treatment Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) Gahhh! Two more days. Until release in Japan. 4-5 days till I receive my order from cdjapan. possibly 24-36 hrs after japan-release for the fansubs to complete translation and encoding. another 24-48 hrs till it the seeds appear. ARRRRGGGGHHHH!!!!!! I. CAN'T. WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Edited October 20, 2004 by treatment Quote
UN Spacy Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 This very well might be the LAST NEW Macross we see for quite some time. Let's hope Kawamori and company leave us with yet another great ending. Quote
robokochan Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Hee Hee I am in Japan and I will get to see it frist. That is if these stupid TYPHOONS let up enough for me to go to the store to pick it up... Rob Quote
Raptor Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 I consider that a challenge. Bahahaha... Ah crap. I left my umbrella at an arcade... Oh well, it was broken anyway. And I'd rather download fansubs than rent Japanese DVD's anyway Quote
Mechamaniac Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) Two more days until we figure out how they (can't possibly) wrap up all the story lines in one 35 minute episode! EDIT - Although it will be nice to finally be able to get the whole series on DVD. It won't be long I'm sure, before the leggers have all five eps subbed and on one DVD. I have been refraining from getting the individual eps for just that reason. Or, until Bandai (Big West) recognizes their English speaking fans, and at least puts subs on the R2 DVD's.

newca Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 This very well might be the LAST NEW Macross we see for quite some time. did you forget the Movie version of MacZero? Quote
EXO Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 I can't wait.... I want to see a glorious death for Shin! Die! Shin! Die!!! Quote
Agent ONE Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 I hope they put a plot in this one, or maybe even something tying it to other Macross stories. Quote
Majestic Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 While I like Macross zero, I'm dreading the painful poorly animated Anime-Friend style sequences, like the previous episode with Roy's VF-O GBP armor. You get amazing CG, then they hit you in the stomach with flip-book animation that would make Disney cry. Quote
Majestic Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 ..hey, just wish they had a bigger budget is all. Looking forward to the Monster appearance. Hopefully they won't skimp on its animation. Quote
Hikuro Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 damn I forgot all about episode 5! Should be atleast a week before the subs start poppin out and I can finally have all 5 Episodes on VCD! Quote
bsu legato Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Any guestimates as to how long it will take our friendly neighborhood fansubbers to work their magic? Quote
MGREXX Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 (edited) WHAT ARE YOU ALL TALKING ABOUT? It's been out. I saw it last night w/subs. Should I spoil the ending??????????????.........hmmm.........naa!!!! SHIN DIES..............Just kidding!!! Edited October 20, 2004 by MGREXX Quote
Ido Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Can't wait, hope they will not go for the cheap ending and improved ending in the movie edition ala Macross + We all want to see the Monster in 3D , right people? Curious how will Aries die... bet for saving someone life. (Sara) PS EXO what have the poor Shin Kudo did for be so hated? Quote
bsu legato Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 EXO what have the poor Shin Kudo did for be so hated? Don't listen to EXO. He's just a bitter Edgar fanboy. Quote
EXO Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Don't listen to EXO. He's just a bitter Edgar fanboy. Edgar's Shin's doormat! I can't believe no one else sees Shin as the f*cktard that he is. He starts out as this arrogant F-14 Top gun ace. He goes up against a girl and he has no problem fighting her witha stick (very ungentlemanly, especially for an honorable japanese man) and proceeds to get his ass kicked. He shoots Roy with the paintballs after he was declared dead (a very big no-no in paintball) And it's been 4 episodes and I haven't seen him do sh!t with a VF-0. Meanwhile Roy is running around doing everybody's job. Shin is a better pilot with that POS flying log if anything... DIE! SHIN! DIE! I have a feeling he won't though... Quote
bsu legato Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 Wrong, wrong, wrong. He starts out as this arrogant F-14 Top gun ace. You see, the wars of tomorrow will be fought by the kids of today. What you see as Shin's "arrogance" is actually a weary cynicism at his teammates disinterest in teamwork, objectives and even tactics. Haven't you ever played Counterstrike? He goes up against a girl and he has no problem fighting her witha stick (very ungentlemanly, especially for an honorable japanese man) and proceeds to get his ass kicked. Being from Japan, Shin merely wanted to show her his skills in Kendo. Or have you ever considered that, after his embarassment on the island, Shin was trying to woo her with that 'stick?" He shoots Roy with the paintballs after he was declared dead (a very big no-no in paintball) Roy is a camping whore. He's lucky nobody TK'd him sooner. And it's been 4 episodes and I haven't seen him do sh!t with a VF-0. Meanwhile Roy is running around doing everybody's job. Shin is a better pilot with that POS flying log if anything... He flew around in circles underwater pretty well. And again, Roy is a kill stealing bitch whose only concern is his score. gg, Roy And you think its easy to fly a log? Let's see you try it. Quote
EXO Posted October 20, 2004 Posted October 20, 2004 And you think its easy to fly a log? Let's see you try it. I have no desire to ever straddle wood... Shin's gay... Quote
