It's the first new content that hasn't been physically published. I'm sure that they will compile and publish a new tankobon once there's enough new material to do so. Which, at this rate, could be a while.

From blogger August Ragone: NEW FOOTAGE FEATURED IN "VOYAGE OF REMEMBRANCE"! The upcoming theatrical feature compilation, condensing the 26-episodes of SPACE BATTLESHIP YAMATO: 2199, VOYAGE OF REMEMBRANCE, will feature several newly animated shots to enhance the story. Just revealed by the Yamato Crew website, and posted below, mostly involve scenes from the decisive Battle at the Rainbow Star Cluster! The film bows in Japan on October 11th, and will begin screenings in select theaters in the US, starting on October 24th in Los Angeles. Perhaps, there will be more new scenes to bridge the footage for this compilation, which will also be released on DVD and Blu-ray! Yamato Crew announcement: http://yamatocrew.jp/crew/info/140829-4

COSPA will release a Roy Focker jinbei (traditional Japanese summer/festival garment for men) in late September (a bit late for festival season, but oh well theres always next year I suppose). The garment will retail for 7800yen, which is fairly reasonable for a jinbei, and be available in both Medium and large sizes. Dont just keep cool in summer when you can also be cool :-)

Macross Plus in BD!!! OVA w/ English Dub & Movie w/En
Tochiro replied to treatment's topic in Movies and TV Series
No idea sorry. It is a fairly niche product though. -
I recommend Ranka for that. Her special ability slows the boss down significantly.

FYI, both the M7 and M+ boxsets are just reissues. The content and packaging is identical to the previous manufacturing run. -

I tend to stay away from speculation at such an early stage of production and regardless I'm sure I'm not saying anything you don't already know, but please allow me to elaborate a little. Kawamori mentioned in both the video and at a talkshow last year (Macross The Museum) about how difficult it was becoming to work music into Macross. The minute music is inserted into the mix everyone knows what will happen. This is why he tried mixing things up with Frontier - the music actually attracted the enemy, lead to death and carnage, was weaponised by the military, and (in the tv series) DYRL was used by Ranka against humanity. But the challenge with the new series is what can be done after having done that? The fact that he has come up with a working concept that he likes is kind of a big deal. Now, to give things context, while I too would like to see a darker take on Macross (like some of the darker elements in the Wings of Farewell, for example), such a thing would really only be doable in an OVA. TV needs to appeal to a wider audience as well as Frontiers fans - which are primarily female. Hence the love triangle is a must. Similarly, with Frontier's music being so popular that it started an anime music boom and was hitting mainstream top 10 music rankings, I'd be very surprised if there wasn't considerable pressure to work in the music element in a bankable manner. Kawamori has talked about the limitations of working within the confines of the 3-pillars of Macross in the past although in the above video he somewhat contradicts himself as it sounds like he was considering axing the love triangle element. Given the market realties though, that will have to wait for the next OVA. All those Alto iPhone cases and Sheryl-branded perfume/jewelry won't sell themselves, after all ^^; But if nothing else Kawamori's work on Macross consistently surprises. I'm looking forward to what he comes up with this time. As long as it isn't Nobunaga the Macross…^^;

MacrossCN, would it be too much effort to explain what you are posting so others can understand? Not just cutting and pasting a bunch of Japanese? Even Antibiotic tab is thoughtful enough to try his best to provide some sort of English explanation when he posts links.I mean seriously, you do this all the time. At the very least, include a note asking what it means. Otherwise it just comes across as confusing, condescending, and flat out rude. So, for anyone who is wondering, the new series is touched upon briefly at the end of the second video (third last topic discussed). As has been reported previously, Kawamori reiterates that the show is in the planning stages still. Its very much still having its basic concepts worked on. He has had a breakthrough with how he wants to incorporate music this time but the idea is still being refined. He has also been told that the love triangle element has to be included. Still very early days, but it's coming along :-)
