ok so this is it, I think.
Just got notification of an extra 4600 yen needed for shipping from CD-Japan( I ordered 2x), so at least my order is closer to being shipped.
I got a similar notification/invoice yesterday for the A-on order through CDJapan...an additional 4132 yen to cover the volume weight.
Side note, got my order from Amazon. Looking forward to watching it!!!
Edit: I haven't seen any other shipping notifications, regarding the CDJapan order, since having paid the invoice.
-
I pre-ordered two copies, one from Amazon (with the poster) with the other from A-on through CDJapan. I just received an email from DHL that the Amazon order shipped; expected to be here by end of day on Monday 2/3! Still waiting on an email for the A-on order. From everything I've read and seen so far, I can't wait!!! Deculture!

Up for pre-order on amiami:
It looks to be the same offering from Amazon.co.jp, CDJapan, etc.
Regarding the loss of detail...couldn't this be attributed to YT compressing the video, and the 4K comparison itself being downcaled to 1080p?
Edit:

Plenty of directors with more prestige and fame than Kawamori have supervised disastrous transfers.
4 hours ago, davidwhangchoi said:Agree with @Duke Togo on his point. Look at James Cameron's and the dicord on the new Aliens 4k remaster. Terrible. Because of Lucas, star wars fans have resorted to Project 4K77 aside from the controversial additions, the blu ray loss details that the original film had https://www.thestarwarstrilogy.com/project-4k77/
Although, Kawamori is a god to us Macross lovers, I wasn't fan of the blu ray release of DYRL post processing.
I was unaware of the discord over those movies in 4K, to be honest. I wonder though if those same critics were watching said movies on a properly calibrated UHD display, with all picture setting modes (HDR, DV...Filmmaker Mode) properly calibrated for all inputs...and or if they weren't "coloring" the pictures themselves using a 'vivid' mode or using such "features" as Dynamic Contrast, Dynamic Color, and or Dynamic Tone Mapping (DV being the exception).
On a side note, I've seen the Aliens 4K movie (bought a physical copy) and I didn't notice any issues or problems - the film looked great to me. I also loved the Blu-rays of SDFM and DYRL?. While the animation of SDFM hasn't aged well...the show looks absolutely gorgeous in my eyes - they did a phenomenal job with it, in my opinion. The only disappointments I have ever had with any Macross Blu-ray I've bought is the censoring in DYRL? and the English subtitles in Macross Plus; I'm glad they re-released DYRL? uncensored.
I'm still hopeful and confident they'll get it right with this 4K release.

I was in the verge of completing an order on this and stopped myself. Concerned about the quality of the subs and how the transfer turns out. May hold off on this until people have these in hand and can speak to how the final product turned out. I'm not concerned about any first edition bonuses or whatnot.
For me, it's more important that I have a physical copy of the movie in 4K, regardless of the quality of the subs. I can't imagine Kawamori and co. goofing the transfer of this release. I can't imagine there will be another release of DYRL? in 4K after this for that matter.
Edit: I'm still trying to figure out how to get a copy of the first press limited edition.

bluray(top) vs youtube of the 4k promo video(bottom)
the youtube does not represent a true 4k pic(compression) but the colors are def richer
27 minutes ago, Shawn said:Its definitely a re-scan of the negative...yay
Think it is safe to say the film will have HDR? I don't know how many of you have seen The Transformers: The Movie (1986) in 4K w/HDR...but I think it looks incredible. If they can do for Macross: DYRL? what they did for TF:TM, I can't wait!
Edit: I'm generalizing by saying "they" before anyone asks....

That link does not include the B3 poster.
Check the shipping-cost difference between that and this https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B0DDSXWB1F
Thank you! I was looking at the wrong place for pricing differences. Also, thank you for confirming that Amazon.co.jp ships to the US!
Edit: Pre-ordered as well! So stoked! Can't wait!

I'm also seeing this link float around the web...I'm not sure what the differences are between the first link for Amazon in this thread and this :

If I remember correctly, the last Blu-ray had some of the violent scenes cut.
They did re-release it with those scenes unedited. Hopefully that's what we'll get with the 4k release!

Sorry, I can't recall, but does Amazon.co.jp ship movies to the US?

I'll be moving to Vegas in about 5 months....

Late to the party once again. I couldn't get into Delta and never finished it. I don't even remember where I left off at in the show. Here's hoping for something better with the new TV series.

If I were you, I wouldn't hold my breath for this new Macross series to go back to the way things were done in the 80's. Macross has never been a franchise that cared overmuch for nostalgia, so I'd expect the franchise to continue to move forward... and that means some of the periphery demographic of older fans is going to get left behind.
Hopefully this still applies to Delta and we get something completely new and different. It was several months ago that Delta aired. Fans have had 128 days (and counting) to reminiscence...3000+ long hours of nostalgia for the show...it's time to move on and move forward.

Does anyone know if the limited edition includes the extra tracks on the cartridge itself, or will the extra tracks need to be downloaded via DLC?
Thanks in advance.

Even though I already have the original box set, and with all of the HG/legal issues aside, I most definitely would buy it on Blu-ray again if it came with subtitles. In fact, I am hoping for a 4K/HDR remaster to eventually come. One can dream....

I didn't see this posted anywhere in this thread so I thought I would.... The link below contains the full list of songs that are (supposedly) included in both editions.

You can use these subs, which I timed to the Blu-ray. And yes, you can load them while playing the BD with VLC, assuming you have AnyDVD or another decrypting software running. Just click on "Subtitles", and then on "Add Subtitle File". I prefer Media Player Classic Home Cinema, though.
The link is dead. Is there any chance to get these uploaded once more?
Thanks.

So...I know I'm a little late to the party and I'm sorry but...did I just watch the pilot/first episode (.89 teaser...whatever you want to call it) for Mahō Shōjo Makurosu Deruta?
Don't get me wrong; I really, really, really like Mahō Shōjo Madoka Magika - it's a great anime. I even found Sailor Moon to be entertaining when it was on Toonami. But if this is a sign of things to come for Macross.... I was hoping for Chōjikū Yōsai Makurosu, not Mahō Shōjo Makurosu.
I'm with Roy Focker, Duke Togo, and others. This just seems like the wrong direction to take Macross if this is where they are taking things. I seriously hope we see less magical girls-esque type stuff and that the show leans more towards it's roots...you know...more akin to SDFM and DYRL?.Edit: As it is "Macross"...I'll watch a few episodes to give it a chance...and maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised. I seriously have my doubts though.
Edit #2: Yes...I have read that they're trying for a mix of Plus and 7...and I hope they lean heavily towards Plus.
Edits galore...

I remember having trouble, in the past, trying to find some Macross merchandise for one reason or another. I still struggle mightly with Hiragana, Kanji, and Katakana...which makes trying to Google this stuff even harder. I imagine I am not alone in this, so I just thought I would help save others some trouble in trying to find other options to pre-order this. If I find any other websites I will update this post, unless 'treatment' decides to update his original post. I am going to include the two links 'treatment' already gave in the original post.
- Amazon.co.jp 'Standard' - ￥3,996 - I am assuming this is the 'standard' edition; please correct me if I am wrong.
- Amazon.co.jp 'Exclusive/Limited Edition' - ￥5,400 - I am assuming this is the 'exclusive/limited' edition; please correct me if I am wrong.
- AmiAmi - ￥4,320
- CDJapan - ￥5,000
- YesAsia - ￥5195.66
I haven't been able to find a pre-order link for Tsutaya or Animate. I am assuming AmiAmi, CDJapan, and YesAsia are all getting the 'standard' edition.
To quote Renato http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=30860&page=49#entry1225647 :From Bandai Visual's Home page:
「マクロス」シリーズ 劇場版 店舗特典（各作品毎に特典が付きます）
＜アニメイト＞ ジャケットサイズイラストカード
※過去に発売されたパッケージのジャケットイラスト使用
＜Amazon＞ オリジナル三方背ケース
※版権イラスト使用
＜TSUTAYA RECORDS（※一部店舗除く）/TSUTAYAオンライン＞ オリジナルブロマイド
※版権イラスト使用
Animate Exclusive edition will have "Jacket-sized illustration cards", Amazon will have the special case (I looked into it, it's actually just going to be an outer box, not really a "3-fold case" as I described earlier, sorry), and Tsutaya will have an original "bromide", which is basically a high-quality image on photo stock paper. I already ordered the Amazon version of DYRL... Not sure what to do about the others. I love that M7 movie, but one half-hour BD... I'm quite on the fence about that. Frontier doesn't really draw me in and MacPlus is somewhat bland at this point.
Or I might just break down and get them all. I don't know what to do!!
Edit: I do not know if this is the actual website for 'Animate', but I believe that is the pre-order link. Outside of something like Google Translate, I do not know if there is an English translation for the page or if they will even ship outside of Japan.... The 'US' website does not have a pre-order link, but here's the address to the main site: https://en.animate-onlineshop.jp/

