Updated 1s page with zah postah. New tshirt designs and pricing to follow.

How unfortunate timing for this convention to be held cause I won't be able to make it. I wonder whether Shoji Kawamori will be there or no. If he will be there, too bad I can't give him my personal compliment for all the amazing works he had done in the MACROSS series. Where is the official notice for this event anyway?

By the way, great t-shirt design there, specially the black one. I would like to buy one if it is sorted out by sizes.

Regards,

Melvin a.k.a. MACROSS117

Unfortunately no, Kawamori-san isn't coming this year. I wish he could come though.

T-shirt designs updated.

I must say the shirt looks nice... I don't mind buying one.
Do I have to be there to buy one?

How much is it?

Looks interesting... I need to find out how to go Taylor's College ler...
They will allow outsiders to come in meh?

T-shirt prices updated.

So when is the event??..

12th January....check all details on 1s page.

Start making a list of who's going or is interested in going.

LOL....doesn't seem like much macross fans compared to gundam ppls.

This was expected.

You were wrong, even though i love both gundam and macross, i gone more franatical everytime i see a macross anime or mecha model!

Perhaps due to the fact that a new macross anime/OVA which comes almost exclusive (25 years, only 3 series where only one is near 50 ep series, a few OVAs and 1 movie) and the near assembrance of modern jetfighters to its mecha which got my appeal.

Unlike gundam where almost every 2-3 years, u get the same old 50 eps of human vs human storyline, lead gundam pwns all and worse having emo characters like Gundam Seed.

I think I'm more of a Macross than Gundam person. Not fan-level... i just like it more.

I was hoping during this convention there will be goodies on the new macross frontier.

What kinda "goodies" are we talking about here? My "boss" will be holding an exibition on the Multi Purpose Hall with exibits of Macross toys and merchandise. He tells me that he has some for sale too.

But i doubt there will be any MF merchandise out since the series hasn't officially started yet for the next few months.

Updated. We have confirmed to allow free entry to those who wear the t-shirt into the screening area.

So how do we get them T-shirts?

Email macrossmy@yahoo.com. My boss will handle it.

L size cant wear TT___TT me giant size

Macross doesn't get as much love as Gundam because it lacks emo bishie characters who get plot shields and invincible mecha.

Only veterans and seasoned anime lovers can truly appreciate good mecha. A rare commodity indeed.

I think it's partly true but still, if you look at what macross is all about and not just human fighting human on Mobile Suit, you will see that it has a different taste and feeling towards the story and their mecha. I can see some jaw dropping moments when i show some macross movie/series/ova to few of my friends and few bunch of people (who never seen macross before). Even commented "George Lucas should learn from these people how to shoot". But it's a subjective matter. Of course we really cannot compare with gundams which is massed produced by bandai even without a good storyline or visual presentation.

Well, from my personal observation today after seeing thirty over teens watching macross (frontier) for the first time, they just want to know more (can't wait for the next episode). It has a new way of reaching out to people and sure enough, carries a weight in the anime and mecha world. Well, we hope that this event will open up more eyes on macross and build bigger interest towards the macross saga.

The unfortunate reality is that many people just choose NOT to look at what macross [and many other good mecha] is all about. I love macross, and I know it's good, but I don't know if the general public would say the same

They know shit about macross, only the American butchered Robotech

anyways, you need to make this design wolfy
FRONT
BACK

lol. macross, its either you're an ace or die early in the episode

there's no alien in gundam. odd but true. maybe coz they don't have warp yet in gundam. they only bend space and time to deflect beams..... lulz

is this some new gundam?

Who remembers Macross? Ask angmoh they all say Robotech lah. Robotech got movie meh? Not yet out right? When movie out sure nobody will ever remember Macross, just like nobody remembers Transformers used to be Microman. Most Robotech fan-sie also never see Macross Zero lah. If see they sure go sheet lah. What water is this?

are you made out of fails?

He probably hasn't seen www.macrossworld.com.

XD

Btw angmohs who've seen the light won't go back to Robotrash. I was willing to give HG a chance when they came up with Shadow Chronicles...but OMFG.....they had 5 years....and delays....and they came up with that crap CG and lousy battle choreography. MacF blasted Shadow Chronicles into ashes man. LOL!

Robotech was shown in malaysia not macross, thats why everybody remember robotech....

Macross also shown in Malaysia. TV1. 8-9am, Sabtu. With repeats even.

But i guess you're too young to remember.

Macross != Gundam

Anyone else who says otherwise has a brain made of poo-poo.

