  1. Good point on the greedy corporate person, but there are always exceptions like in jurrasic park (not counting the unamed park worker at the beginning) where the greedy corporate lawyer was the first to die. Maybe we should do a list of the crewmembers of the ship and pick which order they die if at all.
  2. So anybody want to start up the Prometheus death pool and start making guesses on who gets killed off first? As always in movies like this the safe bet is the token black guy, but the greedy coporate woman who is Chalize Theron's character seems likely to fall too. What do you guys say?
  3. Started watching Gunbuster 2: die buster, and so far I'm not liking what I'm seeing. After two episodes all the characters have either been incompetent, annoying, moronic, or all three at once. I'm also not digging the animation style its way too exagerated and over the top. The mecha designs while unique aren't all that great. I hope this gets better, I'm really starting to get sick of hearing oné-sama this and oné-sama that from Nono every other sentence.
  4. So Roughnecks pretty much took some of the bug designs from the movie, a little bit from the novel, and made its own thing. Now it looks the film version is taking stuff from Roughnecks(the crashing dropship, parts of the armor). I'm not all that excited about this. I expected something better designwise from Aramaki.
  5. Its funny because I have never actually watched Nadia. I know of it but have never seen it. I had Atragon more in mind
  6. Protoculture= original Atlanteans Zentreadi= Atlantean's slave warriors Technology= alchemy Vajra= caused the destruction of atlantis Space travel= undersea/air travel to islands in the sky hidden by clouds SDF-1= WWII/Korean war level technology with alchemy giving it advanced flight ability Battlepod=war of the worldsesque tripod like vehicles VF-1= twin engined fighter similar to P-38 or A-20 Havoc Conventional military= Victorian era/WWI militaries Unification war= Crimean war 10 years after crash= about 30 years to make reverse engineering more believeable Micro missiles= congreave rockets hehe Space fold to pluto= warp to middle of antarctica Grand cannon= litteral grand cannon(think hitler's V3 gun)
  7. 50 foot zentreadi= ancient atlantean civilization whose mastery of alchemy and metal working has disapeared from the face of the earth untill the year 1899 when an abandoned large submersible warship is found by an expedition party of Queen Victoria's. 10 years later the ships owners rise from the depths
  8. Sounds almost like the plot of half the Ace Combat games.
  9. Now that is an interesting question. I guess it would depend of their current working relationship, and wether the bottom line on the video game sales is worth it.
  10. Correct me if I'm wrong, but can't HG who owns the merchandising rights to the original series outside of Japan just go to Namco and work a deal out to get them released worldwide?
  11. I watched Urda: The Third Reich over the weekend. At thirty minutes long its very short and all I can say about it is meh. The animation is the same as appleseed/fear effect, but not as good with the animation very stiff. I agree with your thought on Ragnarok, but did you also feel like you were watching an rpg you couldn't play? All the fights seemed turn based. Also is Fairy Tail really good? It looked too much like One-piece(didn't care for it), and I don't like shows that get stretched out to over 100 episodes, or come with the tag "as serialised in shonen whatever!".
  12. Universal Century animation in chronological order(not counting IGLOO) Gundam 0079(original series) Gundam 08th MS team(OVA set at same time as original series) Gundam 0080(OVA set in final weeks of the one year war) Gundam 0083(OVA) Zeta Gundam(tv series) ZZ Gundam(also called Double Zeta tv series) Gundam Char's Counterattack(movie) Gundam Unicorn(OVA) Gundam F91(movie) Victory Gundam(tv series) Notes: The Zeta Gundam movies may or may not have retconned ZZ Gundam out of existance due to changes in the plot they made. G-Saviour was a live action film that took place after the federation had colapsed, but has since been officially retconned. Turn A Gundam might be a U.C. Gundam series set very very far into its future, but nothing concrete has been said. There are also short OVAs that exist that either expand upon what's seen in the series, or give alternate "what if" scenarios to key events. The name of the eludes me right now. MS IGLOO is a cgi series that is set at various points before, during, and just after the original one year war.
  13. Nobody is interested, because nobody wants the game given the complete pile of crap it is. I haven't even bothered with my code yet
  14. I want one, but to be honest if I try to paint it myself I'm going to ruin it. How much would it cost to build and paint one for me?
  15. As far as anime is concerned Star Trek has more in common with both the original Gundam and Space Battleship Yamato. All three performed poorly ratings wise during their original run and eventually got cut down and cancelled. It was reruns that gave a chance for each series to really take off. Mospeada has more in common with Space: Above and Beyond(Space 2063 for the euros) a show people remember, liked the mechanical designs from, but never caught on and remains a blip on the radar and nothing else.
  16. I picked up my copy yesterday. Its going to be awhile before I get to it as I have to go back and finish my runs on Mass Effect 1, and 2. The DLC missions screwed me up especially on the first one since you can't continue to play after the game ends.
  17. Don't think 129 years makes a difference? Take one merchant marine convoy ship from WWII that had at the most one five inch gun , and through it up against a Napoleonic era ship of the line. That wooden sail ship has a snowballs chance in hell of sinking the convoy ship with cannon balls that would bounce of the steel hull while the merchies five inch gun sinks it one shot.
  18. And with that my interest in Space Pirates has gone into the toilet. I had no problem with the pyshical aspect of space combat in Operators, but damn the plot left a bad taste in my mouth, and the carboard cutout characters doing inexplicably stupid things.
  19. Does anybody know anything about the "Cosmo Dreadnought Mahoroba" movie project Leiji Matsumoto has coming for 2013? I know Mahoroba is something of a sister ship to the Yamato, theres an unfinished manga based on the Mahoroba, and both ships appeared in the Galaxy Express manga together. After digging around google I found a forum where someone took some pics of a promotional standee... http://www.sgcollect.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=64445 Super robot? Meets Yamato?
  20. No after Netter went up in flames HG went to Tatsunoko to create a more anime 2D styled RT3K. After some pre-production art and charcter designs were made Tommy Yune got hired, everything got canned and SC started up.
  21. A big part of RT3K being cancelled was Netter Digital going bankrupt and Yune taking over.
  22. Like I said I've seen worse. Divergence Eve Best I've seen is the 3 second shot of the colony cylinder from Char's Counterattack. I never noticed untill I read about it in a magazine.
  23. The worst CG I've seen integrated into 2D animation(no not shadow chronicles, not by far) would have to be Divergence Eve, and its spioff Misaki Chronicles. We are talking playstation one(PSX) level graphics here in a show made in 2003. That and the character designs being rejects from hentai with GGG cup breasts do the actual plot a great diservice which is deadly serious and has much in common with Event Horizon. I'm trying to slug through Blassreiter because the plot is interesting, but the CG can be to much. Its not completely the quality(though that's a big chunk) its also because they use several differents styles of CG that clash. One moment you have a 2D character against a screensaver looking background, riding a bike that is on the level of advent children quality detail, fighting a monster with starship trooper roughnecks chronicles quality, while cel shaded cars right out of Initial D passby. That makes it quite painful. Vandread wasn't that bad or jarring mostly because it avoided putting 2D characters on the screen at the same time and when it did it was handled fairly well, and the plot really outshown its technical shortcommings. As for Shadow Chonicles...(sigh) its not the worst cg out there, it is dated though for its time.
  24. My only complaint is you didn't get enough shots of the girls in the Yuki costume! If you don't mind i'd like to ask you something. Since you work for/with the guys at Voyager Entertainment can you tell me why only starblazers has been released in the states, but not the original un-edited series? I know the original movies have been released but its not the same.
