Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread
Remember that the creation the EU took several years before the Maastrict Treaty was even signed, and then a few more years to be ratified. And it happened on the previous framework established by the European Communities. On the surface you've got parliamentarian debates, referendums, etc. Behind ...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread
So before Zero happened, there had already been humans on Mars, right? Yeah, the Earth UN Gov't started building permanent bases on the Moon and on Mars in 2000 and 2001 respectively. I'm thinking about by the time of Delta, what is the smallest vessel that can make that kind of interplanetary trip...

Re: Dorvack and the mech genre
Where exactly did the Mech Isekai thing start anyway? Dunbine flopped but proved popular later. Panzer World Galient had to wrap up early. Would Escaflowne be more of an influence? Lets face it, there aren't all that many Mech Isekai anyway. How broad do we want to get with the term "mech"...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread
Wouldn't a machine of that size be similar to something like a Predator on steroid? No, they're pretty much opposite applications. The real world General Atomics MQ-1 Predator is designed for very stable flight and high endurance to allow it to loiter in the area of operations for at least half a d...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread
Even with how AI tech was restricted after the Sharon Apple accident, can something like the AIF-7's AI recognize an enemy machine by visual on its own? The exact capabilities of the semi-autonomous air combat AI program used in the AIF-7 Ghost have not been elaborated upon in any real detail, but ...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread
Is there any data on how fast and how long can your typical VF missile travel? In general, no. There is actually some information about the performance of the VF-1's missiles, but it's apocryphal at best since it comes from the old Sky Angels book that was basically the very first VF-1 technical ma...

Re: Dorvack and the mech genre
Funny that Dunbine is not unsimilar, but it is also basically one of the earliest if not earliest isekai fantasy mecha that inspired later isekai mecha genre like Magic Knight Rayearth and Knights and Magic/joke To be honest, I don't recall anyone ever citing Dunbine as an inspiration for their wor...

Re: Dorvack and the mech genre
As a good general rule, a title so influential that it could be considered a metaphorical cornerstone of its genre would one that was so successful that its success inspired others to imitate it. You could make a reasonable argument that titles like Gundam or Macross were "cornerstone" tit...

Re: Fukudas best work
True but Gear Fighter Denoh, Cross Ange are good measures of his style. I don't want to say SEED is his greatest work but he's quite proud of it. But I think Grendizer U shows he can produce pretty entertaining series. He actually hinted he wanted to do more Cross Ange but Bandai was focusing on Gu...

Re: Fukudas best work
No bashing Fukuda or Destiny please, but what was considered his best work in the eyes of Japan, [...] Eh... if we're being honest with each other, Fukuda's filmography only really has two noteworthy titles on it: Future GPX Cyber Formula and Mobile Suit Gundam SEED . If you don't count the remaste...

Re: Earth Alliance Fleet Development History?

As per usual, information about Gundam SEED 's minor and background designs is effectively limited to just what's strictly relevant to their role in the story proper and basic statements about the capabilities they demonstrate in...

Re: Refit of ships
So in various timelines (most notably UC and CE ) pre MS ship are Refitted to carry MS, so what exactly does a refit entail? Is it just rebuilding existing ships with hangars or do they also make new models of existing lines with these refits? The Gundam franchise's official publications generally ...

Re: The Official Macross Delta Anime Thread Mk I
It's neat to hear more positivity regarding Crunchyroll, (they do at time have issues with stuff not always playing, but that's usually fixed fairly quickly). I 'm not a very technical person , so I'm unsure how exactly these services work on a technical level, I've just found Crunchyroll has a ver...

Re: The Official Macross Delta Anime Thread Mk I
The fan community is VERY confused now...

All but a few OVA licenses are ef...

Re: Metallic Rouge
This far in, my impression is that this could be charitably described as an 'animator's show,' primarily a vehicle to showcase the studio's talent & technical ability, like that sequence in the tunnel where Naomi doffs her environmental suit. It's been described as old-school Disney-esque in ho...

Re: Metallic Rouge
Metallic Rouge still isn't the worst studio original anniversary series I've ever seen... but it is rapidly closing that gap. It was clear after just one or two episodes that "half baked" would be an incredibly charitable description of the writing here, but it is impressive in a bad way ...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread
As I was thinking whether the VF-11 Booster count as a quadjet (probably not, because they added rocket boosters and not jet engines, right) or not, the same question applies to the Super Messiah, Super Lucifer, Durandal and Super Siegfried? Do they count as quadjets? Like, does the the drones carr...

Re: Metal and Volcanic Heat.
