Sadly, its only a series of ads for “Fever Macross” a new Pachinko game machine, though it should give everyone an idea on how a live-action adaptation of Macross could look like.

Upcoming samurai anime Sengoku Gyōjin Dullahan ~Kagen no Keishōsha (Dullahan: inheritor of the Crescent Moon), a re-imagining of Japan’s Sengoku period, just got itself a 90 second promo trailer showcasing the characters and the concept behind the whole show. The twist differentiating Sengoku Gyōjin Dullahan from other Sengoku era shows is having the characters wear power suits and armor instead of traditional samurai armor, essentially making it a futuristic-feudal-era anime. The 90 second trailer can be seen in their official site, in the link after the jump:
