wow... Shoji Kawamori sensei did a great job with Aquarion's anime of combining 3D and 2D. Now, he is on fire with Macross F.

Thank you, sensei...

Thank God!!!!! God Marz is definitely a combina!!!!!

I did have an old Chogokin GodMarz when i was a boy... then my mom threw it away when my family immigranted to Canada.

So sad...

Definitely I will buy this new version.

Not at all. That's the beautiful part.

So I guess WB will go along with the Alpha and armor bikes mech design?

They don't necessary have to produce the Macross saga... right?

So the licenses issue is resolved?

Gundam sells itself... Robotech does not.

not exactly... Turn A didn't do very well @ the beginning as everyone hate the mech design of Turn A Gundam. (For those don't have time to watch the TV series, I recommand you to watch the movie version)

However, it did become one of the best Gundam show with great 2D animation and rich storyline...

What does RT:SC have... outdated CGI, bad dub, cheesy 2D animation, questionable character designs, predictale storyline, "MIA" Rick Hunter...

Kinda like this quote from the ANN review:

"But where the visuals really fall down is in the 2D work. Characters have that hybrid anime-style-drawn-by-non-Japanese look that has become synonymous with Korean anime. The costumes are basically paint-on jumpsuits over Ken and Barbie-with-implants body types, not one of them deviating from another."

-ANN Reviewer

Sounds like even Pokemon has better animation!

I still don't understand what is HG and Tommy thinking... They are trying to draw new fans to the Robotch franchise with crappy production?

I know they are short of money but I think money can be spent better than that...

It is good that Bandai/Gundam never follow this way of marketing...

I think this movie already served it's purpose... to get us pay to check out how bad the movie is.

It has nothing to do with Transformers, or even toys... just pure $$$.

Dunno about Vancouver proper, but Lougheed Mall out in Burnaby had a few in the EB. The lineup had already started when I went by for my dental appointment.

I wish I can line-up too... but work is getting busy lately with Christmas. (need to finish repairing several servers before holiday)

My next chance is Toyrus. They have a new shipment coming on Saturday however I cannot lineup overnight. I guess i am not playing Wii during holidays.

I still haven't able to buy one @ Vancouver, Canada yet...

Anyone has any suggestion?

You know, when I first saw the pics of the bots and the toy pics I kind of liked them. I thought they had potential. Even the mutilated version of Starscream, my favorite character. Now I'm disappointed in their appearance, because they all look the same to an extent. That wierd, insect like face and kibble everywhere. I thought maybe it would be a good look for the decepticons, but not the autobots. Every bot other than Prime looks kind of sinister. I just wish there was more diversity in their looks. On the other hand, I really like Ratchet's body style. If they changed the head I'd be impressed.

The worst is Autobots look evil... they all have that evi looking face...

Don't get those Sunrise Eiyuutan games... they are crap.

Super Robot Taisen series games are always good.

Zeonic Front (not in your list) and Gundam vs. Z Gundam are the best Gundam ever, period.

I know this "OVA" suppose to introduce Robotech to general public "again" + attract anime fans to it. However, those "low frame rate, out-of-date" CGs really are making the Robotech series look even worse...

And you are asking money for it?!?! What is HG thinking?!?

If I have $30 in my hand @ best buy and looking to buy an Anime DVD, Final Fantasy VII Advent Children is way more eye-catching then RSC.

First of all... the voice acting and the dialogue are terrible!!!

"Oh Yea!" and "my wife is going to kill me!" are like copied from Family Guy. Geez... that's not right for a sci-fic anime ova.

The 3D is not impressive if i need to pay $2x dollars for it. It is only around the level of Transformer Galaxy Force, maybe even less. The frame rate looks below average as well.

The only good thing is the 2D. The scene with Janice thou... hmm... how her face changed looking, that's a common error for low budget anime.

It's good that they gave up on the live-action version of Evangelion... (or not...)

Sounds like SC can be the downfall of HG... XD

Considering they let Tommy Yune do the character designs & direct it, they truly only have themselves to blame.

Tommy Yune character designs are very lifeless. Even Pokemon has better character designs.

Sounds like SC can be the downfall of HG... XD

I have the Japanese SRT:OG2. It is the best looking GBA game.

I play it on the NDS Lite... the graphics is somewhat better than a lot of DS game.

And, OG2 is one of the hardest game I ever play. Some levels are impossible to beat without thinking ahead.

Thanks for posting the link to the review chowyunskinny, much appreciated.  And Darkwater is a big fan of the show, famous on the RT.com forums, so I think his review is very credible.  Good, but not great.  Ah well.  There was just way too much anticipation for this movie.  But I'll still buy the DVD.

I'll rent it first. I don't feel "safe" for me to buy it since a hardcore RT fan gives it 3/5. I'll probably give it a 1 or 2 out of 5 since I am not a RT fan.

As for SC's 3D, I think HG try their best with limited resource to make it. (I'll try not to compare it with Macross Zero. )

Got my copy today @ bestbuy ($25.99 @ Richmond, BC Bestbuy)

Visuals are super, sound effects are great, 5.1 is heaven... the best $26 i spent on a Anime DVD so far.

They avoided answering the question of Bandai vs HG...

I will just stick with the Alien vs. Predator acrade game by Capcom. Another AvP movie from Fox... no thanks.

the character designs and the quality of the drawings remind me of those low budget CG anime, for example... Zoids.

I don't believe it.

Me either...

How are they going to translate those "super final move", like the SRX cannon...

talk about brokeback jedi.

No wonder romance is not allow in the Jedi order...
