Renato Posted November 24, 2011 Posted November 24, 2011 The SCOOP thread in the Toys section disappeared, so I will put this here. Kawamori's Dualis is FINALLY getting released as a figure. http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B005SP6J5C/ref=cm_sw_r_fa_dp_7erXob12C760B Though with "Rinne no Lagrange" coming up very soon, who's gonna care about this thing now, that's my question.

Tochiro Posted November 29, 2011 Posted November 29, 2011 I went to Animax Musix last Wednesday which had May'n as one of its headlining artists, same as in previous years. Damn concert was 6 hrs long! (May'n had about 4 solo songs and 4 or 5 covers). Anyways, heres a pic of May'n at the event still rockin her short harido. M1.bmp And heres a group shot after the encore with all artists wearing concert tshirts. M2.bmp Original report in Japanese can be found here. Quote
Tochiro Posted November 30, 2011 Posted November 30, 2011 8 HOURS! 4 DVDs! ALL FUKUYAMA! (plus - Renato, Save and myself in the audience - not that you can see us, lol). Quote
sketchley Posted December 17, 2011 Posted December 17, 2011 Great Mechanics.DX 19, 2011 Winter issue, is out. Macross content: "Details to Design", a long-form interview with Ikeda Yukio (credited as Satelite's designer and chief modeller; also credited as doing Macross F's main Valkyrie modelling). Hashimoto Misaburo (credited as Satelite's CGI producer). And Yagishita Hiroshi (credited as Satelite's Chief Director). Mostly text (6 pages!), with a few 1/8 to 1/2 page images thrown in. Images are some of Ikeda-san's rough designs and how they appeared rendered in the movie, including: VF-25S, VF-27, Macross Quarter's head, Koenig Monster, YF-29 (colouring variations, fold quartz & gun pod), Battle Frontier, Vajra warships, & the Vajra Queen + Battle Frontier. Wish it was a bit bigger... ah well. Quote
Tochiro Posted December 19, 2011 Posted December 19, 2011 Some pics of merchandise that will be available at the Nyan festival on Jan 8th. First, a rather awesome hoodie (especially if you've seen Wings of Farewell) Secondly, a towel featuring those new Ebata costumes: Finally, if anyone is interested, the YOSHIKI FUKUYAMA 20TH Anniversary concert DVD has just gone on sale over at Amazon Japan. It's down from 9450yen to 6929yen. Quote
Tochiro Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Despite having K-on! on the cover, this months issue of Anime Style has not only articles on GitS Innocence. Go Nagai and Utena, it also features a fairly lengthy interview with Kawamori! Quote
Tochiro Posted December 25, 2011 Posted December 25, 2011 I made the trek down to Yokosuka to see Mari Iijima perform on the 23rd. Entrance poster. A shot inside the venue before the concert. Small, restaurant/live house. No matter where you were seated there was always a good view of the stage. Two pics from Mari's blog by the professional photographer who was there Quote
Tochiro Posted December 28, 2011 Posted December 28, 2011 Yet more Macross merchandise-related news! The goods list for the upcoming Nyan Festival in Yokohama on January 8 has been posted here: http://ftama.com/nyan_fes/goods.html Also, Chie Kajiura tweeted a pick of one of the Gubaba stickers that will apparently be available at the 2nd (annual?) Mylene Night Concert in February. Darn thing is too cute for words, lol. Quote
Kronnang Dunn Posted January 1, 2012 Posted January 1, 2012 I bet this has been posted before, but here it goes. I just discovered a countdown clock at the Bandai Channel Macross page... It marks 275 days until some big event related to the 30th Anniversary starts. Does anybody know what is this about? Quote

Einherjar Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 (edited) Wow. Thank goodness for BD region codes compared to DVD. Is it that expensive because it's a limited edition and the regular edition should be significantly cheaper? Edited January 6, 2012 by Einherjar Quote
Tochiro Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 Theres regular and 'Complete' versions. Details can be found here in English: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-01-05/1st-macross-series-gets-bd-box-with-pachinko-footage Current Amazon Japan preorder knocks 12,000yen off the price of the Complete version.

MacrossCN Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) NEW Macross project!!! http://www.macross30.com/ ＳＤＦ－１に続き、地球を出発して２９番目となる 新マクロス級移民船団マクロス２９（ツーナイン）は 銀河の果てに向かって、旅を続けている。 幸運にもとりたてて特筆すべき事件にも遭遇しないまま、 平穏に航行を続けてきた「マクロス２９」だったが 最近大きな恒星重力波の影響から居住区の１／４に損傷を受けた。 だがしかし、市民の懸命の努力により、そのエリアも現在復旧しつつある。 「ツーナイン」は船団条例によるフォールドエネルギー節約のため 他の船団との物流や情報交換は近距離に限られている。 船団の中にはさまざまな業態の、ビジネス・カンパニーが存在する。 イベント企画会社、音楽発売会社、映像発売会社、ゲーム製造会社、 玩具・模型会社、通販サイト、、、などなど。 そして西暦2062年 「２９（ツーナイン）」船団は地球発艦３０周年＝「マクロス３０ｔｈアニバーサリー」を 迎えたのであった。 Edited January 8, 2012 by MacrossCN Quote
MacrossCN Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Wait... What!? The Story of Macross 29（Two Nine）?? Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Is that a fan made site? My mind is full of ufck. Quote
Save Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 The site is legit today's event had a teaser trailer that said to keep checking that site for more details. Quote
Renato Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 (edited) So it seems that they are celebrating the 30th anniversary in-universe by having the Macross 29 fleet celebrate 30 years since its launch from Earth. I expect more Ranka/Sheryl concerts. Here is a summary of the description: The 29 (two-nine) was happily sailing along when it encountered an incident, and a 1/4 of its habitable area was damaged. Because of a mandate to regulate its fold energy, it has to limit its trade with other fleets to those in close vicinity. On the fleet there are plenty of content manufacturers such as video game companies and record companies etc. Anyway, here's the really important stuff I spotted: ■マクロス×渋谷パルコ マクロス３０周年記念エキシビジョン 2012年ゴールデンウィーク 開催予定！ There will be a Macross 30th Anni exhibition at Shibuya Parco during Golden Week. PS -- I meant to edit my first post but I pressed the wrong button and quoted it instead, making this double-post. Somebody please delete the first one! Edited January 8, 2012 by Renato Quote
Kelsain Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Sounds like something akin to FB2012 - which seems appropriate. Might get a new valk out of it, since Frontier was having it's 18th Miss Macross - so this could be a decade later. Personally, I think the field is still saturated with the descendants of the VF-24. And danger, I still want my 171! That silhouette reminds me of Mylene in her "incognito" getup. (null) Quote

Personally, I think the field is still saturated with the descendants of the VF-24. Transition from YF-29 to VF-29 or even a brand new YF-30 would be awesome!

Beltane70 Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Came across this while browsing in Akiba today - talk about a good deal! Damn, I'm jealous! Not that I can complain, though, since I paid 4200 yen for my copy a year ago. Quote
eugimon Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 no more 25 variants please. I want new designs! Quote
Einherjar Posted January 8, 2012 Posted January 8, 2012 Here's the background image from the site. Could this be the main colony of the 29th fleet? Quote
