I was actually kind of surprised that I only ordered the regular edition of Macross Frontier rather than the LE, but given that I rarely do anything with those extras, I guess it was just a fleeting moment of lucidity on my part that&#8217;ll soon pass.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, the first pressing with both of these releases is a clip of film from both works. For iM@S, it&#8217;s a clipping from the first episode of the anime. For Macross Frontier, well&#8230; it&#8217;s supposedly from the movie, but given people have been reporting getting clippings from such exotic content as the anti-piracy advert that played before hand, I suppose all bets are off.<\/p>\n<p>Not that the iM@S clippings are necessarily better, being that there&#8217;s always the risk of getting one of the scant few frames containing Producer-san (I&#8217;ve seen those on Japanese blogs as well) or worse. And given my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.beta-waffle.com\/blog\/?p=1606#more-1606\">previously reported luck on such random matters<\/a>, I&#8217;m largely expecting worse. Much worse. And I say &#8220;expecting&#8221; as I&#8217;m writing this preamble without having opened them up.<\/p>\n<p>Which does mean that, should they fail to be either particularly terrible or amazing, it&#8217;ll be something of a disappointment of a post. But, hey, let&#8217;s open them up&#8230;<br \/>\n<!--more--><br \/>\nOkay, let&#8217;s start with Macross Frontier&#8230;<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"piccytures\/rnd\/macross_film_1.jpg\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nUrrr, yeah &#8211; if that&#8217;s hard to make out, it&#8217;s only partially due to my atrocious camera skills &#8211; it&#8217;s kind of small and dark in person, too. Let&#8217;s see if I can carefully remove it from the packaging and get a better shot&#8230;<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"piccytures\/rnd\/macross_film_2.jpg\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nThats&#8230; slightly clearer, maybe? Suppose I need some better way of taking pictures of these things in future.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I guess that&#8217;s Ranka and&#8230; Ranka? I don&#8217;t know, I guess this is where having seen the movie beforehand may have helped in the identification process. Anyway, I&#8217;m more of a Ranka than a Sheryl fan, so what appears to be Double Ranka (until one of you proves me wrong) is good by me.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s have a look at the iM@S one&#8230;<br \/>\n<center><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"piccytures\/rnd\/imas_film.jpg\" \/><\/center><br \/>\nHard to misidentify that, I guess &#8211; Iori and Yayoi on the couch. Many a person would probably consider that one a win, even with the subtitle on there. Personally, I&#8217;d have preferred Ritsuko. Guess I shouldn&#8217;t complain, though &#8211; at least it&#8217;s not a candle&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, my copy of the second Macross Frontier movie and my PS3 iM@S2 box turned up today.
