    Macross Plus streaming in original language with English subtitles?

    in Movies and TV Series

    I picked up a DVD copy (Japanese language with English subtitles) on eBay today for ~$40.  More than I wanted to pay but asi es la vida.

    It'll require some minor effort, but do try to get the Japanese-BD and just add Neil Nadelman's excellent english subtitles from your Mangle DVD...

    See the video diff here:

    Manga's old US DVD OVA edition:

    vs

    JP Blu-ray OVA-1 with Neil's subs...

    I'll post the movie-version diffs next...

    Fwiw, the JP-BD's OVA version does not have english-subs. Only japanese/japanese-subs and english vocals.

    Yeah.  I don't like over-zealous tampo, but Bandai's gonna Bandai.

    I do like the "blue" of this DX on the pics.

    Nevertheless, I think I found where Yamato got the Purple on their 1/72 YF-21v2...

    It's around the 00:09:02 timestamp of OVA ep-1 of the BD.

    Wonder what that particular ordnance they're installing/removing.  It was never included in the Yamato 1/60.  Maybe @Seto knows...

    No improvements? GERWALK legs and ankles look the same and the headfin still doesn't sit flush on top of the head. Best looking mode is still fighter but I agree that the gold canopy is too much.

    No videos, yet, but here's another user-tweet with pics to check it:

    Got shipping notification 

     

    using Hlj quick pack Yamato service

     

    Thought that quickpack option was only $3 to $7 cheaper than DHL and FedEx for single items.

    Was it significantly cheaper than either when you have more than a single item?

    Anyone know when AmiAmi tends to get their hands on stock for stuff like this? It's only been a couple days so I'm not stressing, but I am curious since HLJ seems really on the ball 

    This japanese-fan bought it from amiami-jp:

    Ya know?

    Looking back on this thread, this Arcadia item was 34,800y back in in 2014.

    Exchange-rate back in Sept/2014 was about 109y to US$1

    I didn't get this back then, but weren't there some PO-"discounts" that push the pricing below 34,800y?

    How much was shipping-fees back then? Probably the even more rare low rates?

    Seems people here even got this item for around 26k yen around Nov/2014 due to several of HLJ's discounts and coupons and stuff.

    vs

    34,800y as of Dec/2023 now, with exchange-rate around 142y to US$1.

    Exorbitant shipping-fees are the norm, and still being raised.

    No PO-discounts anymore to push pricing below 34,800y.  Some jp-shops even add the 10% tokyo sales-taxes.

    Just some interesting stuff to me...
