locidm Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 My issue with any new series with characters that are in previous series would be any potential changes in voice actor. If they do Megaroad, Hikaru will have a new VA, and most likely Minmei too. I know it's been done before with M30 and other games, but a TV series will be very different.
Pterobat Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Whoo-hoo! I got an early birthday present, looks like! (Is nerd-praying for an entirely new story.)
Kelsain Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I assume that they're a little tongue-in-cheek, but can somebody translate those little notes all around the photo? Oh, and w00000t!!
3D-Brainx Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Great news! May be that's why Bandai is taking do long to release the DX YF-30?? They may know something we don't
Gian Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Awesome news!!! I don't care if it's a new story or a remake, new macross is always welcomed!
EXO Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Great news! May be that's why Bandai is taking do long to release the DX YF-30?? They may know something we don't By the time this get out, Arcadia will have their version in pre-order...
Marzan Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Obviously I'll be happy with whatever kind of story they decide to do and after the success of Yamato 2199, the upcoming Origin, I wouldn't be surprised if they go with Macross the First. Having said that, I'd prefer a new story with new characters. See the Macross universe expanded even more and hopefully like Frontier get more people into Macross.
Gubaba Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Great !! I really think it´s time for Kawamori to tell us about Hikaru, Misa and Minmay fate, I mean "The Mega Road 01 Story"...Just imagine to meet Hikaru & Misa kids, and finally to know if Minmay found her real love after deception, everything happening in a new universe exploration adventures..And what about discovering why the Megaroad 01 cut transmissions when arriving the center of galaxy...please please kawamori close the circle !!!!! Haven't you been keeping up with Macross Chronicle... The circle is already closed. I assume that they're a little tongue-in-cheek, but can somebody translate those little notes all around the photo? Oh, and w00000t!! HIKARU and MISA: "MACROSS!" MINMAY: "ALL-NEW MACROSS" MILIA (SDFM): "Really?" MILIA (M7): "FINALLY!!!" BASARA: "LET'S GO!!!" BRITAI: "Congrats, damn miclones!" HIKARU: "Is it true!?!" MAX: "Keep your eyes on that monitor!"
skullmilitia Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 So Kickstarter to grab the US rights for this new Macross series? lol
David Hingtgen Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 DX VF-31F sold out in 20 secs at 1999.co.jp and HLJ... (this post will be accurate, some day in the future) But on a serious note---give us the VF-4 in a series! Or more Milia...
Oskull Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I was expecting the new tv series to be "on air" for the next anniversary- maybe 35th?...M7(15th) and MF(25th) followed that pattern...any way, those are great news!
isamu Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I have to say in all honesty this news brightened my day. Any info regarding the plot/story/timeline?

I´ve never had the chance to get one of these M Chronicles. How was the circle closed?
Gubaba Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 I´ve never had the chance to get one of these M Chronicles. How was the circle closed? They were transported to a different galaxy. Sketchley talked about it.
VALKYRIE ACE PILOT Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Haven't you been keeping up with Macross Chronicle... The circle is already closed. HIKARU and MISA: "MACROSS!"

If the circle is already closed, it will always seem to be based on "rumors" since Macross chronicle Magazine is in Japanese language and has no easy access for the rest of the world fans...A real official canon climax should always be depicted in a TV series or at least in a movie...
Agent ONE Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Wow. I am beyond excited... Lets hope its more action and less "emo-pansy-kid" stuff.
MILKAUTICO Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SuperSenpai Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Two words: MORE TOYS I hope for an all-new production rather than a reboot/remake of SDFM. But that said, I wouldn't mind a reboot/remake either, provided that they did it similar to how they adapted The Walking Dead from comics to TV -- specifically, keeping a lot of the significant plot points, but changing up characters, relationships, and taking different paths to arrive at the same points. I loved that approach, because the TV show felt familiar to readers of the comic, and yet was different enough that there were plenty of surprises to keep you in suspense.
Strumvogel Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Just when I had given hope for another series in whatever format for another 3-4 years at least this news comes thru. I wonder if they'd be doing a full season or just the safer just 1-cour which is now the standard for the industry these days. I also hope they handle the pacing better this time around. Frontier started out great but then started to drag as it was approaching the finish line for, I don't know, reasons. They really fumbled the writing there when they really didn't need to. Great finish though. At the very least this means the forum will be pick up pace again. And Gubaba, I can understand your predicament. Japan is a great place but if you're not planning to set up roots, well... You're at least still young so you're still fine.
David Hingtgen Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Hmmm. A remake would basically be about humanity facing extinction from a race of human-esque 50ft-tall giants, developing new unconventional weaponry to fight them, all with awesome music.

Oh, come on...! what country do you think Macross is from...? Sketchley's an honest man.
skullmilitia Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Just think about it like it was Inception or (the original) Total Recall. No one reallllllly knows the true ending of the story, but it doesn't change how great the story was, nor does it really need to be specifically drawn out. Space is a big place. they disappeared. Hell we can't find aircraft on earth that crash, imagine trying to find a ship the size of the megaroad in the Galaxy! It's be like trying to find a Neutron in a Haystack, covered by a football field of sand.

Kyp Durron Posted March 26, 2014 Posted March 26, 2014 Whoa! Prolly a reboot of Macross-II in tv-mode... **** no.
