Macross F Nyan Nyan Clip Collection

[Shiroth]

Macross F Nyan Nyan Clip Collection is a music video collection which shall feature eight music clips from the TV series and first film (False Diva), and shall also include new footage for this release. It's basically the Flashback 2012 (http://forums.animesuki.com/showthread.php?t=19686) of Macross Frontier.

Here's the songlist. I thank a certain special site (http://gabrielarobin.com/) for this information.

Don’t be Late
Diamond Crevasse
Northern Cross
Universal Bunny
Seikan Hikou
Anata no Oto
Koi wa Dog Fight
What ’bout my Star @ Formo
Lion
Ranka’s CMs (Starlight Nattou, Kaitaku Juuki, Daruma Seminar)
Bird Human preview (Aimo Tori no Hito) included in the movie
(and others)

There's a few more special extras,, for example a 'TV spot starring Ranka plus choreography footage starring 3D character version of Megumi Nakajima & May'n'.

Both the DVD (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=VTBL-15) and Blu-ray (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=VTXL-5) can be preordered on CDJapan.

Seeing as how the Blu-ray is region free, i'll easily be picking this up. The cost is just a little bit more then the DVD, which isn't bad at all.

So who else is looking forward to this? :3

[BetoJR]

So who else is looking forward to this? :3
I actually did pre-order the BD. :D

[Yot-chan]

If anyone's going to be in Tokyo next month, Nyan Cli is going to be shown at the Sunshine Cinema in Ikebukuro on Novemeber 26 and 27, and December 3 and 4. Tickets are ¥1000 and go on sale November 13.

I know I'm gonna be there! :D

Oh, and there are also screenings in Aichi and Osaka, same dates.

[Shiroth]

Wow a month before it's release, not bad. You can tell us all about it Yot-chan. :p

[justinstrife]

Looking forward to your review Yot-chan.

And I'll be honest, reading the thread title, I was expecting the worst... :p

[AlaAlba]

ooo, nice! music video at last. I prefer Sheryl/Ranka's vid clip than May'n/Megumi's :D

but hey! no pink monsoon!!! > >

[Shiroth]

CM for the upcoming Nyan Nyan Clip collection, as posted by raile in the second film thread.

This is going to look outstanding on Blu-ray.

No Pink Monsoon? :(

I dunno, man...I'm beginning to get a bad feeling about this... The CG looks a little too CG for my taste...more like a Vocaloid vid than Macross F.

Obviously, I'm not going to judge until I see it...but I'm getting slightly nervous.

[magnuskn]

So, we'll be getting completely new video clips for the songs? Or are those scenes from movie two? In any case, looks pretty awesome to me.

Who were the random two green haired lolis?

[Yot-chan]

Well, it says it's a mix of clips from the movie (movies...?) and TV series, with newly produced cuts. It's also got newly produced Ranka commercials, and interviews with Ranka and Sheryl.

Nothing specifically mentioned about movie 2, although...does anyone else find it strange that this is coming out BEFORE the second movie? Why not wait? It gives them more clips to choose from, does it not?

[magnuskn]

Yeah, unless some of the clips are really from movie two. Which seems... weird.

And, again, who were those two random green-haired lolis? Ranka fangirls? :p

Yeah i'm not that much into CGI Sheryl. Doesn't look awful, just doesn't work that well for me. Maybe that opinion will change during the full version. My main worry is just hoping CDJapan will get this to me before Christmas, because shipping is going to be pretty crazy around that time.

Yeah i was thinking that while watching the CM. Was wondering if they just wanted something released at Christmas, though we have the Christmas album for that. :p

And, again, who were those two random green-haired lolis? Ranka fangirls? :p
Gonna go with them being extras for the music videos. That's all. :p

SHERYL CAN PLAY A PIANO...WOW

[Yot-chan]

Got my ticket this morning... Ikebukuro Sunshine Cinema on Friday, Nov. 26 at 7:40 PM.

Is no one else from here coming...?

[Shiroth]

Kind of in the wrong country. :p

[Yot-chan]

But...I mean...I can't be the only person on this board who's currently in Tokyo. Right? Right...?

