No worries. Thank you all for looking into it!

...Mods? Anyone?

I could have sworn we had an option to change how many posts we saw per page in a thread. What happened to that option? Is it possible to re-enable this feature?

Thanks

Doh! I'm still on this, if you don't mind waiting until I get out of work. I'll check to see if I have an invite for you then. At the very least, I can download the subtitles themselves and figure something out for you. If I remember correctly, the final size was around 300MB.

I just got your message and I replied back! I had only been able to find some subtitles for the first 26 episodes and nothing else for Macross 7. I never imagined it would be so difficult to find the subtitles themselves. Thank you SO MUCH for the help!

I just want the subtitles only. I had thought about making a new thread but figured posting in this one would have been better.

Would you have an invite by chance? Would you know the name of these subtitle patches? That way I can try and find the torrents elsewhere....

Thanks.

ANYONE, please?

Zombie thread!

The rapidshare links are dead; however, I just checked asiandvdclub.org and someone is seeding a torrent for the subtitle patches over there. You can also download the episodes with the subtitles already patched in, if you wish. You need to register for an account and keep your leeching ratio in check, but overall asiandvdclub is a handy resource for this stuff.

Registration of new accounts is temporarily disabled for those who do not have an invite. If you know someone who is already an ADC member, ask them to send you an invite so you can join our community....

Would anyone know where I could find these subtitles for all of Macross 7? The links in this thread are long dead. Thanks.

I just hope it's just amj's player messing it up.

Did some snaps on it.

tint-file shows more tealish shade than blue.

tint1-file shows oversaturation of teal.

tint2-file shows some oversaturation on the orange and reds/pinks background and a faded skin toning on Sharon.

tint3-file shows more Sharon's face as more greenish/tealish and the whites are more eh. Sharon's hair shows a different kind of red shading on the amj player, too.

Like I said, hope it's just amj's player messing up the colors.

I see what you're saying, but I don't think there is anything to worry about. If I were to take a guess I would think the 'discoloring' is due to the compression and the scaling algorithm/software used. I'm no expert by any means when it comes to video and I may very well be wrong here, but I'm basing my guess off of some readings I've done over the years in regards to video quality - all in the pursuit of viewing the source as it was originally intended to be viewed. Anyway...take it with a grain of salt.

List of trophies (from PSMania) in the game translated by Google:

I think part of the problem is that there are quite a few of us who cannot read or speak Japanese. Since we cannot understand it, we will be missing out on a lot of the story not knowing what is going on. There more than likely won't be any subtitles we can download so we can keep up with the story. Then there's the store and upgrade parts that drop/fall/whatever from enemies...we won't know what is what until everything is translated. It's all going to make playing the game very difficult. I know in the West, at least in the States, we live a very fast paced way of life. There's so much to do and so little time to do it. While we may find time to play the game, we may not find the time to play the game and translate every single thing.

I've bought Macross Triangle Frontier, but I have yet to play it. I'm still slowly going through MUF at the moment. However, my fear is that once I do get to MTF I won't be able to enjoy it as much as I currently do MAF and MUF. This is because I won't have a clue what's going on in Academy Mode. I'm sure I, and many others, probably won't get to thoroughly enjoy "Macross 30" either until there are comprehensive translations/guides of what's going on in the story and etc. So the action sequences are more than likely the only things most of us can really look forward to (for the moment).

Also, there might be a few or several of us who are coming to the party late. I didn't know about this game till about a month or so ago. There were 569 posts I had to read through to catch up. Not everyone is going to do their due diligence for whatever reason.

With all of that said, none of that is going to stop me from playing this game - I already have it per-ordered! I cannot wait to play it! I can only hope that someone will be kind enough to create a very complete and comprehensive guide so that we can follow along in the story.

Michael Bay Talks Transformers Redesign

Director discusses the future of the Transformers franchise.

by Chris Tilly

February 4, 2013

Michael Bay has been discussing the future of the

Transformers franchise, talking about both broadening and redesigning
the series.

Speaking to Forbes,
Bay said, “We’re going to start off smaller. There’s a brand new cast.
To freshen the franchise we’ve redesigned everything from top to bottom.
The history of the first three movies is still there, we start four
years later and there’s a reason why we’re meeting a new cast.”

Bay’s next film is Pain & Gain, which stars Dwayne Johnson and Mark Wahlberg, with the latter also appearing in Transformers 4.

“Mark is really excited about it and it’s a great redesign,” he
explained. “I said that three was going to be my last one. Paramount was
letting me do Pain & Gain and the Transformers ride was opening at
Universal and it was bittersweet to think of passing it off. I wanted to
set it up on a really sure footing and to bring someone else in on
that, it would have been overwhelming.”

But according to Bay, the film is definitely not a reboot. “No,
that’s wrong. We keep the Transformers the way they were, it’s just four
years later. There’s a reason the Transformers are redesigned. We’re
trying to broaden the franchise and give it more places to go.”

Pain & Gain hits this April, while Transformers 4 is released summer 2014.

I find it hard to believe that no one has any interest in the Blu-ray boxset of Katanagatari. I still haven't been able to find anymore information on it.

