UN Spacy Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Have Frontier's disc sales been this strong?!? If it's true then that's quite impressive (yes the source is 4chan). Top 5 Best Selling mecha show of the last 10 years (numbers in average of copies per volume of DVD/DVD and BluRay): 1. Gundam Seed(And Destiny) (66,000) 2. Macross Frontier (55,000) 2. Code Geass and R2 (48,000) 3. Gundam 00 and S2 (35,000) 4. Gurren-Lagann (20,000) 5. RahXephon (9,000) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwin3060 Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Wow! That means that, taking SEED and Destiny seperately, Macross Frontier is the best selling mecha in the past 10 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-25 Messiah Posted February 6, 2009 Share Posted February 6, 2009 Wow! That means that, taking SEED and Destiny seperately, Macross Frontier is the best selling mecha in the past 10 years? No, since it's the average per volume. Still a very strong performance though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strumvogel Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Heh Pete, that honestly has to be one of the worst ideas I've ever read. I can think of nothing worse than having to listen to fat, sweaty fanboys sing badly out of tune karaoke renditions of Totsugeki Love Heart. My ears are already bleeding just at the thought. Graham You have no idea how close that becoming true for me. I happen to be at one of the Joysound Macross kareoke events last time I was in Tokyo and there were a couple of westerners in the crowd who were trying to get in on it. Unfortunately, or fortunately depending on your view, they could only take 5 competitors out of the 10 or so gathered there. So they whittled the number down through group "Rock, Paper, Scissors" (Jankepon?sp?). And it just so happen that the two guys was knocked out by the second draw. I could only imagine what they would have sung had they got on. And oh yeah, from that particular event atleast, no one sang "Totsugeki Love Heart". Out of the five, four of them sang "Fly Away", to varying levels of success. The first guy who looked like he's a Japanese heavy metal fan did the best of them all, no surprise there. The last one, and the only female of the lot, surprised me and a few of the people in the crowd(I overheard a couple of people near me exclaimed "Wow!" and commented on the vintage nature of the song. The girl herself would have been still in her 20's) for singing "Tenshi no Enogu" . R-E-S-P-E-C-T from me there lady. Due to the success of Frontier and the album sales, I do wonder now how many of them would be singing Frontier songs now. I'll stop bashing Gundam, it's not doing any good. Don't stop. You can't let them win. You just can't.... And to kinda bring things back on topic, there now seems to be quite a few t-shirts turning up for pre-order to commemorate the Macross Launch Ceremony. Here's the pick of the lot: Lovely Concert SDF-1 t-shirt Booby Trapped And the SDF Launch Ceremony t-shirt itself They come in different sized and colors so check the site if you're thinking of getting one to fit you. I personally liked the Booby Trapped and the SDF Launch Ceremony ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I was too lazy to look up the words I didn't know, so call it an educated guess on my part. More complicated, huh? Does this mean that Ranka will actually give Sheryl a real run for her money...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nexx Stalker Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Probably in the movie we'll discover that Alto is a girl for real. Or maybe Ranka will grow antennas, wings and a cannon on her back. Or maybe Bobby will disguise himself as Sheryl. That would complicate things a bit, I guess.

Final Vegeta Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 In this dictionary: * 一石を投じる make a difference * （～に）一石を投じる cause [create, make] a stir (in) * ～に一石を投じる raise a question about So no, the relationship won't be resolved. I'm glad for the athmospheric fights though. FV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm busy today...I was going to leave it alone, but the Babelfish translation was SO unhelpful, that I thought I'd throw my half-assed ass-hat into the ring...but I didn't really want to haul out my huge dictionary...the first bit was the only one I couldn't read, so I kind of guessed. Which is why I wrote "I think" in there. If you don't like it, I could just go away and leave you to your own devices, Mr. "WAAAH...don't-put-Japanese-in-here-because-I-can't-read-it."

The TV series had a severe lack of atmospheric action. I'm guessing the producers want to remedy that in the movie. We don't know what the movie is about right now. The grapevine says it's going to be a DYRL?-style movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
