Well ideas are bulletproof... but switching to missiles and music might work. *rings buzzer* Who are the lazy bums at HG?
-
All the HD versions (H264 and Divx/Xvid) are compatible with VLC provided you have the proper codecs installed on your computer. -
Largely because the Western World is going too poor to afford Japanese imports in general. Just look at how much purchasing power western currencies have lost against Japanese Yen in the last 5 years:

It's the entertainment industry that has an apathy for producing Sci-fi. Sci-fi projects are much more expensive, time consuming, and complex then Cookie-cutter dramas. Hence Sci-fi producers and producions are a small minority in the entertainment sector.

Unfortantly it sounds like Toynami is downsizing just to try and survive like Bandai, Mediablasters, etc. Too bad Robotech doesn't have anything like mystic plants, space crabs that invade earth to reverse global warming, or "We will Win Get High" to cater to such a demanding audience.
-
You are like the Ron Paul of Macross fandom. He can't face you in a fair debate so he pretends you don't exist. Too boring. Make it a short, hot-blooded, in-your face, screaming rant.
-
It most certainly would under Bandai's remastering skills. Bluray video can store richer color and contrast levels that is impossible for DVD encodes.

I never save money for such doodads anymore. Instead I listened to "Rich Dad" and have started saving up assets that buy my doodads with cashflow. Go Steve Racer Go Steve Racer Go Steve Racer GO!

Sure does. It cause under 5.1 stereo its multiple audio channels that overlap and “pop” whenever the loud noises combine, but switch it to Mono and you only get a single audio channel with zero interference.
-
I'd also like to add I just tried Tom Yune's suggestion and it WORKS. So if the Remastered 5.1 audio track bothers you just turn your sound system to MONO and Bingo your back to the original Robotech audio from the 80s.

Character Art Appreciation Thread III

Same age as Demi Moore. And who knows? Maybe Demi Moore is alien as well after all she was born in Roswell, New Mexico. -
ADV used the very same remastered source footage and audio from Animego. The ADV Japanese track is the remastered 2 channel audio copied right out of the Animego DVDs minus the separate tracks for fandubbers. Its only the English track was given completely different SFX because the monotracks from 1982 don't work on today's 5.1 audio. As for Harmony Gold they are pretty adamant that Robotech was not and will never be just “an English dub of Macross.” Its a completely different show with its own unique SFX so forget about Rick Hunter's Veritech ever “sounding” like Hikaru Ichijo's Valkyrie.

I think its a Japanese/Russian shipping company. Judging by the national flags and the fact that Otaru is a port city on the Ishikari bay.

Just clearing up the conspiracy theories about what HG did with the "missing" Robotech audio. The Macross audio is frankly an old story I have read thousands of times on this thread.

Copied from http://www.robotech....stion.php?id=40 Q: I was pleased to see a remastered DVD series come out ... I'm trying to understand why so many of the classic Robotech sound effects had been completely replaced by new sound effects. - SergioOGamboa A: Robotech Remastered features new 5.1-channel audio with new surround sound tracks to take advantage of the latest home theater systems. However, the original monaural effects are still layered under there. For fans who prefer the nostalgia of the 1985 broadcast, sound engineer Bob Lacivita has recommended turning down the stereo and surround channels on 5.1 sound systems, leaving on only the center channel which mostly contain the original sound and vocal tracks (though there may be some bleed through from the surround channels). As a compromise, we also recommend leaving on the sub-woofer to keep the impact of some of the ambient rumble effects. - Tommy Yune

Awesome work! The first piece with the glowing "tinkerbell" pilot really reminds a lot of the Macross 7 scene when Sivil and Basara first met.

Any possibility of Macrossworld con 2012 at UCLA? I don't know if it will be of any help, but I got a close family member that is a top member of UCLA's Capital Planning & Finance department.

Character Art Appreciation Thread III

Anyone know where the image is from? I am looking for a higher quality image. -
You should have seen Yune at Anime Weekend Atlanta last September. At closing ceremonies he joked to the audience how lucky they were to have so many female fans attend cons because "back in his day" the only girl he ever saw at conventions was... his own sister.

For the record I meant it as a numbers joke not a political joke. Personally I like to call'em the Robofellars and Robochilds of the RWO I hear you. I like to say "I'm a Macross fan that enjoys a HUGE selection of Japanese imports," every time Robotech fanboys I know lament about lack of new stuff from HG. Its your cute "effeminate" avatars of Misa and Minmay that is to blame for the false impression. All you need is Haruhiko Mikimoto artwork that is more butch like say Veffidas.
-
So in other words the thread is being "Occupied by the 99%" of Robotech Fans...
-
Good find. I think its very likely the creator is a Macross/Robotech fan. The kid doesn't just have a Valkyrie he looks like Roy Fokker and has a black girlfriend as well. If you have a decent proxy you can watch it through Hulu.com. Its episode 4: "Interracial McAdams". Nah can't read Japanese...yet. I just enjoy the fantastic artwork.

Thanks for the clarification. I know right? and its such a distraction from the Ozma Lee clone standing in the background.

Ozma Lee in a hentai doujin!

Chinese Dress Grace > Office suit Grace? BTW anyone know how to contact Chiba Toshirou for commissions? Something tells me he is a Macross Frontier fan with a knack for drawing Chinese dresses. Really? I thought it was just another "character archetype cameo" and not THE Ismu Dyson. Similar to to the Guild Bowman clone that is seen as an angry truck driver in Macross 7.
