  • while Shueisha may share the operator’s identity with its internal team in Japan to aid U.S.-based enforcement, it is legally barred from using that specific data to file infringement actions in foreign courts.

    Yeah, knowing a business (especially being Japanese which continually try to apply Japanese law to non-Japanese citizens living outside Japan), that is going to get outright ignored if that person isn’t living in the US. They will just see the personal data of where that person lives in the world and instantly file a lawsuit in that country “because they were suspicious of that country housing the site owner,” likely dropping the US case in the same moment.

    Hope the site owners don’t live in Japan. RIP if they do.



  • The only thing that could have happened really is the yoke could have become misaligned if the tape that holds it to the tube was not holding very well. The convergence rings have lockrings on them that usually wouldn’t be effected by a hit or drop, but if they were loose they could shift as well.

    The potential damage could range from slightly misaligned colors (convergence) to geometry warping (caused by yoke misalignment). To fix either of these you would likely need to open the TV to service it manually, which you should do anyways to adjust the focus potentiometer and the H/V Width potentiometers to reduce overscan. Only do this if you are comfortable with line voltage and have insulated electricians tools + gloves, as the TV must be plugged in and on top make adjustments. If you arent comfortable or cant be safe, you will just have to live with whatever you cannot fix with the service manual alone.

    Most likely, nothing really changed. Unless it was hard enough to crack the plastic shell, it probably didnt do much of anything to the internals, unless it had a built in VJS or DVD player, as those can be more sensitive to kinetic shock.





  • Its size in the show fluctuates. The city of Macross (including the large arena for the Miss Macross pageant) fitting in one leg doesn’t really fit with the size of the SDF-1 while it was on the actual island in episode 1, being only a few city blocks.

    The Zentraedi ships also fluctuate in size. The SDF-1 is only considered a medium sized vessel, and some Zentraedi vessels are shown to be larger. Consider also the size of Zentraedi on board the SDF-1 compared to the size of humans on board the Zentraedi vessels. Essentially, they are as big or small as the plot dictated at that moment.

    Than also consider that the SDF-1 was massively upsized from its tv show size in Macross: Do You Remember Love?.
