    The SFX were different. For some reason or another, either HG lost their seperate dialogue/SFX tracks, or perhaps they were only given an SFX track, and a Japanese dialogue+SFX track initially. As the story went 12 years ago, the audio mix that HG had of the oriignal Macross was in pretty bad shape, so AnimEigo contacted Japan and negotiated better quality masters (which they remiastered themselves). They wanted to do the same for the video, but HG insisted that they remaster from "their" copies, which as time has told us was so that they would have a copy of the video on hand. So what happened to those audio tracks from Japan? They went back to Japan, and HG wasn't able to touch them once the licnese with AnimEigo was up. When HG didn't renew the license with AnimEigo, it was so they could give it to ADV. ADV's "robotech remastered" and own Macross release were both made from that video, though strangely their releases were interlaced instead of progressive (like the AnimEigo release). Worse yet, even though they couldn't get a hold of AnimEigo's remastered audio, they did nothing to attempt to clean up HG's audio tapes for Macross (luckily they did clean up the SC & Mospeada audio), and released a very degraded/scratchy soundtrack along with the interlaced video. It's because of that lack/inability to remaster or seperate the SFX tracks from HG's held master, that the "legacy" set had all new SFX used. The same new SFX were used for ADV's Macross dub. Come to think of it, that dub had the original music, so it had to be laziness on ADV & HG's part in remastering the SFX track. The funniest part? If I recall correctly, AnimEigo included a seperate audio track on their DVD's with the music on one channel, and the SFX on another. So maybe what ADV/HG lacked was a seperate dialogue track for Macross. Who knows.

    This is the box art for the upcoming bluray set. While I want to pass due to the lack of subtitles, I just can't seem to make myself cancel the order. Diebuster is also getting a similar release in August, though since that one also won't have subtitles, I can't quite justify the import cost on it. Unlike Gunbuster, Diebusters U.S. DVD release didn't have gimped audio. Hopefully my willpower will be able to hold out on it.

    Wouldn't it have been cheaper to just download final fight HD on PSN?

    Oh, Pokemon & Power Rangers too. OMFG Pokemon & Power Rangers were merch power houses that caused a huge licensing scramble for anything Japanese that could have the same impact.

    Not to mention anime that was broadcast after it that was infinately more popular. I'm looking at you DBZ! Even Sailor Moon was a heap more popular than Robotech. The fact that Voltron has an active fanbase-ish right now also proves its much more popular.

    Wait a minute, he has a sister and hasn't prominantly cast her as Minmay or something in Robotech? Shock and awe!

    Except that you acknowledge that you'd seen Gatchaman first

    Looks too cropped, not sure I'd be up for that release.

    It makes perfect sense to me. Yune & co actually "hate" the robotech fanbase, and they're doing all they can to make sure that lthey don't procreate. You can be damn sure any female in the vicinity of a man owning such a CD would defend her eggs from ever coming into contact with his seed.

    All we need now is Macross the First, and we're set for the year.

    Now that's not fair. Maybe they keep scartching their DVD's or getting cheeto dust on them, and have to keep replacing them. Or maybe they lend sets out to co-workers who never bother to watch them, and say they accidentally lost them so they'll stop bugging them about it.

    Acguy is already in dude.

    HG claims they won't interfere with Manga releasing Plus & II, and yet Manga has been handling the online distribution of Robotech, or at least was before Netflix, Youtube, & Hulu. Coincidence?

    If you watched the Media Blasters release of Tekkaman Blade, it has all of the bonus material released with the series, including this:

    I'm used to seeiing it here, I just didn't expect to see it so frequently with Japanese gamers for some reason

    It's justa too bad she got bone-itis.

    I wouldn't worry about that, this is the studio that brought us Bayonetta

    One of us seriously needs to win the lottery, then buy the contract out from Tatsunoko

    Similar feel, but yeah, it definately kicks things up past 11.

    I've still got a couple crazy hard trial missions to clear, and I'm about 56 out of 120 something wins online. Funny thing though, what I initially thought was a random host disconnect I'm starting to think is a surprising number of Japanese players that can't handle losing...

    I still hate that costume.

    Except that HG's stance seems to be zero advertising & info = SUCCESS!!

    Just finished the New Utena sets. Definately enjoyable, though I probably would have liked the series even more if I hadn't seen Princess Tutu first. As for the movie, all I can say is "wow."

    Make no mistake, analog media, like old composit cable NES systems & such will look like crap no matter what you do. One dilemma I've come across is that the PS1 port of DYRL will not output through component on my modded PS2, it 'll only go out through composit. This makes the game look "extra" sh!tty. Unfortunately, Sony region locked PS1 games in the PS3, so it'll be a while before I know what this game looks like upscaled. These things don't look like crap because of HD, they look like crap because SD hid the low resolution of it. One of the first things I did was replace every matted widescreen non-anamorphic DVD I had with an anamorphic DVD or bluray counterpart. Regardless, the best results I've had are to turn off most upscaling features, and if your HD TV has a game mode, make damn sure that's turned on. All the smoothing/etc features that are standard left on cause miliseconds of dispaly lag that will get you killed in any online game.
