Save Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Does anyone know if they toned down the fan service from the last movie in the second one? I thought they had too much in the movie and it was not as bad in the series. I also did not like the shyrel vampire scene from the first movie. Did that happen again? Guess you never seen the second OVA of Dynamite 7 which trumps the entire Frontier series and first movie in Fan Service with in a span of 5 minutes. The movie opens in the same kind of flare the first movie had but something happens and at that exact frame to the very last frame of animation leading to the end credits the entire tone of the movie is anything other than lighthearted. Sayonara No Tsubasa is the Empire Strikes Back of the entire Macross series or movies. Still I'd take as much Black Bunny Shyrel as I can get, I need my fan service.

ATLMYK Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 I am a little bummed the one of my favorite universal bunny songs did not make it into either movie, Izolado(Isolation). When I first heard it I tried to picture what dark and sinister moment of the movie Sheryl would sing it. Maybe while being forced to sing while being held captive by Grace. When it did not show up in the 1st movie I assumed it would be in the second. So what was the new kick ass song this time? Btw for those unfamiliar with Izolado(Isolation) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LT80gpDnrNs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zinjo Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 He does fly the YF-24 as a test pilot. It's referenced in the Compendium here. http://macross.anime...YF-24_Evolution I believe it is from Technology Sheet 1P in Macross Chronicle. Then why fly the "old and broke", when he can fly the "new hotness"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SkullLeaderVF-X Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 (edited) So is the MF movies and tv series, going to be like the M+ movie and OVA? Where I can choose either one that I like more. Or just what I currently do with them and mish mash them together to make the best version of M+ in my head. Or will they be like DYRL. Where it's just a movie in within the tv series retelling the Vajra war? Edited March 1, 2011 by SkullLeaderVF-X Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where it's just a movie in within the tv series retelling the Vajra war? I would like to know too. I don't think it's going to be like M+ where you can mix both versions, because apparently this second movie doesn't follow the same story of the second half of the series and it has too many differences. Personally I would like this to be like DYRL, a movie within the series, or maybe they will choose only one version to be the "canon continuity", who knows?. I guess we won't know for a long time.

Well I already worked out a ending in my head that incorporates the t.v series and movie ending, to make me happy, if it does turn out to be like M+. But I feel the t.v series would be cannon, since it was....well...a 25 episode series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Just came back from watching the movie. I've avoided this thread for days, and I'm glad I did, I managed to enjoy it more than I was expecting. The best part? What else, but: "SMALL INTESTINESS"!!!! It doesn't happen again, but they come up with some even WEIRDER stuff for Sheryl's live scene at the beginning... Jesus, I had forgotten about that. That seriously freaked me the F*CK OUT. Come back, vampire-Sheryl, all is forgiven! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How is the audience reaction? It IS good. I can say I enjoyed it. Yeah, there are still some things where I was face-palming myself thinking, "oh, god, really??" but I guess some people like that kind of thing. Overall, really good entertainment, and visually excellent. Tenjin outdid himself: all the mecha, especially the large ships, look incredible. Not just by themselves, either, they look great in the way they're framed in the screen, etc. There are a few very memorable visuals that I thought I would like to have as a desktop background, and I was thinking this while watching it! I don't have a Blu-Ray player, so I'm glad I watched this on the big screen. Recommended. I was actually expecting this movie to be better than the first one anyway since I thought that one was just boring for the most part (I'd seen most of it on TV, I felt ripped off), but I can say that they outdid themselves with this one. Negative points? The story is really convoluted. I don't think people who haven't seen the TV show will get what's going on for the most part. Not that it follows the TV plot, but I mean you need to watch the TV show to understand the elements, then see how they're interpreted here. That's my attempt at a summary of impressions without giving anything away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The "RANKA LEE WITH LOVELY BOMBER" jailbreak, for example. Now I'm getting curious. Tell us! Sheryl getting married to Man-Sheryl, with flowers instead of heads... Nurse Sheryl surrounded by syringes... fetuses in test tubes that become Sheryls... It's nightmarish, ghoulish, and curiously hot, all at the same time.

I was not really impressed with the first movie, as you've said, we've seen it in the TV already. Something about the Mecha... Michael gets a Tornado upgrade, from what I learn from the toys. Does Luca get a Tornado too or other upgrades? What about Ozma? Is there a Klan 25S? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tochiro Posted March 2, 2011 Author Share Posted March 2, 2011 I was wondering if anyone already got his/her hands on the other poster of the movie. You know, the one with supersexy Sheryl and the trashed vf-25 on it? Tried to get my hands on one at WonderFest and they sold out TWICE. Can be easily found online for 3000-5000yen. Am contemplating on bidding for one, although theres always a chance they'll pop up for sale at a different event later on, as the Black Bunny poster did. Oh, theres a small '3D' version of the poster going on sale at cinemas from March 12 as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ATLMYK Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 10 1/2 months. I think the long time to disc was partly to blame on wanting the release as late as possible so the hype would still be pretty high when the 2nd movie hit the big screens.

Zinjo Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Question for the fortunate who've seen the cinematic marvel.... So what is with the Quarter's gunship splitting into 3 to fire? Does it still have that redonkulous twister effect when it shoots? Inquiring minds want to know... That is actually a good question. I can barely remember how they linked it in the series but it was linked somehow. I believe it was linked in the series by Sheryl simply hearing Ranka sing it...

reeoyuy Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 Few mecha-related questions: 1. Did Alto ever used armored pack for his VF-25F? Or YF-29 replaced both VF-171EX and Armored 25F role as his valk in final battle? 2. On that note, what about VF-171EX? Is it ever appeared or mentioned? 3. Any new 'movie exclusive' unit such as new Vajra type or never-seen before Vajra's ship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

raptormesh Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 (edited) Watched it on the 1st at Ikebukuro, pretty packed theater and there was a huge line to purchase the merchandise. Loved it immensely more than the series and yeah people were tearing up towards the end. Overall a pretty wonderful show despite not understanding most of the dialog, though my other half had no clue whatsoever and was rather pleasantly surprised at the songs. Picked up a 1/100 YF-29 model and Tenjin's Second Sortie from Animate right after! This probably have been mentioned before...but is that who i think it is in that VF-19 cameo? I shouted out in glee when I saw that scene. Edited March 4, 2011 by raptormesh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