Pretty sure you're not, though if they're interested in Macross is another question. :p

[moncikoma]

Don't worry yotchan, I will be there...





But next year T T

[Ceci-chan]

Kind of in the wrong country. :p
Same here~ Otherwise, I'd be seeing it in the cinema!

The preview isn't bad, but I'm not really digging the 3D model they've shown for Sheryl. It reminds me too much of MMD, but in nicer proportions and somewhat smoother.

Love the clip of Sheryl playing piano, though. :D

Totally...I hope it's more of the latter and less of the former...

[Yot-chan]

I got to the theater twenty minutes early, hoping to get some Macross swag, but there was none. All the stickers and posters and movie programs were for Harry Potter. Feh.

While hanging out in the lobby, along with a few young geeks, a number of 40-ish men who were clearly old-school fans, and a whole lotta high school girls, I stood near the "Wings of Farewell" Ranka-as-Magical-Girl poster. Four high school girls walked up to it, cooing, "Kawaii!" And then they took pictures of it. I guess we now know what demographic that poster appeals to.

The theater was nearly full, but not completely. There were two empty seats behind me, and a few others scattered around. But it was a big theater (oddly, it was EXACTLY THE SAME theater where I saw Eva 1.0 a little bit more than three years ago. Funny).

There were previews for some movies I don't care about (like the Kamen Rider movie), but, as I expected, there were trailers for May'n the Movie (which got a laugh from the audience because it was projected at the wrong angle: the bottom of the image was about halfway up the screen...thus, when May'n spoke, it looked like the camera was avoiding her head and focusing on her chest. The projector guy quickly fixed the problem) and "Wings of Farewell" (I was hoping for a new trailer, but it was the same old one we've all seen).

And then "Nyan Cli" started.

A lot of reviews of "The False Diva" compare it to DYRL. "Nyan Cli" seemed like it would be the equivalent of "Flashback 2012," so comparing the two seems apt. As you may know, FB2012 was essentially a music video collection, sandwiched by a few minutes worth of new (and stunning) animation. "Nyan Cli," it turns out, is nothing like that. Probably more than 50% of the footage is completely new. None of it is essential, but most of it is a lot of fun.

Spoilers follow:

Remember those new pics of Sheryl sitting on a Ferrari, and Ranka in a school uniform on a train? Yeah. This is where they come from. We open with Sheryl driving her Ferrari across a lengthy bridge on Frontier. When she stops, she gets interviewed. The interview sections continue throughout the movie: the screen turns black, with a question printed on it, and then Sheryl (and later, Ranka) answer. Most of the questions, unfortunately, flashed by too quickly for me to read them, but a lot of them were simple interview questions: "What is 'singing' to you?" "What is love?" "What does 'Sheryl Nome' mean to you?" (Sheryl's answer to that one was great: something like, "the voice, the instruments, the melody...when all of it comes together. That's Sheryl Nome." Ranka's answer was something like, "You'll have to ask someone else, really").

After a few questions, "Universal Bunny" started, and it was pretty much exactly the same concert scene as in the movie, going so far as to include Ranka looking embarrassed when Black Bunny Sheryl kisses White Bunny Sheryl. And it also made me realize that nearly all the songs in "Nyan Cli" are shortened versions: "Universal Bunny" only lasted about four minutes.

Ah, but then, the film took off. "Iteza Gogo Kuji Don't Be Late" was truly exquisite. No new animation, really, all those same clips from episode 1 of the show (like Sheryl pulling away from the mike as she sings "laaaaaaaate!" But they were simple white outlines on a black background. Then the white started changing to other colors, the camera pulled out, and the dancing Sheryls formed patterns, with the camera swooping in and out, zooming around one pinwheeling cluster of Sheryls, diving through another. It was completely abstract, and completely mesmerizing.

Then they introduced Ranka, and "Anata no Oto" was next (which shows Ranka literally walking on water), followed by "Koi no Dogfight" (the only song which was longer here than on the CD). That one was cool...a hot pink VF-25 flying through the air, shooting hearts and and love missiles at SD versions of all the characters. It was great.

