Abombz!! Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Sounds fun. I just hope he doesn't shove the whole enviromental crap down our throats like he did in Arjuna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 With your powers combined, I AM CAPTAIN GLOBAL HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!! Heheh! That's so funny, I felt obliged to actually post something here. So, yeah, anyway, this new show... Sounds like a piece of sheet. Up to you to prove me wrong, Shoji! That's all I have to say.

MSW Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 QUOTE (Duke Togo @ Feb 4 2004, 07:15 PM) Kawamori did the original Dangaio, did he not? He did the mecha design, yeah. erm.. with lots of help from Masami Oobari...especialy in the final combined robot form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewilen Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 A this rate the next Macross series will be about one of the environmental restoration teams. That wouldn't be so bad...could be kind of Patlaborish (or, from what I know if it, Planetes-ish). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Final Vegeta Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Sucks it isn't Macross. Anyway, despite it sounding like every single Powers Rangers like show made I have question. Doesn't the fact that it contains big robots piloted by people pretty much go against saving the environment? All of those battles are going to do some serious destruction to the very environment they are trying to save. How are they going to actually use these things to save things. Its using force vs force. Things will get destroyed no matter what. Not to mention natural resources. Maybe this thing is actually questioned in the show. And maybe the show is aware of current problem but not preachy like Arjuna. Kawamori wrote "Earth Defense Family", which should be a parody of sentai shows, and AFAIK it didn't have ecological themes. Question does SK have to even direct or be apart of a new Macross series for it to be good or for fans to accept it? To me the answer is yes. What made Valkyries attractive to me is the real world planes design elements. Macross II's Valkyries look just like generic space planes, and the increasing number of guns on the other mechas is just too freudian for me. What I have to say: You got Macross Plus and then there was Macross 7. You got Macross Zero and then there is Aquarian. I like Macross 7, but I think many will be disappointed by Aquarian. Since it's not Macross thankfully I won't hear too much complains here. In Japan TV series are almost always meant for little boys, Aquarian seems to follow the trend. OVAs don't sell that much anymore. TV has obvious limits, though, even if I still think the real deal for a writer comes when he can't kill characters. Anyway, you got the serious mecha fan anime OVAs and now you will have a cheesy mecha series for character fans, just more mature than the others (and maybe with subliminal messages for growing children. Kawamori don't make animes just for fun). The real painer for me it is the format. 52 episodes typically mean crappy animation due to budget restraint, but I hope Kawamori can get motivated animators. As long as it is original, I will be happy about Aquarian. Just wish Kawamori one day will make a cross-over of all his mechas (but obviously there are copyrights interpherences) FV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrylac Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Let's see, global warming is based on junk science, the ban on DDT cost millions of lives to malaria and logging restricitons made SoCal and other places go up like tinderboxes. Yea, environmentalism. I'll likely skip this one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob joe mac Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 (edited) Meh it sounds like the other 90% of robot shows but this time it will have a cheesy moral. Whatever if the characters aren't annoying and the robot is cool ill watch it. On another note I'm surprised most of you people are able to watch Ghibli movies because Quite a few of them are quite preachy and about saving nature.(Nausicaa, pom Poko, Mononoke, Grave etc.) Edited February 5, 2004 by bob joe mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom64ss Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Geez guys, I'm as upset as the next guy that it's not going to be a Macross series, but I think I'll wait to actually see an episode (or at least some screen shots) before I decide if I like it or not. Wouldn't that be nice if this series rocks, has great mecha, and cool toys. It'd be especially satisfying to know that HG couldn't touch it. That means cheap (or at least cheaper) toys.

Angel's Fury Posted February 5, 2004 Share Posted February 5, 2004 Say it ain't so Sho-joePlease don't let it be a Captain Planet "Save the inviroment" Show where machines -which use up enormous amounts of the earth's recources being produced and maintained- go out, burn fuel, leave toxic waste and save the planet from bad guys that only want to be able to sell furniture cheaper OMG Captian Mullet? I hated that show. Vostok 7 Geeky! Bummer! So this isn't so? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It'd be especially satisfying to know that HG couldn't touch it. That means cheap (or at least cheaper) toys. Agreed. So what if it ain't Macross. It might be good. It might be bad. But until we see it, I don't quite see how you can form an opinion if all we have is a description. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 The new series may be good, or it may not...................The point is I DONT CARE! I'm just so disappointed that SK and BW have let us down so badly by not making a new Macross TV series. It's ten years already since we had Macross 7 and it's about time for a new TV series. Could Macross Zero be the last hurrah for Macross? I'm now in the second day of my sulk after hearing this news, and I honestly feel like I'm close to losing faith in the Hoary Froating Head.

F360° Posted February 6, 2004 Share Posted February 6, 2004 I hope Macross Zero wouldn't be the last, it better not be. I want remakes. so they can continue on after the Prequal. As for the new series, as long as it's not about little boy and girls it's fine with me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
