Sulendil Ang Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Wow, for a rather rare time of moment, the Chinese forums gets the facts right. There is a Movie version of Macross F coming soon.
whispo Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Let's hope the movie isnt a compact version of the series, but the continuation of the story ... i want my love triangle resolved >(. Alto you dumb fool why couldn't you just rush over to Sheryl and tell her you love her?
sketchley Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 The text of the add says: "Macross F Theatrical Edition Start" With the double orange rings. Refrence to how much they've completed? Bobby's main gun charging? A secret message indicating the month and date of release?
Kronnang Dunn Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Wow, for a rather rare time of moment, the Chinese forums gets the facts right. There is a Movie version of Macross F coming soon. I kinda knew it... When was going to be released according to those forums?
Morpheus Posted September 25, 2008 Posted September 25, 2008 Let's hope the movie isnt a compact version of the series, but the continuation of the story ... i want my love triangle resolved >(. Alto you dumb fool why couldn't you just rush over to VF-25F and tell her you love her? fixed
grss1982 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Macross F Movie confirmed in after episode commercial!!! It's been also confirmed here: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-...movie-announced YACK DECULTURE!!!!
Wes Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I'm confused. I thought there was supposed to be 28 episodes?
Graham Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I'm confused. I thought there was supposed to be 28 episodes? It's generally been known for a few months now that it was going to be 25 eps. Graham
Mr March Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Yummy movie time, here we come! Fantastic news!
Graham Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I really hope the movie is all new footage, not a clip compilation show using existing footage. However, If they want to retell the story, ala DYRL I'm fine with that as long as it's all new footage. Of course, a movie showing what happens after the events of episode 25 would be best IMO. I wanna see an Ozma and Cathy wedding. I really hate those compilation clip movies that Sunrise like to do for the Gundam TV series, I find them completely unwatchable. Tried to watch the Turn A clip compilation movies, and it was like WTF, they were just jumping from scene to scene really fast and nothing made sense, no continuity at all. Graham
Vegas Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 wow these means, new movie toy valks and etc great news!

Graham Its not just Sunrise. Gainax does it. Heck even Kawamori did it with the last Aquarion. If its anything like the Aquarion movie/OVAs, it will be an alternate retelling but i really doubt it.
Graham Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Where the Aquarion OVAs and Movies all new footage, or recyled animation? Graham
Zinjo Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 It could be like Dynamite. A new story with the same characters...
Kronnang Dunn Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) I updated wikipedia with the information regarding the upcoming Macross Frontier Movie... Perhaps it will be released on February 2009 as a tribute of sorts to the original SDF Macross? Maybe it could involve a mission with the Quarter looking for Macross Galaxy's main Island? Grace and the Macross Galaxy executives could still be there... So many possibilities... Btw... I believe this image meant that 3/4 parts of the movie are done...

capt_macdougal Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 wow these means, new movie toy valks and etc great news! Maybe Big West can give the movie license to Yamato?
OmegaD3k Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Maybe Big West can give the movie license to Yamato? Now THAT is a GREAT idea. In all seriousness, how much are we willing to bet that the "movie" edition will be nothing more than a recut of specific episodes, with very little new animation, much like with the Macross Plus movie? To expect the MacF movie to be like DYRL and feature nothing but new animation is expecting too much. Edited September 26, 2008 by OmegaD3k

To expect the MacF movie to be like DYRL and feature nothing but new animation is expecting too much. I'm expecting it to be more like "Macross 7 the Movie - The Galaxy is Calling Me", only full feature length, actually. A side story with the existing characters, essentially five or so anime episodes worth of animation with somewhat higher than normal production values. Should be doable in months if they planned to do this from the start.

To expect the MacF movie to be like DYRL and feature nothing but new animation is expecting too much. To be quite fair, the added footage in Mac+ made Guld's engagement with the Ghost a whole lot more awesome and emotional.
Graham Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Just received my Frontier DVD # 2 from amazon jp and it comes with two free badges, one the SMS emblem and one Ozma's emblem. See attached pic. Graham
Nexx Stalker Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Where the Aquarion OVAs and Movies all new footage, or recyled animation? Graham The two OVAs were completely new footage. I t was actually soooo much better than the series. I didn't know there was also a movie. Edited September 26, 2008 by Nexx Stalker
Sergorn Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 The two OVAs were completely new footage. I t was actually soooo much better than the series. I didn't know there was also a movie. AFAIK the movie is pretty much the two OAVs back to back. There was also an humourous short film shown with it. -Sergorn
Tobi54 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I really hope they dont rush this, I'm hoping this is as good or better than comparable projects from different animation houses.
terry the lone wolf Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 OMG!!! Please be a continuation and not a re-cut/retelling of Mac F. From the ending alone it shows this is not the end.
wolfx Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Where the Aquarion OVAs and Movies all new footage, or recyled animation? Graham Aquarion movies were combination of the 2 OVAs. They featured an alternate telling of the tv series and its all new animation. Its like DYRL? for Aquarion. I really doubt the Frontier movie will be like this though.
UN Spacy Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Would you guys like a time skip in the movie? Let's say they advanced the story by two years and Alto is already with ______________.
aerocombatpilot Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Would you guys like a time skip in the movie? Let's say they advanced the story by two years and Alto is already with ______________. Yes I would! And I would like to see some new characters appear, and certain old characters NOT re-appear.
Valkyrie addict Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I would like the movie to be about any of these... 1. Prequel, what happened on 117th, Grace rise to insanity and Sheryl rise to stardom 2. Sidestory of another character (Machida?) with alternate retelling of Frontier 3. Aftermath of the series and colonization with coexistance with the Vajra 4. Find out what really happened to Megaroad-01 5. Solve the damn triangle, I accept Alto not being the one picked between Sheryl and Ranka, haha

After all these years, I think people are just going to have to accept that the Megaroad issue will remain a mystery forever. Also, given that there's been so much mystery around the Megaroad, even if Kawamori decided to revisit it, whatever he does would probably be a disappointment after so many years of anticipation and speculation. It's just better left as a mystery we'll never learn the truth of.

Jokes aside, the Movie will follow the adventures of Captain Bobby Margot and his all-male bridge rabbits! Edited September 26, 2008 by Nexx Stalker
Valkyrie addict Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 why give us a tease with Bilrar hoping to meat Minmei with no explanation... c'mon! Kawamori you troll! hahahha