Likewise, "Seikan Hikou" was wonderful, kind of a mix of episode 12 and the OP for ep. 17...just with MORE hearts, MORE stars, and Keitai-kun breakdancing.

Then we got to some of the ads, which ran occasionally throughout the whole thing. Remember episode 1, with the "Nyan Nyan" ad? Yeah, it was like that, but funnier. (And in case you're wondering, the mini-Rankas in the Youtube preview are two of the seven colors for the Zentradi-sized carrots...yes, each color has a dancer). The natto ad was especially disgusting, and the shot of Ranka on the train comes from the Daruma Seminar ad.

There's also the trailer for "Bird Human"...mostly footage taken directly from Macross Zero, with Ranka, Miranda Merin, and whoever the dude was who played Shin put in where the Mao, Sara, and Shin were originally. And yes, you get to see Miranda's butt.

The CGI Sheryl (in "Northern Cross") and Ranka (in "Anata no Oto") were not as dreadful as I feared. Still unconvincing, but the camera rarely lingered on them. And in all other ways, the "Northern Cross" video was great...set on the ship from the final concert scene in "False Diva," except this time, the ship actually TAKES OFF and flies through the air, with Sheryl at the wheel.

But the one that you'll all love is the "Diamond Crevasse" video, which is the one with Sheryl playing piano. She's wearing a lovely masquerade mask through a lot of it, and wandering through an empty, moonlit Venice, and the whole thing is excruciatingly beautiful.

It closes out with "Lion," which is probably the most standard (i.e "Flashback 2012"-like) video of the bunch, and one of the least impressive. But it hardly matters, really. There ARE weaknesses in the collection, but overall it's so charming and so much fun that it's difficult to complain.

So yeah...very different from what I was expecting. The way the credits were separate for each video (and that each one had different staff) makes me think that this is really just a way for the different animators at Satelight to strut their stuff and try to outdo each other. And as a short, fun "jam session," it works beautifully. If you like Sheryl, you'll love at least some portions of it. If you like Ranka, you'll love some others. If you like both, then this is a must-see, since it's really a forty-minute love letter to both of them.

[Shiroth]

Staying away from your 'details' because i don't want to be spoiled, though i'm glad to hear it turned out to be pretty interesting. Not a long wait now for the Blu-ray!

[BetoJR]

Oh, it's gonna be a long wait, alright... I'm also feeling slightly envious, right now. I don't know why...

[DragoZERO]

The CG looks horrible. It's like... a waste of money.

[Yot-chan]

The CG looks horrible. It's like... a waste of money.
Did you read the review? :D

[DragoZERO]

No, I don't want to spoil myself either. But it still doesn't change the fact that it looks horrible in that trailer.

Sheryl is so scrumptious. :love:

[moncikoma]

I heard there is a delay around 2 - 3 months for 2nd movie, because of this nyanclip
If this nyanclip is so important...and success
I hope they will make another one based on the
2nd movie...I am sure there is more songs also worth to be animated

-pink moonson
-obelisk
-what about my star
-ribe
-welcome to my stage
-songbird
-yousei
-and many more XD

And the setting is around 2-3 years after sayonara no tsubasa
So we can see sheryl at her 20's ....just married XD

Cute Ranka is cute~ As are the cute chibis. (Bobby! <3)

WAIT WHAT full version of Koi wa Dogfight?? I dig it. B)

The 3D animation isn't as bad as I initially thought, based on the earlier trailer, but it's not preferred. I'm looking forward to the rest of the Nyan Cli videos. :D

That's the complete extent of the 3D animation of Ranka. The Sheryl 3D stuff is equally brief.

And yeah...Koi no Dogfight rocks. :D

[pinoy78]

Best I've ever seen Ranka animated.

Thank goodness! I think it would have been a waste if the videos had extended scenes animated in the MMD style. btw, thanks for sharing. : )

It's my favorite track on CMRanka. :D I'm glad to know there's a full version of it now!

@ying;
Thank you for sharing~

homg Sheryl playing piano is the best <3 <3
I think I might just have to buy the Nyan Cli BD now. :p

[raile]

Diamond Crevasse is really lovely. The scene is beautiful with a melancholic touch. The scenery, the water, the masks...so gorgeous! *u*

Also...

