In middle transformation it looks like a chicken.

In summary I see we don't know anything yet about this re-release.

In amazon.com you can preorder for around $30, which is a little cheaper than buying the 2 DVD's individually.

I've been away for a while and recently started wathching Aquarion.

I like the show a lot so far. This the only show this season that makes me feel the same excitement as when I watched anime as a little kid.

I had no idea Aquarion was created by Shoji Kawamori. I just found recently. I don't even rememeber how I get into the show, Aquarion sounded like such stupid name at first. I guess I was bored. Still, I'm impressed on how Kawamori's work get me so easily. It happened in Macross, Escaflowne and now Aquarion.

I must admit that I am...

I'm a consumer whore and will buy anything Macross...

Anyway, I love Macross 7 and Macross II wasn't that bad.

Wouldn't the fact that they vanished into thin air rule out the use of logic anyways?

okay.. let's say they did meet up.. would it go something like this:

Shin: so uhm, where are we?

Sara: (babbles something about kadun and look at shin with her mad face)

they wait for years and year and year and years.. and then they wait some more.

Hikaru and the Megaroad show up: Hey... uhm... where did you guys come from?

Shin: From EARTH!

Hikaru: Really?

Sara: That's a big sky bird you came in on.

Hikaru: Uhm... I guess.

Shin: never mind her.

they wait for years and years and years... and then a pod of space whales comes along with gamlin and basara all out of breath....

Hikaru and Shin: Hi...

Basara: LISTEN TO MY SONG!

the end.

Yeah, yeah, just like that! But Basara needs to sing with Minmay.

I doubt that we will ever see a direct continuation of the Macross Zero storyline from Kawamori with the same characters, as he seems to have a thing for having his characters disappear, never to be seen again.

• Hikaru, Minmay, Misa and the Megaroad-01 vanishing near the center of the galaxy in 2016, never to be heard from again.
  
• Basara and Gamlin disappear while following the galactic whales at the end of Dynamite 7. As they have no fold boosters on their Valks, they would seem to have no way to return unless the whales fold back to civilized space (remember, their Valks will have limited oxygen, fuel and food).
  
• Shin & Sara disappear with the AFOS at the end of Macross Zero.
  

Anybody see a trend here? 

I think the best we can hope for in the near future is a movie version of Macross Zero with perhaps a few minutes of new footage.

I know this is just wishful thinking, but wouldn't it be cool if all these characters meet at the center of the galaxy for a real Macross conclusion?

SOunds like Robocrap. bleh...

Anything but that please... PLEASE!!!

As I said , we´re closer to the 25th anniversary so Kawamori might be waiting for that. Also but not less important is the fact of the huge growth of anime licenses in the US , nowadays it´s normal for a recently released show ( in Japan) to be inmediatelly licensed by someone in the US , this is a sign that anime IS a profitable market , I hope Bandai and BW notice this and talk to Kawamori for another development.

Profitable indeed, but not in the case of Macross thanks to the license problems. I mean, would I ever see an R1 release of Macross Zero?

And I do believe we'll get new Macross for the 25th anniversary.

I got the one from FX with all the 5 episodes in one DVD. The quality is kind of good but not outstanding. The sound is really good and the subtitles are typical bootleg.

I have one question about the DVDs made from fansubs. Are these the fansubs put on a DVD or did they used the script from a fansub and added it to the DVD (say you can turn the subtitle on and off)?

Funny that Macross 7 is the longest Macross series of all:lol:

And listening to Basara is good!!!

The supposed VF-1R that you're thinking of is one of two things. It's the Harmony Gold interpretation of the Macross animation error, which has three head lasers on a VF-1A head...

Wait a second...

This means that HG is making toys of an animation error in SDF Macross...

LOL

They just don't know how else to make money...

Well, when ppl say "Plus all the way" I think theyre talking about Isamu's helmet

Of corse they do but if you say Plus you are impliying Guld's helmet whether they like it or not.

I think Basara not using a space suit add a lot to his character.

Yeah, they are very similar and still a lot of people say "Plus all the way" and Gamlin's helmet sucks...

Good thing Basara doesn't use a helmet, I can't imagine how it's be

I think gamlin`s helmet is cool!

isamu's helmet: fat helmet for a fat head.

Indeed. In some shots he looks like a bobblehead.

Finally someone agrees with me. Isamu's helmet looks funny

WOW!

It really makes a big difference!!! Go visor!!!

No flames! Please!

I still think that Isamu's helmet looks kind of funny.

Also, I'd like to see some of those helmets in the games.

I dislike the YF-21's head, but the VF-22's is probably my favorite.

Screw functionality when it doesn't look good.  Pretty can be functional too.

PS:  Sound Force Valks are supposed to be used for pyschological warfare, so that excuses the use of humanoid faces on them

I totally agree! The 21 looks ugly while the 22 looks cool somehow

I wanna see a picture of that.

I decide to get one of these bootlegs and I amazed. They are actually really good and once I paint my Fire Valkyrie is gonna look really cool. They around 30 cm tall (I'm not good with inches).

I like the helmet desings in Macross Zeros too. I think Isamu's helmets looks a little funny.

Didn't know so many people didn't like Macross 7 (the best Macross show so far!!!)

What do you people think it would be a good title for a SDF Macross remake?

SDF Ver. 2?

it would be good, then we could go to www.robotech.com and post there: "macross is better than robotech and now you can´t oppose me"; and all the rt fans would not say anything... lol

I go with that!

A non-japanese Macross made by the money of fans?

The idea scares me...

I like Macross the way it is, even with inconsistent animation.
