For those die-hard Macross fans out there, Bandai has finally released their first Region 2 formatted DVD of Macross F/ Macross Frontier I in Japan on July 23rd, 2008. (Okay, so this may be old news for some of you otaku.)

Play-Asia has it up for sale if you want to snag a copy for yourself to see what all the hype is about the newest Macross anime series:

It shouldn't be too long before Macross Frontier mecha model kits and toys come out. That should be something to look forward to. ^_~

This Macross Frontier anime series is presented in 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio. Perfect for those with such widescreen HD setups. Should look pretty nice upscaled to 1080p with the PS3 console. ^_~

Dear Mr. PC Engine Fan X!

Please stop replying to your own threads. It's kind of freak-o.

I can't even read his posts anymore. I just see colors and symbols.

I hated this series once I realized J-Pop wouldn't save the world. I think that was episode 2 of the original TV show.

I saw an episode of the series with traveling guitar sing man. Like, I think people wanted to kill him so he just got in their face and sung his stupid j-singer j-songwriter ballshat. Completely retardgay and a waste of good mechanical designs.

aren't the DVDs doing something dumb like have ONE episode per disc...

And they still charge 30 dollars, and shit up the box art. US anime distributors are telling you to use torrents.

It'll probably never get an American or European release thanks to those wonderful folks at Harmony Gold.

Harmony Gold needs to stop dicking around and realize that they could still make $$$ by properly releasing such past Macross properities such as Macross 7, Macross Zero and Macross Frontier on DVD and Blu-Ray formats for the North American market.

They probably figure it would cut into Robotech sales.

As if the Robotech and Macross anime properties can't co-exist peacefully side-by-side on the retailer's shelf. I'd gladly support buying such properly released USA region latter released Macross anime series if they'd do it.

It's interesting to note that Tatsunoko Productions (aka Tatsunoko Pro nowdays) was banking on their Super Dimensional Century Orguss anime series to be popular when they decided to make Super Dimensional Fortress Macross first and the rest of the story is anime history. Btw, Orguss tanked and Macross proved to be more successful than they ever hoped it to be. ^_~
