Macross/II/Plus/7/Dynamite 7/Zero/Frontier
I thought it would be nice to have a small space where the macross fan can give opinions about favourites series.
I have seen robotech, macross II, macross 7, dynamite 4 and zero. i must say that i like a lot all the series, but my fav is macross 7, i know its a little repetitive the first 10-15 episodes, but after that it slowly starts to get better. |
I am a big fan of the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross, espically for the end. I also really liked "Do You Remember Love?", even if it is super 80's cheesy. I never really got in to the other Macross series. It isn't that I avoid them, but I just don't know what to aim for, and how much I should be willing to pay to see them.
|
I loved macross plus probably becuase it was the only one I bothered watching.
Not the best of endings but the fight with the mechs/jets were intense. |
I'm pretty much into the SDF-1 Series and the DYRL - "Ai, Oboetemasu ka" movie. Macross Plus probably takes the cake though as it still has pretty top notch animation done almost entirely by the traditional hand drawn method, as well as the story line is engaging as the UN Spacy wants to see which of two companies can build the next Valkyrie. I've heard horror stories of "ROBOTECH" which is, from what I hear, the US rip-off of one of Japan's revered mecha animes. I have not seen it, and won't really bother to watch ROBOTECH any time soon.
Macross II and Zero aren't really that engaging, personally, however the CG done for Zero is fantastic. I'm currently am building a few of the 1/72 HASEGAWA kits of their Macross line and their great! MACPLA! |
My all-time favorite is Macross Plus; the YF-19 is just my dream aircraft. The characters are all enjoyable (except maybe Myung - she's too whiny and indecisive for my tastes), the animation was exceptional for the time, and the music is, two words: Yoko Kanno. What more could you ask for?
Macross Zero was a nice detour to the past and I thank Kawamori for it but the whole "bird-human"/Shin sucking so much it hurt crap really brought the show down. Roy's entanglements with his old mentor and his mentor's new protege' were some amazing bits, the animation is SUPERB, and the CG fighting is great. The soundtrack is VERY repetitive and if it weren't for the efw vocal songs it'd be worthless. Macross II was crap. The G-Saviour of the Macross Universe. I remember watching the english dub of the Movie version and thinking "Damn, Hibiki Kanzaki is a pussy...." every time he screamed or gave some lame-ass dailogue. His last monologue while in prison was particularly sappy, contrite, and annoying. The only thing that I like in the movie was Feff and his incessant use of profanity. A+ cursing in Marduk. Macross Do You Remember Love was ok. Lots of Max and Miriya is always good. But that's it. Original Macross (AKA Super Dimesional Fortress Macross) was, and still is, the badd-ass grand-daddy of space dramas. I love watching it despite the dated animation and the HORRENDOUS Lynn Minmay music. |

Double Post: looks like im the only ome that like macross 7 |
Oh, I forgot Macross 7. Sadly, I watched it as a joke. And ENJOYED it. Immensely. I absolutely think Nekki is the most entertaining of all the male macross leads; he tries os hard to be an anti-hero he becomes the people's hero in a wierd twist. Of course I do wish the Fire Valkyrie was in someone else's hands (Miriya in VF-19 Kai would be something to see).
And about Lynn Minmay, I was born in '85 and I still love *some* 80s much, just not hers. Other animes from the 80s had hot music; Gundam 0083 for example has such great music or the Transformers Movie 1. The theme from SDF Macross was really good in a campy way; a deep Japanese male voice saying, "MA - CO - ROSS!" Hilarity in it's best form. |
i prefer the music from 7 and dynamite 7 over the old tv and movies.
they are good, but i just prefer 7 |
Why would I be ashamed of 80's music? It's sure a hell lot better than the shit I hear on the radio these days. I listen to stuff 200+ years old.
And as for the MACROSS opening theme, It's a pretty entertaining OP theme, I like it! |
ahh all of these are classics to me. Though i haven't seen all of Robotech/Super Dimensional Fortress.. I enjoyed Plus and the second movie.
IMO, the best music was in Plus and Macross 2. dunno why but i like it. Macross Zero had alot of potential. it wasn't that bad either but the cg was too much =/ overall , none of the macross series disappointed me. As long they have good music (which is the most important thing in macross) i can handle it ^^;. |
...........
Oh if ... musical praise of macross ... there is no another word to describe more that... Wonderful...
The music of every Macross's production is very important All the Macross's OST are brilliant ... nevertheless Macross Ai Oboeteimasuka OST to my judgment is the best... :) |
Wow, happy to see so many Macross fans. Macross was the show that got me into anime in the first place. And it's still one of my favorite shows of all time. I feel bad for Minmay though. So many people give hate her. I can understand that, but the poor thing can't help it. Plus her music rocks. An Angel Paints is my favorite song.
Macross Plus is a masterpiece. Everything about it was perfect. Few shows can have such great action mixed with amazing emotion. |
Macross Plus is a really well produced OVA for the time ('94/'95) (in which Kawamori had an unlimited budget to work on for ep.4).
(I guess I should mention Megazone23 as a spinoff series, Spoiler:
|
i hope that macross continues either on tv or ovas

