The "short version" on the title might indicate a longer one will come soon (like with Chapter 5) but for now bask in the sheer awesomeness.

Play it for us, if you please.

Keisuke Masunaga's chara designs for the Playstation games were awesome but these new designs have grown on me. They do give 2199 a distinct look from the previous works and they're way better than the ones in Resurrection. Also, they serve the purpose of distancing the look as much as possible from Matsumoto-sensei's. It's sad things came to this but it is what it is.

For those who don't mind spoilers and want some images from Chapter 5... https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.535132513195263.1073741832.384197378288778&type=1

She looks smaller than She actually is. The longer tips measure over 350 meters which makes her longer than a Gaiderol. But they must have a rather effective storage system to carry those fighters.

From What i've seen on Amazon and CDJapan, they still have the original book listed instead of the new ones. Check the release date as the first book, Earth, should be released in July 31st. If it says May 31st its the canceled book.

Upcoming Blu-Ray releases will take place in May 28th (Volume 5 - Episodes 15 to 18), July 26th (Volume 6 - Episodes 19 to 22) and September 25th (Episodes 23 to 26), roughly every 2 months with the remaining two movies released in theatres in between. This is a huge acceleration as we've had some loooooong waiting periods between the releases of the previous volumes. If you're waiting for the episodes to hit the usual P2P or online streaming sites, add a few more days to that. They've poped up as fast as 5 days and as slow as 2 weeks. Bandai Channel usually releases the movie edit around 10 to 15 days before the disks hit the shops. Quality is good (not HD, of course), doesn't have subs and is only available for 7 days after purchase (not downloadable, unless you know your way around that ). But for less than 900 yen it's a good way for those more impatient like me to just see the beautiful animation and get an idea of what is going on. Watching it with subs a couple of weeks later (wether via Blu-Ray or P2P file) is like watching the whole thing anew as you finaly get all the little details that the language barrier was keeping from you Wether Bandai Channel will keep that schedule, given that 10 day ahead of retail release would hit right after the theatre run comes to a close, is still an unknown, if they release any further volumes at all. I hope so. But given the faster release schedule and the fact they're now selling the individual TV edit episodes, we'll just have to wait and see.

Tim Eldred has reported on a bit of news on the artbook front. The upcoming book, set to be released in May 31st, was cancelled. In this case, however, this is good news. How? Because instead of one book we'll get TWO. The amount of material is so big for 196 pages that they decided to split it into EARTH and GARMILLAS sides. The one bit of actual bad news is that this has delayed the release but given we'll get more stuff, i'll fight through the pain. XD The EARTH book is already set for a July 31st release with a page increase to 264 pages and a price tag of 3.780 yen. As for the GARMILLAS book, it's set for a tentative release in September 30th and includes not only Garmillas files but also those related to Iscandar and Gatlantis. Both books are set to come with a slipcover.

@Dobber: The reason why that guy debating you doesn't accept your arguments is simple. He's an idiot. He subverts the info to suit his view and no matter how simple or complex the reasons you give him for the kit being what it is, he'll just continue to poke holes in them. My opinion? Be the bigger man, stop feeding his ego and just walk away, certain that you are right. If i have learned anything in this life is that debating with idiots is a waste of time. Eventualy you lower the barr to his level and then they have won. I'll be back home tomorrow and, if you still want that scan, I'll send it to you, though i doubt he'll see reason. I think even if you got a statement from Bandai saying you were right, it wouldn't be enough. XDDD

As you've said, the article disapeared along with starblazers.com but you are correct. Tim Eldred did state that the 1/500's design was based on the 2199's Yamato. The diference comes only in the scale since, when the model was produced, the new size of the Yamato hadn't yet been established at 333m. So, the model is a 1/500 when compared to the original Yamato but around 1/660 for the 2199 version. But design wise, which is what you need, it is totally based on the 2199 design. I'll drop a line to Tim and see if he knows if there's any backup for that page. On my end, the best i can do is scan a print i have of that page.

I think you've got your birds mixed there. XD Pelican?! Lol. Add to that the 2nd soundtrack CD and the artbook, also in May, not to mention the rest of the merchandise, and. . .My wallet just ran away, jumped out the window while shouting "go frack yourself!" XDDD

I know that at least 2 versions are coming out so that might be. The next few months will be murder on our wallets. :-D
-
The advanced release date for the Falcon is in September and for the Meltoria+UX-01 set in October. So, if they keep up the schedule, the Domelus will come out in November or at least in time to blow your Xmas tree to oblivion. :-D
