I think they should get Happatai instead of an idol. Then the theme song for the show could be Yatta. They could even fly VF-19s with fig leaves painted on the abdomen! What a happy song!

What? Oh am I about 5 years late with that joke? Sorry. I just discovered Yatta the other day and thought it was amazing.

I hope they go in a different direction than whats already been done in terms or the intro and outro. They've done 80's pop and fast paced rock, i'd like something akin to the music in the openings of Witch Hunter Robin or Ergo Proxy. But, it all depends on the target audience (i just hope it doesn't have a Gundam SEEDish opening)

I remember someone at AX last year mentioned that her and Kawamori decided not to work together anymore. Hope that person is dead wrong :(

You mean after their work on Aquarion?

The new OVA was just released a few days ago and Yoko Kanno is still listed as part of the cast.

His music was unique, you just don't hear stuff like that today.

RIP Kentaro. You'll be missed. :(

Wow, I read he was the Supervising Producer and Mechanical designer and that was it.

Story supervisor is no surprise, he's held that type of title for all but one of the Macross productions.

Personally I wonder how many of those titles are like "Executive Producer" credits here which mean "bigger paycheck" and nothing else. Executive director could simply mean he get's final say on what the actual Korean directors animate. Plus the fact that I'm sure if his name is attached to any Macross property it will guarantee a certain amount of fan interest.

Maybe I'm being a Pollyanna, but I am hoping he is allowed to go back to the roots of the series with character driven SF drama like we saw in SDFM and Plus.

Macross 25, huh? Well that could just be another emigration fleet story like 7, only with Macross 25 fleet in the 2050's or 2060's era... I'm curious

The label "Macross 25" is probably the working title/generic title until the official announcement (like "Batman Begins 2", or "Rocky VI"). If I start hearing people call it Macross 25... :angry::ph34r:

Mecha Designer...like no one saw that coming. Kawamori being Executive Producer is no big deal, somewhat expected actually. Hopefully, we have a good director coming on board.

Indeed. :mellow:

I just hope he stays away from the tree-hugging magical-girl macross-less themes. He can keep the lolicon stuff thou. :lol:

I had really hoped that he would only be at most an adviser & mech designer. :mellow:

As long as he doesn't pull any "We are the world." stuff...

Hopefully there will be singing plants and cute furry aliens and rocks that float, with valks that have transformer style faces on them. The valks will combine like the legioss and tread to form a four-legged gerwalk mode that looks like a sony aibo dog. Japan will love it! :D Make it have lots of bright coloured mecha and have the ships transform into a giant minmay doll that sings to fight aliens who go crazy because the same song is used every episode. One ship is minmay's right leg, the other ship is the left leg, and the other two form each arm, and a final one is the chest and hips. So it will be like aquarion but on a massive scale. Dr Chiba is the captain of the ship after the military realise how helpless they are against PD.
