Live action Lupin directed by Kitamura, with Meisa Kuroki AND Tadanobu Asano? Apart from Goemon, this casting is AMAZING! http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-11-26/lupin-iii-gets-live-action-film-in-summer-2014-starring-shun-oguri

All that scan says is that it's due to release in 2014. Everything else- from price to height- is listed as TBD.

Thanks for the update! Just found out theres an Occulus Rift at my office so I might give this a shot.

Inner-case illustrations for upcoming Macross F BD box set revealed!

Not really. The way Macross 30 worked it could occur after either the tv series or the movies. And it does have a confirmed spot in the timeline too. As for the Musiculture, I'm sure Richard could check the concert booklet but I dont see why it wouldn't be a part of the timeline (it certainly seems more legit that contradicting facts from drama albums).

Sketchley - Excellent point. Skullmilitia - I was never convinced by the theory that the words of the song shooting star were supposed to reflect what happened after the movie. Having said that, the 'story' of Macross Crossover 30 (such that it was) did at least show what was going on in Sheryls head while she was unconscious and played a brief audio call for help from Alto (fold transmission) to show that he was in fact alive after the events of the movie (if stranded and sounding very very panicked). As far as I know, Crossover 30, despite being an event, is part of the official setting - I certainly havent heard otherwise for it, or the Musiculture, or Macros 30, etc. But we shall have to wait and see what comes next I suppose.

But wait, what about FB7?!?!...j/k In my opinion, once one gets over the restrictions enforced by the need for a 100% established 'canon' the benefits of Kawamori's approach are actually pretty good. Why settle for the tv OR the movie when you can have the best elements from both! Plus, fans get to see more of the characters they love. Also, for OVA's/movies theres nearly always a theatrical release involved, meaning lucrative (impulse purchasing) merchandising involved. The fans certainly had a lot of fun with that ending, yep. Although, now that its been confirmed that Alto is alive and in trouble, I don't think its a stretch to conclude that the movie ending is the one thats going to be referenced (dare I say built upon?) in the future (I refuse to use the word canon though, after all, this IS Kawamori we are talking about).

But Jefuemon, EVERYONE knows that that information means nothing until Kotaku reprints it! lol Alrighty mods, feel free to lock this puppy as a dupe, sorry.

I always said that Kill la Kill would make this years cosplay season interesting. http://kotaku.com/cops-called-for-underboob-cosplay-controversy-1464257715 -
While I'm usually hesitant about promoting the MAHQ podcast because I'm not a fan of its brand of humor and find the hosts to be generally disrespectful, this episode they've actually come up with some content thats new and original (for once) - an interview with Robert Woodhead about the Bubblegum Crisis kickstarter. http://gundamnmahq.blogspot.jp/2013/11/gundamn-mahq-special-025-kickstarter.html

Macross World Podcast - feedback & comments
Tochiro replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
While still barebones, I've finally started a companion youtube channel for the cast. Half of the initial content is reposted from elsewhere (with permission), but the crew will gradually be adding footage from our Macross lives as we go along. http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrkG_wrDArqo-PvYo-1uLZA/videos -

Nobunaga the Fool - New Kawamori project
Tochiro replied to Tochiro's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Nobunaga the Fool has been extended to include a new tv anime series. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-11-07/shoji-kawamori-nobunaga-the-fool-project-gets-tv-anime -
Oh the guy is no hardcore, cigar chompin, gritty hero. He is pretty happy and heck, does cry at one point. But for all that he knows what his job is. I always loved that his first reaction to being told he might be trapped at Ouroborus SMS for anything from a month to a year was 'I still get paid, right?'

We do our best to .... annoy ^^;

M30, while set 1 year after the events of Frontier, involves characters all being brought together from various points in the past which i why it doesnt need to follow the conclusions of either the tv series or movies. I dont see why people are so down on Leon - he is by far the most decisive Macross lead character we have had in the franchise in over a decade. He isnt all emo-ish and is well aware that the point of an SMS pilot is to follow orders and fight when necessary. He may be underdeveloped but I for one hope that we get more characters like him in the future. Heck, given that he is smack in the middle of this years official Macross birthday card, I hope we see more of him.

Oh Alto has been confirmed to be very much alive and is desperately trying to get back to the Frontier. Of course, you'd know this if you listened to Macross SpeakerPODcast ;-)
