ewilen Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Utterly useless. Remaster the movie and give it proper softcoded subtitles (no need to bother with a dub), sell it for $20 or thereabouts, and then you'll have my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lt.actionjackson Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 This is a pointless release. Remaster the video and include the movie on a third disc and MAYBE you could justify that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Osean Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 40 dollars! I don't think so Manga. They prolly got the idea of a box set from the Paul Champagne dvd boxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 (edited) Look at it this way, at least it's no longer the $80 version that was both OVA disc's & Macross II (no sign of the movie edition either) that was advertised last year. For this release, Manga could have just as easily bundled both disc's in 1 double disc case with a new cover for 19.99/21.99.

terry the lone wolf Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Why doesn't Manga do a english dub version of the Movie Edition? I'd buy that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr March Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 It's too bad Macross Plus is not receiving the special edition treatment that was given to other Manga titles like Ghost in the Shell and Ninja Scroll. I would have thought Mac+ being one of Manga's early successes on video release would merit a proper edition with all the bells and whistles. Since I already own the DVDs, I won't be purchasing this set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyrrhonist Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 If only Manga Entertainment was remastering the video on the discs, then I could possibly justify buying them again. However, I don't see any indication that is the case, so I'll pass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MjrMisaHayase Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I already own Volumes 1 and 2 of Macross Plus on DVD, but not the Movie Edition as of this typing, so unless Manga added new features (i.e., 16x9 widescreen, HD-compatibility), I'm not interested. Otherwise, I can always order the Region-1 Macross Plus Movie Edition elsewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the first time I ever heard of them, I remember seeing their booth at a con in NYC with Macross Plus stuff all over it (the first time I had actually heard of Macross Plus), and was like, WOAH, what's this?

Keith Posted May 8, 2005 Share Posted May 8, 2005 Macross Plus was the only DVD release Manga's managed to get out (for the most part) correctly. Sure the video's a little dark, but there are no visable layer changes, audio qualities fine (although the dub audio was glitched on the first release of the disc's), video doesn't "look" like it's a straight VHS dump (as the movie edition & II do), etc. It was all down hill from there.

I agree. I was of the understanding Macross Plus was one of Manga's premier titles and contributed greatly to their early success and continued earnings during their formative years as a company. All my friends who enjoyed anime at the time all owned VHS copies of Mac+ and the videos were the mainstay of all the local hobby shops.

Radd Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Meh. I need a copy of the OVA, but if I can find it cheaper from the old release, and this new release doesn't feature anything new, then I'll get the old DVDs that are still floating around.

LinxCrossq Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 In summary I see we don't know anything yet about this re-release. In amazon.com you can preorder for around $30, which is a little cheaper than buying the 2 DVD's individually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skull Leader Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 because the english voice cast, except for Guld, were horrid That's a matter of opinion. With the exception of Yang Newman, I rather thought the MacPlus cast did a pretty good job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Payne Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Macross Plus was the only DVD release Manga's managed to get out (for the most part) correctly. I dunno Keith. I've got their release of Castle of Cagliostro, and I have no complaints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Honestly, haven't checked their Cagliostro release, but I'd be highly surprised if it doesn't have an ill placed layer change. And here's another vote against the Plus dub cast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
