Southcross Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 .... Ya, coming from a TF? Well I guess its as believable as taking the word of any politician it all depends on who you ask.

BFG-1 Gigan Posted February 10, 2004 Author Share Posted February 10, 2004 Now only if Soundwave was a bit bigger, his figure is tiny. If he could be the size of 20th Prime then there's a decepticon, but his G1 Figure(I have the re-issue) is the size of Armada Lazerbeak.

Agent ONE Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Robotech is like watching Hamlet in Jive, then having the "writers" change the story to make Army of Darkness the sequel. BFG-1 Gigan, seriously you came to the right place... You will understand everything we are saying once you see the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Final Vegeta Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 Okay, correction time. Fox's Escaflowne was the dubbed/edited for US audience version. It was not hacked. It only eliminated episode 1 from the series. Other than that, Escaflowne was the same series that was showed in Japan. I am not American, but I've heard something frightening about what Fox actually aired: http://www.geocities.com/TelevisionCity/Ta.../6785/esca.html I've heard though they aired the show a second time, and then they just cut some gore, it even had the first episode.

FV That's the thing about Robotech. It gives this type of dissection and horrid kidification(?) a brand name people can actually direct their disgust at. Where people can just say Fox screwed up with the American version of Escaflowne. BTW I tried to catch Escaflowne on TV but I kept catching the same damn ep.

Anubis Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 (edited) If you want to see a show completely converted into jive, examine the dub of Initial D. Idiocy. BTW: Actually Bandai's initial release of Escaflowne was delayed to give Fox a chance at airing the show, before it was realized what a hack job Fox did to it. Disgraceful they way the cut it up, and gave it a techno-ish intro. Frightening. There were blood edits throughout, along with some of Hitomi's fortune telling, IINM. The award for most blatant chop-up is still RT's though. Edited February 10, 2004 by Anubis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lebhead Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 Mospeada actually ran all the way through it's episodes and spawned an OVA, unlike SC which was wound up early or Macross's ping-ponging episode length.Cyc hehe... nice quiet jab from Cyc!

CoryHolmes Posted February 11, 2004 Share Posted February 11, 2004 I think that what Fox did to Escaflowne is far worse than what HG did to Robotech. For the simple reason that Fox edited and changed the show and still tried to pass it off as the original. HG took the three shows and made a new one out of them, using basically just the animation. The story and plots were essentially new and an amaglamation of the three shows that made it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
