taksraven Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 (edited) not the triangle resolution again... What triangle resolution? When did that happen......? :lol: Taksraven (BTW, and I know that I have been partly responsible for stuffing this up myself, but I think that if we work hard at it we can take this thread even further off-topic, how about it??)

Gubaba Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 You really do have a death wish don't you... Why? What's wrong with talking about KLANG KLANG? KLANG KLANG is your favorite character, isn't she? So why all the hate for KLANG KLANG? KLANG KLANG is cool!
Mr March Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Trouble maker We should make a demotivator about "Klang". Like the Captain America one. "Klang - I command you to!"
Morpheus Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Can we stop teasing KlangForever about this? Although he should be happy that the new movie will revolve around Klan. Which reminds me to an important fact that probably most of you guys forget, most heroine in Maacross series can sing, so the new Frontier Movie will probably featuring a singing Klang-Klang!
azrael Posted January 14, 2009 Author Posted January 14, 2009 most heroine in Maacross series can sing, so the new Frontier Movie will probably featuring a singing Klang-Klang! My virgin ears.... The fact that Megumi Toyoguchi has only so many singing credits to her name probably says something...
ChrisG Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Since you are not interested in the complaints of the "raging fanbase", I wonder how I should rank your perceptions of said fanbases complaints in that era. I was quite active in BtVS fandom back then, and remember the flamewars well. I recall there being complaints about season 6 when it was airing. There will always be complaints about any show. But you make it sound like there was a universal rejection of the show by "the fans" which is simply not true and something I don't believe. To bring this back on topic with a Macross example, I think people on forums have a problem of scale when it comes to the reception of a show. Just because you visit a couple of forums where a lot of people are having flame wars about a show, it doesn't translate to a massive repudiation of that show in ratings/sales across the country or the world. With Macross Frontier as an example, you had 4chan's /m/ forum raging about the show constantly since the beginning. To hear it from some of those people, Frontier is the worst piece of garbage ever put to film and not worthy of any merit. I've seen the same kind of complaints from very biased pro-Robotech people. But the arguments of these two segments of fans hardly translates to a widescale rejection of the series.
Graham Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Stay on topic please. This is not the place to discuss Buffy the freakin' vampire slayer, Ewoks, Gungans, lightsaber duels, James Cameron or George Lucas! Graham

Forget the singing. Megumi Toyoguchi has more range than that... ...see what I mean? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpTpm1SS2hU
edwin3060 Posted January 14, 2009 Posted January 14, 2009 Forget the singing. Megumi Toyoguchi has more range than that... ...see what I mean? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpTpm1SS2hU Yes.... X_X

Megumi Toyoguchi has more range than that... ...see what I mean? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpTpm1SS2hU Wow, that was so awkward it makes the voice you hear for phone recordings sound positively naturalistic in comparison. Course her english is probably better than my Japanese...

Valkyrie addict Posted January 16, 2009 Posted January 16, 2009 only problem for me with buffy in the later seasons was that she got f*cking skinny and ugly, she was so cute in the beginning ok, on topic... I say that Kawamori has never take into consideration what fan say, after SDFM, he was so fedd up about people asking about Hikaru and Misa that he had pretty much left to say that they died a horrible day, in Macross 7 he did whatever he wanted, as well as Zero, and Plus and Frontier.... so I'm pretty sure he'll do in the movie whatever he envisioned in the first place...
Tobi54 Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Just copying over this post from Westlo from the AnimeSuki forums, because I am so happy that Macross Frontier seems to be doing so well. : Great news! thanks for sharing. I'm sure it could have been doing just as well in America if released, too bad
Xeros Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Just for ask those numbers includes international sales, or it's just Japan?
Strumvogel Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Just for ask those numbers includes international sales, or it's just Japan? They are only on sale in Japan in the first place. Now how many of those went overseas through the online stores we may never know. Somehow I don't think the production and DVD companies care that much to go into that much detail, just the overall numbers to make themselves look good.
sketchley Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Got around to picking up the Newtype #2 (February 2009) issue. Re: the movie: Title: Macross F Theatrical Version (temporary (name)) Release: Planned for public release in 2009. Kinda underwhelming, eh?

edwin3060 Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Looks like it's being marketed on her fame from Macross Frontier... heh.
Gubaba Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Looks like it's being marketed on her fame from Macross Frontier... heh. Well OF COURSE it is...she had three singles that went nowhere, but then her Macross stuff jumped into the top 5. I'd capitalize on it, too! (And those albums are being sold in Akihabara.) For me at least, while Yoko Kanno is the primary reason why Frontier's music is so good, May'n and Megumi Nakajima were excellent choices to do the singing, and the songs wouldn't be half as good without them. I mean, I like Maaya Sakamoto a lot, too, but I can't imagine "Iteza Gogo Kuji Don't Be Late" sung by her...May'n MAKES that song.

I really like Maaya Sakamoto's Ame ga Furu in Linebarrel of Iron though.
sketchley Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Going by the latest Newtype, all three have new albums being released. Though, of the three, only Sakamoto is being plugged with no connection to Macross F. May'n and Nakajima... well, they're new albums are one-third of the Macross F article in the issue...

mike_s_6 Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Ooooh, and she's got a full album coming out in March...Cool. That's actually a live DVD from her May'n Act tour

Though, of the three, only Sakamoto is being plugged with no connection to Macross F. May'n and Nakajima... well, they're new albums are one-third of the Macross F article in the issue... Hmmm...that's strange. Maaya Sakamoto's new album opens with a vocal version of Frontier BGM, and it also has her (exquisite) version of "Blue Aether." And of course, it has "Triangler" on it. So it's not what you would call an album saturated in Frontier, but the links are there. By the way, I'm listening to "May'n Street" right now, and it's pretty damn good so far. I'm only on track three, but so far it sounds like a nice blend of the R&B sound of her earlier singles with the pop/rock/disco Sheryl sound.

Renato Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 :lol: Thanks, Sketchley. I say if you come dressed as a member of Fire Bomber, you should get automatic entrance into any event you want. Well, that should be de facto for any day of the year, let alone a Macross Launch Ceremony.
Gubaba Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 :lol: Thanks, Sketchley. Well, that should be de facto for any day of the year, let alone a Macross Launch Ceremony. Yes, yes it should. So should marching around Akiba singing "Tostugeki Loveheart." (I saw a youtube video showing that about a year ago...unfortunately, I can't seem to find it now... )
Mr March Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 must... add... to... lame list... http://jp.youtube.com/watch?v=k0VGcbnOaQ4 Omg, was that Kim Thayil? Hilarious
sketchley Posted January 21, 2009 Posted January 21, 2009 Maybe I'm dating myself by saying this... yeah, members of Soundgarden. In order to not derail this from Macross, see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almost_Live! for further info. Funny stuff, much better than Saturday Night Live (which it aired after).
