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

Well from technical standpoint Disney+ is more advanced, especially app while Chrunchyroll's app is ... well clumsy and has issue. Plus they seem to lack technical capacity to ensure stream is good quality worldwide. ... I think you might have the names backwards there. Disney+'s app is an embarras...

Re: The Official Macross Delta Anime Thread Mk I

The fan community is VERY confused now... Most of us were thinking that Macross would land at Crunchyroll, given that it recently finished merging with original series licensee Funimation and that it purchased Macross TV series licensee Nozomi Entertainment in 2022. 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: Post Disaster Frames

So is there any difference on the technical level between the numerous Gundam Frames of the Post Disaster Era? Or is it the armor and weapons added that make the difference? The published materials strongly lean towards the idea that the frames are the same, and performance differences are due to t...

Re: Metal and Volcanic Heat.

Turn A Gundam works out better in this case as the advanced tech fits into Clarks Third Law (Nanomachines can actually repair the units), so that may more easily Handel the volcanic heat ( Though Corin is still running around above the ava with no Ill effect). As for Layzner Layzner itself doesn't ...

Re: Metal and Volcanic Heat.

I mean, we have people working near volcanoes and most of the time we see them in a fire resistant suit and they are fine. Some even got away with it without protective wearing. For example: https://www.bbc.com/news/av/world-42316039 That's very different to the circumstances being discussed though...

Re: Metal and Volcanic Heat.

It really depends on the technology of the series. Which is to say, it really depends on how divorced the series is from anything resembling conventional physics or modern technology. Most of the time, writers forget that convection is a thing and that just hanging out near something like magma woul...

Re: Metallic Rouge

Episode seven of Metallic Rouge finally gets off its arse and does some proper exposition. Too little, much too late, and what detail we get really makes it feel like the story of Rouge Redstar and Naomi is far and away the least interesting thing going on in the setting. The reveal that Naomi is a ...

Guess you need to search better. They've mentioned it quite a few times in interviews and whatnot.

Re: Metallic Rouge

Episode 6 is no better... what a mess. For some reason, the writers felt compelled to remind the audience how pretentious they are by having an annoying minor character go on about his love for paper books while holding copies of The Brothers Karamazov , King Lear , and Alice in Wonderland . I'm sur...

Re: Metallic Rouge

So... getting caught up on Metallic Rouge after a spectacular failure to care about its release schedule. In a way, it's oddly impressive how consistently bad the writing in this series is. If you're going to do a flashback episode, the flashbacks should actually add something meaningful to the stor...

Re: Reconciling After Colony Stats question

So you have various sources for After Colony mobile suits that seem to give wildly different ideas of what the Tallgeese is capable of, some say it can accelerate at over 15G or is it 20G. But then others still I believe merely say it can pull maneuvers that put 12G's of stress on the pilot(basical...

Re: Adding Obscure Mecha to games

Say someone was making a new crossover Mecha RPG game (It certainly ain't me aside from a silly personal TRPG). They want to fill it with lots of units, including the obscure ones, such as the variations from Dougram. Then there is the problem, there is virtually no information for these lesser kno...

Re: The Macross Valkyrie Thread

Do we've any idea how energy-intensive are VF stuffs such as the laser turrets, beam cannons, and pin-point barrier? For a few items, anyway... the VF-1's Mauler ROV-20 laser cannon is rated at 5,000kW, with the A-type having one, the D-type and J-type having two, and the S-type having four. Energy...
