*Imagines VF-11 with HUGE keg of fuel strapped to its' back*

That is part of the point of FAST packs

I admit, I only watched Macross 7 once (I can't remember where I put the bootleg dvds). I started rewatching Macross 7 last week and found that I still like it. I still think any episode can be improved by someone beating Basara about the head and shoulders with a 2x4 for a few minutes.

We could all watch it at 10:12pm local time?

Weird. I double checked the link in the first post of this thread  to see if Dynamite was listed and it turns out it isn't. Though it does say all Macross series' made after 87 will be available. Could there be a rights issue with the music? Did someone forget to license it?

Isn't Macross 7 Dynamite supposed to be in D+ too?

Ranka’s hand looked bent the wrong way and had fingernails on the underside of her fingers 

She also has a few moment where her fingernails don't point in the same direction as her finger. There's also a point where she does something with her hair and it looks, to me, like her hand came up from behind where her shoulder she be (but I could be mistaken).

Some of the faces were very good. Others were..Ahh back foul demon!!!

according to the AI, Minmay has six fingers on one hand while the other was deformed and someone broke Ranka's hands.

Damn carp, smelling up the place!

I really hate autocorrect sometimes.

They've added Macross Zero, Macross II, Macross 7, and Flashback 2012 to Disney + Canada. Just need Macross 7 Dynamite. I just wish we'd get DYRL and SDF Macross

Only a couple of closets at my place. But that's because I don't currently have any place to  display them right now since my brother and his, now, wife moved on with us six years ago (for two months they said) and they and their carp have taken over every room except my bedroom.

I wonder if the release date of Feb. 10, 2025 is so Disney+ can be the exclusive source to watch it for a couple of months?

The game is Starbase and Mechross is one of the ship packs,you need to have the gamepass to access (I think, I don't play it I just looked it up on youtube). 

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

I assume the rather piecemeal release to D+ depends, at least in part, on how fast the licensees can translate and subtitle the various series. I have no idea why Canada got it before the US. 

Disney+ (Canada) has just recently added Macross FB7, Maceoss 7: the galaxy is calling me, Macross Plus, and macross plus movie edition

Well, as you can see, I don't use an avatar ('cause lazy). My user name is just my initials scrambled and with 4evr added because I wanted to use my initials on my email account and spent a stupid amount of time trying to find an ordering that didn't have 100+ other users. So, on the last one I enter camk4evr thinking that someone would have already chosen it and was mildly surprised that it worked. I've been using it on forums, and as my PlayStation handle, ever since because I just can't be bothered to come up with something new (and, for some stupid reason, it always seems to work).

If it's coming from Funimation, Viz, or Animeigo it's most likely (not gauranteed) to have a dub. Other companies (ie Section 23, Sentai Filmworks) are less likely to have dubs. 

I think part of the reason, besides cost, is that so many are being licensed for streaming that only the ones they think will have the widest appeal/have the most faith/most popular in will be dubbed (ie My Hero Academia, Is it Wrong to try to Pick up Girls in a Dungeon)

"Subs vs. dubs" is an argument for the ages, but the reality of the situation is that subs-only is the norm for new anime releases on streaming.

The profit margin on anime is razor thin.  Dubbing is expensive, and as often as not dubs are poorly received and harshly criticized for quality issues particularly related to casting.  Music-heavy anime gets hit with the latter twice as hard, since the choice is between getting reamed over casting decisions thanks to the switching of languages highlighting any sub-optimal casting choices or paying a princely sum to re-record the music.  Since the enthusiast community leans heavy subs anyway, a lot of distributors seem to prefer doing subs first to get the series on streaming ASAP and coming back to get the dub on a second pass if and only if the series is well-received.  

 

... you mean you don't? 😵‍💫

I know I do.

I can rattle off numerous anime I'd rather watch dubbed than dubbed because I don't like one or  more of the actors. And even a number of live action Japanese movies. Hell, one of my favourite Godzilla movies is just  full of crappy acting (it's part of it's charm).

Oddly enough, after reading the article, my thoughts were that the rights to an early part of the Macross franchise were held by a company that engaged in illegal activity. Sounds familiar somehow. Seriously what are the odds.

I just have 1 question: when the &$@$ pineapple saladed hell will Disney start streaming it in Canada? All I can find is 2024 which isn't all that helpful seeing as that is anywhere from now to 11:59 pm Dec 31.

Sorry for this. Just had to vent

I'm not going to get it. Doing some quick math it would cost me approx. $250 Canadian (before discounts, shipping, and potential customs fees there may be) and frankly I never liked Macross Plus in the first place. Since I already have it on DVD I'll probably wait until the movie is released and pick it up. Until then I should be able to watch it on Disney+. 

To be fair, I'd seriously consider it if I didn't already have the dvds

Quick question for clarification: when you say "predecessors", do you mean they became Shinsei, or simply that they predated Shinsei?

Iirc Stonewell-bellcome merged with another company to become Shinsei. Assuming I'm not thinking of something else.

Whenever people ask me to recommend a Macross series, I too recommend Macross Frontier over SDF Macross for the reasons already mentioned by others. Usually. If it urns out that they have an interest in 80's anime then I'll recommend SDF Macross. 

However, I also tell people if they don't like Macross Frontier to still try other Macross series because they  are different enough they may find a series that they'll like even if they didn't like the music, mechs, characters, or story of one series they may like them from a different Macross Series.

Don't forget that they also made false claims about how much of Macross they had

It's now a little over than $370k. That's significantly better than the Robotech Academy Kickstarter did. I'm highly amused. I'm also happy that I'm getting a UHD copy of this without having to pay extra (who knows, I may even have a UHD tv when it arrives^_^).