If it is only 8 years after Macross Frontier then my guess is that there are going to be some strong tie-ins with Frontier. If it truly is "Macross Delta" then, by going off the name, I bet we probably will see some (possibly somewhat big) changes. Here's hoping the show will be more 'space opera'-ish and less of a music video.
Playing devil's advocate...let's assume it is "Macross Delta" (delta as in change) and we enter through the "scary door" where everything is vastly changed. Kawamori revisists the events of SDF-M where it now takes place in 2067. Both Britai and Exsedol are miclones where Britai is the captain of the SDF-1 and Exsedol is the idol aboard the SDF-1. Lynn Minmay is supreme commander of the Minmay Main Fleet.....

You all make a lot of good points. It's said that the only constant in life is change and I agree that without change things can go stale. By that same token, I would argue that people naturally resist change as they are more comfortable with what they are familiar with - no one likes to be uncomfortable. My fondest memory of Macross is obviously SDFM as I grew up on it and it's what got me hooked. I know that's not the case for everyone else. My love of Macross seems to be one of the few constants in my life...if that makes any sense. I'm sure the same goes for everyone else here when I say this...I just don't want to be left feeling disappointed and alienated.

I like the idea of a prequel taking place before the events on Earth happened. Aside from or including the Protodeviln, Supervision Army, and Vajra, it would be nice to see all of the threats the Protoculture might have been facing back then and to see the Zentradi come into being.I thik a prequel would allow us to view something outside of the perspective of humans.
Well, I'm considering anything past SDFM and DYRL? as "new." I don't think I would be too far off in saying Macross 7 brought in a ton of new fans....We may want to be clear what we call "old" and "new" Macross shows..
If we divide the time between SDFM and today, the only series that fall after the midpoint are Zero and Frontier... and Zero is still more than a decade old. Even back when Frontier started (2008), it was farther in time from the M7 series (94-95) than M7 was from the original series (82-83).
Bottom line: Frontier and arguably Zero are "new" shows. Every other series is the realm of old farts ;-)

Yeah but when the original band members are no longer apart of the group it makes going to see them in concert a little less special, wouldn't you agree? They wouldn't sound quite the same as you remembered when they were all together (either in concert or on new albums). For example...while I'm not a huge fan of Limp Bizkit by any means, but when Wes Borland left the group and Mike Smith joined them they sounded like a different band. While I wasn't a huge fan to begin with, I stopped listening all together with Borland's depature.Alienating old fans doesn't matter as much when new fans have taken their place ten times over.
It's like still hoping Steve Perry is going to get back together with Journey even after Arnel Pineda replaced him.
I don't claim or pretend to speak for everyone, but I find it hard to believe I would be alone in this matter with regards to no longer being able to relate, feeling alienated and the likes.
I suppose you're right though in that the old fans don't matter as much when they have ten times as many new ones to replace them with.... That said, I still would like to think that we matter very much to Kawamori and co....
Edit: Edited to try and convey my thoughts better.

If by old you mean the animation is dated, then yes I would completely agree with that. If you tried watching the show before it came out on Blu-ray then I highly recommend you try to give it another go. The series looks absolutely amazing in HD and the story alone is worth watching.As someone who has never seen the original series and finds it abit too old to hold my attention (same problem as many new Gundam viewers) that would be great. Kinda like the whole Gundam Origin deal (Macross Origin
although technically Gundam Origin covers more than the original series)I would settle for a more mature Macross like Macross Plus or Macross Zero.
No Moe, a darker feel and a main protagonist like Shin, Isamu or even Leon from Mac30.
I wouldn't go that far as to claim that. Take Shingeki no Kyojin for example, I can't imagine that show being aimed at the younger demographic considering the grahpic content and what the people of that world deal with. I would probably even lump Sidonia no Kishi in too considering the tone of the show. Unless I'm just that far out of touch with the younger generation and the things they watch...If THAT is what you want then it is an OVA series you would be looking for. TV series are aimed at the younger demographic every time.
I think it's possible and very doable for Macross to take on a darker tone.

The movie looks absolutely incredible in 4k with HDR! While it may not be perfect, it's definitely the best way to watch "DYRL?". I'm so glad they released this!
