Dang...when I saw that pic I thought maybe those Terminus basterds already started nibbling on his pinky!
-
No apologies required!!! .....as for "everyone" loving mecha.....heck if I know...but apparently, to the chagrin of Kawamori, his Macross TV show sponsors for the last 30 years sure do...
-
So then what is the point of making an argument for eliminating transforming mecha, or any of the other pillars from Macross??? It apparently, based on the past 30 years of Macross TV shows, is approached as a "package" by those funding it's development as a televised series...again, Kawamori is complaining about that....but to who...the fans? Impossible.....based on the argument that music is where it is at and all that is required.....He is complaining because the sponsors just do not want to risk their investment in making a Macross TV show that is too "different" from what they are used to sponsoring for the last 30 years....I am not making any of this stuff up....it is all based on actual observations of what has actually made it to the screen....unless there are some ultra secret Macross TV series that only some fans are aware of? Did that gritty Destroid pilot drama get animated and televised in Japan and everyone else in the world missed it???

It's really not that bold of a statement.....for 30 years...Macross animated productions have included the 3 pillars of Macross...transforming mecha, Music, and Love triangles......it's just as bold a statement as saying that Star Wars: Episode 7 will include aliens, lightsabres, and spaceships.... Like Episode 7, I have no clue what the background story for the next Macross TV show will be (I'm happy to wait and find out, but I also do like me some good old fashioned speculation!).....but I know what has a high probablility of making it onscreen based on what has come before it.....that is all I am saying...nothing more or less..... Read my post...it does not matter...sheesh!

That's a lot of Macross 7 valks warming the shelfs of HKC! I hope retailer feedback does not deter Arcadia (is that even taken into consideration?) into making a few more valks I'd like to see from that series.....namely some Varauta valks, the rest of FB....and the VF-5000 and VA-3...... I'd be interested in hearing the perspective of a retailer like HKC regarding toys in general that do not end up selling well....are they given a chance at corresponding with the manufacturer's in regards to suggestions or opinions on what they believe would sell or not sell well at market? Perhaps only feedback from the largest retailers weighs in on any product development?
-
Not progress....just change.... However, it is irrelevant....as the next TV show will include transforming mecha....unless you are suggesting it will not? So if the next TV show still includes all three Pillars of Macross....what exactly will be the point of saying that one of the pillars is responsible for more of Macross sales/profits than the others? The fact is all three are required to continue to generate any interest in a Macross TV show....especially from a sponsor's pov....there is 30 years of proof to back up that claim....it is what it is...
-
Nope...wrong again Gubaba....all I said was that eliminating the transforming mecha pillar would upset many long time fans especially when it comes to an amimated TV series... Let's face it, each of those "pillars" are dependent on the other, eliminate any one of them in a new animated series and someone is bound to get miffed.... That's why Kawamori was complaining...apparently there must be a lot of pushback from the major sponsors of his work, namely Bandai, when it comes to altering the 30 year formula of Macross animated works, regardless of what aspect of the show garners more sales....seems like it is an all or nothing requirement for a Macross TV show to receive financial sponsorship....I for one have no problem with that....he's always free to continue to "experiment" via other media....like "Musiculture" which hardly anyone on this board, the world...or even Japan has ever seen....
-
Well....there have been toys based on their appearances in video games...but a MtF line of toys seems remote... IMO...a MtF VF-1J or D would have been perfect candidates for a webshop or magazine exclusive....oh well...

A kid's book like others I have posted, but this one includes a 33 rpm "flexi" record...probably the spoken text in the book....have not played it yet, so no idea if the voice actors are the same as the TV show or if there are SFX sounds from the show.....someday I'll find out....
-
I'd buy one...I just don't think I can build it....an online group build...section by section...week by week...lead by a master kit builder would be very helpful with this kit...
-
So I'm wrong because I pointed out that it is logical for a 30 dollar CD to outsell a 200 dollar toy? You are pure genius...and I mean that in the nicest way!
-
You don't think that article would be interesting to read....especially by some of the newer board members that may not be familiar with the history behind Takatoku's eventual demise?

Macross Frontier Movies BD Boxset WITH ENGLISH SUBS!
jvmacross replied to Tochiro's topic in Movies and TV Series
Does the "free shipping" offer come with tracking or any kind of insurance? To those that have had a chance to really go over the books.... I just briefly had a chance to thumb through the two books (who knows when I will be able to actually view the films)....but it seems most of the illustrations and production genga can be found in the various previously published Macross F books. Besides the cover art for the BD boxes....is there any other new art in these books? -
Yeah.....not even Experten has attempted that beast! Would the AZ-130A be tougher to engineer as anything remotely resembling a line-art accurate PT valk than even the VF-11MAXL?
-
YOU can't infer what my answer would be based on my post?.....sorry I can't possibly make it any simpler for you..... But anyway, how much more expensive is a Macross PT valk compared to a Macross CD? Wow....so if the number of individual units of expensive Valks sold does not exceed that of individual CD sales......we should infer that VF and Mecha "pillar" should be eliminated from Macross? Really?
-
Several of this seller's Macross cel listings have been repeatedly relisted...and always at the same prices......he has much patience and it appears it will be rewarded soon enough! Iconic cels are priceless anyway.....
-
Of the three pillars...the loss of any VF mecha on a heavily sponsored animated production would surely enrage the majority of long-time fans.....he can "experiment" all he wants with musicals that barely anyone outside (or inside?) of Japan are able to enjoy..... It's funny that he would "complain" about it.....I guess in a way he painted himself into his own "creative" corner, in terms of the animated shows........but if anyone can change "the pillars of Macross" it would be him and he would need to sell "the change" to his sponsors....namely Bandai....and how hard would it be to abandon a 30-year formula of success?
-
You need to sign up with a proxy service that will allow you to place bids and then receive the items for you in Japan...pack it up....and then ship it to your country.... All you need is time and money!....but mostly money....
-
Yes...of course. The parallel world explanation is merely a device to shrug off inconsistencies between the shows. It's Macross's Grand Unified Theory! However, the three main concepts of Macross will never change and can be expected to be played out in each animated series, including the next one. Thanks for posting the vid.

Been looking for a complete set of these Bandai E-Graphics cards/postcards......never expected to find an new, old-stock box full of them! Funny thing is cards is one genre of Macross collecting that I have never been into...but I do collect Macross postcards.....so an exception had to be made!....