THE BLACK NEKO!!! X3
Sniffu....how I wish the neko would be a regular. ;____; It's nice to see a normal animal for once. XD

[soranarumi]

Koi no Dogfight is my favorite track on CMRanka too.
I wish I can buy Nyan Clip, but I can't :(

[wisteria233]

I just saw the whole Nyanx2 Clip today and let me just say I wish that we were able to see the full version of the Diamond Crevasse track it was very beautiful, and very much like the character.

With both the Northern Cross, and the Anata no Oto track I wish that neither received any 3-D animation. They looked so much better animated.

The entire Nyan Clip seemed more like something you'd get from a DVD or Blue Ray special rather than as something that should stand alone. Though I do love the Diamond Crevasse track this selection doesn't have enough "new" bits in it to actually make me justify buying it it is after all only 30 minutes long. Now if this came together with an album or the movie then I could see myself buying it but besides that *shakes head*.

[moncikoma]

Really? Where did you hear that?

from someone in this forum...forgot who:heh:

[woodearth]

The Diamond Crevasse segment is definitely the highlight of the this collection. In my opinion the most well thought out and executed segment. I like that it shows a bit more of how galaxy would look like inside.

[Yot-chan]

from someone in this forum...forgot who:heh:
Huh.

I don't think it's true.

Nyan Clip NORTHERN CROSS @ Youtube
WFmArjZguI0

The channel also has a shit ton of other clips too:
http://www.youtube.com/user/ZKYvk


Iunno, from what's on there, it totally doesn't look like it's worth the money @_@ So much recycling of old scenes, too little reanimating and/or revisions...
So little sheryl too :x

[moncikoma]

http://www.youtube.com/user/ZKYvk#p/u/9/Rfzar0Pcat4
0 : 51 i love this parts...

she is so cute...when answering question about her earring...

that earring is very important...because everything starts from it..

[magnuskn]

God, the Northern Cross video was trying to destroy my speakers via excessive scratching noises. :frustrated:

Very enticing visually, though. The Diamond Crevasse one is also very well done. I'll have to check out the others when I find the time.

[MichiNekoChan]

owch. scratches make me pull away. I have a 720p version on my compy though. <3

I think Diamond Crevasse, Koi no Dogfight, and Northern Cross were my top 3 (in no particular order)

I actually made part of N.C my avi...Shame I'm semi-terrible at making Gifs. Photoshop needs to give me back my ImageReady.


PS- now all i need is a script/subs to make sure I'm listening to/mentally translating the interviews correctly (My japanese is super basic)

[soranarumi]

My favorite goes to Northern Cross, Diamond Crevasse and Koi no Dogfight

I kinda laughing at Seikan Hikou, wow heart-shaped-earth LOL. At Northern Cross, Sheryl is wearing a ring, is it the same with the Zentraedi used?

[raile]

I was busy LOLing at the star-shaped planet. :heh:

[triangler_fans1]

My favorite goes to Diamond Crevasse, Anata no Oto and Lion.
I like a long version of this videos.


:)

[moncikoma]

too bad diamond creves video is short...
it should be full length 05:58 minutes...


but the liooon is quite long...not bad :p
i dont mind if they put some old scenes from the tv to make it long...:p

[ippus]

_gWRRhz2vdc

Lion and Iteza on the same channel. Still waiting on Universal bunny and I think that will be it...?

[ibby]

I have seen the Macross Frontier Nyan Nyan Clip collection and thought it was very good. Just wondering if any fansub groups have picked up this? I ask just because in the Nyan Nyan Clip collection I would like to understand what's been said.

[moncikoma]

Any of u guys know? we will see sheryl and ranka singing at concert again soon
Not @ nyanclip ... Guess what?

Eh, not quite (http://www.mania.com/playstation-japan-gets-macross-frontier-virtual-concert_article_127888.html). It sounds like the return of the MMD-style animation used in Northern Cross and Anato no Oto (and animated Sheryl's face horribly).
