Honestly in my opinion I really like they made Yellow sing in Robotech as they feel like real songs especially the song Lonely Soldier Boy (not to be confused with the Japanese OP of the same name)

While it’s part of the lyrics, “Lonely Soldier Boy” is not the name of Mospeada’s OP song, the title is actually “In Search of Lost Dreams”.

well with 2024 coming to a close in short order,  I played some catch up with Arifureta,  and Danmachi.

Ep 12 of both are delayed..  Arifureta is 1/20/25,  not sure if Danmachi actually announced a date for Ep 12..  so indefinately?

 

Nothing on the radar for Winter 2025 season at this point.   

 

 

Danmachi is delayed until the spring anime season according to the series official website. 

Is the video slightly sped up or does it being 60fps make the motion look like it’s faster?

I finally got around to ordering two of my holy grail kits, Iczer Robo and Hagane. I’ve been wanting kits of these for over thirty years, so I’m quite excited!

Dug the first episode of the new Ranma 1/2. Set in the 80s, so it's not been transposed into the 21st century.

They did the same with the new Urusei Yatsura as well.

A rather familiar looking air craft carrier appears in the latest page of Atomic Robo

 

They don’t even hide the fact that it IS the Prometheus. 

@F-ZeroOne There’s an information science and science technology museum in my hometown in NJ, here in the US that has either a BBC Model A or B on display.

But the opening doesn't have any credits. 

It might might mean that the opening scene of the movie doesn’t have the title come on the screen right after the Macross emerges from the shadows.

I'm waiting till the entire thing is done and then watching it - along with 2205 if they have that as well (which I think they do).

Does anyone in the US have the movie that came out between 2199 and 2202 (and takes place on the Journey back from Iscandar).  I had that on DVD (and probably still do) but would like to see a better copy of it.

Crunchyroll does not have 2205. They only have 2199, 2202, and now the first two episodes of 3199. 

I’ve seen that Yamato in person. It’s quite impressive when you get to see it up close.

I thought it was her or them?

It’s them. CLAMP was all female team of manga artists.

I think it was the 2or3 that didn’t have a region block on movies. I remember that might’ve been the reason I kept one of those for a long while after upgrading. I know the blocked the games, but dvds seemed fine.
I  remember using a goofy trick with the ps1 for playing Japanese region video games that required a trimmed q tip to hold the lid open and awkward disc swapping but that was a pain in the rear

 

For my PS1 I used a spring for the same purpose for playing import games. I know DVDs were region locked on the PS2, so maybe it was the 3 that didn’t do it.

The DiscoTek set? Yeah. It is specifically Region-A only, per their sleeve/covers:

 

However and iirc, the PS4 console itself should be region-free and should be able to play it.  Only your PS-account is region-locked.

So, can you make another account on your console and have that account set to US instead?

 

 

 

 

 

 

In the case of DVD/Bluray playback, the PS4 is region locked regardless of what region you make your account in. 

Are you a masochist or something, Seto? I dropped High Speed Etoile after the third episode and this is coming from someone who rarely drops a series.

Bandai Spirits Glitter & Glamours Urusei Yatsura Lum.

I picked that one up when I was in Japan last August. It’s an absolutely gorgeous figure!

Not exactly Macross, but this scene in Thunderbirds recalls Alto (and I think Hayate too in one of Delta movies) remote-calling his jet free falling in the air:
 

 

It’s even closer than you think since that plane, Thunderbird Shadow, was designed by Kawamori himself!

Those look absolutely fantastic!

I didn’t even know that the Iczer Robo kit was out! I guess I knew what I’m buying next.

So I watched Astro Note.  Feels like a twisted Maison Ikkoku to me.  Not too sure if I will stick to it.  We'll see,,,

That was exactly what it felt to me, a mix of Maison Ikkoku and Urusei Yatsura, which is exactly why the first episode had me hooked. I don’t think that was by accident, either.

Adapting "The First" Manga into an anime probably isn't the worst idea, honestly. Especially if they get WIT & Clover Works to do it.

I feel it’s a bit pointless to do so since it’s incomplete and looks like it will remain that way forever.

Tokyo-style Elf (localized as Otaku Elf) is a fun little comedy series.

I rather like the titular elf, Elda.  The way she's drawn is extremely expressive and it makes her reactions very entertaining.

Wait until you hear her extremely cute (to me at least) sneeze!

I don't know where exactly to put this, but this is what I found randomly while searching anime  on Google 

Kawamori did the mecha designs in this show.  I remember seeing them launch drones where the ones they used looked exactly like the Ghosts from Macross Zero.

Finished My Dress-up Darling yesterday.

It's cute.  I'm kind of surprised it hasn't had a second season yet.

Whole bunch of new episodes seem to drop on saturdays, so I've got new Blue Exorcist, Mashle, The Strongest Tank's Labyrinth Raids, Tales of Wedding Rings, and A Sign of Affection waiting for me.

Still haven't started Metallic Rouge.  The two watch groups I'm in went backwards a bit... one to Original Dirty Pair and another to Love After World Domination.

They announced a second season for My Dress-Up Darling towards the end of 2022, but haven’t yet set a release date. At the time it was announced, there hadn’t yet been enough chapters of the manga to support the second season, but I suspect that we’ll probably get more information this year now that the manga is up to Chapter 100. 

I was not expecting to see Iczer-Robo getting a release as a plastic kit. I hope that means that we'll be seeing an Iczer-Sigma kit some time down the road! Another surprise announcement was the TechnoVoyager vehicles. I'm also happy to see that they doing Rahxephon since I was never able to get my hands on the Bandai kit when it was released over twenty years ago. Last, but not least, with the announcement of the Garland from Megazone 23, I hope that we'll be seeing some of the other mecha from it, particularly the Wilde Sau from part 2.

I never got to see any movies in the old Amboy Cinemas. I'm surprised that they still haven't torn the building down after they closed it back in 2005.