really?
nice!!!! didnt knew that hope it come soon! |
As stated by almost everyone in the thread, the original is always the best.
Macross II, while not the greatest, was still pretty enjoyable. The animation was alright for its time, and the voice acting(japanese cast) was awesome. My only problem was the ending really. Everything else felt like it was the direct sequel of Macross. Macross Seven...well, I personally hated it, but that's one humble ninja's opinion. Just didn't enjoy the music at all. Macross Zero was beautiful. The story was subpar, but the music, acting, and artwork was superb. It was a visual orgasm to say the least, just not much plot involved. Macross Plus is my favorite of the sequels. The story was tight and fluid, the animation was vivid and the CG in the movie didn't look out of place at all. The characters were all great, the voice acting great, the music was some of the best to be put in Macross since the original, and overall it was just awesome. |
new art boock
Good .. since touch is afraid of him Kawamori's ... already there went out to the sale a new Art Boock of this magnificent director and designer of mechas
Here the Link.. SHOJI KAWAMORI DESIGN WORKS Check it ... brilliant this one... There is no doubt... Shoji Kawamori is the best Designer of Mechas of the All industry of anime Ragards!!! |
I want a Macross series that takes place quite some time after the main nemesis of the Zendraeti fleet is defeated, but just before the events of Macross Plus. I'd love to see the VF-11B in action.
As for Flash Back 2012, I doubt much would be of the VF-4 Lightning, but it'd make a very nice side story with a new cast. |
Does anyone know what became of Hikaru Ichijo and Misa Hayase after the original Macross series? That's one part of the whole Macross universe that was never explained or been accounted for.
We pretty much know they left Earth (Macross Flasback 2012) aboard the superdimensional fotress Megaroad but we never heard from them since. Max and Miriya have returned in Macross 7, and Roy Focker returned for the prequel Macross Zero. But where the hell is Hikaru and Misa?! Macross 7: Spoiler:
:beer: |
My adventure starts and end on Macross Zero. I just couldn't walk next to such a great Anime with awesome sky fights. Didn't had a chance to see any other series part like Plus or Dynamite 7. For now I'll stop on what I had seen so far there are to much new Anime released and I don't have time to watch them all =(. Don't worry Macross I'll watch you someday!
P.S Like Macross?? Try Tactical Roar!! |
Quote:
that happened with Misa and Hikaru? This it is a question that we will do to ourselves the fans many years more ... or until Kawamori decides to say to us in some anime more of Macross (that really it is almost impossible) ok the cornology official say... 2013 First year of the New Era calender (New Era 0001). Miku Ichijyo born to Hikaru and Misa Ichijyo. VF-5's first flight. April Launches begin for one close-range colonization fleet after another.

Megaroad-01's communications cease near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy. (News about this ship are not publicized.) Myung Fang Lone born on Planet Eden. |
i think that maybe some ovas would tell about what happened to hikaru and misa.
i think that a anime series(if any) would be after dynamite 7 |
I love Macross, but all I've seen so far is SDF Macross. I guess it's DYRL? and Plus next up, but I don't know when I'll be able to get my hands on them. I am looking forward to it though...
|
DYRL its really good, is like a retelling of the story with different(and even better twist) than the original, its must seen dude!
i order Plus, but i havent seen it, it shouls arrive next week, but i heard nothing more than good things for it. I personally love 7, i hope you will like it, there is a group called central anime that is distributing the whole 7 anime, you should check it out. Zero is a excellent, but different take to the macross universe. my advice for you: Download ep of 7, buy plus, try to fin dyrl(i think its not on dvd yet) |
Quote:
he is very dificult that new macross is developed with Hikaru, Misa and Min May like protagonists... the own Shoji Kawamori has mentioned that the history of these characters already was counted and that serious lack of originality to bring them of return.... with respect to another one macross after Dynamite 7 then perhaps... although serious also little probable since to the characters of Macross 7 already they have appeared often... as much in ovas, movies and series... so that all the previous one... then so that Kawamori thinks that Macross is an event... (like important World War II or other events in our history) and that within that event or event are many characteres with a history that to count. |

I'd like to see what you've got. :beer: |
Quote:
Valkryries or characters? Images ... ¿no? |
I meant the Hasegawa model kits. Or any pics for that matter. I might even post some photos of Macross toys I have at home.
Let me go take a few........ :beer: |
Here's a few:
I'm still working on my VT-1 Super Ostrich http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i6.../Valkyrie2.jpg http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i6.../Valkyrie4.jpg Elintseeker http://i69.photobucket.com/albums/i6...ntseeker10.jpg |
Ooh, those are freakin' excellent!! Nice job!! That paint job must've taken ages to do though....... o_O
Very, very nice. :D :beer: |
It's a pain in the ass when you're not patient after putting the future wax on it then start doing panelling, only to find out that the paints are mixing. God damn.
|
well...
we are with the subject of the models...
that seems to them the model of the VF-0 of Yamto....... http://www.yamato-toys.com/prg_data/OP11138777237.jpg http://www.yamato-toys.com/prg_data/OP21138777237.jpg http://www.yamato-toys.com/prg_data/OP21138777237.jpg http://www.yamato-toys.com/prg_data/OP31138777237.jpg Genial... No? :) |
oh my god!!! this is sweet dude!
|
Not worth my money at like what, $250 USD for that. I think this is why I stick with the kits. Plus the kits look nicer, albiet their smaller scale. 1/72 vs 1/48. Even the 1/48 VF-1 Strikes, I'm not interested in unless it's for like $20.00. Sorry, I just had a very bad experience with one of the Yamato ones.
|
hey spatula? where do you buy your paints and models? I used to a big gundam modeler a few years back but never got around to actually painting em. Now that im older though, I'd like to think that I have a much better attention span lol.
Back to Topic! I just downloaded a subbed version of DYRL because if i remember correctly, its not out in tye US yet and as everyones saying, MP is awesome (try to get the movie version if you havent yet ordered it MrSatan, I believe it has extra scenes). I personally thought Zero was good except it kinda dragged during ep 4 and 3. Good end and good start but meh in the middle and as Saptula was saying, the characters are pretty bland except for Focker |
Paints I buy locally of course. I stick with Tamiya mainly, and some Gunze. I use Testors occassionally for detail jobs or panelling.
I get my kits all around town and even the net, mainly HLJ.com. |
i just watched macross plus, its really good i really recommend it to everyone!!!
if you havent seen it, you must, too bad that Manga(the dvd rights owner) suck big time and the extras are nonexistant |
Mecha are my gold I love the UC Gundam timeline, but I am a serious newbie to the Macross world. The only Macross I have seen is Zero. It was a good show. I really enjoyed the action, characters, and story. Ending was too mystic though. The mecha designs are awesome. The designers know how to do transformations right.
I was thinking about watching Plus next. What do you guys think? |
well, that is a good option, but now that you are following the original timeline, try to find the original macross series, or maybe do you remember love movie, (which kick so much ass), anyway, macross plus dont tell much of the original story so you can watch it with problem.
|
Cool, I'll make sure to pick that up some time soon. I was also pointed in the direction of Macross 7 so I will start that one after Plus.
|
good choice dude, i love macross 7, the music is the best,in fact im listening to 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 nights, a song from the soundtrack that wasnt released on the anime series, but i warn you, macross 7 is a follow up to the main story, so you will spoil many things from the original series, even it have some stuff from macross plus(the VF fighters).
anyway is you want macross 7, central anime have everything of that series here is the link http://a.scarywater.net/ca/ enjoy dude |
ok... checking the network... I was with this peculiar page...
http://kofu.cool.ne.jp/shunshunshop/gallery1.htm they are imagenes of a Valkyries Girls.. (3 Row) ...and other animes of mechas :cow: |
hey something come to my attention about macross 7,
anyone noted that the song that the jamming birds sings, its actually a song used as a background song used in the second episode of the macross 2 ova? |
Speaking of which, I finally got like the first episode of M7. I'll be sure to cover my ears.
|
cool dude, enjoy it!

