wm cheng Posted August 22 Posted August 22 Is this region protected and can only play in Asian Blu-Ray players? or does it say anything about "All-Regions"? Quote
Master Dex Posted August 23 Posted August 23 It's listed as region free where I bought it. Besides Japan and US are on the same BD region code (I don't know about every country though). Quote
MKT Posted September 27 Posted September 27 Another interview with Kawamori: https://www.animeherald.com/2024/09/25/the-master-of-mecha-shoji-kawamori-talks-with-anime-herald/ Quote: “But the one thing that bothered me about the car robots… I had fun developing how they would transform, but there are all of these slight paradoxes in the design of the robots. In the robot the car seat would disappear. Where would the engine go? That always bothered me, so when I designed the Valkyries for Macross, I always kept in mind that everything would exist physically in the robot as well.” I never really thought this way before, but I guess this is a large reason why valks are so appealing as transformable mecha.

guyxxed Posted September 30 Posted September 30 Fully agree with that. I remember when I first saw a VF-1 thinking "it still looks like a plane" even when in battroid mode. Most other transforming mechs, both before and since, have a tendency to look blocky and have compromises to favor what they look like in robot mode. Kawamori's Macross designs have always prioritized thier primary function first, and that grounds them in reality (or, at least, a version of it) in a way that most other designs aren't. Doesn't hurt that he's a genius mechanical designer, either. Quote

Bolt Posted October 2 Posted October 2 Awesome. But, I'm confused. Who's getting married there?? Is this a Macross multi-verse? Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted October 2 Posted October 2 (edited) 36 minutes ago, Bolt said: Awesome. But, I'm confused. Who's getting married there?? Is this a Macross multi-verse? No, it's just a reference to one of the iconic scenes in the movie. During Hikaru and Minmay's date (the one that ends with them going for a joy ride in a VT-1) one of the places they visit is a sort of holographic cosplay boutique with a room full of circular projectors that, when stood on, project a holographic costume over the person. In that boutique, they both jump through several different sets of projectors which put them in various themed costumes. The final set of projectors they land on in that scene put the two of them in a wedding dress and a wedding suit like those in that art. Edited October 2 by Seto Kaiba Quote

Shawn Posted October 26 Posted October 26 Clay figures? Not quite sure what these are looks like 11 of them around 4000 yen each, so thats a hefty price to get them all https://x.com/search?q=劇場公開40周年記念 超時空要塞マクロス 愛・おぼえていますか展&src=typed_query Quote
Shawn Posted October 26 Posted October 26 As clay figures, I wonder how any of them would survive the trip overseas Quote

Shawn Posted November 14 Posted November 14 It appears as if the figures almost completely sold out And considering that the last one heavily in stock is the Cannon Fodder VF-1A, Bandai is probably seeing that and will never release the DX VF-1A CF. 😛 Quote

It would be nice if it were the new series and maybe the announcement that Macross is finally releasing on Disney Plus! Three Body Universe is a Chinese company that was set up to own and manage the intellectual property rights to Liu Cixin's 2006/2008 science fiction novel Three Body Problem , overseeing the various adaptations thereof incl. the 2023 Chinese TV series and 2024 Netflix series. If he's making an announcement in partnership with Three Body Universe, it's not a Macross announcement. The book that Kawamori is holding is a copy of one of the books in that trilogy... I can't read it clearly enough to tell which one. Looks like it might be the third one, Death's End. Edited Thursday at 11:43 PM by Seto Kaiba Quote
seti88 Posted Friday at 04:20 AM Posted Friday at 04:20 AM (edited) Tin foil hat theory....the pulse in three body universe is coming from megaroad 1....🤪 context: i am still reading book 1 and refraining to watch the netflix series ending until i finish book 1..
