treatment

could be a case of the engrish. "Nome" was spelled the same in japanese in both the official Frontier Sheryl character-page and Zero's dvd liner-page for Mao and Sara (see pic-attachment*). * - scanner's broke, so camera-snapshot of it only. ;

lol! i remember those Kurita/DraconisCombine-rankings in the back of my old BT-novels. at any rate, check this link out: http://www.uniforminsignia.net/index.php?p=state&id=150 the rankings are listed in the pre-J(g/m)SDF rankings, i.e. WW-II military-rankings. btw, Lucy clearly said "Tai-Sa" to Millard in the movie. Even Millard's office-sign states "Col. Millard Johnson".

well, it depends if they are using naval or army ranking or some combination in both the SMS and NUNS. iirc, "sho-sa" is Major in army-ranking and Lt.Commander in navy-ranking. "Tai-sho" is General in army-ranking and Admiral in navy-ranking.

I don't know about catalog-#'s for manga as I don't import them at all. You will have to rely on Graham or from our japan-based members for manga cat-#'s. As for CD's and/or DVD's, either BandaiVisual-Japan and MacrossF official websites, and/or CDJapan itself will list the catalog-#'s for audio and video merchandises.

I highly suggest using catalog-numbers when shopping thru AmJ. Macross Frontier OST = VTCL-60060 OP (Triangler) = VTCL-35024 ED (Don't Be Late) = VTCL-35025 fwiw, I suggest getting the audio-cd's from CDJapan rather than AmJ, as the audio-cd's ain't discounted at AmJ like the DVD's. http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=VTCL-60060 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=VTCL-35024 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=VTCL-35025

Still looks very fugly meh. can't help but contrast this new one with the original BlitzWing G1-toy that still r0x to this day! http://www.seibertron.com/toys/gallery.php...e=0&start=0

It just went available at both Amazon-Japan and CDJapan: http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF...3002&sr=1-1 http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=BCXA-62 as expected, 26% off for preorders at Amazon-Japan. Remember all, this is Blu-Ray disc and not DVD.

A Hikky-Strike re-issue will be just fantastic. I could use some GBP armor, too. Hope we actually get a domestic release here in the US via TRU or something, so i won't have to pay import and shipping fees.

you really gotta click on the link in boinger's post, dude. or else, as the great Inigo Montoya will say: I don't think it means what you think it means...

There weren't any other footage (Macross Frontier or whatever) besides the Flashback-2012 content. You only get an ad/flyer for Frontier. And before you ask, No. The Flashback-2012 content was not HD-remastered. It's the same content as the original dvd-release. The only new thing is the menu, I think.

fyi. official pix: TV box-art: http://product.bandaivisual.co.jp/web_serv...em_no=BCBA-3169 http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/images/...61958&s=dvd stuff: http://www.amazon.co.jp/gp/product/images/...s=dvd&img=1

got my order in for MP Starscream-Hasbro. it wasn't sold out, yet, so better hurry up.

I'm not clear on the "audio pop" that Keith is talking about. There were a couple or so of other background-vocals and sound-effects in addition to Misa and Hikaru jawing against each other in that particular scene.

yeah, dude. what's up with the pink feathers, mang?

cripes! I knew I forgot to post the first batch. &*!($&@# well, here they are: . Perfect Edition (original-released) dvd on the Left-side vs Remastered-Edition (latest released) dvd on the Right-side.

---- That's enough snapshot-comparo from me. Remember, Perfect Edition (original-released) dvd on the Left-side vs Remastered-Edition (latest released) dvd on the Right-side.

there seems to be a severe lack of gerwalk-lovin' in this thread, so here's one:

so... any consensus, yet, on whether the enemy in Frontier is finally the Supervision-Army or some Protoculture-biodroids/remnants?

fwiw, Max's 1S was blue-striped even in the original Perfect Edition dvd. Just that the lighting inside the battleship changed when Max went in deeper just before Milia ambushed him. At any rate, here's the Roy-scene: I think this is the Hikaru-scene you're talking about:

A couple more snaps for the night. Once again, left-side is the original Perfect Edition R2J and the right-side is the new Remastered-Edition R2J. You guys should be quite alot familiar with these as they are the infamous animation-scenes coloring-goof of the Max-1A turning half-Hikaru during his melee Ayup! They've finally fixed the coloring-goof in the remastered-version.

I just sampled the first few scenes, but already the video-remastering on this new version is just damn quite AMAZING!!! Very clean-er, more vivid and very clear-er. here's a teaser comparo-png (left-side is original R2J, right-side is the remastered-R2J) B))