new dvd and cd..
following with the subject of Macross 7...
as some already they know... (and those that does not know then already know). Yoshiki Fukuya months ago (2005) sent to a DVD and CD commemorating the 10 years of the conclusion of Macross 7 (10 years.... the time happens fast.) DVD Yoshiki Fukuyama Presents Fire Bomber 2005: A Tribute To Nekki Basara. this DVD without a doubt is a collection item since to obtain a copy he is very dificil... so single was sold in some concerts and the page Three nine Entertaiment... CD Fukuyama Fire!!! A Tribute To Nekki Basara 14 Tracks http://cover6.cduniverse.com/msiart/...0000453665.jpg the CD is more easy to obtain... and is very recommendable... since the new versions of the Macross 7's songs are brilliant. Official Website |
i know of those dude, i cant find the cd to download, i want to hear the new version of starlight dream. i want that cd!!!
|
Quote:
i dont believe that can you find the cd for downloading.... :cow: |
yeah tell me about it, ive check everywhere and its impossible
|
|
i have most of the soundtracks, but thanx dude in that page there are macross plus and zero soundtrack that i was looking for!
thanxs a lot dude! |
.........
mmmm...
is imposible find the new cd for downloading... At least in these moments... I me think it to buy ... I believe that it is a very good investment... :cow: |
yes dude, buy it, and if you can share it!! :biggrin:
|
BTW can anyone tell me the difference between macross plus ova and movie edition?
i heard that there are new scenes and a different ending, please someone clarify this to me. thanxs |
Quote:
the difference that exists... it is that to movie edition new scenes were added to him... and some suppressed... and ending is the song of Voices with the credits.... |
oh i see, i thought it was something more important, involving guld, isamu and myung, the matter of their brake is not clear for me.
|
This is pretty much how I can sum up the story of what happened between the 3:
Spoiler:
If anyone thinks otherwise or has different opinions, feel free to share. :beer: |
oh now i get it, thanx for your explanation dude, there were some subtle things that i didnt notice about that!:biggrin:

And when Macross Zero came out, the animation and 3D scenes are fantastically beautiful. Though, probably overly dramatic in certain scenes, but like in episdoe 1 where: Spoiler:
|
well, i think must of us watch robotech in our childhood(i had like 5 or 6, now i have 26) and i always love it, but for some special reason i only remember the macross saga, it had the biggest impact on me, and when i learned the truth(that robotech was a mixture of 3 different series) i sticked to macross por than robotech.
anyway, you are right macross zero is awesome, the visual are outstanding, hope that kawamori continue working on more macross in the future |
Quote:
it is expected that hopes appears something new... 2007 ----> 25 Aniversary of Macross... :cow: |
2007? awesome, 25 years it have to be something big.

.........
Remake or no Remake... of SDF Macross ?
they would like remake of SDF Macross? this is a good possibility of opening speculations on if we them fans, would be arranged to request or to see remake of Macross TV series but with present animation. Kawamori has said that if asi would be had to do remakes of many its works... that are many possibilities... Note... this is single one discucion mine... who does not take like the news or possibility that the new production in the universe macross is going to be remake... |
intresting idea hikaru, a remake, i never thought of that, but if it uses animation like macross zero it would rock.
BTW you know if some company have or will have the rights for macross zero? i want them on DVD(and i hope that ADV pick it instead of Manga) i just got tired searching for fukuyama fire, i ordered it, it should be here around the end of the month |
Someone have the Animeigo macross release?
is the transfer better than ADV's macross? |

In another more related note, Did we find out the differences between the animego and adv versions of macross? I bought the Zeta Gundam boxset recently and im intrested in picking up some macross as well. Side Note: been eyeing this airbrush up:http://www.hlj.com/product/tam74525 |
I started out with a cheap cheap Testors Aztek aircan airbrush and returned it promptly. I don't like using aircans as since they're about $20 a shot, this adds up over time. As well, I got a double action airbrush - Paasche VL, so you can control both the airflow and the amount of paint; the single action only allows you to control how much paint you want out, but the airflow is constant. This doesn't mean that single actions aren't good. I've seen very good kits done with only a single action. I also have an aircompressor. It's not blazingly loud, but annoying when the tank gets depleeted since the motor starts up again. I just bought some ear muffs and that problem is done and over with.
I suggest you get an airbrush locally, if possible, so incase if you've got questions and such, you can go back to the shop and consult. At one time after using it initially, I thought I broke it when I dismantled the trigger to clean the insides, but it was okay. Another thing to put into consideration is the cleaning required for a single vs double action. While I've gotten use to cleaning the double action, it may seem a bit intimidating with like 9 differernt parts to clean and put back together to make it work optimally again, where as a single action only has maybe 4-5 parts to put back together. Now cleaning isn't so much a big deal since I can put back my double action without too much fuss, once you use one pretty frequently. Also make sure what the return policies are. Again, it's your call! :) |
no dude, i have not confirm that, if someone have the animeigo release please post some pics.

From what I've read from Macrossworld.com forums:

at last, thanx spatula for the info, now im sure that im not wasting my money with my Macross DVDs from ADV

Plus I like the box art for the Animeigo set. I'm not sure what the prices are though, and I think that there's 3 boxes in total.

