Macross SpeakerPODcast returns, this time with special guest, Anime News Network‘s own EGAN LOO! (This means we’re legit now or something, right?). You might know him better as the author of the original Macross Compendium.
In between the latest Chie ‘Mylene’ Kajiura’s latest gig, we report on the Oshare Macross VD event, visit Wonder Festival for all the latest toy news, reveal the secret behind Macross 30’s extras and check out Yamato Toy’s old office.
Oh yeah, we also meet some guy called Shoji Kawamori.
There have been a few changes made to the podcast format this time around. For starters, we’ve dropped the ‘what we’ve been watching’ segment in order to focus more on Macross-related stuff. Since we also went more than a little overtime, theres no Macross Fan Voxpop this episode.
And what did we learn from all this? Well, for starters, its not a very good idea to record a group of people while theres a box of jellybeans on the table. Also, what is seen at Comiket cannot be unseen, no-matter how hard you try.
Episode 7, Part 3 00:00:00-00:17:57 Firebomber in concert 2012 00:17:58-00:26:51 Megumi Nakajima’s 5th Anniversary Concert ‘MeguMagic’ 00:26:51- 00:51:30 Macross 30 and final words from Antibiotictab
With the final (that we know of) 30th Anniversary events drawing to a close, we decided to try something special this episode by renting/recording in the special Firebomber-themed karaoke room at Ikebukuro Joysound.
As such, the sound is little different than usual, but hey, what better ambience for a Macross podcast than rooms full of people singing Firebomber and Frontier songs in the background while we discuss our impressions of The MUSICALTURE, the FB7 movie, Firebomber live in concert, the VF-4G, Macross 30, and the fateful day when Renato, Gubaba, Yoshiki Fukuyama and a bag full of Orgus VHS tapes collided….literally!
Also, this episode features another Macross Voxpop, as well as the debut of Antibiotictab!
WARNING – Part 1 includes spoilers for Evangelion Q (3.0). And yes, we forgot to tell the ‘Lego story.’
[Edit by Renato:] Antibiotictab was kind enough to film, edit and upload a trailer for this episode onto Youtube! Check it out below:
