Way To Go Newtype..

[Mechamaniac]

Picked up the January '06 issue of Newtype today since I saw that the preview DVD contained Macross. Naturally, I assumed that it was a preview (or even a whole episode) of the new ADV dub.

Got it home, and it DOES contain Episode 1 of Macross. However, you get the following message:

Watch for an extra bonus episode of a newly-dubbed Macross coming soon on your Newtype USA DVD!

Then it proceeds to play Episode 1, SUBBED, not dubbed. In other words, the same stuff we've already seen. If you go to the Trailers section of the DVD, it plays a not half bad little compilation trailer set to the series opener, but again, no English Dub.

So, Newtype, given that the Dub is due to be released in January, thanks for giving us a preview of what we have already seen. . Here's a hint....by the time you release the dub preview, it will already have been released.

However, there was also an interview with Mari in the issue, and it did point out one thing I am very happy to hear...

Fans will be pleased to learn that the songs used in the new Macross will be the original Japanese versions Iijima recorded in the '80's

So, no attempts at doing them in English, no Reba West massacres, just original Macross song goodness...kyun! kyun!.

Sounds good! I am so excited I think I will go back and rewatch the originals. *kyun kyun...*