Quote:

True, I guess if you find a new box, TAKE IT!
|
i remember that i read that they lost the macross license, and all their macross products are now out of print, so eventually you wont find it anyomre (At least brand new and with the orginal retail price)
BTW i think that the animeigo macross DVDs were more expensive than the adv releases. |

hey dudes, here is something curious.
I was watching my Macross II DVD and in the last 40 minutes i noted something. When Hibiki is reporting to the people the truth about the Marduk, there is a shot of people watching the report on the street, and one of those civilians is Blade/Slade from TEKNOMAN here are some comparison pics: this is from the macross II DVD http://img214.imageshack.us/img214/2235/image1ko9.jpg this is from the show http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/7892/tekaman2yb9.jpg And this is from the DVD BOX released by Media Blasters http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/3452/qwedt4.jpg |
Probably an Easteregg. I'm too lazy to do any anime cross referencing at the moment but will watch Mac II when I have time again. LOL.
|
I don't think i could ever spot that lol. At some point, when I finally finish going through all of Tekkaman Blade tv series, I will let you guys know if i spot any Macross characters.

ok...
respect to DVD of Macross of Animeigo... it is certain that they already lost the license... it is certain that edition (animeigo edition) of Macross TV is very dificult to obtain... but... Today .... that edition is now on sale on Robotech.com... in other presentation... Harmony Gold ... that has the license of Macross in USA and is the company that it practically has to give to the approval for all product macross that it is sold in the USA. after Animeigo finished selling its DVDs of Macross... Harmony Gold on sale sent in exclusive right in robotech.com this boxset... (and as Harmony Gold remained with the Master of Animeigo...) http://www.robotech.com/images/conte..._93_2_7377.jpg this edition is practically the same that the one of Animeigo... http://www.robotech.com/store/viewproduct.php?id=93 Regards... |
wow, you sure know a lot hikaru!!!
hehehe but how can it be possible? Harmony Gold give permition to ADV to release Macross, why are they releasing the same product? |

lets hope that they licencing it soon! changing the subject anyone know who is gabriela robin?? the singer for the songs from macross plus??? |
Quote:
info by ANN.com A vocalist affiliated with composer Yoko Kanno who is known for singing in made-up languages in lyrics that she wrote. But the fact that no one seemed to have seen her before have made people speculate that she is actually Kanno herself under a pseudonym. Gabriela Robin in Macross Pluss Performance the song "Saint-U".... is good... :) works in Anime Industry Cowboy Bebop (TV) : Theme Song Performance (Ep. 9 - "Cats on Mars") Escaflowne: The Movie : Lyrics ("SORA") Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade (movie) : Lyrics (Grace-Jinroh-Main Theme-Omega) Macross Plus (OAV) : Lyrics (Sharon Apple songs), Theme Song Performance ("Santi-U") Macross Plus Movie Edition : Lyrics (Sharon Apple songs) Sousei no Aquarion (TV) : Theme Song Lyrics (ED), Theme Song Performance (ep 25 ED - Celiane) Turn A Gundam (TV) : Theme Song Performance (Moon) :cow: |
i see, that explains a lot.
i a pseudonym of kanno? wow |
New product coming soon, the movie (Do You Remember Love?) version of the SDF-1 Macross will be available this December. It's to 1/5000 scale, or roughly 24cm in length and can transform into both configurations:
http://www.noda-ya.com/goods/020/large/01878.jpg Transformed: http://www.noda-ya.com/goods/020/large/01878b.jpg Might decide to get it, if I can find some space to display it..... :beer: |
wow, its looks so cool!
But i prefer the Daedalus and the Prometeus, rather than the ARMD 1-2. I know that in the movie version it appears with ARMDS |
Well, scratch that. I was thinking of getting it but after seeing the price I don't think it's worth it. If you're interested, the retail price should be around Y15'540.00, that's around HK$1'010.00 or US$130.00?
Heh, heh, that's almost as expensive as the new YF-19 coming from Yamato this November. What, is it gold-plated or something?! Why is it so expensive?! Sheesh... |
i guess that for the makers, collector items means big $$$$$
|
..........
yeah...
I saw the figure days ago... is really great..... marvel... :cow: |
really, are you planning on buy one??
|
Guys, looks like Wave is coming out with a 1/5000 scale transformable SDF-1 Macross. I personally don't want it though - I've had VERY bad experiences with toys with moveable parts as their main feature.
|
it looks really cool dude.
|
It's probably not worth it, dude. Even a big Macross fan myself, I think it looks more like a toy than anything else. And spending half of the cost of a Wii on that is out of the question for me. But of course I have my exceptions and do buy expensive collector toy items.
|
hehehe, well if i have to consider a console or a collectors item, i would probably get the console too.!
|
What console? You lost me man.

