Games have long been included as extras on Blu-rays/DVDs — though the quality of said games tends to rank somewhere between the worst Facebook game and shovelware flash titles. But when Macross Frontier The Movie: The False Songstress was released on Blu-ray in Japan back in 2010, Artdink and Bandai-Namco went a few steps further to create Macross Trial Frontier.

With solid Macross games like Macross Ace Frontier out, now seems like good a time as any for some quality non-sequitur English study! In hopes of getting Macross Frontier nerds interested in the English language, we have this all too brief English study guide.
What’s better than Macross? Macross bread. What’s better than Macross bread? Macross canned bread. That’s right, bread in a can. Mmm mmm good! Going on sale this November in Akihabara’s Tokyo Anime Centre, this Macross Frontier canned bread is priced at ¥500 ($8) a pop. No doubt tastes great while playing the newly released Macross Ace Frontier for the PSP.
We’ve had our PSPs dusted off for a few weeks now in anticipation of this. Same for our emergency Japanese catchphrase guides, along with the URLs of our favourite Japanese importers. Because really, if you’re a Macross fan, how can this not already look like the best thing to happen to the PSP?
