Wow. I just realized that those discs were floating around in the "new" sections for 7 or 8 years! Which is mind-boggling, as most new DVD releases don't last longer than 6 months on the shelves here...

Which disc are we talking about? (Gah! Disc nor case doesn't have release date >.<) The "Perfect Edition" release. If it's any release other than that, I have not, repeat, have not seen it in stores. I also only spotted one half of the Macross 7 remaster release all of one time. Short runs? Stores not stocking Macross pre-Macross F?

Could be... but given the big bold "releasing on January 26", I'm guessing that it won't be exactly like pictured. Shame that the right and bottom margins are cut off... Scanlation Going clockwise: the strongest unified Macross history magazine, released Legend of Minmei The three tv series are made into comics Macross Ace original story (illegible stuff) Macross F (illegible) Macross 7's code [7th code] vol.001, 480 yen, Kadokawa (and a bunch of illegible stuff) Nakamura, Nakajima, May'n (illegible - interview?) Macross F (something something) and Mikimoto's "Super Dimensional Fortress Macross the First"

Ah, that's the number. Nevertheless, the larger a series is, the more likely television stations/broadcasters are to purchase it.

The original idea was to import Japanese animation. The onyl way they'd be able to (or agree to) do it, was to make sure that it met syndication requirements; which, if I'm not mistaken, is about 100 episodes (or 13 weeks of Monday to Friday broadcasts). No two parts of what became Robotech could meet that, thus a third part was brought in. After that,. they had to write the English script so that it appeared that the three different shows appeared as one.

Personal observation. Those discs hung around for years in the new releases sections... unlike the Macross Zero or even the Macross 7 releases. Even in used shops, it was rare to see Macross 7 discs, let alone Plus, or even SDF:M. Zero was a regular for a time, but as more time has passed since the initial release, the less they appear. But... there's always old faithful, DYRL. I'm not saying it's a bad movie or anything*., just that it is seriously dated. Even 7 is getting long in the tooth. I do hope that my pessimism is proved wrong... * It's like Akira - hard to understand unless if you've read the manga (or have seen SDF:M).

... and didn't Mr. Lucas listen to the fans, and remove Jarjar from Eps. II & III?

Ah... but you guys are forgetting one think: the DVD release of DYRL did NOT sell spectacularly well. And that was only a few years ago. It's not worth the time and money to restore it and release it on BD. Of course, in another couple of years it might be different.

For starters... the "AJACS" should be "TASC-02-SCF Auroran"...

Finished WorldGuide: 13a Super Long Range Emmigration Fleet 超長距離移民船団 :!: I think we can safely summarize the ships in the Megaroad Super Long-Range Emigration Fleets as: 1 Megaroad Class 2 (or more) Macross Class (acting as forward/advanced survey/scout ships) many Zentraedi Warships many fold-capable ARMD Class ships many Space Destroyers many supply ships Given the 10 fold increase in population between the New Macross Class and Island Cluster Class fleets, would it be safe to bet that the Megaroad Fleet's ships are less-by-a-factor-of-10 than the New Macross Class fleet? Say 20 ships in total?

Finished Great Mechanics DX.7 (there's a bunch more text that I'm interested in, but I don't think it's worth my while to do anything other than a machine translation.

As you said: Can anyone confirm if this is an Animefriend episode?

Ok, the onus is on you to explain why it only appears in one action sequence, in one episode; and is not mentioned in even one of the statistics for the Queadlunn-Rau in a variety of Macross related publications. EDIT: for clarity

Those are the (badly animated) missiles being launched. See: http://macross.anime.net/wiki/Queadluun-Rau http://macross.anime.net/wiki/Queadluun-Rea

I second this. I'm writing my own stories, and some of the characters have taken control of the story. Gah! Mind you, the nice benefit is that the story grows organically, and things tend to take place because of the character's actions. Not like the badly written movies, where no matter what the characters say or do, they are shuffled into the next scene or sequence...

Model Graphix. Nope, don't know which issue, but chances are Graham has scanned it and added it to the main website.

Original DVD Anime It was brought up before... possibly in this thread, in regards to the Movie release...

Why's it tragic? It paves the way for an OVA (ODA) series.

Quick FYI (so you ain't disappointed): a lot of that art is small.