WHAT HAPPEND TO HIKARU AND MISA..ANWERS HERE..MAY BE..
hi all macross fans..i like to share this with you..this is some kind of resaerch made..for poelple how study the posible reasons for the unfinished story of hikaru misa and minmay..
this is NOT oficcial..its most like a rummor..but it maybe trow some light in the subject.. this are the most voted reasons: the studio dont wont to contiune the story of th war heroes because Harmony gold made it first..and if you remember macross releasers never wont to see the ''robotech'' version of macross..its seem like an insult for macross.. (this is a resume..the explenation is more long..) and the other reason is the suicide of th guy who play the roll of hikaru ichijo..Arihiro Hase..it jump from his apartmet building..This occurred shortly after recording the Macross World Radio Show. the reasons are ''officialy''unknown..but judged by his ''friend''relation with mary iijima ..the guy seems in love of her..but she say that it was like a brother to her.. so in memory of the Arihiro Hase..nobody goes to play that roll.. take your own conclutions.. |
I always wanted to know what happened to Misa and Hikaru after they left Earth aboard the Megaroad, I was always hoping for some word as to their fate, whether official or otherwise.
Knowing now that Hase Arihiro is no more kind'a makes sense why no sequel was ever made, but I think there are other ways to continue the story or at least leave a footnote. Anyway, leaving the fate of Hikaru, Misa, their daughter, and the Megaroad unknown lends to the mystery as well, I guess. :beer: |
hmmm intresting, i never heard of that, and that explains a lot why the story never continued.
|
....
is simple ...
Shoji kawamori... it does not want to make that sequel already it has said... that retaking the history of Minmay, Misa and Hikaru would be lack of originality the concept of Macross for Kawamori is that it is an event... so... inside that event there are very characters with a history that to count... (according to its words) the own studio (studio nue) and the producers(bandai visual and Big west) already have even Proposed... |
With all due respect Mr Satan, would you mind if I personally redid the opening post for you, and make it more "up-to-spiff" and attractive? I'll post it in the testing thread, and get a mod to merge my opening post with yours. Is this alright with you?
|
yeah spatula, no problem with me, go on
|
ok...
again here.... after long time... XD the official page of Macross it has changes, after very years... this can represent a small indication of something new, towards the 25 Anniversary... (03/Octuber/2007) check the page... www.macross.co.jp to wait.... |
Sorry to go back to old arguments again, but seeing those images on that link, Hikaru....
....was Macross II ever considered canon in the Macross Universe? Didn't someone mention it was an alternate universe story or something and not a sequel or whatever? I seem to remember hearing about that... Nevertheless, those images capture every production that has appeared so far (not including games or manga); Macross, Macross: Do You Remember Love?, Macross II, Macross Plus, Macross 7, and Macross Zero. Can't wait to see what happens in October! :D |
macross 2 is a alternate universe story, nevertheless its a macross title that they cant just forget about. (juat my opinion)
anyway its good that they are . remodeling the macross website, it was too simple and basic for an animeted legend like macross. and im positve that they are working on something that will thrill us on october! *cross fingers waiting for a sequel to macross 7 and fukuyama songs involvement* |
mmm...
i hope that on next months Bandai or Big West say any news to respect... see ya... :deadhorse: |
Website update!
Thought I'd let you know a little bit about the update over at Gunota Headlines:
http://aeug.blogspot.com/ Quote:
Victor Entertainment's webpage hosting the audition for lead female role So it looks like there's gonna be another Macross feature coming up soon, though it doesn't seem to indicate whether it is a TV series, OVA, or movie. Just this piece of news has gotten me all psyched!! Hopefully the official website will shed more light on this when it is updated (hopefully soon)!! :D |
Finally something I'm looking forward to. Gunbuster got an "updated treatment", now hopefully Macross, and most of all, PATLABOR. That would be the icing on the cake.
|
....
NEW MACROSS ANNOUCED!!!! :starry:
Yeah... is confirmed, and is... a TV Series of 25 episodes... Shoji Kawamori is Writer and Director of new producction... the animation is by Satelight (animation of Macross Zero) In August more details of production... and... in the Macross 25th Aniversary Concert will be present the new Idol... ;) |
Yet another announcement but not a good one.

Rest in Peace Haneda-san. Thank you for your awesome contributions to music and to the Anime industry.
:( |
Hey now, Is there any news on who will compose the music for the new Macross anime? Personally , I think Yoko Kanno should do the job. Macross Plus' OST is unforgettable.

|
Thanks to a gaffer:
The new show is gonna be called Macross F (Frontier) and Is supposed to air in October. Original Work/Story Composition/Chief Director/Mechanical Designer: Shoji Kawamori (Macross, Aquarion, Arjuna) Director: Yasuhito Kikuchi (Aquarion) Series Composition: Hiroyuki Yoshino (Mai HiME, Code Geass) Character Design: Mikan Ehime* (Gravion Zwei, Prism Ark) /Yuuichi Takahashi (Aquarion episode animation direction) Animation Production: Satelight Yoko Kanno composer This is the appearantly the girl playing the new heroine: http://www.nakajimamegumi.com/index.html Apparently a 2 minute trailer was shown at the 25th anniversary concert which was held today. I'll link it if I find it. People who saw it said it had a Mac7 vibe. |
Ahh.. its almost like they heard me saying Yoko Kanno. My wish was granted. I will be watching this whenever it comes out. Please find the trailer!
|

