Cripes...I don't even know where to begin here...

Long story short: Memo, Juan, I think you're both straining at the gnat and swallowing the camel whole.

And Memo, Towgrin is absolutely right...Minmay IS a "booth babe," more or less. When I said she got a small modeling gig, I meant that: a SMALL modeling gig. Just posing next to a jet for a few hours.

As for Misa presenting...

Panel 1
Misa: Why did they pick me to present the entertainment?

Misa: My duties don't include things like that.

Claudia: Well,

Don't you think you should loosen up a bit?

If I'm correct, Mikimoto didn't desing the Zentraedi, so, as an artist, he probably took some artistic freedoms on his own. I didn't really think that was such a big difference, but the suits themselves are different overall. As I've been reading the Macross Ace magazines, the story is gonna hae more changes, but still keep a lot of the original feel of the story. It keeps the drama, the action, and even all the comedic moments, and as a manga, it's adapting well from t.v. to book. If you have an opportunity to get a translation, or someone who could read it to you in english, you'll find it is a very good story. It's probably very difficult, if not impossible to judge a book based on pictures alone.

YEAH, FIGURED AS MUCH ABOUT THE ZENTRADI. LOOKS GOOD. JUST THAT THE ANTENAS COULD HAVE BEEN DONE WITHOUT. LOOKS TOO... MY FAVORITE MARTIAN T.V. SERIES.




HEY, THE BOOK AND CHANGE IS NOT BAD. JUST CALLING IT OUT. SOME IMAGES OF THE BOOK I DON'T LIKE. BUT DOES NOT DILUTE THE CORE STORY. I ENJOY IT.


AND LOBIZON.. THANKS FOR THE PIC!

Oh, I know. And I don't think it's whining, I just think it's nit-picking. Which is fine.

No, you misunderstand..."Don't you think you should loosen up a bit?" is what CLAUDIA says to MISA, not what I'm saying to you. After that, Misa glares at Claudia, and Claudia says, "See? That's EXACTLY what I'm talking about!"

But anyway, the dialogue in the first chapter of the book is about 80% the same as the show. All of Britai and Exsedol's dialogue is directly from the series.

Since we're "nit-picking" here.

I think that Lisa being on the podium with the mic and all has potential to set up the love/hate relationship between them.

Yet once again the major topic of discussion is Macross! Gotta love the Macross!

Exactly!!! Personally, I don't have a problem with Lisa/Misa doing the airshow since it is obviously setting up a back story between the two characters. Remember, this is a re-telling of Macross. Basically a reboot. There will be some discrepancies between the original story and this one.

I'm really digging the art (I like Mikimoto's style) and the additions have been pretty interesting so far.

Disclosure: I haven't *read* Macross the First, or even done much more than peeked at scans where I can find them without becoming a member of MW.

That said, I know already I won't ever like this manga. The use of DYRL design for the Zentreadi gets an automatic thumbs-down, and nothing else about Macross interests me enough to feel even a glimmer of affection towards this material.

It's not only about changing the Zentreadi characters' looks (though that is hardly a small quibble), but also their personalities: from the looks of things, Exsedol and Britai have the same poker-faced dullness that soured their DYRL versions.

The only thing that I would follow this manga for is to discover what they change from the TV series plot, specifically my favourite moments within it. You can change Exsedol and Britai without affecting much of the TV series plot, I suppose, but I *really* wonder what they'll do with the events analogous "Messenger", and more questions arise as other Zentraedi characters appear. I have my own speculations on what they'll do, visually, but they might surprise me.

(Personally, a dancing Sprout would be kind of awesome)

But you HAVEN'T seen Macross the First, have you? Well, except for the cover and one or two pics.

I thnik I made myselft very clear in my thinking, but I will say this again

I like my Macross, I love my Robotech I have no problem at all of women and the use of her sexiness, I love almost everthing of that comic, I hate that cover(or at least the animal doing minmat part) and the stuff about swiching Roy for Lisa(yeah I call her Lisa and not Misa, Misa- I go there every sunday and pray)
