Tochiro Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I see a podcast report in your future.... ;-) Quote
antibiotictab Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 There's also going to be a Macross display at the Sapporo Snow Festival next year (2016). If anyone's in town to see it, drop me a line! It's so hard for us to reserve the hotel rooms during the Yukimatsuri, right? I am looking forward to your report and some Japanese fans' twit. Quote
Jefuemon Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 It's so hard for us to reserve the hotel rooms during the Yukimatsuri, right? I am looking forward to your report and some Japanese fans' twit. Probably. We do get about 2 million people coming in to visit. Maybe if you booked now? Quote
antibiotictab Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Probably. We do get about 2 million people coming in to visit. Maybe if you booked now? Already it's January now. IIRC, if I wanted to visit the matsuri, I should have booked a room at least in October or November. I used to stay in Sapporo for a week at the end of the year about 5 to 15 years ago. The city is covered with snow and the scenery is so different from that in Tokyo and Yokohama. I used to be surrounded by the exotic atmosphere there. I loved and miss it. Quote
Tochiro Posted January 22, 2016 Posted January 22, 2016 The lineup for this years annual Super Robot Spirits concert in April has been revealed and the artist line up on day two includes: Yoshiki 'Basara' Fukuyama Hiroko 'Ishtar' Kasahara and, flying in all the way from the US, Mari 'Minmay' Iijima! Given that this is the year of a new Macross series, could it be that we are going to get a few more Macross songs than usual this year? As usual, the SpeakerPODcast will have boots on the ground representin'! http://www.mmjp.or.jp/birthday/2016_srs.html Quote
Renato Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Boom, new Blu-rays just came out today! And that, friends, concludes the Macross Movies BD collection. And I am happy to announce that the new DYRL Blu-ray has had the previously-censored violent scenes RESTORED! Hooray for ultra-violence, it's what everyone wants out of Macross! Do You Remember Gore? Edited January 29, 2016 by Renato Quote
Scyla Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 The three pillars of Macross: Gore Grit and Destroids! Those are some nifty blu-ray boxes. Quote
Bub Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 About the DYRL? Blu-ray. How many versions does it have and what are the differences? I heard/read something about a Regular version, a Tsuataya version and an Amazon Japan version. Is this true? Quote
Jefuemon Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Macross at the Sapporo Snow Festival. Looks like they're going to have a merch booth, too. Guess where I'll be going?? Quote
wmkjr Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Some Wonder Festival 2016 Winter info. Got some Delta Merch, too bad they don't have those tees in XXL! Quote
Tochiro Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Day of release and the only Macross movie that is completely sold out is the only one I was after - Macross 7 The Galaxy is Calling Me! Aaaaarggghhh!!! Never underestimate the power of Mylene Jenius' birthday! (2/2) Quote
Tochiro Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 Cospa is releasing two new Macross Plus tshirts this March. 2900yen (+tax) each. Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 OMG...I need that Sharon Apple shirt! Please tell me these will be available at places like AmiAmi or HLJ. Quote

Tochiro Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Preparations for the Macross entry in the Sapporo Snow Featival are currently underway (from Twitter). Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 The Cospa Sharon Apple and Macross Plus shirts are up for preorder at Ami. http://slist.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?gcode=GOODS-00072880 I assume Japanese sizing though. Anyone know how Cospa stuff fits? Quote
McFly!! Posted February 3, 2016 Posted February 3, 2016 ^ agree. Gap M or Lacoste 4 roughly = Cospa L imo Quote
Jefuemon Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Looking good! Going tomorrow after Japanese class, then again on Sunday with my wife. Small camera tomorrow, nice one on Sunday. Quote
Jefuemon Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 First shots from Sapporo: Yep, lots of people stopping to check it out! Quote
antibiotictab Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 The title of the statue is Macross Delta, not SDFM... The official site was revised this morning and there are many things to tell you, but no one has not written the news yet. Some of them. Other 2 brand-new songs will be revealed at the Wonder Fest. The new official Delta related (not exclusive) fan club will be founded from the March 1st. It is now an official fan club, and it will become Delta oriented one. A Delta related event will be held at anime Japan 2016 on March the 26. 4 Delta comics will be published on 4 magazines simultaneously. Delta will be broadcast from April including Tokyo MX and BS 11. Detailed info will be written, I guess. Quote

Scyla Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 Neat (the upper row). I really hope Bandai considers S.H.Figuarts of the idols. Quote
Zinjo Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 This could be the beginning at a serious effort to bring Macross into a more mainstream franchise market to compete with Gundam. This is the fastest we've ever seen a new production come to screen and it is a series to boot! Typically a series has been followed by a movie then an OVA or two. Series' have been about a decade between productions. Quote
Jefuemon Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Some new models coming out. Storm Attack DYRL SDF-1, Gerwalk VF-1D with Minmei in peril figure, plus a 1/20 scale VF-1! Quote
wmkjr Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Anyone know if they're gonna release the song Love! Halation THE WAR yet? Quote
Tochiro Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Alrighty, heres all the Macross-related pics I took at Wonder Festival today. Enjoy :-) http://www.macrossworld.com/wonder-festival-2016-winter-photo-gallery/ Quote
antibiotictab Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Some additional pics of today. VF-25 paper craft. The MDE arms and decal sets. Quote
Marzan Posted February 7, 2016 Posted February 7, 2016 Alrighty, heres all the Macross-related pics I took at Wonder Festival today. Enjoy :-) http://www.macrossworld.com/wonder-festival-2016-winter-photo-gallery/ Awesome pictures. Thanks! They might have spoiled Hayate Immelmann's future as a Valkyrie pilot there. But hey, it's not like we couldn't work it out anyway, right? Quote
