isamu Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Yesterday, at the MW Con, Shawn showed us yet another rare video artifact: a live-action Macross TV special that Seiichi-san kept on tape back in 1984. It was more of a talk show with a rather annoying male host that knew absolutely nothing about the series. Some of the audience cosplayed as the major characters, which resulted in the host asking stupid questions like, "Aren't you guys a little too old to dress up like cartoon characters?", etc.The set itself was nothing short of hilarious, as it contained colored styrofoam balls hanging on strings. After some more idiotic comments by the host, we're introduced to the series' main voices: Mari Iijima (Minmay), Mika Doi (Misa) and the late Arihiro Hase (Hikaru). They talked a little about reprising their roles for DYRL. After commercial break, Mari-chan performed "Tenshi no Enogu" and "Ai, Oboete imasu ka?" with some guys on the background pretending to play musical instruments. Following that, there was a small segment on Tatsunoko studios. Before the end of the show, there was an interview with the almighty "Hory Froating Head" Shoji Kawamori. Overall, it's nice to see what Macross fandom was like in Japan before DYRL. It's also a hoot to watch these old commercials for Chicken McNuggets, sentai toys, and some beverage endorsed by William Katt of The Greatest American Hero fame. Shawn said that he's gonna transfer this video to a special edition MW DVD, which should be available later this year. AWESOME! Can't wait for this!

isamu Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 What about the silly bonus materials that are on the FX Macross 7 DVD's?There was some similar program with this guy and girl talking about Macross, and they brought in what looked like a 1990 reissue 1S, and the dude was fumbling all over himself trying to transform it etc. It would be nice to see that stuff on there. You are referring to "Macross' Fastest Liftoff". That is a show I've been wanting to see subbed for YEARS! One day when I have enough financial resources, I *WILL* have that special fansubbed for me. Another show that I'd really like to see is Macross: One Night Stand. It was a 15th aniversery concert special with Fukuyama Yoshiki (MACROSS 7's Nekki Basara of Fire Bomber), Kasahara Hiroko (MACROSS II's Ishtar), Arai Akino (MACROSS PLUS's Sharon/Myung), Kanno Youko (MACROSS PLUS composer and musician) and special guest Iijima Mari (Minmay) I read about it on EX. The article is here I have bugged Egan about this a few times already. He says that the concert WAS filmed, but is not willing to go into further detail about. That's all I really know. I still want to see it though. By the way.....we were supposed to get to work on some sort of Macross Con footage a couple years ago so the idea is not new. I took footage of the Con, the year with the entire Kawamori panel and subsequent Q&A. Then took stuff where we were at Jerry's house, with tons of footage of toys and whatnot. I originally sent my tapes to some idiot here who I forgot his name and he was supposed to transfer the footage to dvd and then to whomever wanted to see them. The guy never got on the ball and never returned my original copies so I just gave up on the whole thing. Doubt he's even a member anymore. Anyway lucky I made a back up. So Shawn if you would still like to get some of this footage on your dvds let me know and I'll send you the tapes. There's a ton of material I have but I just don't have the time to be editing all that stuff. But I'm sure it would supplement what footage you have nicely.

Mr March Posted July 18, 2004 Share Posted July 18, 2004 Very strange. It must feel awkward to view media hype like that so many decades after the franchise has been established. I've never actually seen any of the japanese shows that interview creators of various anime or film, so I'm unsure what to expect. However, I wouldn't mind viewing the show just as a curious fan.

Nomake Wan Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 If you don't find said "some one," I'd be willing to do it. I have a subbing program if they aren't timed, and know how to overlay them even if they are. (though I think soft-subs are better..)
