Personally, I'm all in favor of a stickied "nothing Macross is going to be officially subbed in English ever again so long as HG exists, deal with it---and no, we don't know when it's coming out on DVD nor when the next trailer will be released" thread at the top of every forum.

LOL. Seconded!

Though, I'd like to add, "if you are willing to personally pay Big West a huge amount of money, they'll gladly add the subtitles."

You sir, are in serious need of a copy of the recent Macross 7 remaster, trust me when I say that looks absolutely nothing like a good quality copy.

That's how all VCDs looks like seriously. DVDs 480i/p, VCDs <480i/p :)

Edit: Added the Cover. The picture not in the casing is the back of the disc cover.

Note: I'm not implying this is an original disc. I'm only saying this is a very good quality bootleg which quality is as good as an original disc. :)

Edit2: The Red wordings on the disc goes something like this "Macross 7 Movie Committee. All Rights Reserved" (I just kept it back, lazy to double check lol), if anyone was curious about those words.

Yeah, if your offering to buy me one, I'll gladly accept. :lol:;) Untill then I'll stick with this and the crappy subbed version from the FX box set. B))

Strangely enough CDJapan finally put the BD of the movie+game on their site after apologizing that they couldn't before to a fellow MW member due to the hybrid nature of the package.

Guess money talks and they just gave in: "Itsuwari no uta hime" Hybrid pack

Their loss, as I'm sticking with my other order. Can't say I didn't give them a fair shot.

Is it a similar case as with Bleach movies? Subs are made after DVD/Blu-ray release in Japan? If so when was the release? Gonna read back on this thread... ^_^

Just check the torrent sites a few days after the movie comes out.

Good grief... :rolleyes:

Promotional displays for the upcoming bluray/DVD release have started to hit - these pics were taken at Yodobashi Camera in Shinjuku. Nice to see some serious display treatment being given to Frontier :-)

Next time, can you make the pictures even bigger? They're so small when you click on them to enlarge them. I need them in full poster size. :p

Already pre ordered it but I don't if I bought it in time before the first print sold out.

Guess I have to wait till my order arrives to fine out.

Same problem here. HMV sometimes don't allocate their stock too well. I've pre ordered stuff from them months ahead of time only to get an email from them saying they sold out of their stock come release day and they're ordering more in. It's a pain.

I placed my order today. Interestingly enough, Amazon Japan will no longer ship anything to my address. I received all of my Frontier Blu-Rays through them up until the beginning of the year. I guess I will see if I actually get my copy of the hybrid in time. Ami Ami is supposed to send me my billing statement shortly. I'm a little disheartened at how hard this thing seems to be to buy right now.

Amazon JP won't export anything they deem to be a "game", which may be your problem there.

Initial impressions - the movie looks awesome - almost too good since I can see some budget issues in the animation during the final battle that I didnt notice the 3 times I saw it at the cinema, hehehe.

Theres a whole 2-screen anti-piracy notice at the beginning now, all read (well, the gist of it is said at least) by Sherryl - they know this thing is going to be hot property online obviously.

Extras include the premiere of the movie at both Ikebukuro and Shinjuku (Shibuya? Ill have to put the disc back in and check) - see Kawamori getting off the Macross Train! See Kawamori stare at pigeons.....wait what?

Two fake commercials for Ranka and sherryl (a Monster and VF25 for Ranka, two sunblock lotions for Sherryl) - theres a bunch of interviews with Kawamori and staff too which I have yet to touch.

Wont go into the movie itself here since I said all that I had to say back when I saw it last year.

TRIAL FRONTIER - is basically the PSP game with a higher poly count and better textures. Same sounds and BGM are used. Even the control setup is the same. FAR too many loading screens - having said this, they have a warning screen at the beginning that its not a full game.

There are 6 missions and then 6 mirror versions of them played from the Vajra's perspective. Its brief and shares all the issues of the PSP versions but it still looks pretty - especially the daylight (non space) levels.

And it allowed me to shoot Luca. In the FACE. Until he DIED...

.....worth the price of the disc alone right there.

I guess? I made the orders for the Blu Rays in January, and they went out fine. Maybe it was an error? I tried out random items and still got the same message. I know they won't do figure sales to the US because of child porn laws (yes...your transforming jets may be considered kiddy porn in the states according to Amazon Japan). I got my billing statement from Ami Ami, so I am not too concerned about the whole thing now. There are plenty of alternatives that are more than willing to charge a premium.

Because the Blu-Ray includes Trial Frontier, they consider it a game and Amazon will not export game titles. Your other Blu-Rays that you ordered previously were considered movies, and not subject to export restrictions.

I explained it here.
