Mercurial Morpheus Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Yeah, Konishi was sort of forgotten. I guess that makes me a bad Ozma cosplayer. Are you saying he was actually supposed to die of the Pinecake? Quote
shiroikaze Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 I guess everyone's mostly May'n/Megumi fans because it hasn't been mentioned before, but in Konishi's panel (only panel I went to yay! XD), he talked about how he really wanted Ozma to live, and bugged and asked the producers (I think?) to even change the title of the episode so that he could have better chances of living. Everybody was like, 'awwwww' /salute Quote
isamu Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Yeah Megumi has great potential as a singer. You could tell she is very enthusiastic about singing in general. I do wonder though....why do you guys suppose the studio did not pick Maaya Sakamoto for the role of Ranka Lee? I mean she: A)Has worked with Kawamori before on Escaflowne B)Has worked numerous times with Yoko Kanno C)Has extensive experience as a voice actress and singer D)Sings the Macross Frontier theme song Triangler for Christs sake(and does it BEAUTIFULLY I might add). So I don't get it...why go with a relative unknown instead of an established talent like Maaya? Quote
Mercurial Morpheus Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Simply because that was the promo that they went with. I thought it was rather fitting given that it makes Megumi not unlike Ranka career wise. Why have a seasoned pro play a rising star? One could wonder just as much as to why they didn't use Aya's singing voice. Though I'm sure it's as simple as it not matching what they wanted, so they got May Nakabayashi. Though this is coming off topic. Any other AX thoughts? I finally talked to my friend and found that he was about 3 people behind the cut off point for Saturday's autographs. That, and he rode the elevator with them. Apparently, he explained that I was sick, hence why I didn't make it. So I got their regards at least. Quote

Apparently, he explained that I was sick, hence why I didn't make it. So I got their regards at least. I have to agree on why Megumi was chosen to do Ranka. I think the real lives of May'n and Megumi helped enhance the roles they played, and made the characters more lifelike. That's my opinion, and maybe something they saw when deciding. Besides, one good voice actress doesn't mean the voice they have fits the character they want. It's all in the casting. Quote
Jasonc Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) OK, here's a ton of pics of May'n. My wife has the camera for the pics of Megumi we got, unless she put them up already. Edited July 8, 2010 by Jasonc Quote
Mercurial Morpheus Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Sp there's my friend in one of your pics. Gotta love it. Thanks for the imagery. Quote
Jasonc Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Sp there's my friend in one of your pics. Gotta love it. Thanks for the imagery. In pic 173, there's a few of us in there from MW that I'm aware of. I'm in front with the white shirt. Quote
Reflex Point Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 OK, here's a ton of pics of May'n. My wife has the camera for the pics of Megumi we got, unless she put them up already. Unfortunately only three came out and they're not that very sharp. Posted them on the previous page. Quote
Mercurial Morpheus Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Well shadow member, "Dick Hunter" is definitely in two of them. Cool, cool. Quote

Jasonc Posted July 8, 2010 Posted July 8, 2010 Unforntunately, it's not playing. I went to the link, and clicked it, but after about 20 minutes, it never loaded at all. Quote
tweetychick630 Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Yeah, Konishi was sort of forgotten. I guess that makes me a bad Ozma cosplayer. Are you saying he was actually supposed to die of the Pinecake? Lol, poor Konishi xD but it's totally understandable. A lot of the questions were about super random/small/upcoming roles, but it was still a fun panel =). And I didn't quite catch the episode titling thing because it went by pretty fast, but apparently there is a Pine Apple or Pine Cake thing in Japan, and it means death? And the episode originally had that in the title, so he feared for Ozma's life. He kept bugging the producers/staff, and they eventually changed it to something more ambiguous, so he was like "whew," and felt safer =). I think there was another Macross question, about which was his favorite scene, but I can't quite remember the answer well enough to describe it xD Wah, panel pictures make me feel kinda bad xD. I made my brother go to May'n's panels because I was working to get the ticket, and I never ended up getting her autograph >o< And the video's playing for me! I wish I could've brought my camera and tried to abuse my powers as staff, lol, but I'm not that brave xD. The screens at the beginning saying 'No warning we will kick you out' were scary! My friend was "press" so he's going to send me at least 10 hopefully high quality photos that I can share, apparently press was able to take video of the first 20 minutes as well but he probably didn't.

