Cartoon lovers!

[tripeboi]

Ok for all you anime fans. I caught something last night on adult swim or cartoon net I dont recall.
It was a cartoon about space fighter pilots called marc-something or mark-something... It was not cowboy peepoop.

Anyone know what im talking about?

[Louie]

The only new one their playing that I am aware of is Code Geass which has been on a few weeks now. It's ok, haven't watched a whole lot of it though.

[tripeboi]

no that's not it. It was actually on Aime network. I don't know if it was a show or a one time movie.

Basically
It was a fighter jet in space that can turn into a robot. They flew to a planet and some hologram lady was brain washing every one with music. At one point they (the 2 pilots who were friends then enemies then friends) fought "the ghost" or shadow or something. It was something they made it sound like it was an awesome ship they were kinda afraid of. The hologram lady was piloting by computer/mind. One of the pilots also had some type of esp to communicate.

At one point this HUGE robot ship transformer thing rose up from the planet surface.

I only got part of the show but one of the characters was a girl that is in love with the pilot. The girl was held hostage by the hologram/computer lady.

I fell asleep and never got the rest. Hope that clears it up but i doubt it. i was nodding in and out trying to watch it.

[Louie]

lol...that sounded about like half the anime out there. Don't think I get that channel you were watching so I have no idea.

[euphoric]

lol cowboy peepoop.

why not look up the anime networks website? maybe they have a guide or something?

[tripeboi]

lol cowboy peepoop.

why not look up the anime networks website? maybe they have a guide or something?
I did they only show current shows. And it was not on the list of the normal programing so It leads me to believe it was a one time movie special showing or something.

I knew I should have wrote it down but i was half a sleep. What I did catch it was really good.


On a side note the anime network have Guyver listed on it, but no show times. I would LOVE them to show that!!!!



On a side side note. I wonder why catlipz/Cinnamonsticks and teetee (taishi) have not chimed in. Im sure they may know what im talking about.

[LitLaur]

if you're really bored and want to browse wikipedia to figure this out:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_broadcast_by_Anime_Network

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_programs_broadcast_by_Adult_Swim

I don't know which you're actually talking about, so there's both.

[rtificial]

There are so many robot animes that use the same basic story lines its hard to pin it down. When I read the description the first thing that popped in my head was robotech/macross.

[tripeboi]

:headbang:
macross.
YOU SIR ROCK MY SOCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[Jesse James]

Are you talking about Macross Plus? A movie?

[tripeboi]

Are you talking about Macross Plus? A movie?
I don't know if it was a movie or show but "Macross" was DEFFANTLY the name of it.

[rtificial]

It's probably the macross plus movie. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macross_Plus:_Movie_Edition

[Louie]

You know...the first thing I was thinking of was Robotech as well...I completely forgot about Macross. I really need to watch it again.

[Jesse James]

Yeah. It was most likely Macross Plus. Good flick for sure.

[tripeboi]

Ok im looking up info on Macross and I see some movies called Robotech Macross Saga.. Is this the same toon? Is Macross an off shoot of robotech?
Who? what? when? where? why?

[sw4e2e0t]

How could anyone put up a post about cartoons and then start talkin bout anime?? Highly disappointed over here. Anime stinks! LOL

[tripeboi]

Someone call and wake up catnAp so he can answer my question.

[tripeboi]

wakey wakey eggs and bakey......

[dr00]

trufax.

also, i was thinking macross plus, which is a movie, not a show, and older than me.




tripe, first *insert facepalm.gif*
second, robotech and macross are the same thing.

[tripeboi]

second, robotech and macross are the same thing.

LIES! You have been drinking 2 much 911 truth movement kooleoade!

How do you know and why are they 2 different names?

I wont believe it tell catnip confirms. With links names photos and video

[rtificial]

Ok im looking up info on Macross and I see some movies called Robotech Macross Saga.. Is this the same toon? Is Macross an off shoot of robotech?
Who? what? when? where? why?

Robotech is the US name for Macross. The original tv series was called Super Dimension Fortress Macross, which was shortened to SDF-1 Macross, then Macross. The Robotech Macross Saga is the long running tv anime that started back in 1982, on US TV no less!!! OMG anime on tv in 82! Now that I feel like an even greater old fart you should check out the tv series. The whole thing has a pretty nice story and is pretty epic and goes thru several generations. The whole thing is broken down into 3 different story arcs.

