Pity, it's only fine if you speak Korean or Japanese.

Hurin's subs will work with DYRL (shouldn't have to retime them either) and it wouldn't be too hard to rip the subs from one of the fansub releases of MacZero (ripping hard subs can be done apparently).

I have one additional movie to add to the list of domestically released DVDs with an English track or subtitles: Ghost in the Shell (movie, 1st one.) Sadly, the 2nd one doesn't have English subtitles...

Actually there was a subsequent "International" DVD release of GITS2: Innocence with English subs. Even the Japanese Bluray of GITS2 has English subs. The majority of the classic anime films that Bandai Visual will be putting out on Bluray/HD-DVD within the next year or so will have English subs as well.

The R3K releases of DYRL and MacZero are particularly cheap. I ordered them a little while ago.

DYRL

MacZero

I've used this e-store a number of times before and they're very reliable. I normally receive their parcels within 2 weeks using the cheapest shipping option (I live in NZ). They're located in Seoul.

I'd still choose Misa. She might be the kind of broad that I'd have no hesitation in pushing down a flight of stairs, but Minmei's god awful Jpop songs are an absolute deal breaker. KYYYOOOON KYYYOOOON, SHHHAAAA PAAAIIII LOOONNNNNN, ARGH.

Are there any English subtitles like in SRT format floating around for all 5 episodes of Mac Zero? I'd like to buy the proper R2J DVDs.

Thanks.

Question:-

Are the singing vocals of Sharon Apple provided by Gabriella Robin?

Once you go Movie version, you'll never go back-to the OVA's that is. The Movie version is a slicker product with a smoother flowing story and a more dramatic ending for a pivotal character. The hard-subs and worse-than-SVHS quality of the visuals will detract from the overall experience, but trust me, the movie is well worth the effort to watch...

Cool, I might buy it then.

Thanks to everyone who has answered my questions.

The AnimeEigo set was made long before this recent HD craze.

Thanks.

And correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't HD be pretty useless on cartoons?

AFAIK HG's Macross is on 35mm film right? Celluloid film has a higher resolution than HD so in theory anything on 35mm or better should be able to benefit from HD.

SD transfers (eg DVD) downscaled from an HD source also look benefit. Eg potentially more detail is captured in the transfer.

Question:-

Why does Kim have red hair in DYRL?

I've got a few questions:-

1. What on Earth does "Macross Zero Style!" mean/refer to? Is it one of those 4chan memes?

2. Has the legal entanglements of the franchise affected the production of the Transformers Jetfire action figure in any way?

3. I noticed a lot of enviromentalist concerns in Macross Zero, is this a recurring theme in other Kawamori works?

4. What was general reception of Macross Zero?

5. How are the R1 Macross Plus DVDs in the video transfer quality department? I.e. Are they interlaced? Do they suffer from compress artifacts? etc.

6. Is the Movie version of Macross Plus worth bothering with?

Thanks in advance.

Or possibly because they wanted to squeeze more money out of people, since DVD-5's hold less. Those Animeigo sets did cost a pretty penny back in the day...

I apologise for this comment, I hadn't realised that they would've spent several thousand on remastering the show and such practices would've been justified to recoup their investment.

Anyway, did Animeigo remaster the show into High Definition?

Merry Xmas all.

presumably because they didn't want such a high-profile release to be used as a "test" for the new dual-layer guys.

I think i also forgot to mention that the ADV discs have compression artifacts since they tried to squeeze to many episodes with extras on to a disc.

Does the Animeigo set come on DVD-5s (single-layer discs) or DVD-9s (dual-layer discs)?

BTW Area88, thanks for posting about the Robotech.com boxset bargain on animeuknews, I wouldn't have known otherwise and was going to wait for the ADV thinpak boxset (which will probably be out in late 2007, history dictates). It's sad that those close-minded ignorant fools treated you so poorly over there.

Is it not recommended to watch DYRL before one sees the series? Thanks.

I ask as I have the series on order, but already have the film on DVD (unwatched).

Hi,

A few days ago I registered for an account using the handle "EvaUnit02" with my Mail.com address, but never received a verification email. I tried getting verification resent several times, but still it never showed up in my mailbox. Anyway, my Gmail.com address worked and thus I'm using this account. I've since realised, that in the past, other boards using the Invision Power Board software haven't liked my Mail.com address either (I only now realised this ).

If possible could the "EvaUnit02" account please be deleted and my current handle, "EvaUnit02NZ" be renamed to "EvaUnit02"? Thanks in advance.
