New chapter of MACROSS THE FIRST is up on ComicWalker. That's TWO chapters this month!
-
Well now, this IS a pleasant surprise! Ostensibly to coincide with the release of the 6th published collected volume today, Macross the First has also received a new digital chapter! That's two updates this month! See ComicWalker for details (as usual, your device must be set to Japanese in order to see the new content).

Confirmed! Rion Sakaki and YF-30 confirmed for new 3DS Super Robot Wars. (Altho Rion is only shown in his 25 from the opening scene of Macross 30).

If the fans guess/interpretation is correct, Macross 30 fans are gonna have to dust off the old 3DS! http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/daily-briefs/2015-05-19/new-super-robot-wars-3ds-game-teased-in-famitsu/.88317

No, there was no 'limitation' imposed on the license, just two major factors that need to be kept in mind. (1)The VF-X license was most likely considerably cheaper than the FB2012 one. For a niche valk that isnt a hero valk, going with the cheaper license makes business sense. (2)(Repeating whats been said previously but) IT WAS MADE TO ORDER. And there was a large window to order as well. The only limitation to the number of valks made was the number that were ordered. It sucks for anyone late to the party but theres no conspiracy theory behind it.

May'n takes 3 month break due to health issues
Tochiro replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
ANN just picked up on the story. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-05-18/mayn-cancels-current-tour-due-to-vocal-cord-polyps/.88277 -
Singing voice of Macross Frontier's Sheryl Nome, May'n has put concerts for the next 3 months on hiatus due to polyps on vocal chords. Polyps were discovered a few years back by doctors. She has been performing while keeping an eye on the condition which recently worsened. May'n aims to take the next 3 months off to ease the stress on her vocal chords, with Augusts scheduled 10th Anniversary concert at the Budokan 'POWERS OF VOICE' currently still on track to go ahead as planned. http://mayn.jp/pr150518/

Studio Nue is a design studio. Even when they were first conceived they were fairly notorious for doing designs so detailed that they were difficult to animate without simplifying somewhat. I dont think anyone has ever claimed they are an animation studio (apart from fans of that OTHER franchise who never seem to be able to do a simple google search for some reason).

Oh I somehow doubt that the VF-4 is gone for good. My hunch is that it will pop up again at somepoint. Just not necessarily anytime soon. ;-)

Why on earth would you assume that Macross ANYTHING would be produced for Western audiences? It's a Japanese IP that makes the bulk of its money from a supportive Japanese fanbase, the greater percentage of which is currently made up of Frontier fans. Not to mention, of course, that it can't be made with non-Japanese audiences in mind due to those 'issues' that shall not be named. Like Yamato, Gatnz, and Ruroni Kenshin, if a Macross live action adaptation were to happen, it would be made in Japan for the Japanese audience. For what its worth, of the current rumours industry surrounding the franchise and its possible future, a live action movie is not among anything I've heard of as of late.

Adrians thoughts are many. We will be recording them this weekend and hope to have a podcast up next week. He has some great info on Evolution Toys too. On a side note, as I noted in the front page piece, it's a TOY. Do people think I don't do my due diligence when translating and reporting this stuff? I hate to sound crabby but it's almost insulting.

Wow, an honest to goodness Tomo Sakurai fan page....without any mention of Macross 7... ^^; https://morningberryz48.wordpress.com/2013/05/03/「tgif」idols-unzipped-on-way-back-fridays-presents-sakurai-tomosinger-actress-model-seiyuu-volume-44/

As we reported on the front page, yes its 1/60. (insert obligatory 'no-one reads the front page anymore' complaint here)

Macross Δ (Delta) - announcement thread
Tochiro replied to renegadeleader1's topic in Movies and TV Series
Hi Oskull! As expected, nothing worth reporting unfortunately, no. There was a lot of talk about the idol audition process, but we still have yet to get a clarification of how to read the name. There were one or two vague hints dropped that I'll be covering on the next podcast. -

If anyone was watching the Macross Fans-US Facebook group, this was actually scooped by SAVE hours ago - he was actually on-site at the event putting pics up real time :-)
