Macross Frontier Movies BD Boxset WITH ENGLISH SUBS!
jvmacross replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
This development sort of eliminates HG's stranglehold on Macross releases in the US. It was only a matter of time. I really hope Bandai is able to quantify just how much extra profit is generated by this change in policy regarding English subtiles for new Macross product. If HG had any business sense, they'd ease up on what must be ridiculous US/non-Japan licensing fees and still have exclusive rights for the Macross franchise outside of Japan. But now, if this MF release does well....Bandai won't need the HG middle man (did it ever?).....which I guess is still a win-win for non-Japan fans anyways, as long as Bandai continues adding English subtitles to future Macross releases. My advice for HG would be to reboot their entire Robotech franchise....unbind Macross from Southern Cross and Mospeada....and release everything on Bluray...starting with SDFM....then followed by M0, MPlus, M7, and MF..... If they could only stop being so stupid and greedy.......they are throwing money away (and that's just from the TV/movies!)....In the end, I guess I don't care where official English-subtitled Macross come from...but I am sure they would be a lot less expensive coming from some US distributor.....or local distributor from any given country -
Macross Frontier Movies BD Boxset WITH ENGLISH SUBS!
jvmacross replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
Will buy this... The 30th anniversary of DYRL is next year....wonder if a limited release of it with english subs is coming? SDFM TV??? To anyone who ever complained about the lack of English subs on Macross product......time to show why that decision has been like throwing extra sales/profits away... HG must be shaking in their boots! -
Macross Zero and Macross the First are just part of the grand scheme of bringing together the in-universe sound-fold science concepts.....It really all started with M7....then M0....and now MtF is introducing the concepts of fold science to "SDFM" that were introduced in MF.....we now have fold-enduced time-space anomalies in the world of Macross...and I believe this also plays out in the M30 game......and when you introduce "time travel" in sci-fi.....anything is possible I do not think there is any going back.....I think MF did a good job at handling these more "sci-fi" concepts.....so I hope the next series follows suit..... Maybe a new series where a group of evil fold scientists and greedy corporations want to manipulate history all the way back to the Protoculture Era.....thus introducing the Protoculture and in the course of the series, easily bring back anyone or anything they want for the sake of plot twists (like the Megaroad? kind of hinted already in MtF)......who knows.....

You know a thread is about to go critical mass when terms like "elitist", "hard core" and "fanatic" start creeping into a discussion.....
-
This guy is really good!
-
maybe they want to do a 1/60-ish scale instead?
-
nope. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=40095

It looks like the design of the box was complete...but then the photoshop guy came in and said..."no!!!...needs one of my photo-shopped pics inserted!!!"

1/55 Hi-Metal VE-1 Elintseeker 1/55 Hi-Metal VT-1 Super Ostrich 1/55 Hi-Metal VF-1S Strike Valkyrie (Hikaru and a new Roy) DYRL 30th Anniversary re-releases!!!
-
Although both are fancels....I thought the artist really did a great job at capturing the "look" of the character art-style for Sharon as seen in Macross Plus....
-
yep.....limitations probably due to the scale and/or design of the figurine/cockpit area....I'm sure some enterprising fellow (cough, cough...EXO) on this board could design a nicer proportioned set of 1/60 scale pilots in a slew of poses....and not just for both of the the VF-1 types
-
Guess they were trying to place the hands in a position relative to the flight controls of the DYRL VF-1 cockpit..... Which is different from the VF-1 cockpit from the TV series....which explains the TV version pilot figurine....
-
On the bright side, I guess you can never loose parts and know precisely where they are at at all times!
-
Really wish they would approach Arcadia again and instead release exclusive Macross accessories for the 1/60 line....flight deck crews and accessories, different pose pilot figures, exclusive PT valks, destroids, enemy craft....hangar pieces to complete a nice hangar for 1/60 valks......anything but what they currently seem to have in mind.....
-
Yes..."guns"...it's all detailed in the link provided.... 1 x OverTechnology Macross super-dimension-energy cannon with beam polarizing converging system (bow) 8 x OverTechnology guided converging beam cannons 4 x high speed 178 cm electro magnetic rail cannons

Nah...if it's something people want and the demand is strong enough....things come back...either via a re-issue...or in the case of Yamato/Arcadia....new versions that are superior to anything that ever existed before.....if 30 years from now you are still craving for a Yamato or Arcadia version 2.0....it'll be solely based on nostalgia...because by then a vastly superior, self-transforming version 5+ will already be on the market.... Just ask anyone who ever wanted a Takatoku VF-1 that could not afford it back in the 80/90's and thought it'd never be re-issued.......ever....
-
Arcadia's marketing guys are brilliant....they can satisfy the bright white purists now....and the "off white" fanatics down the road.... Just like Bandai!
-
the VF-17S is one of the few Yamato toys I actually have out on display....it looks brutish next to just about any other VF....
-
I'll stick to "pickle-like" for its description! but, yeah.....
-
Thanks, good to know I don't have to hunt down any more show/movie music. Will track down the M7 albums, even though I do have a couple Macross Plus CDs. Thanks again!

What I took from the VF-1J 30th Anniversario edition was the possibility and perhaps a fool's hope of future Hasegawa collaborations.......Black Aces....'nuff said.... Although "the fans" may not like it.....both the TV and DYRL Vf-1's are the same white...bright white...it is what it is.....love it or hate it....buy it or let it bake on the shelves..... Per Macross Mecha Manual: VF-1S TV: VF-1S DYRL: Mr. March puts a lot of effort into his site...I do not think he would get something basic like "base" coloring wrong.... Maybe Big West finally put their foot down on the deviation Yamato artificially created between the two series...who knows.... Instead of Arcadia "guessing" what VF's fans want....why not produce them based on fan's choice voting......and perhaps take non-refundable deposits up front to seal the deal.... Extras with each release would be appreciated....flight crews and accessories...sure...all welcomed...although we have plenty of talent on this board to make it almost a non-issue......we've all seen your fantastic custom ordered displays....but yeah, display sets, hangars,etc and accessories for the masses would be welcomed....they could even make them online exclusives like Yamato has done with other accessories in the past.... Yes, we are a picky bunch....but we are also loyal and will support quality products done right and with respect to the original source and their creators original interpretations...unless given the license to deviate, of course, as we have seen before.....
