A Sea Dart VF? That admittedly sounds interesting. It'd be even more interesting than the actual F2Y Sea Dart, since VFs can operate underwater too. The VF-1's good down to 100m, so the VF-5 was probably capable of similar feats. Also, the Windermereans must have had tested the apples on experiment...

Wait? I don't remember there are any colony-made VF among those "missing" ones you mentioned in a previous post? Not VFs developed by emigrant governments, but rather the 2nd Generation VF models that were developed with an eye towards providing newly-settled emigrant planets with designs...

That is a shame. I really like single-engine aircrafts. There's a possibility one of the cheap VFs from the early colony years might've been a single-engine design, but on the average twin-engine designs have a pretty significant advantage. Say, what is the current state of chemical/biological weap...

Hmm... A single-engine Valkyrie is an impossible thing, right? If I remember correctly, there is a Transformer who is based on the F-16, but I suppose no designer would radically change the Valkyrie's legs to accomodate a single-engine design. It'd require an unconventional transformation to pull i...

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2019-07-15/macross-streaming-program-bd-to-include-concert-cg-anime-shorts/.149003 How long do these type of radio shows go on? The longest one I can recall is from the Idolmaster franchise. Until they stop being profitable... which for Macross , could take qui...

Its a alternate take on UC Gundam, hence the earlier development of mobile suits from the Federation side. It's a more sensible take on the Federation's mobile suit program, IMO... The way Origin has it, the Federation at least had a grounding in building mobile weapons before attempting to go all-...

Say, is there any third-party company making bootleg VF? I just found out about the VF-25's concept art (http://www.toyark.com/attachments/109d1227408331-26371_n20081020_robot_02.jpg?s=5e2cda793347af63b3851117dcecc60a) and it would be cool to see it in a 3D model. Well, some would argue that Harmon...

So basically, it seems like Tatsunoko has decided that as long as Harmony Gold holds onto that license, they might as well squeeze every last dollar out of Harmony Gold's pockets, even if that company finally gets its act together and does something viable with Robotech due to this? My suspicion is...

Perhaps a failure to renew trademarks would be a possible weakpoint? Still, I wonder how much money they can sink into Robotech before they realize its not worth it, even if you take the illegal dealings out of it? I mean, paying to use three different shows must cost a pretty penny. Yeah, the Ital...

Perhaps we shouldn't go after Harmony Gold, or at least its animation department. Maybe we should go after its parent company, or at least its real estate side and putting pressure on it. It's not really a parent company, the Robotech team is just an operating unit of Harmony Gold USA. I'm not sure...

As far as I'm aware that's a baseless rumor.

Nope.

Sadly Harmony Gold renewed their licence with Tatsunoko for Macross.... Tatsunoko caved in.... https://twitter.com/MetalSkinPanic/status/1147312529376337920 What a f*cking travesty. Tatsunoko did a dumb, dumb thing. I can only assume they decided to take Harmony Gold to the cleaners over their alle...

I would be incline to disagree. To me it feels like the line between reality and fiction was really thinned out by Evangelion. Yes, it was not the show to start it, but it contributed awfully lot to it. Reading about things surrounding the shows when its originally ran, from the way they marketed m...

let's hope the the original mecha anime Granbelm can do the mecha anime with girls better. As difficult as it would be to make a mecha anime worse than The Price of Smiles , Granbelm looks like it's about to give it the good ol' college try. From the two trailers I was able to find, Granbelm looks ...

IMHO, Space Battleship Yamato, Gundam, Macross, and Evangelion are four shows which changed the way anime is delivered to the fans, and the fans themselves. Ugh... no, Evangelion doesn't belong on that list. It came SO long after those first three set up anime as a medium you could do serious drama...

it's finally upon us. a new dub for the original TV series and the Movies. and just like in the 90s, lots of people went into RAGE mode. here are 2 links i've come upon A lot of folks I've spoken to seem unhappy with Netflix having not been able to obtain the rights to the original ED song "Fl...

Say, Kaiba, was it true that someone forgetful in the Macross team left the tape (or film, script?) of an episode on a train? As far as I am aware, yes. Some unnamed soul left a mostly-complete master reel for one episode on a train, which necessitated a brief but frantic search of the local rail s...

Oh man. that lightened up my mood after a hectic week at work. is the robotech fanbase worse than RWBY?(the way i see them they treat RWBY as the source of ALL!!!! memes, pose and everything in between.) As I know a grand total of one RWBY fan and he doesn't do that, I don't think I could draw a co...
