treatment

We're just talking about the cut footages, not character-names as the Macross character-names were known to have been regionalized/localized internationally. By HG or BigWest, I can't remember. Fwiw and these are from my memory, but it should be in the Animeigo-release, the cut-footages were like the [*] Roy and Hikaru eyeballin Minmay's butt [*] Roy checking out some more ass from Skull-1 control [*] The smoking bullet-holes on the Zentraedi [*] Minmay's hair-importance [*] bloody bullet-holes on Roy. I'm not sure if there are more stuff than these and frankly, I really don't care nor do I really give a crap on RT-version since I pretty much know the Animeigo set contains all the scenes that were cut from Robotech US-release. Somebody else can prolly do a side-by-side/scene-by-scene comparison between Animeigo's, original Legacy, and the upcoming Re-masters. The vocals were of the Macek-dubs (US-release) so you can hear more annoying Reba West regarding Minmay's hair inside the VF1D. But like I said, I just heard/read that these scenes and dialogue-stuff were included in the Perfect-Collection. But you verified that they weren't, so I guess Macek never did included it at all. They were there before in like real-video or avi format or something. Can't remember. I'm not sure if these scenes were in the extras-discs of the Legacy-boxes. Afaict, you won't need any proof other than what you'd already seen in the Animeigo-set. I don't think HG will re-dub the english-dialogues at all. That'll be a more expensive proposition. The only advantage with this cut-footages will prolly be the proper pacing of english-dialogues, instead of the always-rushing nature of the Robotech-dialogues. Yeah. lol! Like I stated earlier. The robotechies can now prolly listen to Reba West's Minmei in 5.1!!! ;

Just to be fair... Actually, iirc, those "violent" scenes were originally english-dubbed and were not cut/colored-out in at least the Macross-dub (philippines) and the original Robotech-dub (US). I believe Macek made the decision to cut those scenes out in the regular US broadcast-release, however. I heard/read Macek re-included those scenes on the Perfect-whatever version vhs-tapes, but I don't have those tapes to verify. Iirc, Robotech.com used to have clips of these cuts, but I haven't visited that site since it was first goin up (Steve Yun is still an active member of the Ars-forum where I hang out most of the time). I'm not sure if those clips are still up there. So, yeah, it should not be a ret-con since it was always there, but was just taken out for the US-broadcast and the first/second dvd-releases. Fwiw, that was always the thing that bothered me with the Robotech-dvd's as to why it was still cut off/colored-out from the original and subsequent brick dvd-releases prior to this upcoming Remaster. They had the clips so they always had it, but just did not include/spliced/stitched them to the source-reel of the Robotech-dvd's. *shrugs* As for the video and audio remastering, meh. I gave my first-generation Robotech-dvd's to someone else and already have the vastly-superior Animeigo set with the original japanese-vocals and japanese-bgms. I rather not listen to Minmei(Reba West) in 5.1 since I already abhor her vocals in the original mono. Although, I do feel like most RT-fans got screwed with this announcement and their previous RT-purchases. Such is life, I say. Either you wanna double-dip, or boycott it altogether. HG and ADV oughta do the honorable thing and offer some sort of trade-in offers, tho. But that's just my opinion on it. --treatment---

for those following this drama, here's a link to the AoD-forum where DLW answered Keith's question: http://forums.animeondvd.com/showflat.php?...o=&fpart=9&vc=1

Be forewarned that there are two versions of Sakura Diaries. [*] the altered individual discs (4 discs) [*] the collector's edition brick (2 discs) The individual discs ($24.95/disc), iirc, were the censored version, i.e. digital bikinis and stuff. I think the subtitles and the english-dub clashes/different on many levels, as reported by many sites before. The Collector's Edition, however, was the actual uncensored version and contains a better and different subtitle-track. It also does not contain any english-dubs. It's the better deal of the two since I got my copy long time ago for like $30. You might get it around between $30 - $40 on retail. ---treatment--

the Metal Siren and the VF-2ss. Yamato can do those.

Like what other dvd release from who in the last couple of years? try to limit it to anime. *Clears throat* NINJA SCROLL AND DOOMED MEGALOPOLIS!!! Sorry. I get salty from the double dipping that's a trend these days. Well, Ninja Scroll 10th-anniversary edition clearly had alot more additional features (DTS/6.1/ws/fs) over the original dvd-release, even tho both versions were from Mangle. So it's a different release-class altogether from ADV's upcoming Robotech-remaster. I'm not sure about Doomed Megalopolis as I never was interested in it. And, heck, it's from ADV, too, anyway. The one releasing this Robotech re-masters next year.

ohhh, too many to suggest... well, here's some good ones. not so dark, but thoroughly enjoyable. in region-1, too. [*] Dai-Guard [*] Irresponsible Captain Tylor [*] Ranma 1/2 first season Oh, yeah. Mahoro r0x0r!