The Macross plus, Macross 7 are side stories, OAV's and movies based off the same univerese.

ADV films a few years back rereleased the whole Robotech saga on dvd with brand new film transfer that improved the originals, plus surround sound. It might be pretty cheap to get now and would be a great start to the whole macross world.

[dr00]

lolololol.


you really don't know?
this is like basic anime 101.

BACK TO SCHOOL FOR YOU!


but just to clarify, macross = movie, robotech = series
robotech was the name given to the series when it was brought over to NA and merged with two other anime. macross became the subtitle, but they're both still the same universe.

THE END.

[tripeboi]

lolololol.

Nope. I hung out witht he cool kids growing up.

[Jesse James]

LOLOL @ Anime 101.

Good stuff. I just started watching Lodoss War again for the first time in FOREVER. There's a lot to be said about old anime.

[rtificial]

Yea I miss the old hand drawn anime look. Everything is colored digitally and uses cg effects now day, which is cool and all. But I still like my old classics with their cheesy j-rock/metal soundtracks and crazy animation.

[Taishi]

*steps in* anime god is here how may i be of service?

[Taishi]

lolololol.

[Jesse James]

Yeah. What dr00 said is correct. However aren't the 3 different story arcs are really not related to eachother excpet they take place in the same universe, or am I mistaken?

Also Macross Plus is extremely badass. If anyone has a copy that they'd let me borrow? :evilgrin:

[tripeboi]

lolololol.

some of them overlap a bit. its more of a timeline thing

[dr00]

they're all completely different from the original, so it doesn't really matter.

like i said, same universe, implying not the same story :p
but... i've actually never seen them lmao.


i mean sure bits and pieces, i vaguely remember seeing the end of macross II, i saw a couple robotech episodes when it was on adult swim..... etc. etc.

[*TrIPsTar*]

I haven't been into anime in years, I remember seeing ghost in the shell, akira, vampire hunter d, and windaria. lol

I saw a few more, but they didn't really jump out at me.

[*TrIPsTar*]

P.s.

One of the main reasons I liked anime was the musical scores.

[Taishi]

P.s.

One of the main reasons I liked anime was the musical scores.dont forget the ridiculous openings and ending songs

[Fallosophy]

[Slyce]

Shoujo


The 3 robotech/macross arcs are labeled as the first, second and third Macross Wars. They pretty much go in timeline like said before. Instead of resetting the story and doing something new in the Universe ala Gundam/Final Fantasy, Macross keeps on building on its story. They'll reference old events, have offspring of older characters become new main characters as things keep progressing.

[NinjaLemur]

Macross it's kid of like alternate unversie for Robotech

[Taishi]

Macross it's kid of like alternate unversie for Robotechwrong wrong wrong:twak:

[Cynispin]

I didn't read the rest of the thread, but it's Macross

[dr00]

the smart one of the bunch :(

[Louie]

We have the first 12 episodes of Robotech on DVD here. Think I will try to get the rest at some point. Haven't watched it in forever. I remember watching it after school everyday a loooooong ass time ago.

[tripeboi]

So all you anime lovers. Is the Anime network showing Guyver, or is it just on thier shows for no reason. I can find an air time.

[rtificial]

I used to watch robotech when I was a weeeeee lil lad after school. Then later on I used to watch it before I'd head out to highschool in the mornings when it came on the scifi channel mornings. I think my favorite arc was the 3rd war. I always thought the ruined earth setting was cool and them motor bikes that would transform into a battle armour around the driver were the coolest thing. Now you people got me wanting to sit and watch the whole damn series.

I hardly watch anything anymore, but I'm trying to start back with ghost in the shell:SAC because I never got to finish it and I'm a sucker for anything by Shirow Masamune.

[Louie]

I think my favorite arc was the 3rd war. I always thought the ruined earth setting was cool and them motor bikes that would transform into a battle armour around the driver were the coolest thing.

Was that the arc where they had the alpha and beta veritech fighters that could join together?
