Up for pre-order on amiami: https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=MED-DVD2-57127&srsltid=AfmBOop7JvnQV8V72dDEvHR_9Iq02494-dip3-tteW3FJTfpKeoVKvO1 It looks to be the same offering from Amazon.co.jp, CDJapan, etc. Regarding the loss of detail...couldn't this be attributed to YT compressing the video, and the 4K comparison itself being downcaled to 1080p? Edit: Play-Asia: https://www.play-asia.com/macross-do-you-remember-love-4k-remastered-set-4k-ultra-hd-blu-/13/70hm1n?srsltid=AfmBOoqXTHcgFV3__UjN0lAcLSfbr2SvNRtYM_Cmf2L8En3EgsNMcUpf

I was unaware of the discord over those movies in 4K, to be honest. I wonder though if those same critics were watching said movies on a properly calibrated UHD display, with all picture setting modes (HDR, DV...Filmmaker Mode) properly calibrated for all inputs...and or if they weren't "coloring" the pictures themselves using a 'vivid' mode or using such "features" as Dynamic Contrast, Dynamic Color, and or Dynamic Tone Mapping (DV being the exception). On a side note, I've seen the Aliens 4K movie (bought a physical copy) and I didn't notice any issues or problems - the film looked great to me. I also loved the Blu-rays of SDFM and DYRL?. While the animation of SDFM hasn't aged well...the show looks absolutely gorgeous in my eyes - they did a phenomenal job with it, in my opinion. The only disappointments I have ever had with any Macross Blu-ray I've bought is the censoring in DYRL? and the English subtitles in Macross Plus; I'm glad they re-released DYRL? uncensored. I'm still hopeful and confident they'll get it right with this 4K release.

For me, it's more important that I have a physical copy of the movie in 4K, regardless of the quality of the subs. I can't imagine Kawamori and co. goofing the transfer of this release. I can't imagine there will be another release of DYRL? in 4K after this for that matter. Edit: I'm still trying to figure out how to get a copy of the first press limited edition.

Think it is safe to say the film will have HDR? I don't know how many of you have seen The Transformers: The Movie (1986) in 4K w/HDR...but I think it looks incredible. If they can do for Macross: DYRL? what they did for TF:TM, I can't wait! Edit: I'm generalizing by saying "they" before anyone asks....

Thank you! I was looking at the wrong place for pricing differences. Also, thank you for confirming that Amazon.co.jp ships to the US! Edit: Pre-ordered as well! So stoked! Can't wait!

I'm also seeing this link float around the web...I'm not sure what the differences are between the first link for Amazon in this thread and this : https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0DDSPHF8D

C They did re-release it with those scenes unedited. Hopefully that's what we'll get with the 4k release!

Sorry, I can't recall, but does Amazon.co.jp ship movies to the US?

I'll be moving to Vegas in about 5 months....

Late to the party once again. I couldn't get into Delta and never finished it. I don't even remember where I left off at in the show. Here's hoping for something better with the new TV series.

Hopefully this still applies to Delta and we get something completely new and different. It was several months ago that Delta aired. Fans have had 128 days (and counting) to reminiscence...3000+ long hours of nostalgia for the show...it's time to move on and move forward.

Does anyone know if the limited edition includes the extra tracks on the cartridge itself, or will the extra tracks need to be downloaded via DLC? Thanks in advance.

Even though I already have the original box set, and with all of the HG/legal issues aside, I most definitely would buy it on Blu-ray again if it came with subtitles. In fact, I am hoping for a 4K/HDR remaster to eventually come. One can dream....

