Differences In Differant versions of Macross Pakag

[revenent]

I have this particular title, "Macross DVD Collection TV Series" But yet there are others on the net similar to it. Mine when i watch it speaks in japanese but subtitles are in english but then the subtitles are not clear as in not all of the dialouge is subtitled. Does anyone of you has such a problem? What is the correct Original Macross version to get with japanese speech with english subtitles in full?

What's the difference? The "Do You Remember Love" DVD cartoon looks more nicer then the original tv series. Is it supposed to be like that or is mine the bootleg version? Please assist thanks.

how many DVDs is it (less than 12?)?? its possible you have a boot version... I have seen some of the "offical" release episodes, the subs seem nice and clear to me.

Mine has only 5 DVD. Its only the episode 1-36. If its bootleg, then what DVD should i get and where? I want the original TV series not the Robotech series. With english subtitles of course

Well, there's the R1 AnimeIgo 9-disk SDF:Macross, as well as the new set coming out in Australia (I can't remember which company is releasing it, but I guess it's the same restored, subbed footage that AnimeIgo did).

Other than that, there are no other official english language-subbed SDF: Macross DVD's out there, and ther are no official English-Dubbed sets at all.

doh... I mean 9 DVDs

I was thinking of the "box thread" from the Toys forum

Madman is the company releasing Macross TV in Australia. There's been a thread about the release recently. It looks like a great deal if you can't find the region 1 DVD's at a reasonable price AND you have a DVD player capable of playing R2/PAL DVD's. (They use PAL in Oz, don't they?)

[rikiryou]

Yeah, I just picked up the Madman's boxset. Comes with 3 DVD cases (2 discs in each, a total of 6 DVD-9s with 6 episodes each) and 3 booklets accompanying them:

1. Episode guide with short 'facts' and sometimes 'notes' section for each episode. Pretty fun information provided.

2. Character and mecha guide. Quite thorough with some background info on preproduction names etc.

3. A book of lyrics. O_o Now I wasn't expecting that... but it's in there.

Packaging: The main box's art is fair. Hikaru's face with the VF-1S. Now... each individual cases, on the other hand... have the illustrations of each pilot found on the MPC's cover. Frankly, it really looks like a bootleg copy to me. (Heck.. If I remember correctly even the bootlegs had a better boxart) Disappointing, is all I can say about the coverart. Oh well, can't be expecting some nice Mikimoto art knowing where this came from.

I can't compare the set with Animeigo's since I don't own that one, all I know is that the disc count is different, and the boxsets are different. But hey, it's only AU$145 (US$108 atm). A pretty good steal, don't you think?

But AnimeIgo can only be shipped within the US only right? What online shops do you all go to to purchase the Macross Videos?

Do you know a good web site, where i can find that set, and some r2 and r3 dvds also perhapes.

[rikiryou]

Hmm, good sites. I picked this up directly from a HMV store that I passed by, though. All DVDs in Australia are Region 4, in case you didn't know. As for R2 DVDs, I suppose there's www.cdjapan.co.jp I'm not sure if you know about it, however.

Oh, and I forgot about the fact that Animeigo doesn't allow their set to be sold overseas. Lol.
