Noriko Takaya Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Saw this on ANN today. Not-So-Daily Link of the Day: The official website for the Macross Frontier anime series has announced that a "Super Dimension Launch Ceremony" event will be held in Tokyo's Akihabara otaku shopping district next February. February is the precise month when the events of the very first episode of the first Macross science-fiction romance series supposedly takes place. Specifically, in February 2009 of the Macross timeline, mankind launches the alien spaceship that crashed on Earth ten years earlier — only to be attacked by another alien enemy on the same day. The real-life event will be called "Macross: The Super Dimension Space Launching Ceremony ~It's Really 2009 Already…It's 2/22 (Nyan Nyan Nyan), Deculture!~." ("Nyan Nyan" is a popular catchphrase with multiple meanings in the Macross storyline, while "Deculture" is a mild expletive in an alien language in Macross.) The event planners are inviting guests from the different Macross series for the event. Link: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-...eld-in-february Quote
miriya Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 That would be a great field trip. Who wants to meet up there? I know that I do but I also know that I can not afford it. Maybe I will waste some $$ on lottery tickets to see if the macross gods are smiling upon me! Quote
Jasonc Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 Damn, whoever gets to go to this, please cover it with lots of pics. I don't get a two week vacation till after march. On a side note, why don't we do somthing here in the states??? Now, that would be something. Quote
Morpheus Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I'm going to South Ataria island instead and try to board the secretly rebuild SDF-1, at least I will be safe when the Zentraedi arrive. Quote
Gubaba Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I'm going to South Ataria island instead and try to board the secretly rebuild SDF-1, at least I will be safe when the Zentraedi arrive. I've been living on Mars Base Salla for the last couple of years...so I should be COMPLETELY safe from whatever's about to hit earth. Quote
RedWolf Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I've been living on Mars Base Salla for the last couple of years...so I should be COMPLETELY safe from whatever's about to hit earth. You do realize that Misa will blow it up. Right? Quote
MjrMisaHayase Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I'll be rooming with Misa, Claudia, and the bridge bunnies on the Macross. Quote
Bri Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 What caught my eye even more is the announcement that Haruhiko Mikimoto will do a manga for Macross Ace featuring Minmay. I must have missed that earlier but damn that's good news Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted December 28, 2008 Posted December 28, 2008 I wish I could go... Damn it all! You know what? I'm gonna put together a party for Dallasites on that day! We'll have a party in a place that's actually got room for a 3/4-mile long ship to crash! Besides, the Lockheed plant's not too far away, and Northrom's been subcontracting, again, so there's plenty of near-finished VF-1s waiting to be sent to Alaska. Quote
Hikuro Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 Maaaaan brings back memories of a website I'd go to where they had a counter for the Macross crashing on the island that was back in 1997 with a big ol counter with the year, month, day until it crashed I'm sure once the counter reached zero the site was gone. Now I shall count the days until our first interstellar war! Quote
Mr March Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 LOL I wonder if they are going to have a big SDF-1 balloon in a street parade Quote
UN Spacy Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 I'll cosplay as buff Ranka from episode 19. Quote
MisaForever Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 ZOMG!!!!!! That would be an awesome vacation. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted December 29, 2008 Posted December 29, 2008 ZOMG!!!!!! That would be an awesome vacation. Yup, and whoever is there will be hearing Mari Ijima, Megumi Nakajima, May'n, Gabriela Robin (*Cough*Yoko Kanno*cough*), Yoshiki Fukuyama, Maaya Sakamoto, and, most importantly, Makoto Fujiwara, played loudly over loudspeakers all day... I do that every day, except with the speakers on the front of my monitor... Quote
taksraven Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 (edited) Gabriela Robin (*Cough*Yoko Kanno*cough*), What are your talking about? Do you mean its like its funny how when Batman is around Bruce Wayne never is? :lol: BTW, I am hanging out in my little spacepod just near Pluto's orbit waiting for the anniversary. Should be quiet here. Taksraven Edited December 30, 2008 by taksraven Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 I'm sitting on a small asteroid that will be confused with a chunk of ground on South Ataria Island and searched by UNSpacy marines and they'll bring me to the Macross, and I'll be all set. Quote
vanpang Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Great news indeed ! I think I make a trip to South Atria Island to witness this historical event ! Quote
taksraven Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 We should also have a party in 2059 as well. I will be in my 80's. Taksraven Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 We're all party people, yes? Let's have a huge party on March 9, 2059! (Why March 9? I dunno. Why does the wind blow?) Quote
Gubaba Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 And let's all have a big party someplace far, far away from Macross City in February 2040... Quote
Morpheus Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 And let's all have a big party someplace far, far away from Macross City in February 2040... Like...Eden? Quote
Gubaba Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Like...Eden? Sounds good. We can all get together at the Sharon Apple concert there, and miss all the drama on earth. Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 Sounds good. We can all get together at the Sharon Apple concert there, and miss all the drama on earth. "Then, we feel the Info High!" Quote
RedWolf Posted December 30, 2008 Posted December 30, 2008 And let's all have a big party someplace far, far away from Macross City in February 2040... SDFN-01 Global where Ranshe and Grace were still young making first contact with the Vajra. Quote
Gubaba Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Anyone wanna give me a cool birthday gift? Careful...it might be booby trapped... Quote
SchizophrenicMC Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 Anyone wanna give me a cool birthday gift? Um, I got an extra ticket to the Sharon Apple Concert in 31 years... Quote
theplasticwerks Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 I hope they hold some kind of Flashback 2012 event. It'd be a nice prelude to the 30th anniversary Quote
Kronnang Dunn Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) How are you going to celebrate it ppl? I'm planning on having a Macross Party/Marathon with some friends... Mac Zero, Mac DYRL, some 7 and Frontier.... Edited February 6, 2009 by Kronnang Dunn Quote
MacrossCN Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) How are you going to celebrate it ppl? I'm planning on having a Macross Party/Marathon with some friends... Mac Zero, Mac DYRL, some 7 and Frontier.... Feb.7, 2009??? I think it is Feb.22. Because this Macross's space launching ceremony. Maybe SK will modify the history.

kensei Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 Nice Pics. I've forgotten when it was supposed to be launched. Somebody get your dates right! Quote
Zinjo Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Nice Pics. I've forgotten when it was supposed to be launched. Somebody get your dates right! February 7, 2009. That poster is likely an ad for a similar event later on. There will be two of them in different locations. I believe the first (this Saturday is in Akihabara). Edited February 6, 2009 by Zinjo Quote
Mercurial Morpheus Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) It is indeed this Saturday. They're having an event on 2/22 to play up Frontier (Nyan/Nyan Nyan). Though apparently it was originally 7/07/09, or sometime in October. I'm likely headed to SF and plan on watching the first four episode "as they happen". Anyone else plan on watching the show over the next two years on the dates of the episodes? Just a reminder, to those of you unable to make it to South Alteria Island by tomorrow, as of February 11th, you have exactly one year to make it to one of the Grand Cannons. Forget 2012, Armageddon comes Feb. 11th, 2010 FROM SPACE!!! Edited February 6, 2009 by Mercurial Morpheus Quote
Kronnang Dunn Posted February 6, 2009 Posted February 6, 2009 (edited) Nice Pics. I've forgotten when it was supposed to be launched. Somebody get your dates right! The first offical date was on July 2009, but it was changed to October 2009 a little afterwards. The very last date was February 7 2009, but since the Japanese SDF-1 launching event is on February 22 we may very well have yet another change in the official launching date from Kawamori (Dammit Soji!!! Make up your mind!!!!)... Edited February 6, 2009 by Kronnang Dunn Quote
