Hmm. I'm really hoping that's Lyle taking over Lockon's code name and not actually Lockon!

In a recent interview, Mizushima, the director of 00 said

That was pretty cool..

Still waiting for "Libre Me"... Hopefully featuring King Kittan..

I like VLC player. Simple to use, and seems to support more file types than Media Player.

Keeping in mind that Macross was created by the same authors of Gundam, it wouldn't surprise me if originally there was supposed to be a pseudo-science based on the fold dimension to explain many aspects of overtechnology.

FV

Yeah..

Macross was created by Shoji Kawamori, a prolific anime creator and mech designer who also had a hand in the creation of Escaflowne.

The creator of Gundam is Yoshiyuki Tomino. He's one of the guys who was involved with anime from the beginning; he helped produce one of the first anime series in Japan- Tetsuwan Atom. In a way, you could say he opened the door for Macross; with the original Gundam series, he ushered in the era of Real Robots, which gave birth to shows like Votoms, SPT Layzner, and Macross.

heres some gurren lagann Cosplay Pictures i took at AX '08 on Thursdy. thought they were pretty good =]

Cool pics; thanks for sharing!

...Somebody get that Yoko a sandwich.

What??? NUUUUUUU!!!!! Evil EVIL Kaiyodo!

I agree. I wonder how much this is going to be going for on ebay.

She already showed that she is super badass. Leaping tall buildings in a single bound

Yeah; that was Super-Cool.

Some of you probably think Ranka has an alien inside her hmm?

I think she's some type of Zentradi/Vajra/human hybrid.

Brera: You do not suit her.

Thanks!

Grace as she is activating the device: The death of the Galactic Fairy and the annihilation of the fleet. The hatred will grow like an inferno..

?

So,

Brera is Ranka's brother... U can see Brera at the side of Ranka and their parents (and their dog!!!) in the crystal pic...

HA! I thought so! I called it back in "The Legend Of Zero"!

So why

?

The stream isn't working anymore..

No live this week, it seems. ;_;

Thanks for the screencaps azrael!

No doubt. How do you get them so quickly? Are you in Japan?

New pics of Kotetsushin Jeeg plus his transforming motorbike head.

Jeeg is looking pretty sweet! I guess it will come with two heads; one static, anime-accurate head and one with the transformation feature. Now if only someone would license the anime for release in the States. Some of my fansub episodes are missing the subs.

More Fulldrillized GL and ARX-8 pics.

Not too wild about the Fulldrillized Gurren Lagann. The effect was cool in the context of the show, but all of the drills detract from the aesthetic of the 'bot, in my opinion. If it comes with Gurren Wing part(s), I'll probably pick it up, however. I like the silver drill key, and I could use the forearms as alternate arms for my regular GL Revoltech.

By the way; here's a link to the Revoltech Enki-

Anyone know when this will be released?

Getting randomly sick has kept me from watching past the first 3 episodes until my ear drains, but more good news, this disc's have all of original japanese text intro's & endings. Definate points to Bandai, since those will be gone on the disc's released next year.

So what's out right now? Are you referring to the DVD produced by ADV before they lost the license, or are you talking about the Bandai Subs? And is Bandai releasing the discs one every month or so, or are they releasing the series in its entirety (box set)?

By the way; hope you get well soon.

Well, they are all revoltechs, but the Revoltech faulien series (Eva chicks, Idol series, Saber, Rin) are much larger than

Revy revoltech. which is a shame, smaller the better.

Thanks.

So... she's a fraulien? Or will we be lucky an get one size of Revy? those joints look Revyish, not frailien. *shrugs*

I'm not very experienced with Revoltech figures. What's the difference between Revoltech and Frauline Revoltech?

Thanks for your efforts at preserving classic anime, Area88! Much appreciated!

Pics of Daimos, new T-28, new Black Ox and L-Gaim from Tokyo Toy Show 2008.

NICE.

Just when I think I've sated my appetite for SOCs, a new one comes along to re-awaken the fever. This will be mine!

Grace could just be listening in on the conversation...

Good point; I was thinking the same thing. I don't think that this is the case, though.

YAY!!! Glad to see Klan in this episode.

Made me happy, too. I wish we could have seen more of her, though.

Thank's ackem. Man; I gotta learn Japanese.

He's

Alto's dad's senior apprentice, but when Alto was disinherited, he was adopted into the family.

Thanks. Was there any significance

The kid who visits Alto was

That is freakin' cool! Please tell how you made it!

I believe Heinlein refers to it as looking like an "armored gorilla."

That image of the design from the movie looks a little better, but still not great. If it's powered suit-sized, I can't see how somebody's legs would fit into it. Maybe it's much bigger and the pilot sits in the chest.

Here's a link for the Japanese trailer for the film. The Mech appears in the last scene of the trailer. I was mistaken about it being powered armor; looks like it is an out-and-out mecha. It looks like the thing is maybe 12 to 20 meters tall? I'm basing this on the shadow cast by the thing as Rico looks up at it.

I'd guess about as tall as 2 votoms scopedog mechs stacked on top of each other, or about the size of a first generation Valkyrie?

I just stumbled on this picture of the Power Armor that will be featured in this film-

Pretty slick, IMO. I look forward to seeing how they pull it off.

Y denotes a Prototype craft, while V means "Variable", as in Variable Fighter, hence "VF"

The Macross Compendium has an excellent Glossary section that has all the little acronyms used in Macross.

Thank you! I didn't know the compendium existed; thanks for the link!
