you asked...)

I don't see what was so bad about Macross Zero. I thought it was rather cool. Why do some people hate it so much?

Same here...

Btw... Liked the review... (kinda bit enthusiastic though)

and finally November 5 (Tokyo).

Hehehe... My birthday is on the 5th of November... ("Remember, remember...").

Well now, if that thing's official (and I see no reason why it wouldn't be), we now have confirmation that the Global is "the 4th Macross Class Ship," NOT the SDF-4.

Err... didn't the Global had the "SDF-4 GLOBAL" name on its hull? I kinda remember that from episode 13...

Found some Klan Klan fan art...

I wonder how many people here have ever seen this before...

Thanks for sharing! This is some crazy concept stuff I've never seen before.

You're welcome, hehe...

My real purpose for posting them is to show the history of the creative process behind Macross. I don't want to start any debate on canonity and stuff, hah... I'm just posting these images since I find them fascinating...

They clearly show all those exciting ideas the Studio Nue guys had during the development of the first series...

ok, that's a new one. can we see this?

Will post it as as soon as I can...

Sums up the theme of the show

Old news... That was already posted here a while ago dude...

I liked the fact that Grace, Mao and the research team honestly believed it was a "good" thing to have this network of instant communication galaxy wide.

Err, no, you are wrong. If Ranshe's comment at ther begining of episode 23 was any indication... she opposed sacrifying the Vajra to achieve those ends... which mad scientist Grace wanted all along...

I hope we see more of Ranshe in the new movie...

Wow... Just downloaded the second OST...

Lots of excellent themes...!!!

My favorites so far are "Protoculture", "Shadow of Michel", "Ai Oboete Imasu ka - bless the little queen" and "Azure Ether"...

It's a joke. Half the text is referring to the rough coloured image of the Monster above, the other half says "drawn by Kawamori Shouji himself. The 3rd body Valkryie (VF-1S?). You can also use it in the "Combat Action" page(s).

I believe he's referring to Valkyrie Combat SectionPages 83-92. And it is a joke, considering the other joke images in that section (two VFs kissing, etc.).

Joke or not, it looks very kewl to me, hehe...

Check this out, a VF-1J Valkyrie with internal missiles...!!!!

Valkyrie Melee weapons since then...?

I'm really surprised no one mentioned Roli Dosel, Konda Bromco and Warera Nantes

Read the first post...

I'd call them Hikaru, Misa and Minmay...

"Lets keep in mind our chronology here..bleh bleh bleh".....WTF did that come from? Seems like I PO'd another one or something. Those questions about Hikaru and Guld are all rhetorical. Anyways, I was trying to explain what could possibly be true. I'm not saying it is true and that's that.....I'm welcome to all theories. I actually like your theory on "motion capture" but, like you said earlier, not for the VF-1 since no evidence was found to support that. As for SK and Co. He was studing to be an engineer. I'm pretty sure he thought of things to back up his work in the technical sense. Besides....you said it yourself that you like rationalizing things......things that maybe isn't there(anime magic)....I'm doing it for my own amusement and to pass time till i find out when is that Bandai DX VF-25 coming out.

My theory, that was stated earlier, borrows some of it's technical sense from video games i.e. Virtual On(pretty cool mech game i might add).

So in the meantime......If i scratch my ASS-1 in a Valk....then the "motion capture" will do the same....right? Also rhetorical.

Hehehe... I hardly doubt there was any motion capture computerized bodysuit at all back in 1979-1981...

More like to me they are using the Super Dimension for networking.

But they could be using Super Dimension Energy as well.

It could explain the Vajra's replication ability. Converting SD energy into matter?

Protodevlin are true Super Dimension creatures since they are energy beings.

The Vahla Ena or Space Whales are in between since they are both energy and organic.

Err... actually The Vajra do space fold... And AFAIK fold technology is based in Super Dimension physics... and the main guns of some Zentradi warships (created and designed by the Protoculture) and the UnSpacy/NUNS warships they originated are in fact Super Dimension energy based weapons...

Is all in the Macross Compendium...

And by the Super Dimension life form moniker I think Grace O'Connor meant that the Vajra are creatures from this universe that actually use Super Dimension energy/power... And according to her speech the Protoculture came to fear, adore and defy their power to the extent of imitating its form... and an image of the birdman from Zero was shown during her speech... so I believe that to be a confirmation of sorts for Protoculture Super Dimension technology being derived from their own Vajra research.

Well... changing to "Vajra" mecha now...

I believe that the final episode of Frontier confirmed that The Vajra use Super Dimension energy and that the Protoculture started using SD energy technologies after researching the Vajra, The Birdman from Zero being an advanced Protoculture sentient mecha designed to resemble the Vajra Queen?

I've seen this picture before, from some magazine, covered with text. Where'd you get a textless version?

4chan anime wallpaper thread...

Maybe the movie will show what happened to the main Galaxy Island in the end...?

Well... I believe that the next Macross music is going to be more orchestral than anything... specially since the next Macross production is going to be officially a movie based on Frontier...

I'm currently looking forward to that...

I was exactly 6 months old...

...and I was 6 years old, hehe...

Movie? Baring someone actually getting away with camcording it (less likely than in other countries with a higher rate of ignorance or public warnings), it'll be after the first DVD/BR release or TV broadcast (not likely).

I'd say 3 to 6 months from the start of threatrical release. But that's a guesstimate with no facts or info on the actual process.

Well... If the movie fares well we may have a dvd release earlier than you think... with the obligatory fan-subbed version just later...

Btw... Though I find that 4chan plot kinda interesting... I must confess that it sounds like a big old style trolling hoax to me...

More mecha... (I wonder if the one with Alto and Ranka was already posted here?)
