[Anime] Macross/II/Plus/7/Dynamite 7/Zero

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.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

it looks really cool dude.

FELIPE NO

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.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

hehehe, well if i have to consider a console or a collectors item, i would probably get the console too.!

Jam it back in, in the dark.

What console? You lost me man.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Nintendo Wii is a videogame console dude, as well as the PS3 and 360,
what i meant was that between a model and a wii, ps3 or 360 y would take any of the videogame consoles.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Sorry, I didn't read my above post to see what you were referencing to. Why would I take the gaming consoles instead of the toy? I'm pretty sure most people would know why. Yes, I'd put my money towards a gaming console, I can't see deriving the same satisfaction out of some static thing that will be collecting dust.

I was speaking idiomatically.

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..

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

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.





FELIPE NO

hmmm intresting, i never heard of that, and that explains a lot why the story never continued.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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...

Jam it back in, in the dark.

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?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

yeah spatula, no problem with me, go on

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

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....

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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!



How ya doing, buddy?

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*

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

mmm...
i hope that on next months Bandai or Big West say any news to respect...

see ya...



How ya doing, buddy?

Thought I'd let you know a little bit about the update over at Gunota Headlines:

Macross site renewal
Celebrating the 25th anniversary, Big West renews the official Macross site. As usual not much is available content wise, however Victor Entertainment is holding auditions for the next heroine of the upcoming Macross series.

Official Macross website
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)!!



What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

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.

How ya doing, buddy?

From April of 2000 until last month before his hospitalization, he hosted the Sunday morning TV Asahi program Daimei no Nai Ongaku-Kai 21 (literally, The Untitled Concert). He was known for his blending of classical, jazz, and popular music styles and for his live performance on several television programs.

Macross singer/songwriter Mari Iijima says that the Macross 25th Anniversary Concert on August 18 will be held in tribute to him.

Rest in Peace and thanks for creating a masterpiece,Mr Haneda.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Rest in Peace Haneda-san. Thank you for your awesome contributions to music and to the Anime industry.



I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

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.

I was speaking idiomatically.
