  1. But what is Big West? They handle advertizing on anime related projects not create them. They own Macross but the don't create they farm back to the original creators... He's the guy that joked on Carl Macek's passing on the day it was announced. If that's not ignorance I don't know what it is..
  2. Thanks for the correction Lone Wolf. Did any of the board members attend the Macross DeCulture panel Friday night like me?
  3. Vintage Macross items like original illustration by Haruhiko Mikimoto (9,100 U.S.) and a Noboru Ishigoru signed SDF-1 toy (2,100 U.S.) raised big money for the victims of the great earthquake disaster of Japan at the Otakon. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-07-31/otakon-2011-attendance-2012-date-and-locale-announced#gallery_top
  4. Tony wouldn't confirm what his part in the sidequel will be..I tried but that's still a secret but I suspect he'll be voicing some character.
  5. I went to the Otakon this weekend; I missed Noboru Ishiguro but I caught the Macross DeCulture & Tony Oliver panels. Macross Deculture was like a Macross for Dummies panel for newbies. Tony Oliver was a real nice guy and I found out he is going to be involved in the Robotech sidequel.
  6. There's a lot of SPECULATION on this thread that people try to pass off as fact. HG never confirmed they were going to use LLA but reading this thread it was going to be spliced three ways to Sunday & be such a massive task to add it to RT. I don't see it being a big deal to add LLA to RT because it features the RT: NG characters and the video hasn't a specific time frame that can hamper it's addition into RT. Now, I would hate that LLA was the main part of the side-quel because it's a music video that doesn't have a lot of story. I can see it as an extra on the DVD featuring Michael Bradley's music just like it was packaged for the Japanese fans as a goodbye to the NG cast.
  7. You had me with extended 70 min. Macross pilot....
  8. I could kick myself for not pressuring my parents to buy me that large scale Scott Bernard with Cyclone armor when I saw it at Toys-R-Us. I did buy the green Alpha fighter before New Generation aired on television. Does anybody remember the miniture Macross models sold at Kay-Bee toys? They were the 3 transformation of Valkyrie in DYRL style painted white. I bought the fighter mode but both Gerwalk & Battroid was available.
  9. Did anyone else notice in video 5, Tommy asked by show of hands would they want to see Robotech the Movie without the MZ23 footage.
  10. Instead of incorporating more of the Southern Cross story they should use some more of the characters like Sean, Angie, or even Bowie. Louie was a nice touch but I like to see Sean lead a cadre RDF soldiers against the Haydonites. He's kind of bad a$$ they could use for a decent story.
  11. The 50th Shizuoka Toy Show Report: VF17 Nightmare in development, SDF-1 transformable 1/3000 kit, 1/60 Britai, & VF19 with sound booster. http://blog.hobbystock.jp/report/2011/05/tp0649.html
  12. I posted here that I felt TOHO had the international rights to DYRL. Now this opens up some possibilities: HG could pony up money and lease it from TOHO. Big West couldn't stop it because TOHO can already distribute anyway they see fit (they released the edited Clash). It could be a deal similar to Tatsunoko's where there won't be any new animation based on old designs but fall under HG's "everywhere but Japan" merchandising of the old Macross animation deal. If HG can't afford it you still have Warner Brothers who could distribute it through TOHO. WB could cut a side deal with HG utilize their staff, bring back some of the old RT voices, & bang! A brand new English dub of DYRL ripe and ready for the western home video market.
  13. To me the genesis of Macross is the mechs specifically the Valkyries & the Macross (people living in a city in a space cruiser) itself. Shoji created the idea of people living in a ship during a intergalactic war on Earth while major cities are being destroyed. They use fighters called breasts fighters because of the "special" place they launch from. Then there's another idea of a transformable fighter with 3 modes of transformation called Ga-Walk (We-Walk). Somehow during the process the breast fighter and the Ga-walkers merge and become the Valkyrie. Now writers like Noburo Ishiguro probably crafted a well meaning story from Kawamori's ideas but the overall concept is Kawamori's. I always hoped that Kawamori would revisit the Battle Cruiser Megaroad/Megalode concept as some sort of parody or alternate universe Macross.
  14. Weren't you the "un-official" Robotech reporter? HG must've done some foul crap to you.
  15. To be honest Voltron was a silly cartoon anyways. A giant robot made of science and or magic, ghosts, witches, blue mice, & the same stock footage used over & over again. Yeah it was a fun show with robots kicking major *** but became a one trick pony real quick. Vehicle Voltron was a little better with slightly better science fiction. I saw Voltron Force and yes it's got lousy animation but it's less terrible than I thought it would be. I wasn't expecting much so I wasn't disappointed and pleasantly surprised.
  16. Robotech 3: Not Necessarily the Sentinels. You can still find it on Veoh..
  17. My only problem with the movie is that all the hot chicks are on Magneto's side. They need to off set this by maybe adding Polaris, Scarlet Witch, Lila Cheney, or even Dazzler as X-Men.
  18. I noticed that to but I wasn't offended; just they were driving the point home that mutants are an oppressed minority like others. Bryan Singer had said he wants to concentrate more on the Civil Rights movement if there'll be a sequel.
  19. Considering the end of First Class I don't think X3 matters anymore. That's the case I really don't mind because x3 sucked so royally. Actually there were 3 cameos.
  20. I've read some reviews of the pilot (somehow people are seeing it) and it's been like good but not great. They say this WW likes to kick a lot of a$$ (her favorite move choking dudes with her lasso)and some of the scenes that were leaked like WW complaining about over her break-up with Trevor over a pint of ice cream with Etta Candy wasn't in the pilot. It's been pretty consistent that this pilot should be green lit for series or at least air the pilot.
  21. Why should Tatsunoko give up their rights to Macross? They have the International licensing and they contributed to the show scripts, audio, man power, etc, etc. They're listed in the original production just like Studio Nue or even Big West. Back to the topic of Kawamori, he can basically do what he wants. He has his own separate company Satelight that BW farms out their work. Big West (like HG) are not true animation houses (BW is an ad agency that happens to own an established anime property..Macross). Kawamori works with BW but he's not married to them; he could so work with Tatsunoko. I don't see any legal reason not to.
