  1. Macross did it before TNG, as was the appearance of Aquarius is Final Yamato.
  2. Actually, I recall Anno not liking something about the dub translation, which is likely to be the true reason.
  3. We seriously need a Gall Force remaster. Hopefully Discotek or AnimEigo will jump on it.
  4. It definately felt like this movie was made from all of the studio notes that were "no's" from the first film. If this had come out in 2007, the only complaints would have been the rapid fire 80's soundrack "tried too hard." I loved it, and am glad they finally made it. Keep in mind, I Still enjoy the other (5?) for what they are, but wow, It was amazing to see one where the robots and humans were actually interacting & talking together in the same plain.
  5. The first half of Funi's 2202 Blu-ray release is up for pre-order, & due out late March.
  6. I just can't believe it's finally coming out (mine is on the way).
  7. It had to do with the Network demanding that the production run be extended from 26 episodes to 36, which resulted in Hideaki Anno quitting Gainax (the first time). All things considered, the Island episodes aren't "that bad," and do still retain important story elements (the island turning out to be Blue Noah, and contacting space). It's the Africa episodes that are absolute trash, have zero plot relevance, and should be avoided at all costs.
  8. I actually think the movie version works well. It hits just enough of the right story beats to be cohesive. It also drives home the main point of the series, that I think got a little lost in the TV version. The Protoculture at their peak were poised to do exactly what Sharon Apple, Grace/Galaxy Fleet & Roid all attempted. Place all of the universe into their Vajra inspired Matrix. The main Protoculture faction at their end were "not" good people, and it's probably a good thing that the Protodevilin took them out. With that said, I also think Macross should move on from any future big bads that want to enslave everyone into a network, that territory is now sufficiently covered.
  9. Earth's fleet was sizable, just outclassed by the Gamilus. I'd still say the fleet is feasible
  10. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-08-17/voice-actor-unsho-ishizuka-passes-away-at-67/.135579 Amongst his many roles: - Joseph Joestar (old) - Jet Black And of course - Guld Goa Bowman
  11. I will likely pick up all, especially Giant Robo.
  12. Discotek just blew up Otakon https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-08-12/discotek-licenses-giant-robo-kimagure-orange-road-galaxy-express-999-more/.135382 - Giant Robo (BD) - Galaxy Express TV (BD) - Godmars - Voltes V - Kimagure Orange Road (BD) - Baldios TV - Area 88 OVA
