VT-102 Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Animeondvd.com is reporting that Manga will release a Macross Plus 2 DVD Box set on 6-14-05. No details on what it will contain. Info can also be seen on Manga.com's "coming soon" link. Would be nice if it included a remaster of the movie. Since the quality was pretty subpar.

If they wanted to do it right, they'd've done it the first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoBe-Patt Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 wow, I heard about this a while ago. I totally forgot about it. I'm definitly buying this as I sold off my old copies. I wonder if this will have the single episodes and then the movie? That'd be cool. Can't wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 At 2 disc's It's likely to only be the OVA. And if it did contain the movie, then that just mean's they'd screw up the only good encode they did (i.e. the OVA) to slap all 4 eps on 1 disc. I doubt the movie would get any re-touching at all, it's just not their way. All things considered, I have the OVA disc's, I have both the R1 & R2 movie edition disc's (in 1 double disc case using the R2 box art), and I have my MW custom Plus desert scheme box, as such I've no use for this release whatsoever. It is nice though that it's re-surfacing with half the price it was originally MSRP'd at. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisG Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Wasn't their Macross box set also supposed to include Macross II? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Wasn't their Macross box set also supposed to include Macross II? Yeah, but it was also supposed to be $89.99, suffice it to say, it's gone through revision. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisG Posted March 30, 2005 Share Posted March 30, 2005 Slightly off topic, but does anyone have custom Macross Plus DVD covers? The OVA covers are okay, but I really can't stand Manga's cover for the movie version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The OVA DVDs were done on single layer discs. Presumably, they could fit all four episodes on one dual layerd disc without changing the AV compression.

Yeah, but it's manga, they screw stuff up on purpose. Hell, they've actually chosen not to put Gunbuster on DVD! They lost the license to Gaint Robo! They're insane.

Yes, but the problem with that is that then they could not gank you for $29 bucks per DVD. If they leave it a two disc release, they can!

Yup and that's typical Manga Entertainment for you, either releasing good (Ninja Scroll movie) or incredibly GOD AWFUL dvd versions of various animes (Dangaioh OVAs). I am glad they are not doing the Gunbuster OVAs b/c I would not put it past the company to royally f'up one of the best OVA series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 CDjapan should still have the R2 movie edition. And I don't think it's been officially said one way or the other if Manga has officially lost the gunbuster license, as once every year or two they keep promising to put it out on DVD. We can only hope someone like Geneon or Bandai will snag it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, we're talking about the R2 Japanese release, not the R2 UK release. Japanese release has significantly better audio/video over the U.S. & U.K. releases (which are essentially the same disc's pressed for both countries).

Graham Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yep, Japanese R2 set is great. Beautiful Tenjin box art as well. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valk009 Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 There are quite a few popping up on Yahoo Japan lately, reportedly some of the box sets also include English subs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graham Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 The two box Japanese R2 set that features the beautiful Tenjin YF-19 & YF-21 cockpit art on the slip cases have English dubbing available. No English subs though. I'm not sure if other Japanese editions, such as the 4 individual discs also feature the English dub. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 I think they have the English dub, but not 100% sure. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kazuo Posted April 1, 2005 Share Posted April 1, 2005 R2 Macross Plus Movie disc has Dolby Pro Logic Japanese audio only. No subtitles of any kind. I own the disc. I'm willing to bet from the video, while superior to the Mangle version, is nothing more than a LD rip. The OVA boxset has Japanese 2.0 and English 5.1. No subtitles. You can still get the Movie from other sites, just look around... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
