Engage Planet KISSDUM. Coming 2007

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

Anyways, full hi-res trailer now up on the official site but it's one of those annoying streaming videos that my computer seems to hate. Is there a way to make it download instead?

Yeah, it looks all jumpy on my computer

[Zinjo]

Well all the techniques and lessons Satelight learns while working on Kissdum series will be translated into their work on the new Macross series.

BTW, when is it expected to premier in Japan anyway?

Same here. And it's not exactly hi-rez either.

[Aegis!]

Same here.

Is it possible to download it and convert it to other format so we can all see it properly ?

Maybe we can put it on youtube. I lack the the hi-tech know-how, so if anyone is willing to do it i´ll be forever grateful.

[Black Valkyrie]

Nice, the only thing missing is Robocop .

I'd rather that they learned the techniques from M0. Actually I hope that they've already started on the new Macross because refining techniques often takes longer than actually learning to use them.

And I think that it premiers on 4-3.

[Fort Max]

Still not exactly Blusuperrayhd-res quality but at least it doesn't judder,

It doesn't start airing on TV until April 3rd. After which, we shall see if it gets licensed.

[KiriK]

wow... that preview looks good..... i'm hoping this will come out in time so we can have a viewing of it available for MW Con in July!!

I can't see a show this polished and with such mass market appeal (robots, fighter planes, angst etc) not getting licensed.

[Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0]

Hmmm I'd love to see some bandai diecast goodness out of this. And it looks pretty good, I;m waiting in anticipation!

*doesn't remember seeing the second episode of S.O.S.*

It's not guarenteed but with the quality looking like a Madhouse work and the pedigree that the show has I can't see why it wouldn't beyond the problem of cost.

[Lonely Soldier Boy]

Loved the landing sequence of the NES 1 there. Great physics for those who like realism like me.

S.O.S? Sokoku no/o Strain? ...or whatever it was called.

No, it had the fighters and alien ships that went faster then Mach 13+ and fired energy loops.

[Fort Max]

Nope, completely missed that one.

[Black Valkyrie]

Starting to like it and the music. Bandai HG/MG kits please .

[chrono]

All right now that it's 4-3 how many hows do I have to wait for the raw?

I was doing a little referencing and found that Kawamori was a very busy person the last year and will be this year. Apparently he is also going to direct an original work called Space-Time Wars with Studio 4oC sometime in July 7-7!

[GRAND CANNON]

I agree. Looks and sounds good. And even though OPs are supposed to, I get a feeling the show will also be as good.

Any inside info on a group picking this up?

[UN Spacy]

I'd like to know as well.

I'm itching for a new mecha series now that E7 has been over for quite some time.

Pssst....Code Geass.

*PST!*

the raws are out...

[1/1 LowViz Lurker]

Thanks but I will wait for subs. Hopefully the quality of the animation is good! Can't wait to watch Macross Zero in tv form with a glaug!

[Necron_99]

sooo...what happened with this? was it any good?

[chrono]

*shrugs*

Don't know yet. (damn 56k dial-up) But I think that it got torpedoed by the 2 other mecha shows that came out as well. One by Gonzo and 1 by Xebec.

[azrael]

I have the raw. I've skimmed over it but it didn't look terribly impressive. Visuals look good at least. This is just the first episode but judging by the lack of talk from the Japanese end (talk on Futaba were pretty light back on Tuesday), I guess even Kawamori's designs couldn't help its premiere. If I get a chance, I'll actually sit down and watch the full episode by the weekend.

[bsu legato]

I'm halfway through DL'ing the first episode. I'll post some thoughts when I watch it.

OK, my thoughts:

It starts off interesting enough, with a pretty engrossing shipwreck. Then we cut to the main story, which seem to revolve around these swarms of bugs who have the ability to spawn huge monsters. Oh, and a magical dagger. I'll check out the inevitable fansub, but I can already see that I'll skip Kissdum.

I'll still check it out. I've found that first episodes usually aren't enough to judge.

[UN Spacy]

Agreed. I always give it at least several episodes.

Yeah I think I'll be skipping this one also. It's gonna be a short series anyways because of the sheer amount of 3D that they've been using just in the first 2 episodes is gonna put a big hole in their budget.

I did find it kinda neat how they are using pacific 'the ring of Fire' and hinted at the legend of the Mu via the dagger. However I found it horribly stereotypical with the 'base' similar in shape to several others. The pacing is nearly as bad because you never get a breath the entire show.

I seriously hope that Kawamori only did the designs and had nothing to do with the rest of the show.

[azrael]

AFAIK, he's only the mech designer on this series. This is suppose to be Yasuchika Nagaoka's show.

[Beltane70]

I just watched the raw. I know I'll probably be following the series. I personally thought this was a really good first episode. I can't wait for a subbed version to know exactly what's going on. I caught a few things here and there, but with my very limited Japanese, a lot was lost.

[Aegis!]

I think it´s in the best interest of every macross fan that Kissdum does well. Why ? because it´s the testing ground for the next Macross Series.

I´m pretty amazed by the graphics on the show so far, they easily matched those of Macross Zero at some point, I´m just eager to see what they´ll do for the next Macross.

Stoywise, it seemed pretty random, but in comparison to other shows of this seasson, it left me with a good impression, that goes for the characters as well.

Let´s just say it has A LOT more potential than Aquarion did in its time.

[UN Spacy]

Do fansubs usually take this long to show up?
