Macross: DYRL poll

[ZenAmako]

As many of you know, Bandai Visual will be releasing a new HD remaster of the classic 1984 film Macross: Do You Remember Love? on DVD in late December.

This is my favorite anime movie ever, so I'm very tempted to get this. However, I've become spoiled by Blu-ray / HD DVD quality over the past year, and I'd say my days of dropping $100 on a standard definition DVD are over - especially when I know an HD master is involved. Otoh, HDM is still a niche, and it does seem that a number of people are buying it. Thus, I made a poll.

[Buster Darkwings]

Will be buying both (assuming a Blu-Ray version does indeed come out someday, which is pretty likely), but will probably sell off the DVD on Yahoo Japan. I probably wouldn't bother with the DVD if I couldn't easily sell on YJ, though.

[Sweeped]

Wasn't going to, but when I saw all the premiums packed with it, I couldn't resist. The value for the price is awesome.

[Ialdaboth]

I chose Yes, I plan to buy both the Macross DYRL DVD (LE) and Macross Flashback 2012 by next month.

I won't buy any BR/HD-DVD edition while this idiotic format war is still going on :p

[KShinjo]

Yes, I am buying the DVD release. I will also buy the HD-DVD or Blu-ray version when one of the formats becomes the clear victor.

[Mazinkaizer]

Well if it had a sub then i would have probably got it, so i'll just wait for a BD release later, which i hope to have sub.

Well you have a point there, but in Japan the format war is no longer there ! at least not like how it is in the US.

[Thanatos]

What is "De-culchaa!!" ?

Well you have a point there, but in Japan the format war is no longer there ! at least not like how it is in the US.

And I'm precisely waiting for the US market to determine the winner ;) as this market is probably the biggest in the world (or so I think), any victor there would have a tremendous advantage on the world market.

(...that, and I'm perfectly happy with my DVDs and not feel like needing to switch for possibly more restrictive mediums)

[Njr Scrawl]

I am. I would double dip for a HD DVD release, or any subtitled release, including Blu Ray (be enough reason to convert)

[Skywise]

I'll wait for the BD release. I already have the old R2 DVD which is enough to tide me over until then.

That one's for the Zentradi...

[KK1]

Same here.

[Keith]

I never got around to grabbing the old R2, so I'm definately up for this, remastered & so much more content, and the same price.

And if it's released again with subtitles, I'll be all for whatever format.

[Njr Scrawl]

I'm wondering if the regular edition case cover will be used for the case inside the LE box.

It looks a new illustration as well. I much rather have Minmay & Hikaru than the shrew & him :confused: . I'd have to buy the RE also as its too late to cancel my LE order now (unless I invalidated my CC)

[AUSTIN316]

Let's see, so far I have bought the horrid Kiseki "Clash of the Bionoids" and "Do You Remember Love?" videos, the CAV LD and the DVD... Yep of course I am buying it! The L.E will be mine in a few weeks along with the first 3 City Hunter singles. It will be held up waiting for Ayu's GUILTY cds to be released though. Damn I wish it wasn't another 1 January release, it always takes longer to get here cause of stupid Christmas holidays :(

EDIT: I will of course pre-order the inevitable BD version as well as the TV series on BD if it happens, I hope it does.

[MalrocK]

Both for me. My LE DYRL DVD should be shipping soon and I'll get the Blu-ray release when it comes out in 10 years :)