http://img105.imageshack.us/img105/8...0144f66sy8.jpg http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/4...7148a9baz3.jpg From 2chan. Apparently the animation is really detailed like DYRL and the Valkyrie designs seem to have a hint of e7 in em. |
Well. I just hope it still carries on the same mood like in the classic macross' and neither one as disappointed me ... yet. Looking at the third pic has me worried already.
|
nice!!!! yes yoko kanno its back!!!
i cant wait fot it!! |
here again... after long time... why?... very busy...
now... lack... see the trailer.... jajaja... |
trailer??
there is a trailer?? where!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
......
yeah ...
has a trailer... the images that tokubetsu submit are from the trailer... the problem is that... out of the concert of 25th Aniversary, nobody has seen it |
Well, thought I'd hunt around a bit....found a trailer (I think it's a trailer) for Macross F (Frontier) on the Bandai Channel. For some reason I can't access it (I keep getting this "Sorry, you cannot access the contents" message everytime I try to go in).
Anyway, maybe you guys will have better luck. Follow the link below and click on the link in the middle of the page. You'll be at the Bandai Channel web page and will see all sorts of anime trailers you can watch (supposedly). The first slot with 『マクロスF(フロンティア)』 and a mugshot of a blonde girl is the Macross F trailer (again, supposedly. It just didn't work for me, neither of the bandwidth choices got me anywhere....) Bandai Channel News - Macross 25th Anniversary :><: |
Well there is a trailer I saw on the frontpage of the official website if that is what you've been talking about.
Seems like I can't find it now, but either way it's up on youtube:
|
|||||
This show has a lot of potential just by looking at the trailer. I'll definately watch this whenever it comes out. Thanks for the vid, zukan.
|
Wow, whoever mentioned the show having a Macross 7 feel was pretty much on the money (oh, it was Tokubetsu). In the beginning of that trailer you can see colony ships so I guess this where Frontier takes place. The main colony ship is a clam-shell colony, pretty much exactly the same as City 7 (from Macross 7). You can see it leading all the other vessels in the beginning.
Despite the poor quality of the video, what I saw was enough to get me excited about seeing this show. The action sequences look pretty cool and I hope there will be plenty of 'em! :D Looks good and hopefully it will be awesome!!!! :judge: |
Episode 1 of Macross Frontier is out by Seiyan fansubs.
So far I think this will be a pretty good series for the Macross line. It's always interesting to know how the future will progress for past series. And it looks like it'll be a good progression at that. The animation reminds me a lot of Macross Zero when it comes to battles. But the main animation used for regular character interaction seems pretty much like every other anime out there. Spoiler:
|
Just saw the shinsen subs. It got off with a pretty good start. The visuals were spot on, very detailed with impressive animations (during space battles). Music sounds like it took a trip back to Macross Plus, as expected. Looking forward to see the rest of this show.
|
Awesome! I just watched the subs from Shinsen as well. So far, the series is everything I was hoping for. I know it's just the first episode, but I got a really good feeling so far, like this is gonna be an excellent show.
I love the references and kick-backs to past series: Spoiler:
:judge: |
I've been cool with this so far, but Minmay 2.0 worries me with her Red eyes and Solty from Solty-Rei hair.
|
oks...
my opinion respect to 1st episode of macross F... in one word... Fantastic!!!... :starry::starry::starry: now... wait for next episodes... aaah... i need see it soon...:gonk: Macross rules!! |
im downing it but the speed its sooooo slow.
hope to watch it soon |
Anyone have any idea what happened to episode 2? I don't even see a raw out for it yet, let alone any fansubs. Some kind of holiday? Or was episode 1 merely a preview and the actual series airs at a later date?
Any info would be appreciated if you have it. :beer: |
Quote:
|
They aired the first episode as a 25th anniversary special. Teasing bastards :gonk:
|
Whut-da-devil?! ....well, that sucks....
Anyway, thanks for clearing that up, guys. :D |
good that the threat continues!!!
i watched the ep and totally loved it, the animation its good and the vf25 looks awesome!!! i hope that the songs are as catchy as macross 7, and ill be a happy guy |
According to ANN, regular broadcasting will start in April.
Now we'll just have to play the waiting game. |
yup just a couple of months away!!!
|
Well, episode one was released last week by only one or two fansub groups....probably because everyone thought it would be the same as the one released as the promo back in December. Though it's similar, there are quite a few differences.
For one, the new episode one includes the OP:
you can also see a little more into the personalities of Alto and Sheryl: Spoiler:
As there are extras, of course a few scenes from the promo were cut out too. Not that anyone will miss them really. Spoiler:
Another group has released episode two so I will probably catch that a little bit later on. :judge: EDIT: Ooops forgot about the eyecatch: the "Nyan nyan" restaurant commercial :D
:beer: |
||||||||
......
hello...
now here after long time... so... Macross F until these moments me it has left satisfied. the series to every time is more interesting... you already saw episode 3? the episode 4 miss macross 24/abril |
Really enjoying it so far. I already like where the show is going.
|
i have to catch up the eps, havent seen them yet, i just watched the op, its good, but i foind myself longing for for some fire bomber songs, LISTEN TO MY FIRE!!!!!!!
heheh, anyway, i like it! |
Quote:
Remember this song? :D |
That song's a good 15 years old, it must have sounded like Ace of Base - All That She Wants to Alto.
And that Nyan Nyan commercial is freaky because it really sounds like a Chinese restaurant ditty. |
Episode 3 was pretty good. More fleshing out the characters and seeing Altoh, Sheryl and Ranka's interactions is interesting and funny (the tuna buns LOL).
I can't wait to see more action coming up, though I was a bit surprised to see in the next episode preview.... Spoiler:
Also: http://h1.ripway.com/hikarub/snapshot20080421142317.jpg When Earth started it's colonization journeys, you can see in the pic all the expeditions that left in 2012. The MEGAROAD-01 can be seen, which supposedly was the mission headed by Hikaru Ichijo and Misa Hayase. On the other side is the MACROSS07. M-FRONTIER can be seen on the right. Amazing how they could launch all these colonies out in the same year. MEGAROAD-04 reached EDEN in the same year and sent its own colonies out in 2013. They must've had some amazing resources as well as Zentraedi technology to pull all that off. You can even see that one of Eden's expedition colonies is the M-GALAXY, the home of Sheryl Nome. Now waiting for episode 4 somewhat impatiently..... :tpg: |
Hi. Is there a lower-res encode of this anime? My PC has trouble playing the 1280x720 res videos, though I have CoreAVC installed, it's still slow.
Thanks. |
AiA & I-Z are currently releasing it in something like 704x396 res version (around roughly 174mb each I guess). The quality is pretty crisp and clear too, not like the promo 1st episode. Their episodes are in MP-4 format though so you'll need MpcStar to play the files.
AiA I-Z ~ Macross Frontier ep.01 AiA I-Z ~ Macross Frontier ep.02 AiA I-Z ~ Macross Frontier ep.03 :rolleyes: EDIT: Ah, it's 768x432!! |
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!
I also like how the SMS Commander/CEO? is continuing the tradition of grizzled badass space captains. |
Wow thanks hikarub! I'll test these out!
EDIT: Plays like charm. Thanks :) |
Episode 4 was pretty cool. Despite being mainly a training exercise for Altoh, the action was pretty intense and interwoven nicely with Ranka's side.
As for the Pixie Squadron's Captain Klein Klan: ZENTRAEDI version: http://h1.ripway.com/hikarub/snapshot20080502004320.jpg and MICRONIZED version: http://h1.ripway.com/hikarub/snapshot20080502004520.jpg Looks like something went a little bit wrong in the shrinking process.... :p (To those who have seen the original Macross series, the huge Tuna head on another table in the background should bring back memories! :D ) :judge: |
Quote:
Two comments: 1. Somebody on the design team has a profound love for San Francisco. 2. Why does Frontier have a bug up its butt over implants? Avoidance of a transparent society? Any nerds out there find backstory for this? |
The tuna:
In the beginning of the original Macross series, Hikaru and Minmay are trapped somewhere in the hold of the SDF-1 for several days. In order to survive they had to search for food and discovered a huge tuna fish floating around the zero-g cargo hold (they speculated that it must've been transported into space alongwith the SDF-1 when it tried it's fold system for the first time and accidently transported much of the island and surrounding sea with it). In one scene (or before I can't remember) where they enact a wedding (due to Minmay's belief that no one would rescue them and that they would die there) all that was left of the tuna was it's head sitting in a pan. Maybe that's how they make soup. :D |
Wow, I am loving this show so much. The whole thing is fanservice for those that saw the original Macross. It's got VF-25s that are strikingly similar to the VF-1, it's got Queadluun-Raus, it's got a grizzled awesome captain and bridge bunnies, and best of all, 100% less Minmei!!!
