  1. You'll notice that the extra grainy and soft scenes are almost always the ones with the Japanese subtitles for the Zentradi speakers. That's because those were optically composited the same way OP/ED credits would be back in the day. You're taking the animation film (yes the film, not the cels), stacking it with the text film and then photographing that to get the final image. This is inherently a lossy process and if done quickly can look sloppy. For a truly great DYRL remaster they would have to dig out the original negatives for just the animation for all those scenes, but given how quickly the production went and that we've never actually seen those scenes unsubbed I'm not sure those negatives are still around. That and it's just easier to run a complete reel or two of the "final" thing instead of digging out potentially hundreds of individual scenes and then having to re-edit the whole thing together again.
  2. Macross Modelers webcast didn't exist when these kits first came out 😛
  3. I'm honestly quite amazed that they're doing completely new bodies for each, limbs included because the size difference is significant and they thought it worthwhile.
  4. Someone else seems to have been slowly whittling away at making the existing kit into a 1/20 Battroid.
  5. No new Macross kits for May, all we're getting is a reissue of 1/48 VF-1S/A Strike/Super Skull Squadron http://www.hasegawa-model.co.jp/product/mc03/
  6. Those are 100% old Wave resin kits. Specifically this is the Wave ad from the December 1995 issue of Hobby Japan, page 186. This is why archiving old print media is important :V You are unlikely to see announcement with fully finished product photos in black and white in modern days.
  7. Someone definitely trying to get Hasegawa to spite announce a 1/48 YF-21
  8. Only reason I have five VF-31 VFG is because I wanted to make them into Walkure! But things got in the way and now I can just buy the ready made Walkure and probably get rid of the four unbuild vanilla VFGs.
  9. 2025 onward - buying the full set in bulk for half the price when some poor bastard who pre-ordered them all suddenly needs immediate cash. 😛
  10. Traditionally animated robots are inherently rubbery and no amount of fanwank is ever going to make them completely physically consistent. And that's perfectly fine! Honestly that's more than fine! Old Battroid look amazing because they had their own appeal designed into every mode! Meanwhile the 3DCG era designs trying to perfectly physically consistently unwrap a beautiful fighter and end up with a skinny, boring and ugly Battroid with no appeal of its own.
  11. Really glad Reina's hacking skulls are there
  12. All the PLAMAX Battroids looks straight up amaaaaaaaaaaaaazing and I'm so glad we have companies stepping in to pick up Bandai dropping the ball
