Keith Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 Don't care, want it anyway, it couldn't possibly be worse than the SEED or SEED DESTINY movies. Quote
westfall Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 (edited) Yamato 2199 - A Voyage to Remember is a compilation film so its not meant to be a cinematic masterpiece in terms of plot. If you want that watch the series. This is meant as a primer for those who haven't seen the series yet but want to get the jist of it before watching Ark of the Stars. The fact the movie ends as Yamato leaves Iscandar (with the rest of the voyage as an in credits montage) is not innocent, as it leads right in to the part of the story where Ark takes place. All in all, though the plot is striped to a minimum, the eye candy still makes it a good view. Even if just to spot those new cuts that were added. Believe me, i've seen movies that are a lot worse, even not being compilations. If you want a sci-fi movie with plot... stick to Interstellar or just power-watch the series. It only takes 10 hours to watch. Edited November 15, 2014 by westfall Quote
technoblue Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I'm passing on both the 2199 compilation movie and MegaHouse's first release of Yurisha. At the moment, there are too many other things competing for my play-time money and I cannot justify fitting either of these into the budget. And I'm just guessing, but I believe an accurate version of Yurisha will be released by MH or some other company. I'll wait for that one. Quote
myk Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 They got Yurisha's face and ditzy personality down with that "finger to the face" pose, so my personal criteria are met. Besides; if I wanted a truly accurate Yurisha I'd head to Iscandar... Quote

Besides; if I wanted a truly accurate Yurisha I'd head to Iscandar... Hm. Ditzy is not a word I would use to describe Yurisha's personality. I guess that is the difference here. In my personal mythology 2199 improves on the old series, which had only two Iscandar sisters with very basic characterizations: Starsha and Sasha. In 2199, Sasha's original role is split among two characters. And I thought Yurisha was more of the intelligent alien. A Klaatu-like pragmatist foil to Starsha's political idealist, especially when it came to giving humans access to advanced technology. I'm glad you like the figure, though. It's not my style and does not fit with my personal criteria. Edited November 15, 2014 by technoblue Quote
Keith Posted November 15, 2014 Posted November 15, 2014 I swore I was done with these figures after Nimi, but sure enough I have Floght Suit Yuki & Yurisha on order... Quote
derex3592 Posted November 16, 2014 Posted November 16, 2014 Well there went some Xmas present $$$.....oops.... Quote
treatment Posted November 18, 2014 Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) latest from http://toysdaily.com/discuz/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=230793&extra=page%3D1&page=1 Yuki is always nice, but Starsha's terribly meh. Bandai really needs to up their figures-offerings against MH... Edited November 18, 2014 by treatment Quote

Anyway, I found my new 2199 dream girl Saijo Miki's figure; I can't WAIT for her to get here! Quote
Hikaru Ichijo SL Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 I really what to start getting the 2199 Blurays which version should I be getting. I am worried if I get the Star Blazers version I might have to buy the later Japanese versions anyway to get the remainder. Quote

Your choice is simple: the Star Blazers run of blu rays have effectively been canceled, so your only other choice is the Japanese stuff... Quote
renegadeleader1 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Your choice is simple: the Star Blazers run of blu rays have effectively been canceled, so your only other choice is the Japanese stuff... and where would I buy the Japanese stuff? Quote
Vifam7 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 and where would I buy the Japanese stuff? Amazon Japan. All Yamato 2199 Blu-rays are 30% off currently. Get it while the Japanese yen is weak! Quote
myk Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 How do you mean? Isn't that the first Yuki release? Quote
treatment Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Other than possibly a bit darker golden yellow (camera/lighting trick), don't really spot any obvious difference from the original run. Maybe just a re-release? Maybe it'll now come with that framed picture now? Quote

Maybe just a re-release? Maybe it'll now come with that framed picture now? A picture would be a nice incentive. It would also be very cool if reissue Yuki included the add-ons from previous releases, a saluting arm and a hand-on-hip arm. But even if it's just a basic reissue, I could see this being good for those who want a nice figure of Yuki in her traditional yellow/black uniform. Maybe "aloof" would be better? I dunno she struck me as being an airhead but very cute in doing so. Anyway, I found my new 2199 dream girl Saijo Miki's figure; I can't WAIT for her to get here! Aloof is a great description. Quote
Petrov27 Posted November 19, 2014 Posted November 19, 2014 Re-release would be good - I missed out on 1st edition Yuki Quote
myk Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 First edition Yuki's are all over the place, and they're not too expensive if you shop around... Quote
TangledThorns Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Amazon Japan. All Yamato 2199 Blu-rays are 30% off currently. Get it while the Japanese yen is weak! As much as I'd like to buy the Blu-rays they're still too expensive at 30% off It'd be nice if we had a decent distributor here in the States for this series but it looks like Voyager screwed that up. Quote
Keith Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Voyager discs weren't significantly cheaper. Also, you can't afford NOT to buy it! Quote

treatment Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 (edited) Re-release would be good - I missed out on 1st edition Yuki She just went up for preordering at ami: http://www.amiami.com/top/detail/detail?scode=FIGURE-009143 Yeah. Re-release with bonus L-size pic. Uniform's a bit darker in the Ami page, tho. 2/15 release-schedule. Like Yurisha's and the Arcadia VF-0D... Edited November 20, 2014 by treatment Quote
anime52k8 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Re-release with bonus L-size pic. I read this as bonus L-size bust and thought they were including an alternate chest part to give her bigger boobs. Quote
Marzan Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I read this as bonus L-size bust and thought they were including an alternate chest part to give her bigger boobs. LOL- They didn't get the 'less is more' memo. Quote
Heavy Melder Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Your choice is simple: the Star Blazers run of blu rays have effectively been canceled, so your only other choice is the Japanese stuff... Has there been any news on this front? I haven't heard anything about cancelled. Is there a posting around somewhere? Quote
myk Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 Yeah, start reading on page 75 of this thread... Quote
derex3592 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 and on that note.....just ordered volumes 4,5,6,7 of 2199 from Amazon Japan. No Arcadia VF-0D for me. Quote
myk Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 I haven't bought a variable fighter since the '60 YF 21; I will have that VF0D though... Quote
derex3592 Posted November 20, 2014 Posted November 20, 2014 my GOD man....you certainly have restraint! Quote
Dobber Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 and on that note.....just ordered volumes 4,5,6,7 of 2199 from Amazon Japan. No Arcadia VF-0D for me. You won't regret it, best anime series! Chris Quote
myk Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 my GOD man....you certainly have restraint! Lol not at all. It's just that none of the designs outside of DYRL/SDF, 'Plus or 'Zero interest me. Believe me I've spent quite a bit elsewhere... Quote
derex3592 Posted November 21, 2014 Posted November 21, 2014 You won't regret it, best anime series! Chris Thanks! My CC statement needed to hear that! Quote
