Then dont forget to drop by Otakon this weekend for a once in a lifetime opportunity!!!! FRIDAY, July 27 -Hidetaka Tenjin Q&A: 11:15-12:15 (Panel 1) -Hidetaka Tenjin Signing: 15:00-16:00 (Autograph 1) SATURDAY, July 28 -Satelight - An Introduction: 10:30-11:30 (Panel 5) -Hidetaka Tenjin Signing: 14:00-15:00 (Autograph 1) For more details on scheduling, go to http://www.otakon.com/

Make sure theres a good sound system. The 5.1 remaster is great and needs to be pumped UP!

Please note how the rest of the shot is focused. Also, the image is paused. No strange artifacting of any kind.

From memory they don't have ISBNs because they were only ever sold at events and via the anime center in Akiba, not thru regular retail chains. BUT there will be signed editions available as prizes at from satellite at Otakon this weekend ;-) (2 sets of three).

Same as a zoomed upscaled DVD. Edit: heres my strip: But heres the REAL strip (this arrived today too) ;-)

Just to give everyone some context, this is a collaborative train that will coincide with the upcoming genga exhibition.

Comes as part of the DYRL BD disk - just like the games that came with the two Frontier movies. Yes, of course Japan only and therefore PS3 only. Gameplay is the same as the other games in the series.

See what I originally wrote about the theatrical screening on the front page. Its the exact same thing (sound glitch appears to be hardware specific so I doubt it could be used as an excuse).

Couldn't find the previous thread for some reason... don't know if its my browser or if its been merged with another thread. Anyways, some initial pics :-)

I got Misa with the wet cloth on her head in the tent on earth.

Guess what just came? ;-) Am just going through the extras now and as far as physical extras are concerned, the booklet of reprinted magazine articles is pretty awesome - I kinda wish they would expand it into a full book! No sound issues at all on my PS3. Having said that...did someone order some blur?

Ever wanted to call THE FUTURE and talk to Sheryl and Ranka? Well now you can! :-) http://voiceworld.jp/voiceworld/

Shipping notice received, WOOT! And I have tomorrow off work as well. Talk about perfect timing! Sorry I have no way to scan a poster. If past boxsets are any indication though, I daresay someone will scan the cover once its out. In the cinema both when they occurred (ie, when they happened) and afterwards (ie, when i spoke with some fans) the general reaction has not all that major. 'Oh well, cant be helped' kinda thing. Its not so much that they missed it as it is that they couldnt edit it without making the edits more obvious. Boldolza getting shot in the face isnt edited either. Nor are Minmays jubblies. It looks like they only edited (2) shots that they thought they could get away with and that were felt to really have no impact on anything.

Well I know I was certainly satisfied by them.

My preparations for the BD are complete... all thats left is to wait a few more days......muhahahahaha :-)

Well, it looks like Kawamori gets to indulge in his pet project for another season. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-07-22/akb0048-anime-to-return-next-year

Oh the cuts will stay the way they were at the recent theatrical screening, im sure. They get away with sounding vague in the article because the bulk of changes made are improvements - restoration, mistake fixes, etc. but Namco Bandai wouldn't bother answering questions or putting up statements unless it was in reaction to the word that's gotten out because of the theatrical screenings. They at, in other words, trying to pretentious their crap smells like roses and honey. Having said that, we are talking about two split second cuts that do nothing to change the characters or story. I don't like it but then again if something like that is enough to cause you to stop supporting this franchise we all love then maybe it's not a matter of remembering love, but rather that you didn't know it to begin with?

A few other extras have come to light that I dont think have been mentioned yet (courtesy of Newtype Ace): -Boxset 2 will include a movie digest of the 25th Anniversary concert. -BOTH boxsets will include booklets, illustration collections (possibly a 2nd booklet?), and sheet music.

Damnit, I hate Scoopda - sorry but EXO can you delete this since we already have a thread that this is covered in?

ANN confirms what those of us who saw the theatrical screening were afraid of: BD remaster will be altered. http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2012-07-20/macross-movie-blu-ray-to-have-changes-from-1984-original

Dark (K)night indeed - this is damn tragic..... http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/07/20/12850048-at-least-10-killed-after-shooting-during-dark-knight-screening-in-colorado?lite

Yeah I just realised and updated accordingly, thanks! Had thought that the Mobage platform would have meant it WASNT strictly on Android devices only - seems like a silly decision since the Android market is relatively small in Japan compared to iOS devices.... oh well. Thanks for the heads up!
