Zhou Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Yeah, it's coming: http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00IEY03YM So who's getting it? Quote
Vifam7 Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Yeah, it's coming: http://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00IEY03YM So who's getting it? I'll get it. Over the years, I've begun to appreciate Macross II more and more. I never got the Japanese DVD set, so it'll be nice to get this Bluray release. Quote
Tochiro Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 English subtitles?Nothing announced at this time. Amazon lists Japanese only. Quote
Marzan Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 The circle is now complete. Great bit of news. It'd be even better if it came with english subs! Quote
xrentonx Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Ordered it! Now I have them all on Bluray Quote

Keith Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 (edited) F¥CK YEAH! Edited February 14, 2014 by Keith Quote
technoblue Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I picked this up on VHS when I started my Macross addiction. I am definitely in! Quote
wm cheng Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I really hope turns the interest into some toys or decent models!!! Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Let me summarize my position on this in the shortest possible manner: DO WANT. Quote
Mr March Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 Let me summarize my position on this in the shortest possible manner: DO WANT. I was hoping you'd see this Quote
Seto Kaiba Posted February 14, 2014 Posted February 14, 2014 I was hoping you'd see this And see it I did... I'm very excited about this. Subtitles or no, I'll cheerfully plunk down my cash for a HD copy of Macross II: Lovers Again so I can maybe retire my ancient, battered copy of the Manga Entertainment DVD edition. (Actually, not having the godawful English dub might be considered a bonus feature in and of itself...) Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I guess this means we should put up the Save and Adrian's Macross II World banner again. Quote
Gubaba Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 F¥CK YEAH! Wait... You LIKE Macross II...? Since when? Quote
Renato Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 IIRC Keith had a change of heart after the MacII valks were featured in the PSP games. I feel like I don't even know him anymore. Quote
Gubaba Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 IIRC Keith had a change of heart after the MacII valks were featured in the PSP games. I feel like I don't even know him anymore. You and me both, Buddy. You and me both. Quote
Beltane70 Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 You and me both, Buddy. You and me both. I see I'm not the only one that was confused by Keith! Yeah, totally uninterested in this box set. Quote
Scyla Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I've only seen Macross 2 with the terrible English dub. Do you think I will enjoy Macross 2 more with no subtitles at all and a Japanese voice track given that I don't understand any Japanese? Quote

Do you think I will enjoy Macross 2 more with no subtitles at all and a Japanese voice track given that I don't understand any Japanese? I'll answer your question with a question: which is better, "Clash of the Bionoids," or "DYRL" raw? Quote
Scyla Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Hm never seen Clash of the Bionoids but DYRL was ok. Please don't kill me. Quote
Gubaba Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Hm never seen Clash of the Bionoids but DYRL was ok. Please don't kill me. Okay...? OKAY!? Kill 'im. Quote
Scyla Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Oh it was much better experience than watching the dubed Macross 2 OVA. I just love the VF-2 Valkyries even if they where not designed by Kawamori and I like the female squad around Sylvie Gena. I've listened to the latest Macross Speaker Podcast a while ago but didn't you guys mentioned that Kawamori himself said that Macross 2 is now official "canon"? Does this fact and the release of this Blu-Ray box set indicate that Macross 2 will become more recognized in Japan... ..ultimately leading to Arcadia releasing a VF-2SS Valkyire II SAP? The SAP System would offer so much play value. Quote
Gubaba Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 I've listened to the latest Macross Speaker Podcast a while ago but didn't you guys mentioned that Kawamori himself said that Macross 2 is now official "canon"? Nothing is canon. Everything is canon. The stuff that contradicts other stuff is canon, too. Or not. But that doesn't change the fact that in the "real world," Kawamori didn't design the VF-2SS, and any company making Macross toys wants to stay in Kawamori's good graces. (And really... if an old movie comes out on blu-ray in the US, is there ever a flood of merchandise to accompany it...?) Quote
Gubaba Posted February 15, 2014 Posted February 15, 2014 Thank you for the clarification. I do my best. Quote
JetJockey Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I kind of liked Macross II back in the day. I have the original VHS tapes, the US soundtrack, and volume 2 of the Japanese soundtrack. I think I have some posters or prints too. But I don't know if I'll get this on Blu-ray. It certainly doesn't match the original Macross or the other shows that were put into Robotech. I like the artwork and the songs. But with the 6 episodes I always thought I missed something. Maybe the US version was cut? I don't know. The volume 2 Japanese soundtrack seems to have music that is missing from the actual anime. You guys know anything about that? Quote
VF-15 Banshee Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 You know what I love about Macross II? Besides Dennis that is. Near the end when Ishtar is singing, in the dub version she starts in Japanese and then bursts into the chorus in English! Gotta love that dub. Quote

The volume 2 Japanese soundtrack seems to have music that is missing from the actual anime. You guys know anything about that? Nope... the US version wasn't cut, except for the Macross II the Movie edition which removed the ending credits from episodes 1-5 and OP from episodes 2-6. The Manga Ent. DVD version of the "movie" edition included a clean version of the Ep1-5 ED as a "music video". I think most of the instrumental stuff from the Macross II OST 2 is just background music they made but never really found a use for... Quote

I remembered that I had a small snap together kit of the valkyries too. That always seemed to fall apart. Quote
Oskull Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 Macross II in BD edition...god, I just started getting updated from Macross 7 and now this. It seems I´ll never end. Quote
PetarB Posted February 20, 2014 Posted February 20, 2014 (edited) Wow, can't wait to pick this one up. I last saw this in the english dub on VHS tape, borrow from my local 'Blockbuster' home video, many many years ago now. I seem to remember watching 'Venus Wars' around the same time...

Zinjo Posted February 24, 2014 Posted February 24, 2014 IIRC Keith had a change of heart after the MacII valks were featured in the PSP games. I feel like I don't even know him anymore. ROFL!! Quote
Keith Posted February 26, 2014 Posted February 26, 2014 Wait... You LIKE Macross II...? Since when? Since the end of Frontier, when I mis-read "Macross 11," snd thought Grace sent Vsjra after the "Macross II" fleet. Between that, and the existence of SDF ships like the Global, I can rationalize the shoes existence somewhat in canon if they wanted to make minor edits. Quote
