Grabbed these myself yesterday. To anyone else who is thinking of doing the same, each volume includes 2 of the old Tankobons, so they are pretty darn huge!

Grabbed these myself yesterday. To anyone else who is thinking of doing the same, each volume includes 2 of the old Tankobons, so they are pretty darn huge!

Are there any changes to the story or to the art, or any bonus material?

[Gubaba]

I just picked up Volume 5 of the Frontier manga (as well as the repackaged Macross 7 Trash volumes 1 & 2...and it's ONLY a repackage. Nothing new in it at all), and THANK GOODNESS the burning unresolved question at the end of Frontier FINALLY gets an answer:

Yep, both of Nanase's eyes are intact, and she's fine.

[DeeBot]

Huh? It looks to me like they had to remove both her eyes, just leaving slits. Maybe they'll make an exception for her and allow her to get bionic ones to replace them.

Ah c'mon who the hell are the cyborgs? That's an important question.

My bad...

[Gubaba]

Just dropped by Kinokuniya this evening and picked up the Ranka book and the False Diva Guide Book (which is more like a "Guide Magazine," but whatever). I haven't cracked it open yet...

The Ranka book, though, is a lot of fun. And has month and day for pretty much every episode of Frontier, for those of you who are timeline-minded.

I'm curious now how long the series was start to finish, if you could? I remember seeing some events pinned to days in the character blogs, but that was just a piece at a time. Not that I was timeline-minded at all before seeing those.

Sheryl's Frontier Concert was March 2. And Macross Galaxy was defeated in September (no days given).

Hey, she's got very nice. What were we talking about again?

http://www.futabasha.co.jp/booksdb/book/bo...75-46449-8.html

Great Mechanics.DX 11 is out, and has 4 page article on the Macross F movie.

1st two pages are on the VF-25 Tornado pack. Sadly, there is no hard stats, but there are descriptions of the major components (revolving style engine pods, high manuverability verniers, etc.). There's some nice top/front/side images of it too, that are sweet.

There's also a paragraph on the changes to the VFs other than Aruto's.

The last two pages are about the changes, in general, to Macross F in the movie. There's a nice, but small, image of the revised Macross Quarter in battroid (?( mode as well as the new Vajra stage (they describe it as having a preying mantis shape).

This 超激アツ演出集DVD is probably closer to what you're looking for. I've seen people willing to bid quite a bit for this disk, so it has to have something of worth on it.

[MastaEgg]

That looks really different from the DVDs I'm been seeing

[veffidas]

That's because it's a different disc. What you have pictured is what is inside the one the clamshell case that is pictured below (as you can see from your picture), which Gubaba has already translated as the Promotion DVD. Tochiro already said he picked one of these up, so he may be able to tell us what's inside.

There have been other promotional discs for the pachinko game, as well.

However, the one that I listed earlier is the only one I've seen people will to shell out $30-40 standalone for. Perhaps Gubaba might be willing to translate the title of that DVD.

Hmmm...I had to look up "激アツ" ("Geki-atsu") on Google, since my dictionaries didn't have it...

The title is "Super 'Geki-atsu' Production Version," but from what I can tell, "Geki-atsu" refers to winning money (or "not-money, really, since gambling is illegal in Japan *wink wink*). So I believe it's a disc that gives you tips on how to BEAT the game, not anything about the footage IN the game...
