The title says it all!
From Kirik, Macross World Con Director:
Attention MW!!!
We have secured a date and location for this year’s MacrossWorld Convention. I am very excited to announce we will be hosting MW Con 2013 at the Torrance Cultural Arts Center – Ken Miller Auditorium in Torrance, CA. Save the date for Saturday, October 5th to come and join us for the biggest MacrossWorld Convention yet!
This multi-purpose recreation center will be the largest venue we’ve ever secured to host the MW Con and features 3,100 sq. feet of space. We’ll have plenty of room for your favorite Macross displays as well as an opportunity for vendors and MW members to sell your extra items. The Ken Miller Auditorium also features a full sized stage which we hope to utilize for some soon-to-be-announced special events during the convention.

On November 11, 2012, a special screening of Macross FB7 was held at Shinjuku Picadilly Cinema which included a talkshow by director Tetsuro Amino and special guests Aya Endo, Megumi Nakajima, and Yoshiki Fukuyama. The timing of the event was unusual in that it took place a whole two weeks after the movie debuted on October 20 and talkshows such as these normally happen on opening day.
So, what did Amino have to say about the movie? Hit the jump below to find out.
