Renato Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 The first time I saw Macross Zero episode 4 was on DVD in a shop which was showing it on a big screen, it had the "resume title" function on so it only played the episode itself, none of the other stuff on the DVD, if there was any other than the ads. This week, since I have been living without a TV for four months, I decided to buy a second hand televideo when I found a good deal. So I decided to rent MZero 4 and this time concentrate whilst watching it. Now, I dunno if this is a VHS-only deal or what, but I haven't heard anybody on these boards mention the "extra" thing at the end of the episode yet. The "Macross Zero Zero" trailer. It's obviously supposed to be a joke... The orange thing that's on the can of "Genki Fresh Juice" or whatever from episode 2 goes on an adventure to search for the Bird-man.. Strangest thing is, it's all live action (apparently filmed during the staff research trip to the tropics, with some real-life Tomcats as well), except for some of the CG scenes from the earlier episodes where they've put the orange guy in the cockpit of the VF-0. I dunno, I just don't get it... Has no-one else seen this?? Quote
Keith Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Pretty sure we did talk about it, and yes, it is very funny. I love when they fly around the 1/48 VF-1A. Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Too bad it's not on the raw or Anbu file. I wanna watch. Quote
Renato Posted August 7, 2004 Author Posted August 7, 2004 Oh. Well, never mind, then. Are there more "special" things like this on the other episodes? Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 Oh. Well, never mind, then.Are there more "special" things like this on the other episodes? On the Anbu files, I'm pretty sure there's nothing on them. The first episode on DVD has an add for the upcoming model kits, Macross typing game, the Macross the Tribute ad, and 20th Anniversary DVD ad. And after all that they have a bunch of previews. Quote
Keith Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 I just hope vol 5 has some sort of preview for a new seires.... Quote
ewilen Posted August 7, 2004 Posted August 7, 2004 This is the first I've heard of it. Does anyone know if it's available for download? Quote
Aegis! Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 This is the first I've heard of it. Does anyone know if it's available for download? Ditto Did I miss something , I never heard anyone talk about it until now , I assumed the DVDs just came with the OVAs and nothing else since that was one of the strongest critics thrown at it. Quote
orguss01 Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 Yeah it's on the DVD aswell..i thought it was some kind of "bootlegger" joke...since my copy had realy bad subs...i thought it was a Singapore inside joke... Quote
ewilen Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 If it's on a bootleg DVD, do you know which "production company" made the DVD? Not all of them are necessarily going to have it. Quote
orguss01 Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 How do i know who is production company..?? Of all four eps that i have received they all olook diff.. from faded cover art to bad subs to clear/or black outer cases.. My third ep has art work printed on the inside cover.... Quote
Keith Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 Some will say on the disc, sometimes a logo will pop up before the menu, other times it's impossible to tell these days. The ones with the better features seem to be the Av releases. Quote
azrael Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 The feature is only on Disc 4. I checked my R2s and episode 4 is the only one that has the featurette. Quote
Gokurakumaru Posted August 8, 2004 Posted August 8, 2004 Am I the only one who saw it and said "WTF is this crap?" Not funny. Just dumb. Quit dicking around with dolls and finish the damned series, guys. Quote
Keith Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Am I the only one who saw it and said "WTF is this crap?" Not funny. Just dumb. Quit dicking around with dolls and finish the damned series, guys. Must be, as I found it really damn funny. Besiodes, taking a break to do silly stuff can speed up actual work. Quote
Macross_Fanboy Posted August 9, 2004 Posted August 9, 2004 Am I the only one who saw it and said "WTF is this crap?" Not funny. Just dumb. Quit dicking around with dolls and finish the damned series, guys. Chill. We all want them to finish, do you want it done fast or do you want it done right? Quote
Myersjessee Posted August 12, 2004 Posted August 12, 2004 So..Im watching Macross Zero Ep 4...it finishes...I go to the title...and find this...and just as it gets going my wife walks in and I spend the next 30 minutes trying to explain what Im watching. I would have been better off being caught watching porn. Quote
VF-18S Hornet Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 My episode 2 is made by "Manga". WHAT Manga Video got their hands on Macross 0, how come I didn't see in stores like Best Buy or FYE. Quote
ewilen Posted August 13, 2004 Posted August 13, 2004 That would be Manga International--the bootlegger outfit. Not Manga Video, the legitimate anime distribution company. Quote