|
It also helps that the show is actually good. Shit is finally approaching realness, thank God. I wonder if the decked out guy in the preview is a controller of Vajra or just a Galaxy inhabitant with tons of implants.
|
Looks like the next episode is gonna rock!! I can't wait to see some real action when the SMS and Pixies start smacking the Vajra around (or will it be the other way around?). Either way, this is another episode I can't wait to see!
Spoiler:
Any news on a soundtrack release for Macross Frontier? The song Ranka sings (a Sheryl number from the first episode) in episode 5 is stuck in my head now. I really want this song!! :judge: |
Just out of curiosity, are there any groups besides Gattai and Anime in Action/Infinity Zero that are releasing this series quickly? These two are the fastest that I know of, but still take up to 5-6 days to make a release, but seeing the discussions I get the impression there may be a faster group that I'm not aware of.
|
As far as I know, Gattai and AiA/I-Z are the fastest so far to release episodes. Shinsen Subs are also out there but they've been taking their time with their releases (they haven't even released episode 6 yet). Others here may be checking out the raws or something I guess.... (or maybe some one here is part of a subbing group? Either in translating or QC?)
Possible....but I guess I should also point out that there are clips of episode 7 out on youtube already. I'll probably wait for AiA/I-Z though. |
Macross F just hit holy shit awesome territory. I already have a theory about that mysterious crimson plane:
I think it and the pilot have something to do with the Megaroad-1 disappearing without a trace in the center of the galaxy. Since he seems human is aware of culture, I'm thinking he maybe a descendant of those on board MEgaroad-1. Maybe they found something to colonize/new technology etc at the center of the universe. |
Quote:
So episode 7 was full of awesome. Definitely my favourite so far in the series... Guess we'll slowly find out more about Ranka's past, but next week's episode seems to be fairly easy-going and light hearted. PS: Spoiler:
|
Quote:
|
The Monster reminds me of how awesome a Battletech show would be. :sigh:
It also seems odd that they'd fold into Galaxy fleet, not actually see the Galaxy, then the previews show slice of life clips. |
I believe they only reached the area where the 6 Galaxy fleet ships defolded from in episode 6:
http://h1.ripway.com/hikarub/snapshot20080521232351.jpg I'm not too sure if they even know correctly where the M-GALAXY's position actually is due to the fold dislocation. Probably why they end up going back to the M-FRONTIER as in the episode 8 previews.... Quote:
http://h1.ripway.com/hikarub/snapshot20080521233646.jpg Shit, I don't even know what NUNS is....care to enlighten? The nature and design of their aircraft are very similar to the SMSs variable VF fighters so I'm guessing they're some what related. I'm guessing they're from another Macross Colony Fleet. I don't think they have anything to do with the MEGAROAD-01 though.... And yes, the pilot of the crimson fighter is obviously related to or somehow connected to Ranka. He uses that silver harmonica to play a few bars from Ranka's "lost" song, the song that is her only memory from her life with the 117th Fleet. He could be a survivor from that fleet too. Maybe. And why is the introduction to episode 7 so screwy? It mentions that M-GALAXY was the 21st Mass Colonization Fleet and was launched several years before the M-FRONTIER. But in the opening shot we see that amongst the original colony fleets that left Earth in 2012, http://h1.ripway.com/hikarub/snapshot20080521235245.jpg the M-FRONTIER is clearly seen (right-hand side). M-GALAXY isn't seen until after MEGAROAD-04 discovers and inhabits Eden: http://h1.ripway.com/hikarub/snapshot20080521235528.jpg (M-GALAXY is seen above Eden moving away from the planet). Something screwy going on here...... :eye: |
Continuity errors? Sound the horn of Nerddor.
|
I believe NUNS stands for New UN Spacey(Spacy?). I think it was formed sometime during or after Macross7. Where I read this is slipping my mind.
|
Well, I managed to answer my own question it seems...
The first Macross Frontier soundtrack will be released next month and seems to include all the songs so far featured in the TV series. A definite must-buy for me. I haven't been this excited about a soundtrack release since Haruhi and SEED Destiny.......speaking of which, did you all know that Aya Hirano and Rie Tanaka are featured in Macross F? :oo Quote:
:3: |
Aya Hirano and Rie Tanaka are two of the bridge bunnies. Rie is instantly recognizable (Suigintou hrhr), but Aya isn't using her Haruhi voice it seems.
One track title from that soundtrack really jumps out at me: アイモ~鳥のひと "Aimo ~ Tori no Hito". Bird Man. Sup Macross Zero :tpg: |
Quote:
What is the difference between songs #10 アイモ and #21 アイモ~鳥のひと? I know that it was mentioned on the official website that the latter was played in episode 3 during Gilliam's funeral/sending off. I assume アイモ was the ED themes for episode 1 and 7, but both songs seem exactly the same... :confused: |
Well, Bigblah, looks like the bird human in the songlist was there for a reason. Episode 10 was a Macross ZERO episode!!
Spoiler:
Hmmmmm......... |
Due to interest in Frontier, I've been going back and watching the original series for the first time. It's quite interesting, what with all the rampant 80's-ness to it (I haven't seen so many seizure-inducing screen flashes in ages) and seeing all the things that Frontier is making references to. It's all quite fun and I look forward to finishing the rest of the series (already acquired Macross Plus) at some point.
The female protagonists kind of make me rage, though. I figured Minmay would be a nice cute girl, but she's actually kind of a jerk in a huge way. I guess it could be her age, but she has no delicacy with choosing her words around the company she's in. I find Misa to be much more preferable, but then again she's still hopelessly stuck on her first beau. Ah well. More series need someone Focker/Global-esque. Awesome dudes. |
I'm looking for a torrent of the original series :( I haven't seen it in decade or so. If someone can find me some neat dvd rips, preferably not exceeding 200mb per episode, so that my interwebs can handle the size.
|
Really great episode and I loved how it was all macross zero related. Been meaning to rewatch the ova.
|
i already completed 10 downloaded eps, ill watch them in batch, and give my opion about them, i just watched the first one and i enjoyed it alot
|
The newest chart-topping hit from Ranka Lee:
I enjoyed that Macross Zero episode, although the fight scene looked really out of place (according to some people it was purposely done that way by a guest animator). |
|||||
I see the film makers of Macross have taken to the Charlie Chan method of characterization.
|
Episode 11 is late :(
|
Didn't broadcast this week, that's why.
|
....
oks.. here i am ... again after of long time ...
good... the final of episode 12 ... :gape: "Daichini sedai Macross kan"... aaaaahh ...uuuhh : :twitch: :o_O: :starry: episode 13 will be really interesting… yeah... macross F rules greetings... :cow: |
hey hikaru long time no see. good to have you back around here
|
Any recommendations on a good fansub group? I was following AiA&I-Z's work but they're pissing me off with their late releases. They still haven't released episode 11 yet and 12 has been released by other groups already. I would like to stick with one group for any one series but it looks like I'm gonna have to switch now.
Can anyone recommend between the following? Chihiro; gg; and Lunar? Thanks. |
Hmm... I've been following Shinsen, but they are slow as hell too. Seconding hikarub's recommendation request.
|
I'd go with gg (personal choice) or Lunar. Chihiro is definitely the speedsub variety of group, and while their work is okay (I guess) there are a number of weird errors that get through.
If you want consistency in your fansub from start to finish, though, I guess you should get Lunar since gg only started from episode 6 or 7 or so. Loved episode 12. The singing scenes in Frontier are so well done and exciting (or in this case, extremely cute). It also made me glad that I went and watched the original Macross, since the end of the episode would've had a much lesser impact had I not. |
I used to follow AiA and then they cancelled it (summer schedule conflicts), so now I'm with Chihiro or Lunar, whoever comes first (Chihiro usually, and they have decent quality).
<+macross_noob> WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE SINGING?! lol |
Quote:
oks... today the episode 13 is available i see the episode and can say....:gape: uuuuhh... Spoiler:
later I put my impressions of the episode… |
Thanks for the recommendations. I didn't know that AiA had cancelled their subs for this show. I guess I'll be going with gg then. Or Lunar. Guess it doesn't really matter...
|
i saw all eps until 10, and i must say, macross F rocks!
love how many reference it has to the other series(ep 1 rankas rescue)(miss macross)(macross zero) and while the music is not what i can say my fav(im a fire bomber guy) i enjoy it very much, love rankas Ninji-n Loves you yeah!(the carrot song!!!!)lol, it is the funniest macross too. |
New episode is the best way to do a clipshow, I suppose.
Spoiler:
|
That was impressive, I was actually entertained by a recap episode.
|
recap? is there a recap?? lol, i have to continue my eps, got stuck on ep 10

