Finally, somebody else feeling our pain! Mods, not sure where was the best place to put this, move if necessary.
Valkyrie Magnus Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 This time Harmony Gold a Mosquito is biting off more they can chew, Hasbro a 747.
locidm Posted July 24, 2013 Author Posted July 24, 2013 It appears many of the TF fans only know of robotech, and are not aware that Macross has continued through the decades in Japan.
1/1 LowViz Lurker Posted July 24, 2013 Posted July 24, 2013 (edited) That's because of HG. Grrrr They might be aware of macross plus though since this was the one that got under the HG radar. And maybe macross II since this was dubbed with english voices. The only escape from this mess is if they reboot macross as a universe and call it something else overseas so all us fans can finally buy these things locally. Wasn't macross Zero (with its "VF-0 Phoenix") a type of reboot of the VF-1 for a modern audience anyway? Videogames often get renamed to new things when released locally. Why not Macross? Leave the name the same in japan. But call it different thing here. Example in japan Megaman games are known as Rockman (rock n roll theme to the games tunes). At the end of the day we will all know the dual names if we are big enough fans who keep up to date with news. Think of all the anime series that people outside japan have missed out on. Big wasted opportunity. Edited July 25, 2013 by 1/1 LowViz Lurker
David Hingtgen Posted July 25, 2013 Posted July 25, 2013 Already being discussed, and not really Macross anyways: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=39378&page=2 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=36540&page=49
