OtakuHome News info in the new Macross 30th game

On Thursday, Enterbrain's Weekly Famitsu magazine unveiled all three modes of the YF-30 Chronos, the new transformable fighter designed by Macross co-creator Shoji Kawamori that will make its debut in next February's Macross 30: Ginga o Tsunagu Utagoe game for the PlayStation 3. The fully-rendered Fighter mode was already shown in last week's promotional video. Now then let me be the first to say Im not all that thriled by the new desing I meen I know most of the valcarys look simaler but this one just looks to much like the VF-25 for my tast and i see this as a step backwords in desing from the YF-29

Weekly Famitsu also introduced some of the different kinds of sub-quests that players can accept through the game's Valkyrie Guild: delivery, threat suppression, bounty hunting, and escort. The magazine highlighted the game's original paint schemes for the earlier variable fighters: VF-25, YF-29, and VF-1S. The new schemes are available as bonus extras in the limited "30th Anniversary Super Galaxy Box" edition and in pre-ordered copies of the game.

The game has two types of controls: the Type A modeled after the controls in such games as the PSP's Macross Trial Frontier and the PlayStation 3 mini-game Macross Last Frontier, and the Type B that allows the player to manually move the weapons lock-on cursor for pinpoint accuracy. The game's Easy setting (the loweest of the three difficulty levels) has an auto combat feature; when a novice toggles the feature on during the game, an AI will take over the controls and automatically fight the battle.

The brand-new story of this 30th-anniversary Macross title is set in 2060, 50 years after the Space War I conflict seen in the first Macross series and one year after the Vajra War seen in Macross Frontier. Above the planet Ouroboros in the far reaches of the galaxy, S.M.S. pilot Rion Sagaki (voiced by Miyu Irino) is suddenly attacked by an unknown enemy and shot down in his transformable variable fighter VF-25. There, he is rescued by the heroine Aisha Blanchett (Marina Inoue), the young Zentradi head of S.M.S.'s branch on Ouroboros.

Due to the intermittent space-fold faults known as "Ouroboros Aurora," Rion cannot immediately return home. He joins Aisha in investigating the planet's ruins, and while on an underground survey there, the two discover a sleeping girl named Miina Forte (Miss Macross 30 contest winner Haruka Chisuga). He later encounters his rival and former friend, pilot Rod Barutomaa (Mamoru Miyano) of the New U.N. Forces' special unit Hávamál.

The game will arrive in Japan on February 28 in standard and limited first editions, and both have about 113 minutes of voice actor interviews, as well as the in-game CG movies "Burning Fire" and "Get it on-Flying Rock" from the earlier Macross Ultimate Frontier and Macross Triangle Frontier games.

otakunick anime reviews (Macross Frontier: sayonara tsubasa)

Hey guys its me Otakunick and boy do i have a treat for all my readers that are Macross fans. Well atlest the ones that don't think frontier is a steaming heap of shit. That's tight the second of the new Macross F movies has found its way to me and i have to say i rely did love it.

First off lets talk plot picking up from where the previous movie left off, Ranka's star career flourishes while Sheryl's health rapidly deteriorates after collapsing during a live performance. At the same time, separate factions are maneuvering behind the scenes seeking to control the Vajra horde by utilizing the singing abilities of the two songstresses. As the entire Macross Frontier fleet begins to wage the final war on the Vajra, Alto finally makes a choice between Ranka and Sheryl. That's right the princess himself makes up his mind ending what has probly been the most fought over love triangle in Macross history. Who dose his pick you ask well that's sum thing you'l have to see for you'r self or just go for 4chans /m/ bored thy have been biching and moaning about it since last night.

The art just like the last movie is great but not without its hick-ups. On more then one occasion i notest charter models that just did not look right. Granted it was not all the time but even so in this day and age you rely should not have problems like that especially in a movie of one of animes most well known franchises.

And what do you want me to say about the music its a fucking Macross movie its going to be great. Hell there are only three things that rely defines the hole franchise and that fighter jets that turn into robots badly resolved love triangles and great music. And even tho they acholy fixed the love triangle part that dos not mean the music is going to suck. Infact this movie's sound track just scored a place in my list of best sound tracks of the year right below skyrims OST.

So all and all i say check this out if you have seen the first movie. Because let me say you will not get it if you only watched the anime the story from these two moves and the anime cud not be any further apart unless you changed the charter models and names. and if you have not seen the first movie go find it and watch it now. Untill next time this has been otalunick saying i wish i had a YF-19
