  1. Like GU-11 said, she had cybersex and got paid for it. That's a "cyber-ho" in my book. The original english release had the panel removed, I have the second release that was left uncensored.
  2. You know, this thread really has me thinking about where along the line did I just stop giving a F*** about Star Wars. Near as I can tell it was somewhere inbetween Anakin Solo(Leia and Han's kid) getting killed off in the novels under orders from Lucas because he was afraid people might get confused with another Anakin running around despite the books building him up to be the main hero at that point. Episode III driving home the point that Anakin is a emo punk ass b**** that gets manipulated by the promise from palpatine who even admits he can't do what he promised later only for Anakin to be okay with it. Or maybe it was Hayden Christensen being inserted into the end of Return of the Jedi? I used to be a big Star Wars fan, hell my screen name comes from the ESB radio drama! Now I don't really care. Sure I get those little flickers of joy every now and then(lego star wars, kotor, force unleashed) or even hope over this new movie, but its just not what it once was.
  3. Technically in the manga she was a "cyber-ho". At least it was her part time job anyway.
  4. the movie originated as a script for a follow up to the 1984 Return of Godzilla film. Toho at the time held a story contest to decide the plot of the next film. What would eventually be turned into Gunhed lost to the Godzilla vs Biolante script.
  5. Theoretically couldn't the F-22 zoom climb and then at the top up the thrust vectoring nozzles to maintain controlled level flight? Would that count towards breaking the record?
  6. Currently rewatching Scrapped Princess. I still can't believe how bad Bandai dropped the ball with this show by not promoting it. This is a show that should be on Toonami not garbage like Deadman Wonderland, or shows that have already been done to death. The story is great, the dub is amazing, but above all the character designs and the animation levels are stunning.
  7. FHE during one of their VHS releases condensed the Macross saga's 36 episodes down to 6 two hour volumes.
  8. What Yoda said was: "Once you start down the dark path forever will it dominate your destiny." I take that to mean not that you can't escape it, but you will always carry the scars of it with you and pay a heavy price.
  9. Reminds me of Space Above and Beyond's Hammerhead, but at least that looked real enough to fool the Russians. This thing? I've seen fan made X-wing mock ups that look more real.
  10. They would be wise to ensure this film sees a french dub and french subtittles. For whatever reason Harlock is huge in the province of Quebec. Its the only place in north america where the original Harlock tv series, and the later Endless Orbit SSX series saw a broadcast release.
  11. The Lejiverse and Yamato are most definately worth it. Both are some of the best space opera ever made, and yes most of them have been released in the US. About the canon... There is no official canon. While several shows appear to take place in the same universe some are stand alone stories with no connection to anything else, and some are stories based on literary works that use the Leijiverse cast. Off the top of my head... Galaxy Express 999- Leiji Matsumoto's main body of work comprised of two manga series, 3 movies, and a over 100 episode long tv series. Matel Legend- a prequel to Galaxy Express 999 Galaxy Railways-a sidequel tv series and ova to GE999. Space Pirate Captain Harlock-the original tv series featuring Harlock Arcadia Of My Youth- a movie retelling of Captain Harlock's origin. Captain Harlock Endless Orbit SSX- a sequel tv series set in the Arcadia universe Harlock Saga- a OVA series based on Wagner's Die Nibelrung using the Harlock charaters as the cast. Captain Herlock Endless Odyssey Outside Legend- a OVA series originally planned as a sequel to the original Harlock tv series that ended up moving off in its own direction. DNA Sights 999.9- a short ova series featuring cameos by Harlock. Queen Emeraldas- a OVA series following Emeraldas with cameos by Tochiro and Harlock Gun Frontier- A series set in the old west featuring ancestor's of Harlock and Tochiro Cosmo Warrior Zero- a tv series featuring an all new lead character Warrius Zero who's job it is to track down and kill a younger version of Harlock. Battlyzer(IQ9) is a character in it. The series spawned from a shooter videogame drawn by Matsumoto. The Cockpit- a loose collection of WWII stories one of which includes a possible half brother to one of the Harlock ancestors. Interstella 5555- a series of music videos of Daft Punk that were animated into a cohesive story by Matsumoto. Great Yamato and Dai Yamato- two Yamato series Matsumoto tried to make on his own before the lawsuit settled things in Nishizaki's favor. Lightning Ozma- a new post apocolyptic tv series based on some of his earliest work. Time Sweeper Mahoroba- an unfinished manga series that Matsumoto hinted at would tie everything together. Super Dreadnought Mahoroba- a work in production that features a Yamato class ship that may transform into a giant robot.