UN Spacy Posted July 9, 2010 Author Posted July 9, 2010 I doubt I'll be attending AX2011 since it probably won't be as Macross-centric. But they are offering a special 4 day pass for $45 which lasts until Friday night. https://register.rcsreg.com/r2/anime2011/ga/top.html Quote
Save Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 Does anybody have a picture or know a site that has a picture of the audience before or during the concert? Quote
Mercurial Morpheus Posted July 9, 2010 Posted July 9, 2010 WOW, thank's Isamu! he also manged to get 4 of May'n's songs too, including Universal Bunny and Northern Cross, two of my favs. The only other recording I'd found was snippits, but these are full recordings. Nice. but apparently there is a Pine Apple or Pine Cake thing in Japan, and it means death? And the episode originally had that in the title, so he feared for Ozma's life. It's in reference to the original series episode "Pine Salad". Even I thought they might kill Ozma because of it. Hell of a troll. I know what you mean, UN Spacy. I've even got assurances who might go next year, but I tried to explain that it all depended on who was there. I can see my friends at more local cons, and since the staff shakeup, I hear this con wasn't too well run (like my friend just a few people behind you being kicked out of the autograph line at 5:50pm). So it really depends on who's there. Quote
Alex5 Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 hmm it's a week later and i still can't get over it. still got the songs going through my head. damn i wish there was replay. though the you tube clip was great got me all gitty again just listening to it even though you just see the backs of peoples heads lol. anyways have a great weekend. Quote
isamu Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 Yeah the youtube guys had some big cahonas for chancing it with that video LOL. I agree though, great clips. We'll see what Anime Expo 2010 brings.... Quote
punkr13 Posted July 10, 2010 Posted July 10, 2010 (edited) Hey there all (haven't been on this site in a long time >.<) Got some macross related stuff from this years AX May'N opening ceremonies video: May'N and a pic of her at the panel too may n Katsuyuki kunish opening ozma lee his message to the ax'ers Edited July 10, 2010 by punkr13 Quote
vic01 Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 I also attended AX 2010. Of course, just for Megumi and May'n. Watched the live concert and the performance was amazing! Too bad can't vid the concert, it was scary to try, as they will kick you out w/o warning! So I just have recorded the singing... I have pics of Megumi as the only panel session i attended. I even got almost the whole panel session in my iphone, i was sneaky, hehe as they won't allow video or taking pics while @ the session... here's a clip of getting the attention of Megumi and the autographs signed by her and May'n, was lucky to get both last July 3 before i left the expo... PS: I like megumi, so beautiful... Very charming and nice. :* I can also put a clip when she said she will like to sing in tagalog too as it is also her roots... vic01 Quote
isamu Posted July 11, 2010 Posted July 11, 2010 The next time AX brings a really really awesome guest I am dying to meet, I wonder if it would be worth trying to register as press, just so I could be permitted to take videos and photos? I mean, they get ALL of those perks all the time. Quote

Jasonc Posted July 13, 2010 Posted July 13, 2010 http://animediet.net/conventions/mayn-live-at-anime-expo-2010-video-excerpt Thanks for posting that up. Slowly, I've been getting piece by piece of the entire concert. Still missing the piano work of Yoko Kanno. Quote
Maiden Japan Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Some snaps at the lobby. There weren't many Macross cosplays this year(maybe I wasn't in the right place)enjoy! Quote
miriya Posted July 14, 2010 Posted July 14, 2010 Some snaps at the lobby. There weren't many Macross cosplays this year(maybe I wasn't in the right place)enjoy! Thanks for the nosebleed. Quote
shiroikaze Posted July 15, 2010 Posted July 15, 2010 Might as well unload what photos I have too. Someone actually brought Yuu Asakawa a bouquet during the autograph session, it was pretty neat. I'm considering whether or not I should unload the stuff I found from 4chan. The people there snapped up some pretty good photos. From there I found out about this: Deadpool vs Red Ranger (in its entirety) Quote
UN Spacy Posted July 16, 2010 Author Posted July 16, 2010 I still can't find a clip of Nakajima singing Voices. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NfLrl8B6ONI Quote
Char350 Posted July 17, 2010 Posted July 17, 2010 I had a blast at this year! I very much enjoyed the concert (sat very close to the front) and attended both the panels for May'n, Megumi, and Konishi. I somehow got all of their autographs despite some crazy mobs there. My friend is a huge May'n fan so he after getting autographs and seeing the concert, he can die happy. My friend took some really nice pictures of the concert, check'em out: http://epii.info/anime/2010-Anime-Expo/ Quote
Jasonc Posted July 26, 2010 Posted July 26, 2010 For all those that went to the Macross concert, did anyone get pics of the fans in attendance? If you have some, can you please post them up here? Thanks. Quote
Fortress_Maximus Posted August 4, 2010 Posted August 4, 2010 Those are some great pics from AX! Thanks all and please continue to post more pics and/or links to vids you shot or feel are worth watching from AX. Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 18, 2010 Author Posted August 18, 2010 (edited) I finally found a clip where Nakajima sang Voices. It's at marker 4:30. Edited August 18, 2010 by UN Spacy Quote
isamu Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 I finally found a clip where Nakajima sang Voices. It's at marker 4:30. Is there a vid of the full concert uploaded anywhere? All these bits and pieces but nothing of the whole thing? Quote
Jasonc Posted August 18, 2010 Posted August 18, 2010 Thanks for that link. So, nobody who went has pics of the audience? Trying to put something together. If you do, could you post it here, or pm me a link? Thanks for your help. Quote
