    Well, the latest issue of Newtype Ace is out (vol.22) and no Macross the First again. Nor is it listed for next months issue either

    Its been supported by very hardcore fans up until now. People who see it 7 or 8 times in the cinema. AND buy the limited editions of the blurays (which is why I roll my eyes when people bitch about the price of importing). The tv broadcast seems to have expanded the audience though, which is a great thing.

    Well, given that, pre-broadcast, the show was apparently not performing to expectations and the fact that it required such a long pre-production period, I think that a sequel is far from guaranteed.

    Daaaamn! While I have no hard figures to back this up, I think the tv broadcast has indeed given the show a popularity boost. Tickets for Ch.6 opening day just went on sale and it was by far the most difficult it has ever been to get tickets to one of the opening day talkshows. Cinema website utterly crashed. I hate to think how hard Ch.7 will be to get into. On the good side - more demand means more hope (and at this point its hope and nothing more) for some sort of a prequel/sequel.

    No, there's only one version for now. That site is referring to the first pressing, not a different limited edition. Note that both listings start at almost the same price.

    Used to have about 20 or so of those clogging up the spare bedroom in my apartment. Ah the memories.

    Actually you can have as many accounts from as many regions on the one PS3 as you like. It's always been that way.

    Except that the TV series isnt 'canon' either. And whatever the figure, it was later changed due to Kawamori introducing the concept of cloning in order to speed up interstellar immigration from a story standpoint.
  11. Tochiro
    Canonical? In Macross? Those two words dont really go together all that well you know.

    First pressings of volumes 5 and 9 came with nice chunky boxes to store the series in. One had awesome Tenjin art. The other...didnt.

    The first original merchandise for Macross THE MUSEUM has been revealed! Does everyone remember the Macross-themed canned-bread that people posted pictures of from last years exhibit? This time will see the release of the CANcho (Kancho=Captain) series! lol

    Well we already got the 1:1 VF:25 last year ;-)

    Well I think the BDs look just fine. No complaints about the boxset. Subtitles? Really? Japanese BD boxes dont generally get reprints. besides which, a M0 reprint is unlikely seeing as that its still readily available. http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9-%E3%82%BC%E3%83%AD-Blu-ray-Disc-BOX/dp/B0017T3PX2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1370511106&sr=8-1&keywords=%E3%83%9E%E3%82%AF%E3%83%AD%E3%82%B9+%E3%82%BC%E3%83%AD+blu-ray+disc+box Newer boxsets (ie, M7 box 1 & 2) have a limited print run fyi so if you want them get them asap.

    Well a lot of people have been asking Arcadia about a second batch on twitter. No confirmation either way but they said they are aware of everyone's input. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if we see a v2 later on down the track (just IMO of course). A friend of mine whom I figured would get one of the initial 10 seems to have secured an order. Once it eventually comes out Ill try to talk her into letting me do a review or something.
  24. Tochiro
    Amiami reopened orders a couple of hrs ago.

    Which is all fine and good and, as I said, your prerogative. I was just wondering what exactly you were basing your opinions on. As in, which of the Macross Bluray sets to date was it that caused this skepticism towards Bandai's Macross releases? Which one was it that you bought and then turned out so disappointing? I ask because honestly I have been pretty amazed by the quality of all of them so far (who would have thought that M7 could look so good!) and my only complaint would be about SDFM TV - and even then my problems were with the packaging and relative lack of extras and not the way the show itself looked. As far as facts go, well its a fact that the movie edition isnt an upscale, at least. Its also a fact that Kawamori himself oversaw the 'remaster' although the pictures Ive seen of him doing so in the studio dont specify which version it was. then theres the fairly reasonable conjecture that Keith made - that this will most likely be the only BD release so there wont be any other options anyways and heck, I dont think Ive seen an anime BD yet that looks as bad as a manga entertainment DVD encode. Then again, if this is all based the kind of people who post 'reviews' on Amazon before a product is released (and not that the number of fake positive reviews has jumped since the theatrical screening to the point that they already outweigh the fake negative reviews by 2 to 1) well then.... good luck with that I suppose. But, to each their own. Given how Macross Plus lacked anywhere near the popularity in Japan that it had in the West I suppose I'm just happy that we are getting a release at all, let alone something that is relatively import friendly. And with a preorder discount it costs less than buying a valk :-)