  12. To answer your question everything is and isn't canon. As for the connection to Space Battleship Yamato, Leiji Matsumoto is the person most responsible for what we received. Half way through preproduction everything had stalled, and he got hired to direct and put the project back on track. This meant renovating everything from the plot to the ship and character designs. The connection it has to the Leijiverse is that Captain Harlock was originally going to appear in it had the show made its full run of episodes in the first season. Unfortunately(or fortunately since this allowed LM to keep the rights to Harlock) the series got cut short and Harlock's cameo was turned into Kodai's(Wildstar's) brother. The senario did play out in the manga version that Matsumoto drew. I'll explain more about the canon later, but its complicated.
  13. Yeah those two figures look more like cosplaying the dirty pair than actually being the dirty pair. They look like crap to be honest.
  14. The only way I'd improve the Yamato is replace the 3rd bridge with another shock cannon turret and add more AA guns to the side/bottom of the ship. I'm pretty sure the anchor is a Nishizaki thing btw.
  15. Hey guys, I think this might be the first topic I've ever actually started on macrossworld. I've actually been contemplating to do a thread on Kaiju for a while especially since there really hasn't been one that I recall. I just couldn't decide on a way to kick it off. What changed? Well with Pacific Rim coming in a couple of months, and next year the american Godzilla reboot now is as good a time as any. That and thanks to Media Blasters, and Miramax releasing Godzilla Vs. Megalon and Godzilla Vs. Biolante respectively I now own all the Godzilla films on dvd.* Of the two I have to say I enjoyed Megalon more. Yeah its cheesy, but its entertaining as hell and Media blasters did one hell of a job on remastering it. Biolante while it has amazing special effects(the G suit is the best of the heisei era) the story isn't that great and I'm still trying to figure out why people over at tohokingdom.com think its one of the great G films of all time. Its still not as bad as the garbage that is Godzilla Vs King Ghidorah. What's the worst one to you guys? Aside from the 1998 american film? Speaking of the 98 film, its actually enjoyable as giant monster film, as long as you don't think of the monster as Godzilla himself which is what the Japanese have done with several of the millenium era films. Anybody else here like Giant Monster figures, toys, and etc? Feel free to discuss them. I've been buying the U.S. Bandai vinyls off and on since I think 2000, but lately it seems they've gone to crap. The latest run is a bunch of reissues with the exception of I think Showa Mechagodzilla. The paints are all wrong(spacegodzilla is black instead of blue) and each figure comes in both a normal version, and a lame gimicky version that feels softer and has sparkles. The only one I picked up was the GMK Godzilla since I missed it the first time around. *(All the films have been released in the United States on dvd with the exception of 1984's Return of Godzilla. I broke down and imported the original Japanese version because it was subbed, and is very different than the american Godzilla 1985 cut.)
  16. Yes which is exactly why I'm against this film being made despite being a robotech fan. To be honest I'm expecting much worse than a Bay film. Much MUCH worse. I'm talking Rise of Cobra and Wing Commander the motion picture bad.
  17. It's about as much of an expansion pack as Wings of Liberty was a complete game.
  18. She's also known as Zhao Yun and this particular figure is based on the artwork gracing the cover of the 14th volume of the manga aka Battle Vixens.
  19. You want dark? Look at the two ewok stand alone films. Caravan of courage introduces us to the Towani family crash landing on endor and reuniting after being split up. Family friendly right? They all die with the exception of the little girl in the first five minutes of the sequel.
  20. Given the prices I've seen people pay for custom's, 3rd parties, and knockoffs I'd say the fans.
  21. Nope! I loved the prison episodes, and killcrazy was hilarious!
  22. FAN-SMEGGING-TASTIC!!!
  23. My thoughts exactly. I could have done so much better.
  24. Didn't say. Discotek is still a small company and doing BD's is expensive for them, but they said they would do it for the right title. If they aquire gunbuster too it might be BD time.
