The Thread About All Things Macross

Dismissed without prejudice though - they can have another go in the future.

Time to get Bandai involved. Bandai's deep pockets are enough to frighten Harmony Gold off, just like Hasbro's were.

Macross Franchise Gets New Delta Film, New Crossover Concerts

The "Walküre Senjō no Premium Live Event at Toyosu Pit" announced in Tokyo on Sunday that production has been green-lit on a new Macross Delta film. The event also announced that the Macross franchise will hold two "Crossover Live 2019 at Makuhari Messe" concerts in June.

The announcement specifically describes the upcoming Macross Delta film as "entirely new" — as opposed to this year's Macross Delta the Movie - Passionate Walkūre, which compiled earlier television anime footage with some new sequences.

The "Macross Crossover Live 2019 at Makuhari Messe" concerts will feature singers from every Macross television series. In particular, they will include Mari Iijima (first Macross series and film's Lynn Minmay), Yoshiki Fukuyama (Macross 7's Basara Nekki), Chie Kajiura (Macross 7's Mylene Jenius), May'n (Macross Frontier's Sheryl Nome), Megumi Nakajima (Macross Frontier's Ranka Lee), and the five Walküre idols (Macross Delta).

The concerts will take place at the Makuhari Messe venue's International Exhibition Halls 1 to 3 in Chiba on June 1 and June 2. People can apply for the random drawing for the first round of tickets from September 23 to October 9 on the official Macross website.

A digest of the previous Walkūre 3rd Live concert began streaming on Flying Dog's YouTube channel at 9:00 p.m. on Sunday.

I am considering buying Dynit release of Macross Plus now, but can we expect US or UK Blu-ray release of Macross franchise to come out after 2021?

Unless Harmony Gold (the company who made an Americanized version called Robotech) dies, NEVER.

[Gouki]

About as much chance as getting the theatrical Star Wars OG Trilogy on BD, or uncensored Ghost in the Shell manga.

But I was ruled in court that they lose the license in 2021 so it could be possible. Unless the Japanese licencor are dumb enough to renew with them

Never underestimate the stoopid. Never....

I just bought this VHS from ebay:



Dutch VHS with the first two episodes of Macross. I didn't even know of this tape's existence or that the defunct German label Japan Home Video had an office in the Netherlands.

I'm anxious to find out what's on the VHS. It could have the:
- the English Harmony Gold dub, but there's only a Tatsunoko logo on the cover
- the German dub, because there's still German text on the packaging
- a mysterious Dutch dub no one ever heard of
- original Japanese

I also found out today that UK label Kiseki Films released Dutch subtitled VHS tapes of the Toho English dub of DYRL and the Macross II English dub. Not sure if I want to go after those tapes too.

[NLScavenger]

Found out that their Honeybee Hutch and Kerokko Demetan tapes have the Dutch dub, so I'm positive that there's a Dutch dub on the tape. I'm planning on merging the Dutch dialogue with the music and effects track from the AnimEigo/Madman DVDs.

I've also acquired the DYRL tape now.

[professorwho]

Didn’t the Madman DVD of the series have higher quality audio than the ADV release? Or am I just remembering things?

Yeah, the AnimEigo and the Madman DVD have audio from high quality magnetic tapes that were provided by Big West. The ADV DVDs have audio from a lower quality optical source.

I had the Kiseki VHS tapes of Clash of the Bionoids and Macross II - from memory Macross II was spread over three tapes. The Clash of the Bionoids was the crappy English-dub. I'd already got DYRL at that point so Clash was very much not worth it, beyond the novelty value of the English track which was that bad you'd probably never want to hear it again anyway.

"You can still fight when yer drunk!"

I finally watched the entire dub. Geez, that dub is bad.

Got a good laugh when Roy got killed. Hikaru yells "Sempai!" in the original version, but in the dub he yells "Minmay!" for some reason. Such a great friend that Hikaru

lol @ the names:


Yippee-ki-yay Mr. Falker

[professorwho]

If the license somehow is allowed, the old dub(s?) should be included in any release.

Aren’t there multiple English dubs of the film? I think there is...

[CouncilSpectre]

Two versions of the same dub from memory, ie a dub of DYRL, and then an edited down version of the same dub for CLASH.

Macek wanted to dub it when they were looking at doing a Robotech movie, but they ended up with MEGAZONE instead.

Hoyashi Miza is one my favorite animation directors; that Studio Gibby produce some great stuff.
