IdeaOfEvil Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I just ordered. It would arrive at my home in 2 days (June 24). Thank you again sir. Still available on HMV Japan. Make it quick to order it. Thanks so much! It was so odd, I was looking around last night at online import shops and for some reason HMV.jp said it was backordered. But when I clicked on the link you provided it reverted to in-stock status. Anywho, ordered! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 It's here. Unboxing video coming tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macross_Fanboy Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 but wasn't father's day this past Sunday.... Yeah, well I told her in advance and she still hasn't ordered it. Now Amazon JP is in a backorder status. She ordered through Bandai Visual, but it seems like we have to wait for them to get back with us on their stock status. I even told her these things will sell like hotcakes and once they've run their production run, they're DONE. On the plus side, walking around the Tokyu Square here in Aobadai, I saw Macross Zero on Blu for 12000 JPY. Might take that as consolation...

treatment Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 (edited) Alright fools, where the hell are the screen caps?! Stop holding out on us! For reals though, I'm quite serious. Here's some couple of scene-shots comparo(BD vs DVD-remastered): vs vs The BD quality is definitely more vivid in colors and much cleaner than the previous dvd-remastered version.

Macross_Fanboy Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 huh? r u implying that there is ONLY one production run? ouch! wps I don't recall finding DYRL on Blu-Ray a year, or so, after its release here in Japan by going to the shops. I can only find the much-rejected Macross Zero and Macross F, 21st century Macross isn't as hot or wanted as 20th century Macross it seems LOL. Here's some couple of scene-shots comparo(BD vs DVD-remastered): vs vs The BD quality is definitely more vivid in colors and much cleaner than the previous dvd-remastered version. Definitely a diff, but the hud pic of the DVD remaster isn't available, a good screen cap would be of all the computer screens you see through out New Edwards.

Macross_Fanboy Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Man it sure does look like it was re-animated. I feel watching just these screens like I did when the OT SW set first came out on DVD looking so crisp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renato Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Oh, god, I'm watching that episode 4 dub now. One line cracks me up."GET. OFF. MY. ASS.. And stay outta my way!" Just the way he reads it, it's hilarious. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strumvogel Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Mine is going to take till the end of the week to get to me, I had it bundled with another order. It'd atleast mean I'll have the weekend to go over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marzan Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Just went into DHL's website and it's cleared customs and should be delivered either today or tomorrow. Yay! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macross_Fanboy Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Alright, got word that they're shipping my copy tomorrow. Being here in Japan, hopefully it gets to me by the evening if their distribution site is in Yokohama. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Should have mine tomorrow afternoon, it's gotta go through that dumb cycle of arriving at my post office, trying to deliver when I'm not home and leaving a note, then telling me I can pick it up the day after. Is there some way I could just tell the post office to hold everything until I pick it up, since I'm never home when they're actually delivering? Short of getting a PO box, I mean.

Marzan Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 GOT IT! But I didn't know that DHL now charged you the customs fee on your door so my happiness was somewhat subdued by a 55 euro customs charge. No matter. As soon as I have time I'll see the movie version.

Britai 7018 Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 Just picked up my copy this morning and started watching the first OVA episode... it looks amazing! I love it when I notice things that I never had before... Things like when Isamu is avoiding the missiles in the first battle his VF-11B has its wings swept back in "rocket" mode and being able to clearly see the carriers through the glass while he's being chewed out. Highly Recommend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
therealfolkblues Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Got my copy today. Not including Battle of the Planets and Robotech, this is "the" Anime that really got me started and I would say culminated with Cowboy Bebop for me. Currently subjecting my 7 and 4 year olds to it and they seem to like it. I can die happy now lol... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marzan Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Opened it up to check that everything was in working order before throwing out the carton and bubble wrap. It looks absolutely gorgeous, specially in the OVA. The colours are so bright and everything looks so sharp. Cannot wait to thursday to see the movie version.

Got my copy in the mail today and wish my mother in-law had a Blu Ray player. It's the two books that came with it are amazing. I bought it for the movie rather than the OVA, the only sweet part of the OVA is the opening scene with Isamu laying waste to his buddies and renegade Zentran LOL!

Strumvogel Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Heh, I made a mistake and the other product I bundled my copy with actually doesn't get released until July. Ah well, I can wait. Plus side is that with the discounts actually makes the shipping that little bit cheaper. ::Quickly skims topic::: What? No one's said it yet?! I just watched the movie edition, and all I can say is "THIS IS ANIMATION." So I take it that it doesn't have the problem from the original release which had the picture a little bit darker than it should? As I remember it, even the LD version had that problem.

TheLoneWolf Posted June 25, 2013 Share Posted June 25, 2013 Finished watching Movie Edition and it doesn't use Manga's old subtitles. "Bromance" was definitely not part of the 90's lexicon. Even though there's the occasional awkward conjugation, I have to commend Bandai Visual for giving us a brand new translation. If anyone from Bandai is reading this...THANK YOU!

Tochiro Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Maybe it's just me but I've never seen the point/purpose of unboxing vids. I don't get why they are apparently so popular. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It gives us a good idea of what's in the box, and how big some of the items are. And in some cases, it might tip people (like me) over the fence to buy it.

And for me, the surprise of opening it is half the fun. For me an unboxing vid is like youtubing the final climax of a movie you already have tickets for. Anectodally, the majority of people who watch such vids have apparently already decided whether to purchase or not. But to each their own. Its just another internet phenomenon I personally find useless (also rather western-oriented, interestingly enough. I seldom see similar videos posted by Japanese fans).

Because unboxing/unwrapping vids are done for a lot of childrens toys. Every time I watched YT with my daughter she was watching some Anpanman or Doraemon or Hello Kitty crap being unwrapped and played with or eaten. It's weird for sure, but she likes it, she's 3.
