Bio Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) I have found this very rare videotape since 1984 A series of mainly mecha and some character scenes from Macross "TV On Air Version" set to Macross background music and Lynn Minmay songs. The video includes an unbroadcasted version of the opening title sequence without the actual printed credits, as well as the first ending title sequence (of Hikaru's sunset-lit racer) with the printed credits and the second ending title sequences without them. Video Tape 45 minutes, VHS, color, Hi-Fi Stereo VTG-38(VHS) VBG-38 (Beta II) Maker: Emotion (Bandai) Distributor: Victor 1984 July 12 (discontinued) Y9476 Y9800 (tax included) http://www.hongfire.com/forum/attachment.p...mp;d=1213471025 Good download Edited June 18, 2008 by Bio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I thought it was slightly dull, but I'm glad I have it, even if it's on a moldering videotape... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boinger Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I do have a copy of Macross Mecha Grafitti under the Miscellaneous Macross Video folder. I'm downloading this "new" copy of Mecha Grafitti to see if it's a better version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veffidas Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 (edited) Screenshots of the newly released version: You can see it has some banding issues at the bottom. There's also a small commentary by the capper at the end. Edited June 17, 2008 by veffidas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boinger Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 This "new" mecha graffiti is a keeper. I'll upload to the imacross4 server asap. I know I can fix the vhs banding by doing a little video editing cropping. I'll fix that banding later when I put this video together with an M 20th updated subtitles dvd.

ayukawa Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 i had no idea this would actually go over as well as it did. i mean, seriously, i did not expect it to get more than a couple of hits at most. those i assumed would be just curiosity things. anyway, i did not remove the banding because it reminded me of the old days. and, i would like to ask you do not remove the little note at the end. please. thank you, and if there is anything else you are looking for, please feel free to ask. my collection is quite extensive and you never know what i may or may not have. in fact, after near 25 years of collecting, i never know what i have anymore.

TheLoneWolf Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Someone had it and promised a subbed DVD version forever ago and it never happened... The subbed DVD was completed, check out the post below. http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?show...st&p=501320 It was supposed to be available for sale to all MW members with the proceeds going towards the cost of running MW's servers. But that never happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eevli Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 (edited) The Macross DYRL TV Special: For the record I have posted it here. This is the finished version with English subtitles. Victor blocked it for USA and maybe other countries so you may need a proxy to view it. I know this is an old thread but in case someone comes looking there you have it.
