Zor Primus Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 A wallet? Seriously? This is ridiculous. If you open the wallet a voice starts to whisper..."Robotech is chicken soup for the soul" within days you begin to wither away, but not before you give the wallet to someone else and the vile process begins anew. Kinda like The Ring...only this time a pair of boobies will devour you at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry the lone wolf Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 (edited) In during Monty Python http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gldlyTjXk9A&feature=related :edit: As for the love triangle thing I would say that Frontiers triangle is more "mysterious" in the sense that it's open ended. There's no clear winner, so it's up the the audiences' interpretation to decide who ends up with who, where as SDF:M makes it very obvious early on that Hikaru and Misa are meant to be together, and it's more about watching Hikaru grow out of his juvenile crush on Minmei. And regarding the whole recycling material argument: I think that a big part of why Macross can get away with it and Robotech doesn't is that in Macross, while certain premises and characters tend to show up over and over, every time the actual characters and stories themselves have enough depth and complexity beyond those general archetypes that each iteration remains fresh and interesting. The characters and stories in Robotech however have virtually NOTHING to them beyond the broadest token tough chick/evil villain/young hotshot characterizations and generic alien invasion plots. You're missing my point; I'm not talking about the end or resolution of the triangle but during it. When I watched Robotech in the 80's and not only the mecha action intrigued me but also who Rick was going to choose: Minmay or Lisa. I totally was amazed with some of that stuff like Lisa doing Rick's cleaning and Minmay getting tipsey and getting a drink thrown in her face by Kyle. I moved to New York in the 90's and one of my best friends from Dominican Republic discovered RT on SciFi Channel. He used to call me everyday and ask me how's it going to end and I'd never spoil it for him. I really loved Macross Frontier but the triangle felt a little like deja-vu to me. It was set up early on that these were going to be the girls Alto was going to choose but in the beginning of Macross you understood that Rick crushed on Minmay but him & Lisa couldn't stand each other. Though over course of the story they eventually warmed up to each other. That's why I believe the 25 episode limit was a detriment to the character development; it just wasn't enough episodes. The two Macross Frontier movies will benefit because the basic story parameters have been set so now they can build upon it.

Jasonc Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 tsk tsk, didn't you know? The Shadow Chronicles and RT.com are family friendly! Even though most of the sites users are middle aged men who can't say "fart" without offending Steve Yun also Boobs are family friendly too! They're great for a day out motorboating, LMAO!!! But seriously, showgirls from outerspace is the subtitle they shoulda given RT. Do you see any pockets in those skintight jumpsuits of theirs? They must keep the wallets in crevasses of the body, but that must make the plastic cards either stinky, or really sweaty, Hahaha. and yet they have belts... They're just trying to imitate Batman and his utility belt. Hey, maybe they have the wallet in the belt and that's what the belt is for, to carry your cash, ID, SSN, Driver's lic., stale cheetos, VHS rental card, and condoms. "Brown Chickent Brown Cow!!!"

On the few occasions I've met a Japanese person who was aware of Robotech's existence, their thoughts on it could usually be summed up as "They did what?" or "That's stupid! Why would they do that?".

Einherjar Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 (edited) OMFG??!!! Wow, what an emblem. No seriously, what an emblem, because it's probably the most expensive part of the wallet and what people are really paying for. You can buy other adult designer wallets and still keep your dignity with prices like that. I know merchandising like this is common, but Shadow Chronicles definitely doesn't deserve it, especially when it literally went nowhere x years afterward (whenever it came out and still mattered).

Legioss Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 It looks like some sort of joke or parody skit about "what if Robotech were animated by people who only have a superficial understanding of Japanese animation and animation in general?" except it really happened! Harmony Gold actually paid inexperienced animators so they could experiment in making an anime. "Scott" looks hardcore baked, like he's marvelling at how ripped he is now that he's hit that entire blunt. His armor and his body has been drawn completely wrong. "Ariel"'s having some sort of intestinal problem. It's a train wreck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contour of here boob just runs right into here shirt with only color separating the too. furthermore, her clothing has no wrinkles whatsoever and reflects light in the exact same way as here skin. This can only mean one thing: That's really just body paint, and she's completely naked. Also she has no nipples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 This is a little too easy, you can take a still frame from any animation and make fun of it for days... not every frame can be a winner.

Gubaba Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Very good, but still pales into insignificance when compared to this.... Heh. Speaking of "The #1 Robotech Fan Bitch" (his words, not mine), turns out he's gotten his feelings hurt over my allegations that his numbers are padded out, and has put something up at RDFHQ to show that I shouldn't mess with him. (If you're interested, it's the last post on this thread: http://rdfhqcommunicationscenter.yuku.com/topic/2979/Robotech-fan-podcast ) Now, there's a definite discrepancy here, and it's the same discrepancy you see on the iTunes store if you type in an artist's name (or podcaster's name) or if you look at an album (or podcast). Basically, the album popularity bars tend to be inflated, but searching for the artist's name (or song title, or anything like that) will give you a more accurate reading. So he's using the inflated system, where the popularity bars on 100 plus podcast episodes are maxed out, and the rest show no activity. You'll also noticed that the stats he put up are arranged by date, rather than solely by popularity. Simply put, Bendo doesn't know what he's doing and doesn't know how to interpret the information, so he's just going with whichever pages look the most flattering. Anyone who has actually spent some time with the iTunes store knows he's full of it. Ah well, at least he indirectly admits that he illegally uploaded Macross Frontier songs. Anyway, all of this gives me an idea...He's been trying to get me on his show for a long time now, but it really seems like small potatoes...too small for me. But hey, it's a new year, times change, blah blah blah. So I'll do his show...IF one hundred unique individuals tell me to. More info is available here on Robotech X. Unfortunately, due to rules about Bendo talk on the site, it has to be in the Cannon Fodder forum (which is only accessible by members), but my hope is that all of Bendo's 6000 lessoners will sign up and make their voices heard!