I almost raged hugely at episode 17.
Spoiler:
Sheryl got almost zero screentime last episode, so here's hoping she goes back to being an awesome force again soon. |
Told off. You and everyone else on the planet got pineapple salad trolled. The guys back at the animation studio are probably laughing their asses off right now.
|
Oh fuck. After all that pineapple salad trolling
Spoiler:
|
So, am I the only one disturbed by the pin-up art on the Monster that Ranka flies around in?
|
Nah, definitely not. You have to wonder what Ozma was smoking when he let that fly.
|
Also, I wonder how much emergency power went into Sheryl's spotlight?

Episode 21:

im making my way back to the series, i just watched ep 17
gotta love the references to old series.. but im impressed, they actually use macross 7 songs!! my soul for you and try again, and i must say that the parts that are used feels like were written to bond with the music! (well, im a macross 7 fanboy, but gotta admit the music fits perfectly) hope it gets better and better! just catch ep 20 Spoiler:
BTW now that the story is at the climax, i just noted a few things. the influence of previous series in macross frontier is really high, i just got some points. Spoiler:
|
Show over! Kinda ridiculous. =/
Spoiler:
|
It was ridiculous and way over the top. By my third watching I ended up loving it, though. They crammed as much throwbacks to previous series as they could in those 24 minutes
and it was all choreographed at a frantic pace, with a rocking song medley to boot. Fuck you Tails this series was worth it |
The references to past Macross series had me nerding out.
Spoiler:
I thought it was a decent ending to a great series, but hopefully the upcoming movie will be a continuation of the story and not a remake. There are way too many lingering questions that can't go unresolved. Forget Alto x Sheryl or Alto x Ranka. This is the real end to the love triangle: Spoiler:

i have my last batch of eps to complete the series, |
Like they weren't going to reach the planet.
|
I'm still waiting for the Lunar release, SO I'M CLOSING MY EYES AS I TYPE THIS REPLY
|
just watched the ending, i like it a lot, but "owner" motive leave me complitely unguarded!
and the references to old series keep appearing. there is a tribute to kakisaki in ep 24 |
That was a pretty good series overall, and despite some faults I enjoyed it immensely. I'm happy they at least confirmed our suspicions regarding Sheryl's heritage:
Spoiler:
Some questions though: Spoiler:
All the same, it was a fun ride. :D |
Spoiler:
|
anyone knows if there is a plan for sequels, movies or ovas??
it the long run, i still want more macross, lol |
Well, they're making a Macross Frontier movie.
Every Macross series gets turned into a movie. Whether in-universe or out of it. |
Anyone seen the All That VF videos on youtube? Pretty nice, basically a VF presentation for Frontier and Zero.
:D |
||||||||
Pretty neat. Now where's my Plus-version?
Paintjob was rather weeaboo <3 |
Speaking about the music; Anyone know of a good website with detailed info on the soundtracks? Looking for Composer/Lyricist info for a few tracks on the Macross The Complete box set. Nearly have it all off the web but a few of the songs left from Disc 3. :(
Too bad the booklet is in Japanese, otherwise... :D In case someone here is in the know these are the ones I need help finding! Mari Iijima /Whisper of the Stars: Mika Doi / Distantly Fading Memories: Mika Doi / Memorable White Christmas: Hiromi Tsuru, Miyuki Muroi & Run Sasaki / The Jingle Bells Have Gone: EDIT: Nevermind, found the answer on rec.arts.anime.music All are by Kentaro Haneda with lyrics by Akane Asa...Actually, nearly all of them are! ;) Anyway, I have made a decent track listing and artist info txt file if anyone wants a copy. |
Macross Frontier Movie trailer:
Anyone know when this movie will be available? Wasn't it like released a long-ass time ago?! I can't seem to find a subbed version anywhere.... :eye: |
|||||
Japs seem to release dvd of a movie about half a year later, then it's up to someone care enough to sub. It probably won't be long now~
