Mr March Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 This past week I was gathering reference images to assist in building new revised colored art for the Guantánamo Class Stealth Carrier, the Northampton Class Stealth Frigate, and the Uraga Class Escort Battle Carrier. I took a bunch of screenshots from the HD version of Macross Plus, particularly the UN Spacy fleets around Earth. I decided to combine multiple screenshots together to produce a version that somewhat accounts for the vertical/horizontal scrolling of the establishing shots in the anime. The images aren't perfect, but they are interesting to look at, especially in high definition. Most often when we see the UN Spacy in a Macross animation they are depicted as terribly outnumbered, whether it's against the Meltrandi/Zentradi, the Mardook, the Varauta/Protodevlin or the Vajra. While proportionally the UN Spacy always has been a smaller military force in the Macross universe, it's easy to forget that the Spacy is very large by any conventional standard, only appearing small in comparison to the dramatically numerous enemies they must face. I've posted the images on FB and figured I'd also collect them here for any interested fans. Full sized images over 1,200 pixels can be found at the following three links: http://www.macross2.net/m3/misc/ep04-fleet1.jpg http://www.macross2.net/m3/misc/ep04-fleet2.jpg http://www.macross2.net/m3/misc/ep04-attacksatellite2.jpg Enjoy!
s001 Posted November 3, 2015 Posted November 3, 2015 Thank you Mr. this is far more interesting than what we're getting about macross delta.
valkyriechild Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 *Information High buzzing* SDF-1 surrounded by zentraedi fleet, isamu yf-19 againt earth defense system. i think it gives similar situation and feeling when you watch it for the first time. Isamu's whistling is so perfect during that scene.
Zinjo Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 The level of detail on these cells are AMAZING! Thank you
Gubaba Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 The level of detail on these cells are AMAZING! Thank you The BD is still available for purchase. And it's highly worth it!
Zinjo Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 I have it, i just never stopped to look at the details in the cells before...
Mr March Posted November 11, 2015 Author Posted November 11, 2015 I figured folks would love to see these shots. As soon as I saw these sequences in HD I knew they were worth posting.
dna Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 The BD is still available for purchase. And it's highly worth it! I suppose we have to import it...
VF-15 Banshee Posted November 13, 2015 Posted November 13, 2015 I suppose we have to import it... Considering it was only ever released in Japan, yes.
Valkyrie Driver Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Very nice detail. I only have the dvd's and I never really noticed the detail. Nice catch.
Mr March Posted December 12, 2015 Author Posted December 12, 2015 The HD versions of the various Macross series have revealed a lot of things I never noticed before. Or perhaps it's more accurate to say it's simply enhanced the existing details to the point where these previously foggy details can be much better appreciated and understood. These scenes in Macross Plus really popped out once I saw them in high definition.
