July 2019 Poll Suggestions+ Little Rant
🕑 Added 2019-07-07 15:27:20 +0000 UTCFirst off Happy Independence Day to every American! But this wont be an American themed poll, I'm gonna do something for that separately.
First off, let me express my dismay on the recent direction of western entertainment, there are a few but I don't go around Shouting my opinions. But this one definitely hit the nail for me, Harmony Gold extending their licence of Robotech the frankenstein like amalgamation of three old animes. I have no problem with Robotech itself but preventing any other Macross related product out of Japan is the worse F*CKING decision this company has ever made. One of my Favorite games, Super Robot Wars now have official English releases, and incidentally Macross was never in those recent games. And I would expect it never will in the future, so THANK YOU Harmony Gold. So I'll never see Minmay, Fire Bomber, Sheryle and Ranka, Lacus Clyne and Ange having a concert while a giant Getter decapitates a bunch of zakus.
Also keep using those outdated "robotech" designs in 2019 where a ton of new superior design of valkyries are out.
And with that out of the way, July also marks the 40th anniversary of Mobile suit Gundam and last July was a Gundam character too. Hoping that live action Gundam movie doesn't turn into a giant mess, there was a tease of its gunpla so whatever that model looks would tell a lot about the movie.
So therefore I conclude the theme for July is Gundam girls and Macross girls. Just offer your suggestions down in the comments.
Yack Deculture Harmony Gold!

Lacus Clyne from Gundam Seed ^-^ in her white purple Dress. If you know what i mean :3
Curious to see what the American-themed poll will be, but for now: GIANT ROBOTS!!! I've never watched any of the shows mentioned, but from what I've read in both your "little rant" (very accurate title!) and the other comments, I definitely agree: Harmony Gold has clearly done goofed (in lieu of a more swear-heavy response). The fact that the newest license extension doesn't have an expiration date is also...odd. Hopefully Macross gets its chance overseas, even though that's not likely to happen under the umbrella of corporate idiocy that's apparently Harmony Gold's business model. As for the live-action movie, at least Brian K. Vaughan is involved in writing it; he's created some great comic book stories, so that's one bit of good news. As for the damsel of choice, how about Amida Arca from IBO? I'm thinking you could mix your rant against Harmony Gold with her bondage scenario; perhaps she'd be duct taped to a commander's chair with a sign on her lap that reads LISTEN UP, LOSERS! with an arrow pointing upwards. She would be gagged with several strips of white duct tape that cover her entire lower face and jaw, in order to fit the words MACROSS DESERVES RESPECT! printed over it. Since Amida is from a different series, I guess you could call this a "Macrossover."
Kudelia from Gundam IBO. Or Kaname from Macross Delta

I've never met anyone else who watched Robotech/Macross! XD And I agree Harmony Gold fucked us on that. That being said I'd throw in my suggestion for Lisa Hayes from the original series.
Good idea for continuity DiD, along with the aforementioned rightful revenge. How about Alenby bound and gagged in public rather than in a locker (as happened with Raine) for extra embarassment? Maybe to a locker room bench, with a funny or teasing note attached to her?

Aina Sahalkn (Gundam: The 08th MS Team) - https://gundam.fandom.com/wiki/Aina_Sahalin This was probably the only Gundam anime I've watched, but it was enjoyable. Even if she doesn't win this poll, I would love to see a scenario where the poll winner's friends are questioning why her mech isn't moving or why she's not joining the fight. There would be a second panel that shows her bound and gagged to her seat inside her mech because an enemy broke in. Never watched Robotech or Macross, but it sounds like a bummer on how Macross is being treated.

I'll say Alenby from G Gundamn. Maybe Raine can get her revenge on her from the last picture.

we should stick with the theme for now. There might be more religious polls in the future.

That would be good

For the poll suggestion, Fire Force has just been released and the priest girl Iris would look perfect in ropes.

oof, I'm good with this, Macross and Gundam have way too many waifus slip under the radar lol. But yeah it sucks big time that Harmony Gold have to hog Macross outside Japan even if that's pretty much all they have to say relevant as a company. Without Macross they'd have gone bust in like the 80's easily. Dicks.

I don't know much about Gundam girls but I'd happily suggest the girls from another mecha show, like Full Metal Panic or Schwarezmarken.