I didn't see this posted anywhere in this thread so I thought I would.... The link below contains the full list of songs that are (supposedly) included in both editions. http://thevitalounge.net/2016/08/25/new-macross-delta-scramble-trailer-full-song-list/ For those that don't want to bother clicking on the link, I've quoted the article down below. Edit: The only songs I have any interest in from the Limited Edition are Dog Fighter (The Super Dimension Fortress Macross) Watashi no Kare ha Pilot (The Super Dimension Fortress Macross) 0-G Love (The Super Dimension Fortress Macross) Macross (The Super Dimension Fortress Macross) Shao Pai Long (The Super Dimension Fortress Macross) Tenshi no Enogu (Macross: Do You Remember Love?) Information High (Macross Plus) As someone else suggested...I dunno if 30 additional tracks are worth the extra money...especially when they aren't the full tracks. Then again...it would be pretty sweet to play this game on the go with "Dog Fighter" playing in the background.

The link is dead. Is there any chance to get these uploaded once more? Thanks.

So...I know I'm a little late to the party and I'm sorry but...did I just watch the pilot/first episode (.89 teaser...whatever you want to call it) for Mahō Shōjo Makurosu Deruta? Don't get me wrong; I really, really, really like Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magika - it's a great anime. I even found Sailor Moon to be entertaining when it was on Toonami. But if this is a sign of things to come for Macross.... I was hoping for Chōjikū Yōsai Makurosu, not Mahō Shōjo Makurosu. I'm with Roy Focker, Duke Togo, and others. This just seems like the wrong direction to take Macross if this is where they are taking things. I seriously hope we see less magical girls-esque type stuff and that the show leans more towards it's roots...you know...more akin to SDFM and DYRL?. Edit: As it is "Macross"...I'll watch a few episodes to give it a chance...and maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. I seriously have my doubts though. Edit #2: Yes...I have read that they're trying for a mix of Plus and 7...and I hope they lean heavily towards Plus. Edits galore...

I remember having trouble, in the past, trying to find some Macross merchandise for one reason or another. I still struggle mightly with Hiragana, Kanji, and Katakana...which makes trying to Google this stuff even harder. I imagine I am not alone in this, so I just thought I would help save others some trouble in trying to find other options to pre-order this. If I find any other websites I will update this post, unless 'treatment' decides to update his original post. I am going to include the two links 'treatment' already gave in the original post. Amazon.co.jp 'Standard' - ￥3,996 - I am assuming this is the 'standard' edition; please correct me if I am wrong. Amazon.co.jp 'Exclusive/Limited Edition' - ￥5,400 - I am assuming this is the 'exclusive/limited' edition; please correct me if I am wrong. AmiAmi - ￥4,320 CDJapan - ￥5,000 YesAsia - ￥5195.66 I haven't been able to find a pre-order link for Tsutaya or Animate. I am assuming AmiAmi, CDJapan, and YesAsia are all getting the 'standard' edition. To quote Renato http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=30860&page=49#entry1225647 : Edit: I do not know if this is the actual website for 'Animate', but I believe that is the pre-order link. Outside of something like Google Translate, I do not know if there is an English translation for the page or if they will even ship outside of Japan.... The 'US' website does not have a pre-order link, but here's the address to the main site: https://en.animate-onlineshop.jp/

If it is only 8 years after Macross Frontier then my guess is that there are going to be some strong tie-ins with Frontier. If it truly is "Macross Delta" then, by going off the name, I bet we probably will see some (possibly somewhat big) changes. Here's hoping the show will be more 'space opera'-ish and less of a music video. Playing devil's advocate...let's assume it is "Macross Delta" (delta as in change) and we enter through the "scary door" where everything is vastly changed. Kawamori revisists the events of SDF-M where it now takes place in 2067. Both Britai and Exsedol are miclones where Britai is the captain of the SDF-1 and Exsedol is the idol aboard the SDF-1. Lynn Minmay is supreme commander of the Minmay Main Fleet.....

You all make a lot of good points. It's said that the only constant in life is change and I agree that without change things can go stale. By that same token, I would argue that people naturally resist change as they are more comfortable with what they are familiar with - no one likes to be uncomfortable. My fondest memory of Macross is obviously SDFM as I grew up on it and it's what got me hooked. I know that's not the case for everyone else. My love of Macross seems to be one of the few constants in my life...if that makes any sense. I'm sure the same goes for everyone else here when I say this...I just don't want to be left feeling disappointed and alienated.

