FYI, Macross Zero will be released in a Blu-ray set, no subtitles. Includes: Macross Zero Zero and audi commentary Release date: August 22nd. SRP: 21,000 Yen

And speaking of Zero... ever wondered why it wasn't re-released along with the rest of the Remastered series? Here's the answer: MACROSS ZERO Blu-ray BOX SET http://product.bandaivisual.co.jp/web_serv...em_no=BCXA-0062 To be released on August 22nd... no mention of subtitles though

Thank you!! Now if we could only have some release dates...

It's a newsletter in Japanese you can subscribe to. Nothing too trascendental most of the time, just some news like "the weathered edition VF-1S is limited to Japan" and stuff like that. The only important things I've found out via this newsletter are the Macross toy story pages that Yamato made some moths ago, but that's it. edit: sp

According to the link that kresphy posted, and the info on CD Japan, the first DVD / Blu-ray will ONLY include episode 1 of the series in both versions... And in Amazon Japan you can already pre-order volume 2... but not volume 1

more news from ANN: Bandai Visual of Japan has announced (PDF format) that it will release the ongoing Macross Frontier robot anime television series on both DVD and Blu-ray Disc starting on July 25. It also confirmed that the Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2 sequel series will also be released on both formats starting on August 22. The first volume of Macross Frontier on Blu-ray and DVD will contain the first episode in two versions: the preview "Deculture Edition" that aired last December, and a new complete "Yakku Deculture Edition" that will run 32 minutes. The initial pressings will also contain goods that celebrate the 50th anniversary of the fictional Nyan-Nyan Chinese restaurant chain. All pressings will come with 16 pages of liner notes and an audio commentary. The Blu-ray version will have a Linear PCM stereo soundtrack and 16:9-aspect, 1080p-resolution video. The eight remaining volumes will be released monthly starting in September. Macross Frontier marks the 25th anniversary of this science-fiction romance classic. So, it's just as Graham said... a new complete "Yakku Deculture Version"!

I AM I AM

Of course, 3 episodes per disk = 26. Wow, those are going to be some expensive disks

Yep, thought so too! But.. if we deduct the time of both versions of episode 1 from the total running time of 82 mins, we're left with 23 mins. That might mean that the first DVD only includes 2 episodes... who knows what the rate of episodes per disk will be for the 8 volumes that follow. I really hope the Yakku Deculture Edition is as you mention!

according to this document: http://www.bandaivisual.co.jp/pdf/2008/pr080410.pdf Macross Frontier will be released in both DVD AND Blu-ray on July 25th. Price: 5040 yen (Blu-ray), 3990 yen (DVD) Running time: 82 mins Audio: Blu-ray = linear PCM (stereo), DVD = Dolby Digital (stereo) both include lineart and both versions of Episode 1 AND... an audio commentary volume 2 will be released in September, for a total of 9. Future Blu-ray discs will cost 7350 yen, DVDs 6300 yen edit: regarding the first episode, the DVDs include the "Deculture Edition" that runs for 27 mins (the one aired in Dec) and the "Yakku Deculture Edition" (full version) that runs for 32 mins... so that means there's a THIRD version?

Muchas gracias por los scans!

Apparently that's the pre-order deadline. Still, it looks like it'll be released sooner than expected. Maybe they moved the date to release it before the re-re-release of Bandai's VF-1S??

the new issue of Newtype will be released tomorrow... and so far no news from the guys that kindly get the scans before the mag is released

And let's see which plattform they choose...

This image reminds me a LOT of M Zero...

One of the sponsors (for the first episode at least) is Bandai Namco Games (in addition to Bandai Visual, for obvious reasons)... if they do have a game planned, I hope it's something decent

To all the seeders: THANK YOU very much... 5 hours to go BTW, the official Macross F website has been updated in the "story list" part, apparently it will be updated every time an episode airs.

PLEASE seed it when you're done

Lucky you, us on the other side of the world have to wait 7 hours minimum Vegas Valkyrie: I'm pretty sure it's the raw

right, looks pixelated and it is out of synch

Works for me, although it looks awful I don;t think we'll see any fansubs now... maybe in a week's time Where's the seed???

Thanks kresphy!

Couldn't agree more... let the merchandising onslaught begin!

hahahaha, good one !

Strumvogel: can you remember what's the Macross F opening like? I'm wondering if it'll be attached to episode 1 or it will just start with ep. 2 Mr March: you're welcome!
