Sulendil Ang Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Just my personal curiosity, Mr March and Zinjo, what's with the name calling between you two? Did you two have problems with (read: hate) each other? BTW, did anyone knows rumors of any major difference between the Deculture Edition of episode one with the 'normal' version of episode one? I knows about the Op and Ed, but I wonder will there be any change for animation or the storyline...
Save Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Did any MW'ers pick up the COSPA Macross Frontier shirts from Wonderfest? Hopefully these show up on HLJ.com like the previous (25th concert) ones did. Actually these shirts are not made by COSPA since only BANDAI has MacrossF merchandise locked down. These are limited and made by Big West. Only Sold at Wonder Fest, Currently being sold at Macross Queen DolcMacross featuring DOLCE Event in Akihabara and I was told will also be sold at Tokyo Anime Fair. They cost 3000 yen each. Today at Dolce they got in the new MacrossF version 2 poster. Take a look! There is also a AM/PM MacrossF promotion that just started they are selling two kinds of cream puffs. They are pretty big and heavy one is green tea and the other Im not sure but I liked it better than green tea one. Super sugar loaded!! Edited March 28, 2008 by SaveRobotech
Mr March Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 (edited) Graham Yeah, you definitely have priorities that should take precedence over the scanner thing. Plus, it's just a judgment call on your part about the image quality in the magazines too. I can't say one way or the other if it's worth a new scanner if the source images in the magazine are crap. Even a good scanner won't help in that case. It's just that looking at all the scans you done for the year and doing scanning myself, it seems like the scanner is not very good quality, even compared to a cheapy like mine. Regardless, your old scanner is getting the job done, so like I said, we can't complain Sulendil Ang Oh, the most spiteful of desires for which I yearn that you cannot know! Zinjack*** is my most hated archenemy on this message board. I find him extremely ugly. He emits a foul and unpleasant odor. I LOOOOOOATHE HIM!!!! It has long been my most coveted goal to one day rip the reigns of Macross World power from the clutches of Shawn and Graham to achieve but ONE end: the total and utter destruction, in tar and feathers, of that most putrid pond scum that is known only in the most blackest of words as...Zinjo! I will have his heart on a plate! His head on my desk! I will have him stripped naked and whipped through the streets of the capital at midday! Oh yes, my dearest onlookers, Zinjo's pancreas will be mine! MWUHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAaaaaa..... *cough, gag, choke* Edited March 26, 2008 by Mr March
Duke Togo Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 As we have repeatedly stated, the series starts on April 3rd (technically April 4th). Most likely, they will probably be re-airing episode 1 with completed openings and endings on that day. Now, if there aren't any scheduled or unscheduled interruptions, episode 2 will be the following week. Unfortunately, we don't have a clear idea of the schedule until next week. So I would check back next week to be sure. The radio show also states (something along the lines of "look for") that there will be some changes between the preview episode one and the actual episode one.
azrael Posted March 26, 2008 Author Posted March 26, 2008 It is showing on NHK? If so when? Sorry I can't remember where that was posted... ----->For Lazy people The radio show also states (something along the lines of "look for") that there will be some changes between the preview episode one and the actual episode one. You mean like opening and ending themes?
MacrossCN Posted March 26, 2008 Posted March 26, 2008 Today at Dolce they got in the new MacrossF version 2 poster. Take a look! Sheryl is so HOooooooooooooooooT~~~~~~~~~~~Orz
Strumvogel Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 The radio show also states (something along the lines of "look for") that there will be some changes between the preview episode one and the actual episode one. I think that's about some short inserted scenes in the first episode. Which brings it closer to the manga's version of the story.

I'm itching for one of those yellow shirts and black shirts.
azrael Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 What? The shirts cost HOW much? $3000? He probably means in Japanese yen, not US dollars. so ¥3,000 JPY (about $30 USD), not $3,000 USD. That better be the greatest T-shirt ever made to be sold at $3000 USD. Heck, I would expect it to have gold for the logo at that price...

That would be about $30, which is affordable. $3000 should have 24k gold stitching and come in a mahogany collector's box...

Zinjo Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Today at Dolce they got in the new MacrossF version 2 poster. Take a look! Dude! I love it! If you could somehow get a scan to post that would be truly awesome! The more I hear of the soundtrack the more I love it. It definitely has the same "heart" as SDFM's music and Mac Plus.
Sulendil Ang Posted March 27, 2008 Posted March 27, 2008 Zinjo: I still not get any of the SDFM or M+ vibe from the song yet, but maybe when the show is aired, I might have a change of mind. On the other hand, I hope the changes mentioned didn't including the decrease of animation quality. You know, the animation in Deculture Edition is so good, I begin to wonder if Kamawori and co. can even do such good animation for every single week.

You know, the animation in Deculture Edition is so good, I begin to wonder if Kamawori and co. can even do such good animation for every single week. It's one of those intangible things. Comparing the music one to another really doesn't describe it as much as the fact that it is quality appealing music the I can see myself listening to Maaya Sakamoto singing Sheryl Nome songs in my car or on my home stereo as opposed to just enjoying it in the episodes of the show. The SDFM music and the Macross Plus soundtrack give me the same sense of enjoyment. It will be interesting when the Ranka Lee character begins to blossom as a singer if the music will hold that appeal for me. The closing credits of the Deculture Edition with Megumi Nakajima singing Ai, Oboete imasu ka definitely left me intrigued (although I am now positive that Mari Ijima sang the harmony part in the song with Nakajima). Too bad it won't be the end theme for the actual series. http://scottd.wordpress.com/2008/02/29/sak...cross-frontier/
Graham Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Just picked up the new issue of Great Mechanics. As Kresphy had mentioned a few posts back, there's quite a long article on Macross Frontier. No new pics that we haven't seen already, but quite a lot of text. Hopefully somebody can translate it and there will be some interesting new info there. There's also quite a lot of lineart of older VFs in the 'VF History section'. Again nothing really new though that isn't already in other art books. Here's scans of the first 8 color pages. Some of the corners are a bit blurry unfortunately, from where the book moved when I was holding it down on the scanner to try and get it as flat as possible. Graham

Duke Togo Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I am still assuming there will be some other changes. And we'll get a new translation, to boot.
Mr March Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Oh, just look at all the potential text goodness. There has to be some good mecha trivia and maybe a few more statistics hidden in there. I can see many english numbers and terms like SMS scattered throughout. I hope someone can translate *gets ready to copy and paste for potential M3 profiles*

Wow, old tradition really dies hard. BTW, is all of Macross TV series feature at least a Miss Macross episode? I haven't seen Macross 7 yet.
Mark Nguyen Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 There was a contest in Macross 7, but I can't remember if it was of the Miss Macross variety. And it featured the hottest 49 year-old woman you'll ever see. Mark
Project Phoenix Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Macross always gotta have several elements to be "Macross-ish": a) Love triangle b) Transforming mechas c) Micro-missile swarm d) A singing lead or an idol I see these are already present in Frontier.
VFTF1 Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 The context in M-7 was to find a group of singers that the military could use in the manner of Basara, but without the trouble of having someone as insubordinate as Basara around... The result was the Jamming Birds .... And the contest was lots of fun... there was also a contest for pilots.... But I don't think either of them were labeled as Miss Macross contests --- since they weren't beauty pageants but just singing contests... VFTF1
azrael Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Miss Macross? Wow, old tradition really dies hard. If you read the manga, you'll know what that episode is about.

Graham If at all possible is there any chance of getting a good scan of the Macross F logo on second last scan and maybe on the last scan? Love that logo and it's almost pristine in the book at that resolution... I don't know if it is possible without cracking the spine of the book though...
