Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 2, 2004 Posted May 2, 2004 I read this at the aeug.blogspot thing. MAcross 0 got the best OVA award at the tokyo international anime fair! So I take it its gotta be doing reasonably well. I mean gundam seed got best animation series tv for the year and macross 0 got best OVA...its gotta be good to hear! Quote
Ignacio Ocamica Posted May 2, 2004 Posted May 2, 2004 It´s really good to hear that! It can only mean MORE macross products I want toys and a new series (are you listening Shoji?) Quote
UN Spacy Posted May 2, 2004 Posted May 2, 2004 I bow down to the almighty Hory Froating Head. Congrats to Kawamori Shoji and crew for giving us more Macross to enjoy. Zero is such a strong series.....they deserve it. Quote
Aegis! Posted May 2, 2004 Posted May 2, 2004 Old news Damn , you beat me to it. Yeah , we already knew this a long time ago. For Macross Zero to get this award together with a super production like the Animatrix is a really relevant sign of how vanguardist Macross is in the animation industry. Quote
Gui Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Old news, but still cool Rock on, Hory Froating Head!!! Quote
Agent ONE Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Thanks for posting... I missed it the first time. It is really not surprising, MZero rocks. Quote
Graham Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 And well it deserves it. A fantastic peice of work IMO. Graham Quote
JELEINEN Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 What other OVAs came out last year? The format is all but dead, so I don't think it had much competition. Quote

Sundown Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 So it actually won over a super production such as the Animatrix and evena GUNDAM production Now that´s what I call pedigree Seems each of the Animatrix segments were judged separately... and the Animatrix bits really weren't that much to speak of, with the most worthy segments being the two Second Rennassance clips. -Al Quote
azrael Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 [so it actually won over a super production such as the Animatrix and even GUNDAM production Now that´s what I call pedigree Gundam Evolve was really more of a animation OAV. There was no story behind them. The series was more eye candy than anything else so I'm not surprised if it did beat out Gundam Evolve. Quote
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted May 3, 2004 Author Posted May 3, 2004 SUCK THAT KIKAIDER! macross 0 rules I agree agent. I duno bout you guys but that seems like a list of GOOD competing OVA's. So I fail to see how its dead. Quote
JELEINEN Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 SUCK THAT KIKAIDER!macross 0 rules I agree agent. I duno bout you guys but that seems like a list of GOOD competing OVA's. So I fail to see how its dead. I said, "all but dead." The fact is that fewer and fewer OVAs are getting made every year. In the late eighties and early nineties, it wasn't uncommon for over a hundred OVA releases in a single year. The reasons why, at least from my understanding, is that with the crash of the Japanese bubble economy, people aren't spending as much on anime releases (and OVAs can be very expensive, usually being only 1 episode per disc and often costing $50.00 or $60.00 for just one disc or even $100 back in the LD days). Also, the existance of satelite stations dedicated to anime, like WOWOW, allow shows to be aired that in the past would have been released as OVAs. Quote
bsu legato Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 Well, there was 'Queer Eye for The Fighter Pilot'......sorry, 'Yucky-kaze' and er...........? Tee hee....it's funny 'cuz it's true. Quote
bandit29 Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 I actually like Shin Hokuto no Ken (new Fist of the North Star) more than M Zero but oh well. Too bad there's only going to be 3 episodes. But they are close to an hour long. Did Yukikaze win for most f'ed up story lol(I've only seen 1 & 2)? For some reason the dub made me like the show more Quote
Impreszive Posted May 3, 2004 Posted May 3, 2004 I've been watching Yukikaze for the jet alone. I'm so alone....... Quote
Myriad Posted May 4, 2004 Posted May 4, 2004 (edited) nevermind lol Edited May 4, 2004 by Myriad Quote

Jasonc Posted May 6, 2004 Posted May 6, 2004 Rahxephon was a good OVA. Gundam Seed I have yet to watch, but it looks great as well. For Mac 0 to do so well, they're definitely doing something right. I just wish it didn't take so damn long to come out between releases. UGH!!! Quote
Graham Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Was there a RahXephon OVA? I was under the impression there was only a TV series and a movie. Graham Quote
Panon Posted May 7, 2004 Posted May 7, 2004 Was there a RahXephon OVA? I was under the impression there was only a TV series and a movie. Graham The OVA "Interlude" came with the Rahxephon PS2 game. It's still downloadable online since it isn't licensed - http://a.scarywater.net/solar/RahXephon%20...%5D.avi.torrent Quote

Very Eva-ish. QUestions her existence. Decides she is who she is. She is Quon. SHe wants to be herself...blablabla......3rd impact happens. Quote
