ROBOBLOG III Archives: Random Robotech linkage

4.12.2007

Your random Shadow Chronicles screen grab for the day: Is that a faraway look in Scott Bernard's eyes, or is he just sleepy?

As The Masters pointed out yesterday, Harmony Gold's Kevin McKeever has been working on a secret thing, and Steve Yun is tirelessly working to put the thing on Robotech.com. I guess we'll see what it is when Steve's done.

AnimeNewsNetwork reports that AIC is celebrating the 23rd anniversary of Megazone 23 (the first part of which was adapted into Robotech The Movie: The Untold Story) with a big live event on May 13 in Tokyo. The part of it that those of us here on this side of the Pacific can appreciate is the fact that they're also cranking out a new artbook this month, the Megazone 23 Maneuver Book, and a new video game for the PlayStation 3 this summer. More details here at ANN or if you can read Japanese you can go straight to the source.

Wow, a reason to buy a PS3. Hadn't seen one of those yet.

Comic book fandom webcomic "New Book Day" encounters The Shadow Chronicles. I believe I agree with the author on the execution -- it kind of falls flat -- but hey, it's a ROBOTECH reference.

Look, it's someone else who hated The Shadow Chronicles! Hey, at least people are watching it.

And here's someone who liked it. Also, he mentions that he had to keep explaining things to friends watching with him who weren't down with the lingo -- yeah, I've had to do that twice now. I really hope Team HG didn't honestly think the final product was all that n00b friendly.

wwwmwww tracked down, scanned, and posted to Macross World's forums a text-heavy Mospeada doujinshi (fan publication). Lots of Ride Armor/Cyclone art in among the pages upon pages of Japanese text. Also a lot of neat Mospeada pics further down in the thread from magazines contemporary with the show's release. Nifty, nifty, nifty ...

Oh my God.

It is simply cool a new megazone 23 series,
Megazone 23 is what got me into anime,
I was introduced to megazone from the
the Robotech movie, and was simply
hooked and it was the first
video cassette anime I owned. It simply
amazing I have been waiting for over 20
for a new megazone 23 series or anime.

Speaking about the robotech movie it
was simply a case of laziness, they
should have been more serious about
the editing ,the robotech movie is
not bad but it was simply bad script,
poor acting.

But it is great to hear megazone 23 movie.

Mospeada cyclone are not that bad but
the garland rules and the macross plus movie
mecha design were inspired from the garland
mecha design.

In the last segment of my Carl Macek review, Tommy Yune elucidated that the Top Seekrit Kevin Thing has to do with the expanding distribution of Robotech in other world markets.