Like what other dvd release from who in the last couple of years? try to limit it to anime.

hehehe I guess ADV thinks 5.1 audio of Reba West as Minmay is a good thing. oh, the humanity!!! hahahaha

I highly doubt that ADV will have the same remaster-quality of Animiego's set. Fwiw, if this ADV set actually features the original english-dubs made in the Philippines and not the notoriously horrible Macek-dubs, I'll spring for it. But that ain't gonna happen.

Just when we thought the evil has been buried, comes this announcement from AoD-forum... http://www.animeondvd.com/news/pr.php?pr_view=267 DLW (adv-rep) said the remaster-quality will be like the Mospeada and Southern Cross. I'm not holding my breath on this one, but I know some people here are Robotechies. --treatment--

nice.

and for the short-haired Ishtar fans like zeus. i think the emulator-outfit is slightly a bit better than a thong. in some weird way.

I'm not sure if thongs were that popular back when M-II was done. Anyway here's almost a thong.

aw man, your making it sound like a chick flick,,,ya at least have to say he NAILED her ya know hehehe. I did say he nailed minmay and misa. I just didnt say say hikaru punked misa in the tv-episode.

fwiw, in the TV-series, Hikaru pretty much nailed Minmay after the x'mas dinner. in DYRL, Hikaru nailed Misa in the ruins. Hikaru's THE MAN! And Misa's the ice-queen. --- Anyway, just some comments about it. Hikaru loves Minmay in the TV-series. Alot. He courted/chased her for a long time. But then he grew up and matured and realized even tho he loves Minmay so much and that they're already shacking up, it was just not gonna work and he won't be able to make Minmay happy the way he wants before as his priorities and responsibilities as a Skull leader directly in charge of protecting Earth comes first now above all else. He just can't juggle these two equally important jobs. Misa was just there and does not conflict with his responsibilities as much as Minmay's. Convenience won over. In DYRL, Hikaru was really gunning for Minmay and Minmay was reciprocating his feelings. She wants him and wants him bad. Same for him about her. She doesn't care about with Misa's feelings for Hikaru. Just that circumstances prevented them from being and establishing their love firmly. Again, Misa was just there and Hikaru had made up his mind that Minmay was dead and his feelings for her also was dead. Great conflict when she turned up alive. The best triangle-scene in all of anime took place in Hikaru's room. It was just a beautiful part of the Macross story (tv and dyrl) that sets it apart from other mecha and non-mecha anime. I think that's why most of us love Macross coz it not only had kewl mechas, but it also had a rather beautiful and excellent love-story, as well as overall great sci-fi story. ---- And Robotech just completely messed up their portrayal of Minmei. I firmly believe that's the reason why some or alot of people don't like (and even hate) Minmei because they'd seen Robotech first (or almost exclusively). Some are just now only recently appreciating Minmay coz of Animeigo and DYRL dvd availabilities. --treatment--

o m g !!!! you alone makes yamato profitable.

Fwiw, at the tail end of DYRL, Vrithai and Exedore were talking about how the real hardship begins and that there are still Bodolza- and Lapramiz- class fortresses/fleets out there. Ingus can be classified as one such fortress.

Macross Zero.

title says it all. 1/48 yammie. I like the canon red. But i really prefer the black. I dunno if I wanna re-color it if at all possible. I really do not want to have to buy a Roy-1S. *sigh*

Speaking of LH, which LH music do you guys like alot? I found Winter Wish to be such a really kewl song that I think it's the best LH song in the series. Pretty much beats out Megumi Hayashibara's and other LH-songs, imho.

I always like Mutsumi. in the anime and the manga-art. She's very kawaii and she just have big, uhmm, heart. yeah, that's it. ;

riiiiiiiiggggghhhhhtttttt. dude, don't project your sexual frustrations to us who play with our toys. We play with our toys. Whether it's Bandai or Yammies or whatever. Why would anybody wanna deny that? That'll be pretty abnormal to hide that. Most (if not all) of us also have wives and girlfriends. I'm pretty much thinking that you, uhh, don't. Hence your ignorant statement quoted above. have a nice day. --treatment--

Ehh? Why won't anyone play with it? They're toys. And they're well-built. I bought a bunch of it for my nephews, too. They love it. They're kids. "collect but dont play" my ass. These Taka/Bandais were toys when I was a kid. They're still toys today. Just exclusively displaying them is a stupid waste of money, imho. Plus it wont give you a heart-attack and crap if it ever falls down from a display-area.