I like the idea of a prequel taking place before the events on Earth happened. Aside from or including the Protodeviln, Supervision Army, and Vajra, it would be nice to see all of the threats the Protoculture might have been facing back then and to see the Zentradi come into being. Well, I'm considering anything past SDFM and DYRL? as "new." I don't think I would be too far off in saying Macross 7 brought in a ton of new fans....

Yeah but when the original band members are no longer apart of the group it makes going to see them in concert a little less special, wouldn't you agree? They wouldn't sound quite the same as you remembered when they were all together (either in concert or on new albums). For example...while I'm not a huge fan of Limp Bizkit by any means, but when Wes Borland left the group and Mike Smith joined them they sounded like a different band. While I wasn't a huge fan to begin with, I stopped listening all together with Borland's depature. I don't claim or pretend to speak for everyone, but I find it hard to believe I would be alone in this matter with regards to no longer being able to relate, feeling alienated and the likes. I suppose you're right though in that the old fans don't matter as much when they have ten times as many new ones to replace them with.... That said, I still would like to think that we matter very much to Kawamori and co.... Edit: Edited to try and convey my thoughts better.

If by old you mean the animation is dated, then yes I would completely agree with that. If you tried watching the show before it came out on Blu-ray then I highly recommend you try to give it another go. The series looks absolutely amazing in HD and the story alone is worth watching. I wouldn't go that far as to claim that. Take Shingeki no Kyojin for example, I can't imagine that show being aimed at the younger demographic considering the grahpic content and what the people of that world deal with. I would probably even lump Sidonia no Kishi in too considering the tone of the show. Unless I'm just that far out of touch with the younger generation and the things they watch... I think it's possible and very doable for Macross to take on a darker tone.

I know this is a 'little' late...but better late than never.... I would argue that that isn't always the case with sequels. Though I suppose those sequels may be considered exceptions more than anything else.... I would also argue that making sequels different enough from the original can also breed such contempt. Take Macross 7 and Macross Zero for example. While I am well aware of Macross 7's popularity, I know there are many on this board who do not like the direction those two shows took. Personally, I don't particularly care for Macross 7, but I do enjoy Macross Zero. The way Zero was scripted feels more in line with the original whereas the former is somewhere out in left field. Macross 7 is about as broad as I would want the formula played with. While it's great that these new TV shows have brought in more fans, I believe there comes a point where you start to alienate fans the further you move away from what made the original so great - hence my roots remark. Take music for another example. There are several bands that I used to really enjoy listening to, but over time their music deviated just enough (from what I liked about them) that I stopped listening to them a long time ago. Now Im not suggesting that I want to hear the exact same rifts, melodies, and beats in every song composed slightly different...just that it would have been nice if these bands had stuck to their roots. Some of these bands I simply can no longer relate to. As far as roots and Macross are concerned, I mean more than just the three pillars here. As long as this new television series plays out more like a space opera with hard/military science fiction and less like a music video I will be happy. Edit: Edited for grammar...mainly spacing between some words.

I just wanted to preface this by saying that I am not trying to pick on you or anything, but I wanted to throw my two cents in with my thoughts on the new show with regards to these three-pillar remarks people are throwing around. Then there's that Macross II comment... If it weren’t for SDF Macross none of us would be here right now. Be it new fans to the series, or whatever the Japanese fan base now seems to desire as you suggest, it’s not unreasonable to want something that is rooted in the original. Otherwise you might as well call the show something other than Macross. A new alternate universe could be just what we need, whether it is a success or a disappointment is all a matter of opinion. As for Macross II, calling it a disappointment is, again, all a matter of opinion – there are many of us who adore the show.

QFT and FTW I love the polling options btw! No mystery here as to how I voted...
