Live Action Macross
Have you been waiting for some live action Macross? Well wait no longer.
Fever Macross is a new series of Pachinko machines which should be out in the parlors now. They got a cool set of live action TV commercials too.
The official website is interesting too. When the page finishes loading, you can tilt the joystick at the bottom of the screen.
My fave Macross girls are Minmay and Misa although choosing between the two is tough ^^;
Misa below...
And Minmay below.

If only this live action was actually a tv show... Strange results, but probably would be pretty awesome.

Let's hope if there was ever a live-action version, it won't be called Robotech and starring Zec Effron.

Looks set for awesomeness. I'm looking forward to this, even though I haven't watched a single episode of the anime (I played the Atari console games, so I know a little bit about the stories).

As an old fan of Macross, I have to say Misa as my favorite female character prolly.
I really like that they used the old Macross songs. They're still the best!
About that......
this is definitely a good thing.. unfortunately you got harmony gold who would probably go all out to stop this from being brought to us or they want a high percentage of takings. theyre total bastards for not letting macross fans like ourselves to enjoy stuff like this. this why you dont see other macross series other then macross plus outside of japan in english format.
plus, they are trying to bring out their robotech live action film having tobey maguire as rick hunter and producer of this film. if theres a live action macross film, i would happily watch it within a heartbeat

RAGE @ Harmony Gold
About that......
got to hand it to adv who did a good job at reintroducing macross to the fans in proper format. too bad we wont see any other macross series in english format other then macross and macross plus coz of HG
Navy Recruit
I applauad ADV, but whoever did the voice casting needs a better ear. Misa did not sound good done by Monica Rial.
About that......
would you want harmony golds version or advs version. its true they shoulda chose a better voice actor for misa, but the current misa did better at least ^^
unemployed machinist.. yeah
Is why I have the Animego DVD releases that are subtitled only ^_^
Navy Recruit
I dunno who could have done a better job...Michelle Ruff? Im just saying that because shes one of my absolute favorites. I mean, Vic Mignogna did Hikaru,
At least we would have had Junpei and Yukari as Macross Leads.

As much as I have the hots for the Galactic Nymph, Sheryl Nome, My loyalty lies with the Voice that launched a Thousand ships, Minmay. And come on, it's Mari Ijiwaru we're talking about here.. =P * sings Ai Oboete Imasuka*
About that......
i agree, if it wasnt for lyn minmey the zentradi-human alliance wouldnt have happened. DECULTURE NYAN!

Make it a reality... NAO! Very awesome commercials!
It was a hard choice for the poll... but I know Misa had quite an impact on me on the old show and the DYRL movie.

Whoa! I'd want to watch this! The commercials are terrific!
I have met Iijima Mari-san before. Misa made an impact on my life in the past. Sheryl is Sheryl. Ranka is love. Where is the "All" option?! Oh and I also liked girls like Mylene. Sorry everyone. Ranka gets my vote.

Was hoping to see a Live Action Ranka & Sheryl actually. I guess the original Macross is a bit old for me ^^;
Those awesome commercials made my day ^^ And about the poll, Misa FTW!!

In the classic anime... I prefer Misa Hayase than the annoying and stupid Lin Minmay... I believe Misa deserve Hikaru so much....

Misa was always the best in my book. Minmei...Once she started hooking up with her cousin, I lost interest. The period I liked her was just the first two episodes she appears in. (2-3)
Ranka...A little tough to accept, but shes alright, Notably because of Filipino/Japanese Megumi Nakajima.
And Sheryl? Shes fine, Shes a favorite, But she doesnt trump Misa.

Yeah, I picked Ranka because of the pinay. Er, half-pinay. Ha ha ha!
If Ranka was removed from the poll, I'd pick Misa though.

Dang, thought there was going to be a real live action movie that is as dramatic as the acting in Power Rangers or Kamen Rider. That would be fun, lol.
Only watched the classic show but not the more recent one. It will probably be the opposite here so it will only be natural if Sheryl the singing phenomena wins the votes.

Yup, they did the same thing with the Evangelion Pachinko Machines. (^.^)
As long as it's not an American production, I'm behind it.

The only Macross I've managed to see is Macross 7, though I'd love to see the others sometime. The live-action looks awesome. As for the poll, where's the Mylene love, hmm? ;)
unemployed machinist.. yeah
Well, Another old school Macross Fan.. Who has to say.. Misa is prolly the strongest and best female lead. Minmay was too whining sometimes.. I'm glad to see she finally grew up, when they did flashback 2012.
My wish isn't a live action Macross, Screw that.. USually live actions are horrid and a mess. I want to know what happened to Megaroad one. Thats what I think every Macross fan really wants to know.. What really happened to Megaroad 1

Even if they're making one, I'm hoping it's not by Hollywood. I'm not counting Robotech.

THAT WAS AWESOME!!! Makes me want to watch a live-action Macross movie... then again most live-action adaptations of anime aren't really good so maybe I'll just stick to anime XD

Forgot making live-action adaptations: just go with high-end CG.The Armored core series always had really high-end realistic CG, imagine if they budgeted the animation studio who does those with a big-movie budget and your done.

If the actors and actresses are properly chosen, and if the project is taken seriously and the advices of die-hard fans are heeded Macross would be a success like Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and Ironman. I like the Japanese girl in the commercial.

Nice commercials.
Don´t know which my favorite macross girl is from those. But I have to give me vote to Misa. First tsundere girl of the bunch and I just found how she developed during the series is wonderful so.
I have to give her my vote.

When I was watching the original series, it was Misa by far. But when I saw the movie, I liked Minmay way better. Also especially because of Macross Flashback OVA.

Yet ANOTHER reason Japan is better than the US. Vegas commercials are stupid. Japanese gambling commercials have giant robots. Win.
About that......

You forgot about Sharon Apple and Myung from Macross Plus!! It would be cool to see a real live action Macross movie, but I have a fear that if a American studio does it they will half-ass it and ruin the serious; Like Transformers.
