Mr March Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 I saw a rumor on another website that stated there was an "international" version of Macross Plus Movie Edition released in Japan that features an english dubbing. Is this true or just another net legend? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daishi3500 Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 y'know, the dubs weren't half bad for the oav, i would love it i f the movie had some dubs as well, i'd actually buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronocidal Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 I don't think there ever was an official release with dubbing of the movie version. The reason I heard was because of all the added material in the movie edition. There were several scenes in the movie that weren't in the OAV at all, added in to enhance the storyline. The problem came when they couldn't get the OAV dubbing voice actors back to dub the new scenes in the movie. Dunno why, but they couldn't. So they decided to leave the whole movie subbed, rather than have brief interludes of subtitling in the added scenes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchVile Posted February 7, 2004 Share Posted February 7, 2004 I bet if they could get the actors back we would have a non VHS-Ripped DVD of the Macross Plus Movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anubis Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Manga will never put forth the extra effort to produce a dub for the movie version. At one point they mentioned it as a possibility, but now they don't speak of it. Hell, Mangle didn't even bother to use soft subs on the dvd release of the movie.

Angel's Fury Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Well....even though I like the movie to be dubbed, I kinda like it the way it is, subbed. In fact I've kinda gotten' used to watching the movie & looking @ the subtitles @ the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southcross Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 From what I remember reading, they had started a dub of the movie. They got about part of the way into the third episode worth then ran into translation problems. I guess it became too expensive to finish.

ewilen Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 How could translation problems mess up the dub when they were perfectly (?) able to produce a translation for subtitling? Not that I really care...I always watch subs if available. (Exception--when I was watching the first disk of Evangelion, I decided it just wasn't worth the effort to read subtitles.) But it sure would be nice if the subs weren't hardcoded and the image transfer was better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe lack of expected interest in the Dubbed movie.. I just remember reading something about how "they gave up dubbing the movie while doing the footage from the 3rd OVA" Edited February 8, 2004 by Southcross Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Macross Plus don't need no stinking dub! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArchVile Posted February 8, 2004 Share Posted February 8, 2004 Macross Plus don't need no stinking dub! But if it did get dubbing than it would most likely get DVD quality video and audio, and that's all I care about. Like adding a cherry on top of a sundae (sp?).

Renato Posted February 9, 2004 Share Posted February 9, 2004 I saw a rumor on another website that stated there was an "international" version of Macross Plus Movie Edition released in Japan that features an english dubbing. Is this true or just another net legend? No, there was never a Movie Edition International Version release in Japan per se. However, there WAS an International Version release of the OVA series in Japan, which was basically the Manga dub with Japanese subtitles. Except none of that matters now because that was back in the LD/VHS days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except none of that matters now because that was back in the LD/VHS days. The R2 Macross Plus OVA DVDs have both English and Japanese audio. Japanese subs. The Bandai/Emotion R2 Macross Plus movie Edition DVD is pretty good. It looks a helluva alot better than mangle's piss poor VHS dump. Video is nice and clean. No subs and no chapter search though. Extras are just the Macross Plus game edtion trailer, Macross PlusMovie/M7 Galaxy is calling me trailer and some shots from the theater program IIRC.

I figured it was just a net rumor, but I had to ask just the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