I first got confuse with Macross with Robotech which i got scold from Forum elitist..

eventually i figure out.. and A fren of mine lend his first Macross DVD.. and it came out good..

I love macross as its the only anime with more missle barage than anyother anime..

Suprisingly I during those days I loved the malay version of MAcross more than Robotech, even tho I can understand english completely. It's an omen XD

Amazing how you can fire a barrage of 8-16 mini-missiles and still miss a target.

Space aliens got jamming dat's why.

I watch it in early 90s, I think 1994 - 1995.... I was in tadika that time...

First shown in the 80s right?

With the price of a modern missile costing millions of dollars, launching a barrage of them is like throwing a merc at you enemy and hope it hits...

What about Macross Zero? Shin Kudo vs Nora. She humping evaded all his missiles and her plane was better in terms of combat ability. Anti-UN stole the know-how from the UN on veritech fighters. Guess I'll have to put it down to superior air combat capabilities of the pilot.

Oh yeah... practicing a form of self-censorship.

humping = f***ing
SHIT! = poo-poo

... etc etc.

Dat's coz SV-51 active stealth superior to crummy F-14 radar.

Well its a fact....da enemy in macross always have more superior missiles/stealth than the current tech.

Wonder how we gonna shot down a F-22 raptor? Use a veritech?...

i meant VF-0 vs SV-51. Not his F-14. I'm talking the part when he goes to rescue Sara and ends up dogfighting with Nora. The single seater VF-0.

Superior air combat loh.


She's after all an ace.

shin is also an ace what. Except he sucks when first time flying a VF..

He's not.
Roy is.

Roy later die but I forgot who kill him...

The bugger died eating a salad. Well... ALMOST eating a salad.

His gf poison him...

Front page updated.....goodiebags from Animax for 1st 100x viewers.

Speaking of Roy Focker's death, his death scene is pretty lame in SDF Macross, where he died in the hospital after overcoming internal injuries, so technically Max's future wife, Millia has killed our fav sempai.

But thank god in DYRL at least Focker die in a more honorable and cooler way. Ops, i guess i have spoiled for those who havent watch DYRL and plan to do so in 12th of Jan.

This post has been edited by travis_ckf: Dec 30 2007, 02:02 AM

He'd rather die than eat the salad.

He prefer dying while holding a guitar lol...

It was not specifically shown that Millia's Q-rau shot him. He was definitely shot by a Q-rau but that may not be millia's.

BTW, the full Episode 1 of Macross Frontier would be shown after DYRL screening. Those attending the convention would have a good preview of the Frontier.

I thought everyone should already have downloaded that shit already?

There are some guys who dont know how to torrent, example my cousin...

Clearly cater to noobs. And hey...viewing it in lecture theatre on high resolution projector is always a good thing.

I watched Frontier like...3-4 times already.

Same here...

Yeah, i dont mind watching the 1st ep of Frontier a few more times before the new series starts in april. Now i dying for the OP for the anime!

Btw just checking, will there be any promotions for macross animes sold in the convention?

Minmay Condoms and dildo, new for 2008
I think wolfy should know

Me too... and i'm getting a serious hard on for the OP.

Not the "hard on " thing again....

I dunno if there's gonna be some discounts or promotions but I know you better bring some extra cash as there will be a buncha ppl selling figurines and toys.....and not necessarily macross figures.

Aiming for the t-shirt, keychain and figurine...

Not going to buy anything.

Dun regret if there's some pedobear stamps there for sale.

I partially retract my earlier statement. Can i resign now?


*ala Chua Soi Lek*

wonder got VF model selling at a very cheap price....

wah... like tat means u no R2 that Fri la

Website is up. Checkkid out.

http://www.macrossmalaysia.com/

wolfx are you one of the committee?...

I dun wanna be.

(so i can take part in competitions etc...lol)

WTF!? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Jom ,beat up wolfx at macross game competition...

Can you register for that PS2 competition on the day itself?

Btw, i sense a conflict of interest in wolfx.

wolfx: Has you played that PS2 gaemu before?

Yes you can.

And yes i've played it. But unfortunately i don't think the sponsors and committee will allow me to take part.

Oh and i know Ejump and some ppl are figure collectors.....i will be downsizing my figure collection....lack of space and shits. Going for dirt cheap prices for some. Some independent people are setting up booths to sell stuff and I'll tumpang my figures on one of theirs. So this is just a shameless plug to whoever that collects Japanese PVCs and figures.

anyway, i nv heard of macross game in ps 2...what kind of genre is that? Action? mecha fighting? lol

Zzzzzz.... everything good happens in Kay El and not penang.

of cos.. KL is da capital..