For anyone that doesn't know, apparently the show is going to be re-aired this April when the Blu-rays also go on sale.

I thought about asking in the "What Current Anime are You Watching..." thread, but I figured it might be better to create a separate thread.

Would anyone have more information as to what will be included in this LE box set? Google Translate doesn't help much at all. I went to the official website (using Google Translate) and it seems that there are two OSTs included along with the Blu-rays and DVDs. It also seems a tapestry of some sort will be included.... Everything else is gibberish to me. A Google search doesn't seem to come up with anything useful either. I've tried narrowing down my search results but I had no luck. I'm wondering if it will be worth it to spend ~$300+ on this LE set or to skip it all together.

I previously purchased the NISA box sets a long while back without realizing what exactly I was getting. To my (and many others') dismay, the subtitles are hard-coded with some questionable translations.

Anyone else thinking of picking this LE box set up? Thoughts/Opinions?

Thanks!

From the original release....20-100 usd depending on how "iconic" the scene is...

If it is an original film strip from the first gold book release...it should be inside a slip cover and the strip itself should have a small tassle tied to it....its basically to be used as a book mark...

Thanks a bunch!!!

Yeah, don't pay anything or even offer a price without images. That scene is fairly long but darkly lit action scene, and depending on which shots the frames are of, you might get cool close ups or nothing visible at all, or perhaps just an abstract explosion. Oh, and I just remembered, the limited edition Blu Ray release of DYRL last year included reproduction film strips anyway, so there are a lot more floating around these days...

I'll definitely be sure to ask for pictures before anything else. I'm still not sure what's a reasonable asking/offering price...

Is it from the Gold book?

Supposedly so. I don't really know for certain though. I showed interest on a Gold Book on eBay, but the book didn't have a film strip. The seller is asking me how much I would pay for the film strip and poster. I've never purchased a film strip before so I would have no idea.

That obviously depends on what you can see on it. I have a shot of Britai and Exedore from behind watching a monitor: it's probably worthless. If you have Minmay singing DYRL, expect to be a rich man.

That said, if you have the cels, they would be worth much more, since obviously multiple film strips exist, but cels are all unique, with only one of each in existence on the planet (discounting reproductions/bootlegs).

Hmm, thank you for the information. As far as the strip is concerned, it's of Milia tearing to shreds two Zentraedi battle suits...so I'm told.

Couldn't you just measure the yamato 1/3000 model with the guns down and then multiply based on the scale?

You took the words right out of my mouth... (although I was thinking Imai 1/5000...).

I don't have either model unfortunately :/

Edit: I suppose I should find a good picture of the Macross...measure it...apply an appropriate scale...etc.

How much would you guys pay for a film strip from DYRL?

Does anyone know the height of the SDF-1 in Attack Mode with the twin booms down? The MMM only has the dimensions in Cruiser Mode:

Dimensions: length 1,210 meters, width 496, height 312 meters; (approximate dimensions following 2012 refit) length 1,200 meters, width 600 meters.

Thanks!

i got that a few times. then a few days or a week later, another note saying they have secured stock for my order.

Thank you for the reassurance! I just got another e-mail from them informing me that they've secured my order.

Hello Oyan.

Thank you for ordering with AmiAmi !!

We have confirmed your order under order number #########.

At the moment, your pre-order for

PS3 [w/First Release Bonus] Macross 30 -Ginga wo Tsunagu Utagoe- [Regular Edition]

is in queue, and we have yet to find out if we can secure your order.

It usually takes about one week before we know its availability, as we might have to contact several distributors.

Please be patient, and wait for our next mail. We will contact you as soon as possible.

In the unfortunate case that the item is all reserved at our distributors, we won't be able to offer you the item.

Please excuse us when this occurs.

Has anyone else gotten an e-mail like this from AmiAmi? Would it be wise to place another order somewhere else just in case?

Well, if you look elsewhere on his channel he has actually made a slowed-down version complete with tabs so you can practise at home.

Yeah, I've seen the video. Unfortunately, I don't know how to play the guitar, nor do I really have any time to learn how to play this song. Thank you all the same for mentioning it! One of these days...one of these days!!!

So much (unwarranted) hate towards Macross II. >_>

allow me to add to the do not watch E7 AO list. action is okay. mecha design is meh. moe, low iq characters. and the main character nevre moves beyond emo and whiny renton of the first series. in short i have no desire currently to finish the series.

take Martian Successor Nadesico. remove large chunks of story. take away 99.8% of the humor.take all mecha designs and make them all rejected variants of nirvash. add a splash of rtsc and you will have Eureka 7 AO.

It's that bad, huh? Yikes.

So I watched the first two parts of Mardock Scramble. While I really enjoy and dig the cyberpunk setting...I find the premise of the show offensive and disturbing. I've seen some pretty twisted/offensive anime (Elfen Lied for example)...but I think this might take the cake.

Did you even read my post? They are different actors, dude. Isamu is Solid Snake.

I think it would have been more worthwhile to include subtitles and do away with the dub tracks all together. The change in voice actors would be too jarring for me to enjoy the dub. 'Tis such a shame.
