SpeakerPODcast Ep.87 – Tomonori Kogawa & Wonder Festival 2017 Summer.

We went out looking for a paper mache Valkyrie, but somehow ended up in a small room with Ideon/Dunbine/Southern Cross Character Designer Tomonori Kogawa for FOUR hours… how on earth did THAT happen? (hint: Adrian).

We also go over all the latest toy news from Wonder Festival and OH THERE’S A NEW MACROSS DELTA MOVIE ON THE WAY! Time to GIRI GIRI AIgain!

WONDER FESTIVAL 2017 SUMMER

Wonder Festival 2017 Summer was held at Makuhari Messe on Sunday July 30.

The following gallery is roughly formatted into four main categories.
The first section deals with all items, both commercial and fan-made, for Macross, Megazone 23 and Mospeada.
The second section deals with all other toy and figure categories.
Sections three and four are photos from special displays to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of toy manufacturer Max Factory. One is a gallery of tribute art which was absolutely one of the highlights of the show. The other includes a few shots from a much larger gallery of all of Mac Factory’s products to date.

2017 is shaping up to be the summer of MACROSS as Adrian visits the Macross Beach House and reports back with some early impressions.
Tired of waiting for the release of UTA MACROSS? We sit down to talk about the recent Beta (and looking’ at balls).
Finally, we are joined by a very special guest as we sit down with cosplayer extraordinaire  Yaya Han to discuss her experiences with Macross cosplay and how the industry has continued to evolve (follow her on twitter here.).
Oh, and did you hear the news? Kakizaki is BACK!

All opinions expressed are solely those of the speaker/s. Thank you to everyone who took the time to submit something. Without you, this podcast wouldn’t be possible.

SpeakerPODcast EP.84 – The BLAME! name game.

NEWS! NEWS! AND MORE NEWS!
The Crew checks in with all the latest Macross news before settling in to watch the recently released CG adaptation of Tsutomu Nihei’s BLAME! (ブラム) .

How well does it stack up against the manga? And how is it supposed to be pronounced, anyway?!?