Renato Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 The rental stores should have episode 5 in by now... I don't see what's taking so long. When ep. 4 came out, it was on rental a short while before the sale version. As for Shin -- he's Japanese-American. Reading some of the hype in the Japanese magazine articles, this could be the biggest Macross ending let-down ever. "Will the Bird Man destroy the earth?" "Who will win -- Ivanof or Roy?" "Can Shin save Sara?" Well, duh. It's a prequel, so we already know the outcome of the first two. And yes, Shin will save Sara. They're the goodies. Bleah. This series has got 35 minutes (plus a 10-minute extra feature, apparently) to redeem itself. Or I'm condemning it to that bin of pointless sequels that Macross II and Terminator 3 etc. have been thrown into. We'll shove Gunbuster 2 in there while we're at it. Quote
Bub Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Doesn't matter how it ends, as long as we see the VF-1. Quote
Renato Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Doesn't matter how it ends, as long as we see the VF-1. Pfft. Yeah, right. Quote
Mercurial Morpheus Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 That reminds me, I still haven't finished watching number four yet. Quote
Sumdumgai Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 Don't listen to EXO. He's just a bitter Edgar fanboy. Edgar's Shin's doormat! I can't believe no one else sees Shin as the f*cktard that he is. He is a f*cktard! He starts out as this arrogant F-14 Top gun ace. With the angsty hero thing going on. At least he isn't chanting "I musn't run away!" while wanking-off over a psychotic girl in a hospital room! He goes up against a girl and he has no problem fighting her witha stick (very ungentlemanly, especially for an honorable japanese man) and proceeds to get his ass kicked. Shin got pwned! This keeps up with the hero traditionally getting his ass kicked by everyone before he gets stronger. (one of the most extreme examples being Seiya) He shoots Roy with the paintballs after he was declared dead (a very big no-no in paintball) Shin displayed the standard counterstrike reaction: "bullshit! He hacks!" Of course when he continued to fight against Roy, who's at a completely different skill level than Shin, he got pwned again! And it's been 4 episodes and I haven't seen him do sh!t with a VF-0. Meanwhile Roy is running around doing everybody's job. Shin is a better pilot with that POS flying log if anything... He's been hit over and over with paintballs, been thrown on the ground, grabbed by a big claw on the cockpit (dirty), and crashed it. Shin loves wood. I'll bet deadgar is gonna make a comeback only to be "tragically/comically" killed... or get a sex change and become Claudia! Quote
Final Vegeta Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 "Will the Bird Man destroy the earth?" What if the Bird Man just goes back to sleep again and wakes up in another Macross series and then destroys Earth? Impending doom. "Who will win -- Ivanof or Roy?" We are not sure Ivanov will die, or that he will die killed by Roy "Can Shin save Sara?" We are not sure from who or what Shin will save Sara This series has got 35 minutes (plus a 10-minute extra feature, apparently) to redeem itself. Or I'm condemning it to that bin of pointless sequels that Macross II and Terminator 3 etc. have been thrown into. We'll shove Gunbuster 2 in there while we're at it. It's a prequel, that's why you know all the answer. You have to admit the situation is different, and it's harder for authors to craft a story about outcomes you can easily guess. I think the questions just came from a advertiser who doesn't know his work, or maybe these questions are just outright misleading. The point of Macross Zero is not really the suspense, the bits of suspense are meant to make you swallow the rest, like the phosphoric acid in your drink. Now that I have watched Arjuna, I am more and more interested in Kawamori's vision of the Earth. My real question is: if Arjuna had influences from Bahgavad Gita, what is the tie between Macross Zero and the birdman cult of Easter Island? (the birdman cult was just a race to pick up an egg, as shown in Rapa Nui) FV Quote
F360° Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 wait, is the voice actor for Shin in Macross Zero the same as Shin in Gundam Seed destiny? Quote
uminoken Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 This series has got 35 minutes (plus a 10-minute extra feature, apparently) to redeem itself. Is the 10+ minutes going to be like Macross Zero Zero? Which as far as I know never made it to the fansub circuit (PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong) Quote
Noyhauser Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 what if the Bird Man just goes back to sleep again and wakes up in another Macross series and then destroys Earth? Impending doom. Comes back to destroy earth? what earth is there left to destroy? I don't think its possible to do much more damage than 4 million Zentredi did three years later. Quote
newca Posted October 21, 2004 Posted October 21, 2004 downloading 05 by ED now, some one has already enjoyed this final episode said, the wait is worth...still waiting... Quote
treatment Posted October 21, 2004 Author Posted October 21, 2004 my order just shipped. be here next week. quickly, i hope. Quote
Panon Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 wait, is the voice actor for Shin in Macross Zero the same as Shin in Gundam Seed destiny? Yes. Quote
Jasonc Posted October 22, 2004 Posted October 22, 2004 "Deadgar" will become Claudia after a sex change??? "F"ilarious man, everyone at work just now looked at me like I was crazy for laughing out loud just now, those bastards. I want my copy now. Hopefully someone who actually speaks English will translate it and not some 4th rate english translation. Or I should just learn Japanese. Quote
