  1. Save your money its just another online multiplayer generic call of duty knock off. The only fun IE good GiTS game was the original one for the PSX that let you drive the FUCHIKOMA.
  2. Basically its like this. Legacy colllection- Has the original sound effects, but bad visual quality as the masters used were signifigantly degraded. Interesting special feature discs include Robotech II the Sentinels pilot. Protoculture collection- remastered footage, but original classic sound effects have been replaced. The intro and eyecatches were also changed. The special features discs are basically the same as the Legacy set. A&E collection- Basically the same as the Protoculture collection except they altered the Sentinels pilot to remove the parts with Macross flashbacks, and added a 29 minute long version of the Robotech movie without the Megazone 23 footage.
  3. I'm pretty sure you could do the same thing with a lot of franchises. Try asking your coworkers if they like Batman or Superman then ask them to name some villians outside of Lex Luther or the Joker.
  4. There's still the issue of Duke Togo claiming only a small part of the fandom dabbles in the EU when the series as a whole has sold over 160 million copies in addition to routinely cracking the New York times top ten best sellers lists. Hell the Thrawn trilogy alone has sold 15 million copies with Heir to the Empire making it to number one on the list. Even the freaking XXX parody makes reference to Thrawn and the EU.
  5. I've tried explaining this to people for a while now, but more or less get told to shut up and I don't know what I'm talking about.
  6. Anybody watch Hai Furi yet? Everthing I've read about it leads me to believe its more or less a naval version of Girls Und Panzer.
  7. It really depends on which version of Motoko Kusanagi they intend on playing. The differences of the major between the manga, the Oshii directed movies, the SAC, and the newer shows are pretty huge.
  8. Honestly as far as trailers go its really not that much different than the Return of Godzilla one from 84.
  9. It's based on the early concept art from the 1954 film that represented Godzilla as a survivor of a nuclear bomb test hence why he looks like he does. Google image nuclear bomb survivor. When you are done cleaning up your vomit you will understand.
  10. How old are the kids? These minis are pretty intricate and might be out of the skill level of anyone under 15.
  11. To be honest there's alot I just don't like the Macross version's battroid mode. It just seems too bulky and top heavy. I also don't like how the nose cone splits off and the cockpit area just kind of juts out. Given what I've seen Robotech's YF-4 battloid mode while derivative of the VF-1 just looks more streamlined and better proportioned. All in all not its not that bad of a transformation in its own right.
  12. It's not about watching it, its about loving it enough I want it in my collection.
  13. What I meant by second season of Chaika was actually the second cour "Avenging Battle" part. So far Sentai has only released the first 12 episodes.
  14. So its that time again... another Anime Boston another haul for me that puts me into anime over load for the next few months. Here's what I got. Dragonar Academy Coffin Princess Chaika Ladies VS Butlers Turn A Gundam Lord Marksman and Vanadis Heaven's Lost Property(both seasons) Super Dimensional Century Orguss Since I'm still on vacation I've already breezed through Chaika. The only bad thing I can say about it is I'm not happy that Sentai is dragging their feet on bringing out the second season. Other than that everything about it has been stellar, it really is one of the best shows of the last five years or so. I'm only halfway through Ladies VS Butlers, but its actually been a while since an anime comedy actually got a laugh out of me like this has. I'm actually liking the main character as he's less of whipped limp noodle around the ladies and more of a decent guy sometimes caught in some bad looking situations but a limit to the BS he will take. I've been dabbling with Orguss watching episodes here and there, and its definately pure 80s mecha goodness. Its going to take a while to get through, but the highlight so far was watching Kei pondering the girlfriends he left behind and then realizing he most likely just admitted to banging the bridge bunnies and Minmay. I can also kind of see why this didn't get picked for Robotech like the other shows did. While the character designs and some of the mecha look like they might fit, this show is pretty much straight up a super robot show so far and its tone just wouldn't have worked. Finally I just started watching Turn A Gundam. This is my first time even though I've heard quite a few good things about it. I like the art so far and the setting is interesting. I've heard some detractors complain its boring and doesn't have a lot of battles or major action but I'm actually okay with that. Everything thing else has indicated its a well thought out show with a deliberate pace and I like that. I don't need beam spam mecha fests to keep me entertained.
  15. Yeah guys that's the thing about Cannon films, as bad as a lot of their films are more than a handful at least had some entertainment value. Sure its schlock, but its entertaining schlock with some effort put into it. Unlike Asylum who produces garbage with no effort put into it and tries to bite on the trend of whatever movie is popular at the time with half baked knock offs.
  16. Hey you aren't the only one.
  17. sI honest wouldn't mind bringing back Shia Lebouf, except for one condition. Make him the sidekick to his older more mature half brother that Indy concieved with Willie Scott the singer from Temple of Doom. Imagine Mutt on the verge of recovering an old relic when the other guy snatches it from him and a chase squence occurs that ends up being stopped by the main antagonist who addresses them... Bad Guy: "Indiana..." Both: "Yeah?" (before looking at each other awkwardly) Bad Guy: "...Scott we meet at last." cue Indiana Jones theme. This would open up some great call backs to the original trilogy like Last Crusade's two Jones. I'd also try to set it in China and bring back Short Round while picking up from temple's Lao Che gangsters and the gem Indy failed to recove in the opening.
