Re: Ninja Robot Tobikage Mech Profile
So are there any profiles for Ninja Robot Tobikage? I Could only find a few photos, but the profiles are from the English dub. None of which I am aware. The only artbook I have that even mentions the series is a design works collection by mechanical designer Yasuhiro Moriki... but it only shows a f...

Re: The Official Gundam: Requiem for Vengeance Anime Thread Mk I
Even in the origional show there was some grey, TBF that was actually followed on in quite a few Sunrise anime , granted it was more on the level of you could understand someones motivation even if you disagreed with their actions. Not on the Zeon side, really. The Principality of Zeon was partly i...

Re: Tenchi Franchise/AIC
I've only seen the 90's stuff, I liked Universe and Tenchi In Tokyo despite the reputation for it. Gemini War was okay but a little too fantasy heavy for me. I heard the first 6 episodes of the ova is the peak of the franchise before other producers got int he way of the original directors vision a...

Re: Tenchi Franchise/AIC
Did anyone find the later tenchi spinoffs worth while, I only saw some of Gemini War and it was okay but a bit too isekai for me. Tenchi Muyo! is a difficult franchise to follow nowadays, because it's gone full mixed-media and a large chunk of the story is only available in the light novel series. ...

Re: Favorite macross series?
Between that and the English subtitled releases of all the main titles except the original on Disney+, it's a pretty damn good time to be a Macross fan. I've started working on a full translation of all of the Variable Fighter Master File books too, I've already got two volumes practically done and ...

Re: Favorite macross series?
The JDM 4K UHD release of Macross: Do You Remember Love? was today.
It's a great set, though the upscaling and AI tools-assisted cleanup of the original footage has obliterated the film grain.

Re: The Official Gundam GQuuuuuuX Mecha Thread Mk I
It should actually be easier to design than the common ball joint used in Gundam franchise. You seldom see ball joint designs irl that are powered(I can't even think of one out of the blue. Some real life concept robots has a ball for movement but for joints...?), all of the designs that required a...

Re: Favorite macross series?
Yeah, some folks are reporting subtitle sync issues on a few episodes. Folks are reporting that fears of Disney censoring Macross were largely unfounded. Thus far, only one instance of censorship (vs. the home video releases) has been reported: the removal of the sexual assault scene in Macross Dyna...

Re: DVD region code?
How possible is it to watch DVD's from a different region on a DVD player? You would need a region-free DVD player. They are available, but they're usually something you have to very specifically shop for. Most players in any given region are hard-coded for the specific region they are sold in. I f...

Re: Favorite macross series?
Yep, they're available.
True to form, fans are already complaining about Disney+'s handling of the subtitles.

Re: Gundam Side Material
Side materials can provide you with clarifications and more details and canon or different point of view of things instead of pov from a single side like in shows(though shows CAN be made as an omniscience view instead of one sided) The best side material is that which draws additional, but not str...

Re: Gundam Side Material
So how nessesary do you feel additional material ( offical setting guides, etc) is to watching Gundam? I find it varies , but there are quite a few things that make more sense about the anime with knowledge from the side material. Eh... that's kind of a silly question, isn't it? "Side material...

Re: Panzer World Galient
So how much information is out there about Panzer World Galient's production and sales/ratings? The series ending is rather abrupt, which might mean it was cut short in production like many other Mecha Anime. , however they did make an alternate universe OVA a few years later. Not much, AFAIK.

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Mecha Thread Mk I
1. How did Prospera get the resources to create ELEVEN clones of her daughter? Did she copy and paste her biocode onto some makeshift cloning machine or did she screw her way through Shin-Sei's management to get those resources? Unclear. It's something that happens offscreen between the prologue an...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Mecha Thread Mk I
They do seem to have similar immunity like Elle? The eleven "Children of the Coven" are all repli-children (clones) of Ericht Samaya... so presumably they at least have similarly high resistance to the permet data storms of the Lfrith/Aerial that Suletta Mercury does. Whether they're out-...

Sadly we don't have info on the other 11 clones that are controlling the bits. Whether they are just data clones are once biological clone like Suletta. We actually do have commentary on that note from the season 2 Mechanics & World book. On page 41, the glossary entry for "repli-child&quo...

Re: The Official Gundam: The Witch From Mercury Mecha Thread Mk I
This part I don't understand. Elle seems to not only have high resistance, she's basically having the same signal(by miracle level of chance) hence she's not affected by it at all in ep.0 Suletta is her clone, they should have the same signal and virtually immune to permet data storms even without ...

Does anyone else think the Calibarn’s lore doesn’t make any sense? I say this because there’s a few things about it which kinda irk me. There are a lot of things in G-Witch's writing that don't make sense for so many reasons. The Calibarn felt like such a trivial part of the story that I confess I ...
