  1. Are the English subtitles from the company a number of people from the SpeakerPodcast work for on the Blu-Rays not good enough?
  2. How about you buy it like a normal person on Amazon. To the original poster and anyone still not in the know, you're only getting this on some place like Crackle and Sony's plans will be a Robotech movie. And in the same vain as the shady reputation Toynami and Palladium Books has gotten over the years, only Harmony Gold would sell their souls to a studio that was not only allegedly hacked/intimidated by North Korea, but is currently almost one billion dollars in the red. Sony Film Unit Posts $920 Million Quarterly Loss
  3. Not Sony Pictures reselling the rights, but Sony Corp. selling off the entire Sony Pictures division.
  4. Sony Film Unit Posts $920 Million Quarterly Loss At least they're not planning on selling the whole thing... yet.
  5. They should build on the mystery behind Lady M and her possible franchise spanning influence Berger speculated about.
  6. Macross Delta Plus: The Bergering

  8. The next chapter being released in a couple of days should be the fallout from the dimensional bomb exploding. Really hope there is a twist coming besides making it very clear that Wright did it and Keith going off the deep end afterwards. If anything, what causes Roid's personality to change to how he is in the show would be interesting. So far he hasn't had much motivation beyond obsessing about the Protoculture ruins and Windermere superiority. There was that aide to the king who looked like an older version of him near the end of one chapter. Maybe his father?
  9. From Orguss.
  10. I choose not to fall for that trap with Clamp poser characters.
  11. Currently up to date with Keith's manga, though it doesn't really change my opinion on the Aerial Knights or Windermere. The cause of the revolution, for the king at least, can be summed up as pretty much "Make Windermere great again," and "They took our jerbs!" due to their relationship with the NUNS (the fold quartz). All of the Knights except for Qasim come from noble rich families and spent most of the revolution training at the knight school. Qasim is probably the only one with a legitimate reason to fight before the revolution started with a botched NUNS training mission that destroyed much of his town's apple harvest. He eventually joined the Knights due to attrition. Bogue might as well be the weakest link out of the group thanks to the manga. He pretty much only got to join the Knights due to his family connections and not his piloting skills, especially when it's revealed that they may have been financial backers for the whole organization. Unfortunately, that is also probably the reason they were targeted during the revolution. Most of his family didn't die from the dimensional bomb. Yes, its whole purpose is to give both some background and development for a lot of flat characters from the show, but as of right now it is also the only POV we have of the major conflict bringing the plot of the whole show together. In terms of scope, not really interested in seeing Keith longingly gaze into Roid's eyes in a heterosexual way all the time when there are more important things happening in this world. The most interesting thing to me from the manga has nothing to do with Keith or the Knights, and it pretty much sums up my frustration with the manga. In one of the recent chapters Wright Immelman appears in in a random encounter of Keith pretty much in a Chaos style infiltration mission with fake runes. And so far nothing else comes of it.
  12. It's good to know that Gubaba is still cool with people from the forums even if he isn't active here anymore. I agree with everyone from the episode. I want more Delta.
  13. Would have been better than the Frozen Sing-Along Celebration last week. That was a total cop out.
  14. Walkure Trap album certified as Gold Disc Delta still in top 10 series in December's issue of Newtype

  16. The real answer to this poll is that tearjerker pic of Seymour from Futurama. Wishful thinking regarding these folks hasn't payed off since the AnimEigo DVD set.
  17. A Japanese blu-ray set was already released and there are members of this forum who helped officially translate the Fronter movies to English and now doing the same work on the Delta blu-rays. In a couple of years we might not need Sony or HG's token efforts.
  18. So yeah, Delta had the standard Macross ending. As I said in other threads, I have a hard time believing that there's just a movie, continuation or compilation, with so many lingering threads unresolved. Have the feeling we're going to have to wait until the end of the second airing of the series to find out the future for the series. Last Sunday was episode 18 again, so that would make it Christmas Day. One thing this episode answered? Berger's theory that music is a weapon only applies to Windermere through Heinz. Unfortunately, he, as the weapon, only figured that out after forcing someone else into the role his entire kingdom, or just Roid, was prodding him into for entire series and finally witnessing the effects. I have a hard time sympathizing with him since it appears he had a cloistered life up to now, maybe due to being treated as both royalty and a weapon. I don't know, does he have the mentality of a human 8 year old despite his short lifespan? Remember, his brother was a pilot or pilot in training and became a closet sociopath around his age. Then again, weapon. All things considered, Ishtar learned quicker.
  19. I think you're about 25 to 30 years past the point where the involved companies would have any respect for the show and real creators to care.
  20. A combination of running out of ideas for products to sell and desperation to make money for a stagnant trademark. Per Toynami and Palladium, don't be an enabler. Is that thing supposed to be "cute?"
  21. Cheer up, microns. The intended audience liked Delta. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2016-10-09/shinkai-your-name-kabaneri-win-top-newtype-anime-awards/.107437 Like I said a while back, it's karma for what happened with My Little Pony.
  22. Has anyone from the podcast been keeping up with the Delta radio show? There's been two episodes since the end of the series now.
  23. That's weird, Delta is over but for some reason the radio show is still going on with another one scheduled for 10/8. http://macross.jp/delta/radio/
  24. Hopefully someone reads this before the review episode or caught on about this over the course of the show. For all of the flak Delta gets for not being gritty and the like, it did bring us what is probably the most tragic character in the franchise by far with Wright Immelman. He ended up being a good person put into a position where he lost regardless of his actions. And although Chaos found out the circumstances of his actions, or at least more than what the public knew, it is ultimately trivial in the grand scheme of things. At most, Hayate was able to find some closure knowing more about his father and how he died. However, he will still be vilified by both NUNS and Windermere for the revolution and probably this war. As for Hayate, all of this puts a darker spin on the comparisons made between him and Mirage. Not only are they polar opposites personality-wise, but also in family reputation (granddaughter of war heroes to the son of an accused war criminal). It doesn’t help that both Windermere and NUNS now know of his existence. Probably a bigger upset at this point would be if, based on how little his father talked about his job and the gifts he sent, Wright towards the end of his life did not want his son to follow in his footsteps. Ironic considering all of the dog fighting and infiltration missions Hayate has been doing since joining Chaos.
