Thank you. I also own the poster card collection which has rather large illustrations printed on card stock. I've wondered how to scan such huge things but always messed up trying to match the edges of small scans together.

It wasn't just Macross that got me started into japanese animation. I also had fond memories of HAL's illustration style.

HAL has been around a long time and was there at the first AnimeCon (predecessor to Anime Expo). I collected laserdiscs back then and would go to cons not so much for the panels but to get a chance to have the laserdisc covers autographed. When I presented my laserdisc cover to HAL, he was quite amused and happy to see that fans here were buying those expensive things. A friend would joke to me about how it's too bad my laserdisc cover was vandalized and he would buy a fresh mint condition one to trade to me out of friendship. Of course, I preferred to keep the cover that HAL vandalized. He filled the white space on the cover with more illustrations of other chars and then signed it. So that's good.

Thank you again for the digital version. I will add it to my collection of the book and poster cards.

Hello Masayoshi,

Thank you for sharing another book of Macross. I have seen this book in the hands of a collector in the 90s, but unfortunately I could not buy a copy (at the time the bookstore said that it was sold out, and of course, to be very expensive due to the import). I'm from Brazil, and get this kind of material in the 90s was really complicated and time consuming. But thanks to you now I have. ^_^

I find this interesting for very normal reasons but I think it's cool anyway. This might have gone completely unnoticed by me.

80's artstyle and watercolor does fits each other perfectly.
