Macross 30th Anniversary Blu-ray boxed set coming to Japan
Continuing on with Blu-ray news that’s totally blowing my mind, the Japanese arm of Bandai Visual has revealed that they’re planning to unleash a massive Blu-ray boxed set of the original Macross series! This show, in the guise of the first third of the Robotech saga, as we saw it here in North America back in the ’80s, was instrumental in shaping my love for anime, the giant robot genre and for serial storytelling in general. I don’t think it’s too far fetched to say that some aspect of the story, the design or the legacy of the series is present in my life on an everyday basis (aside from the fact that I’m perpetually gazing at the three large character models I have sitting above my television.)

Nor does the release of the Blu-ray disc of the penultimate film, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn - Part 1. It'll be on store shelves in a few weeks, which I take to mean that the final installment of the series will be hitting cinemas shortly thereafter. At this point, I think I'm just going to wait 'till this whole things is wrapped up before I dive in and experience sparkling vampires for myself. ...Continued...
