A cool little promotional trailer for a new short film titled All That VF has sprung up on the official website for Macross Frontier (Viewable in 1mb or 500kb bandwidth). All That VF assembles the myriad variable fighters from the history of the Macross anime franchise, probably to do battle and fly around in an awesome and stylish fashion. An ID code included with both the Macross Frontier Volume 1 Blu-Ray Disc and the Macross Zero Blu-Ray Disc Box (releasing July and August, respectively) will allow owners to watch the complete short film online. 

 

Now if you'll excuse me I have some catching up to do in Macross Frontier.

A couple press releases from AX hit the air today: First off, they announced the 3rd annual SPJA Industry Conference with inclusive key notes and panels, at which we'll see reps from SPJA, Japan External Trade Organization, FUNimation, and Crunchy Roll. Among the keynote speakers/panelists: Trulee Karahashi (CEO SPJA), Shigeru Kimura (Chiefe Executive Director JETO), Gen Fukunaga (CEO FUNimation), and Vu Nguyen (VP of Business-Development Crunchy Roll).

Gurren Lagann is back! Well, not in its entirety but in a very cool form nonetheless. The video above is the first part of eight in a series of music videos produced by Gainax titled Gurren Lagann Parallel Works. Each video contains brand new animation bolstered by the rad music from Gurren Lagann. The first clip sees our heroes in a fantasy setting complete with swords and Ganmen-like monsters with the Dai-Gurren-Dan theme (Rap is a Man's Soul) pumping in the background.

 

I loved seeing the Gurren Lagann guys again, and having the adult Simon on screen with Kamina causes a paradox so awesome that it made me go all Keanu Reeves with excitement: "Whoa." 

 

GL fans, if you haven't had your nerd-gasm yet today, then hurry up and watch the video! Why are you still reading this?
