We here at Live-eviL are proud to announce another classic Blu-ray release!
For this, you must set your WABAC machines to the year 1982 when this saga first started. (google Peabody and Sherman)
Do you remember? When this saga first hit the TV airwaves and changed anime viewing, and not to mention touched off a massive merchandising craze?
Do you remember? (within the Macross timeline) how the world was rudely shown that they are NOT alone by an alien race dropping an city sized space ship on it?
And do you remember how the life of Hikaru Ichijyo changed forever nearly 10 years later after the world focused its resources on restoring the derelict craft now named SDF-1 Macross and do you remember, how Roy Focker invited Hikaru to what should have been the very highly celebrated maiden voyage/ launch of the Macross, even inviting him to try an experimental? aircraft.
But nothing ever goes as planned, during the launch ceremony, a space war fleet from an alien race arrives into the solar system and identifies the Macross as a former battleship used by their enemies. And without warning, the original systems of the Macross, override the crew’s commands and fire its main cannon, wiping out the advance alien scouts and starting a war.
And so starts the Macross anime saga which we are NOT releasing! 😉
This is Macross DYRL! Or the Macross movie. In the summer of 1984, this movie hit the big screen in Japan and took everyone by surprise.
The storyline of the film does not fit directly into the Macross chronology, and was originally an alternate-universe retelling of the story, but was later established as part of the Macross universe. Within the Macross universe it is a popular movie (i.e. a movie within a television series)
There will be 2 versions. 10-bit and 8-bit, both with DTS and AC3 sound.
You will notice a few animation edits in the movie. Unlike the version we released in 2009 which is unedited. These edits were done on purpose by the director, Shoji Kawamori. These edits don’t affect the storyline at all.
As this is a Blu-ray encode, the file sizes are rather large, this is in fact the biggest release we have done to date! Enjoy!
Suzaku. Meow baby! =^-^=
For those trying to restore the few seconds to the edited blu-ray version. It is not worth it. You’ll just make it worse. Go email Shoji Kawamori and tell him you want a uncensored version. Good luck with that.
Enjoy the movie!

As usual, get it from the bots in our IRC channel,?#live-evil @irc.rizon.net?or grab it off?BitTorrent.
Hi, I have a little question,
your release has anything hardcoded?
It’s softsubbed.
i know the edits don’t affect the storyline… but have you thought about replacing the censored version with the original uncut scene and upscaling it? I don’t want my Japanese cartoons to be edited by George Lucas thank you.
No, I don’t think we want to mess with splicing in DVD quality into a BD encode for a couple of rather meaningless seconds…
Wasn’t the blu ray supposed to be an upscale anyway? So I guess it wouldn’t be to bad, I mean the Trust and Betrayal blu has some upscaled footage, but that shit was a proper remaster.
you do not seem to understand the concept of a blu ray release.

this is NOT what is done in a blu release, that will result in horrid and undesirable video.
What IS done, is that they go BACK to the original best film masters and then digitize in HD getting the best capture they can of each frame of film one by one at a time. This captures EVERY flaw the camera ever saw, the brush-strokes of the animators ETC, you can even see the film grain sometimes.
you will NOT see this on a up-scaled DVD capture.
any plans to redo Flashback 2012 as well?
No, the blu-ray for that was an upscale. A very bad upscale. Not worth it.
Just curious while its downloading, what were the edits? Its been awhile since I last watched it and I’m curious.
Blurring out two scenes: head crush and head cut.
Ah, those two scenes. Regretable that they felt the need.
Shame about the censoring, you would think Japan would be over it in 2012 or so. Thanks for the encode refresh.
Thanks for the release!! I totally love this movie, probably my favorite anime movie ever.
Also, I was worried about the cuts but after hearing they were just the graphic head cut/explosion (the cut in particular felt TOTALLY out of place when I first saw it) my fears are alleviated. It might have been an artistic choice to take them out instead of pure censorship.
I’m not sure about that, but I certainly don’t miss them, regardless 😛
