    It's still in both of the previous DVD releases. We can hope it's been restored in the upcoming release but since the original edits were not the result of external pressure from ratings boards or any other outside forces to begin with....well, we can only hope, I guess.
  2. Tochiro
    Actually no. Since it is often shown in all-night Macross screening festivals and events there has been an age limit enforced on occasions.

    Yeah, I'd agree with Gubaba to not expect Kanno back for yet another go at the franchise. Having said that, given the huge potential music sales and expectations - why would they not 'do right' by the music in delta? Let's wait and see. Less than two months until all is better revealed.

    No more than it would have cost them to build the set and prop models of the SDF-1 for the original TV series though, presumably ;-)

    There's a lot of details on what was shown, courtesy of SAVE who was not only on-site but also spoke with Evolution Toys as well. And above photos may not entirely be what people think they are ;-) We recorded about it last night and I hope to have the episode edited and posted tomorrow night. I will, as always, include time stamps for anyone who wants to jump straight to the VF-2SS stuff.

    It has never been stated by anyone involved with the release that this was the specific reason. And unless it is then this is speculation based on YOUR opinion, period. And as someone who (a)works for a Japanese videogame publisher, (b)just spent 3 hours with Shoji Kawamori and ©has spoken with several persons involved in the release, I can say without reservation that your speculation/opinions in this case are unfortunately wrong. The changes far preceded any consideration of CERO submission in the project. Given what I've been told in confidence, that's as much as I can say, although I will point out that I've confirmed what I've been told with multiple related parties. As with everything I do with the podcast, my main two concerns with Macross and information surrounding it are (a)providing context and (b)correcting misinformation. The reality of being, at times, so close to the franchise however is that there are things mentioned to me and others in confidence and we respect that confidence as best we can. Speculation is fine. It's a sign that a franchise has a healthy fanbase. But when such speculation doesn't take into consideration the context surrounding it or is wrong to the point of being misinformation then I simply must speak up. Furthermore, the censored version of DYRL has been the only one to get theatrical screenings ever since it was made (at least 3 or 4 time in multiple cinemas and festivals). This is despite there being perfectly acceptable 35mm prints available and not all the cinemas it played in being 100% digital. The censored version has been pushed as THE definitive remaster ever since it was made and that has absolutely nothing to do with CERO. There is/has been an agenda at play. Now will the new release be censored? I've talked to people and been unable to get a clear answer one way or the other. The fact that they aren't shouting 'now uncensored' in the press release/announcement leads me to suspect it will be the same censored cut however this is merely speculation on my part at this point and nothing more. I hope to be proven wrong, fingers crossed.

    Just finished recording a Delta/Tamashii Nations podcast. Should go live in a few days.

    And this is why I avoid 2-chan like the plague. :-) Reactions among the fans and Twitter were decidedly less harsh. But fair enough. Doesn't change the fact that the edits had absolutely nothing to do with there being a game on the disc though ;-)

    Looks like Arcadia finally has a working prototype of the Mylene Bass. ()
  11. Tochiro
    I guess the presumption would be that, since Delta is set at the furthest reach of colonized space (literally on the 'Frontier', wink wink) that things would be a little less unified and a little more chaotic.
  12. Tochiro
    The editing had nothing to do with the inclusion of a game and if by 'fan backlash' you are referring to comments on this board, it might be worth keeping in mind that Bandai Visual will not put any stock in comments made by a market they can not legally sell to.

    Bandai Sv-262 DX valk

    Tochiro replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    The way that weapon is curved inwards on one side so that it fits flush against the slightly curved underside of the Draken is quite interesting. Makes the whole thing feel like a very highly engineered piece of art.
  14. Tochiro
    But Kawamori designs neither characters nor backgrounds....
  15. Tochiro
    I have already seen two Macross Delta cosplays in the wild :-) And I'm expecting far more at Wonderfest and Comiket :-) The thing is, the word planetS has been used when referring to the conflict. As in plural. That was somewhat hastily retracted though so it's all still a mystery. What Valkyrie-dom have you been looking at? Because apart from the Alto vs Brera fights, IMO theres been a distinct LACK of dog fighting in recent years. Personally, I'm glad that Kawamori has said his aim with Delta is to bring talk vs talk fighting back to tv. As for specialised talks/roles - Michele and Luca pretty much did just that.

    Bandai Sv-262 DX valk

    Tochiro replied to seti88's topic in Toys

    Having spent a lot of time up close with the Chogokin Draken III prototype today, I gotta say that it's the sexiest piece of Valkyrie toy engineering since the Yamato VF-4. The underside is smooth as silk. And yes, there are two engines.

    Tail of the VF-31. Name of a new faction in Macross Delta? Or is it the squadron name? No doubt more details will be revealed in the lead up to ep.1 in less than two months. On a related note, having spent a lot of time up close with the Chogokin Draken III prototype today, I gotta say that it's the sexiest piece of Valkyrie toy engineering since the Yamato VF-4. The underside is smooth as silk. And yes, there are two engines.

    Absolute Chogokin

    The VF-1S will be a freebie that comes bundled with issue 215 of Figure-Oh magazine.
  20. Tochiro
    Your wife is awesome dude.
  21. Tochiro
    Pack-in freebie with the upcoming issue 215 of Figure-Oh magazine.
  22. Tochiro
    Something old and something new. And then more new.

    Sigh...how many times do I need to point out that the idol girls ARENT the VF-31 pilots? Not to mention the fact that most people are making judgements on a 90 second teaser with explicitly stated unfinished animation in it? There was 43 minutes of context and discussion leading up to that teaser. But apparently no one watched the actual live stream. (p_-)
  24. Tochiro
    Just to clarify, that was in reference to their original IP though. Macross is not, so that article has actually little bearing on JaconC's points. It was certainly a good article though!
  25. Tochiro
    Ok, a few points explicitly stated in the Delta presentation that people seem to misunderstand. 1)The girls are NOT pilots. The do not sing while they fly. They support the pilots with their singing. We do not yet know WHO the pilots of the VF-31 squad are or HOW the girls support them (the talks do not appear to be dual cockpit either). 2)The males are NOT a band or idols. They are a group of pilots. Nowhere has it been stated that they sing. 3)The director stated that the main characters may not even (all) be in the two images released today. There's a lot more to be revealed yet. 4)Kawamori noted that there's no scenes in the teaser where the girls are actually doing their thing and that there's a lot regarding this that has yet to be revealed.
