Skullsixx Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Hi guys. It's definitely been a WHILE since I've been active here. I'm just kinda getting back into Macross from along hiatus. I'm looking to pick up the Macross Frontier series at an upcoming anime convention here in Vegas. Is it out there? Does it exist on Blu Ray? YES, I did a search here but didn't find much. The only clips I've seen are what's posted on YouTube. The last series I collected was Macross Zero several years ago. I have DYRL, Macross Plus and a few others like the anniversary disc. I wasn't interested at all in Macross II or Macross 7. Quote
Murphy Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Yes it is out there, a couple of years ago there where many of the MF TV blu-rays on ebay, now non of the TV show and more of the 2 movies, You can find them on Japanese web-sites like play-Asia or cd-Japan I think, but they are pretty expensive for the whole set. I'm looking for vol. 2-8 of the TV series and don't want to pay $80+ for one volume. I was lucky to find vol 9 for 15$ shipped on ebay and vol. 9 for 18$ at mandarake. Quote
Skullsixx Posted October 4, 2012 Author Posted October 4, 2012 WOW! Maybe I'll just have to watch on YouTube! Quote
Valkyrie Tech Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Hello, Just joined MW but have been browsing the forums off & on for a few years. The 30th anniversary discussions caught my attention & I never realized they had a Hybrid 30th Anniversary Limited Edition Blu Ray come out in July. I spent hours the last couple days getting info on it & found a couple on Ebay about $300 from Japan & Play-Asia for $200. I ordered it yesterday & will watch it when it arrives to celebrate the Macross 30th birthday. Over the years I've only come across some not so good DVDs of DYRL & one very good almost HD version with very well translated English subs from a Macross fan on Ebay but this Blu Ray version with the Flashback 2012 disc will be the ultimate I think. In response to the Macross Frontier series topic, I was lucky to purchase the 25 episode DVD set a couple years back on Ebay. It was subtitled & made by Lambaian Films. It was about $39.00 & I think there are still some available on Ebay. I will post a link to the auction if I find it so others can get this DVD set for their collection. Quote

Valkyrie Tech Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Here is the link for the Macross Frontier DVD set. Price is cheaper than what I paid when it first came out. http://www.ebay.com/itm/MACROSS-FRONTIER-The-Complete-Collection-Anime-TV-Series-3-DVD-SET-English-Sub-/320794546779?pt=US_DVD_HD_DVD_Blu_ray&hash=item4ab0d8525b Don't. It's a bootleg. Sorry, posted the link before I saw your post. I suppose you may be right because it was from Malaysia. The packaging, picture & subtitle quality was very good though. Quote
Skullsixx Posted October 5, 2012 Author Posted October 5, 2012 If ya have Real Player you can download HD versions off YouTube. I just started doing this tonight. I'll download a few and then watch at my convenience. I've seen a few episodes in the past so it's been a while. Looking forward to getting back into Macross!!! Quote
Skullsixx Posted October 5, 2012 Author Posted October 5, 2012 (edited) Looking for episode 2 on YouTube. Damn...can't find it! Looks like some episodes are really scattered. Is the Frontier movie like the Mac Plus one? Condensed? Edited October 5, 2012 by Skullsixx Quote
Gubaba Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 Looking for episode 2 on YouTube. Damn...can't find it! Looks like some episodes are really scattered. Is the FRontier movie like the Mac Plus one? Condensed? Yes and no. The first Frontier movie is about 50% TV series footage (although much of the story and dialogue have been changed). The second movie is completely new. Quote
Skullsixx Posted October 5, 2012 Author Posted October 5, 2012 Looking for that now on YouTube. Quote
Valkyrie Tech Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 You can go to this site if you prefer downloads to buying the DVDs. I believe all 25 episodes are listed. http://www.animefreak.tv/watch/macross-frontier-online Quote
Skullsixx Posted October 6, 2012 Author Posted October 6, 2012 What I ended up doing was going here: Realitylapse.com I paid the $5.00 fee and was able to download ALL the Hi-Def episodes with subs on to Divx. I'm downloading the last 5 episodes now so I'll get to spend the weekend getting caught up with the rest of ya that have already seen Frontier. Quote
Skullsixx Posted October 6, 2012 Author Posted October 6, 2012 All episodes downloaded. I'm currently on the 4th one so far. It's nice to catch up. Quote
frothymug Posted October 11, 2012 Posted October 11, 2012 I kind of wish there was a way to rewatch it "for the first time". It was a grand adventure, it was... Quote
Skullsixx Posted October 15, 2012 Author Posted October 15, 2012 I'm taking my time with it and really enjoying the show. Quote
Drahazar Posted May 15, 2013 Posted May 15, 2013 Really cool website. Realitylapse.com. Just wish the sub's where slower I can't read them fast enough Quote
