It makes me want to get a copy of Macross the First. You get the best of both worlds. Maybe when it becomes more available it could become a third option.

I blame the three I mentioned and Harmony Gold for openly supporting it.

Those kind of fans never last around here. At most they're left stalking the site making it personal like what MEMO, LSC, and doug pretty much do. Like it matters anyway, in the end they will be in the same place they've been for about 4 years now; waiting for a franchise barely showing life which they pay with their wallets to go on. Plus, they're relying on people who aren't really that talented in the first place to keep it going. Hell of a situation to openly put yourself in.

I definitely do not have enough time or money to challenge the crazier ones when it comes to showing their love. I'm just fine with my $20 Revoltech DYRL Hikaru Valkyrie, older model kits, and etc.

Macross TV for me, it's closer to the truth about the storyline than DYRL, though the designs from the movie were better. I think what really happened and how things were supposed to look like is somewhere in the middle combining the two.

His Tagalog (?) cracked me up, and damn he's ripped.

Maybe it is just an innocent get together. Like Jasonc said, not political at all.

So, could the Japanese who were involved in Robotech potentially be invited as guest to this? From the link, I'm predicting voice actors, Michael Bradley, people who worked on the novels and comics, and those in HG could be in attendance.

Maybe when the price goes down, but the online quests Sony's offering up to June caught my attention. http://kotaku.com/5489497/sony-issues-free...ight-chronicles

They could also sell the rights to someone else and keep the nightmare going for everyone.

The newscasters, of course. They could have shown a better attempt by the pole vaulter and saved him the embarrassment. That's why it appeared on The Soup.

This news story was supposed to be inspiring?

That's good in all, but over time I've learned that as people have been re-introduced to Robotech and are optimistic about the future, there's always others who have been down the same road long before, literally years, still waiting for the same thing. The response has been... mixed.

Well, she was the mother of us all between billions to twenty years ago. Forgot that it's 2010 already.

Free anime has been offered through the Playstation Store with other shows once in a while. I got an episode of Vehicle Era Voltron and Full Metal Alchemist season two a while back, both dubbed. Did anyone here get White Knight Chronicles? How is that going for people? I'm thinking about buying either that or Demon Souls.

I'd LOVE to see the talent of Carl Macek put to the test again without the help of the Japanese or McKinney to prove the same point made years ago. People need to be reminded what Carl Macek really is. And to answer a question JT once asked, "Does Harmony Gold owe the fans anything?" Yes, yes they do, with 3+ years of interest, since they released an incomplete animated production for the second time and the other franchise they supposedly have control over are clearly not listening to them.

I'm not going to judge how fans are going to celebrate it, I just think this reinforces what this year really means to the trademark holders for Robotech.

Is it really the 25th anniversary of Robotech? Was March 4th the broadcast date of the first episode? Is this milestone really significant? I couldn't really tell, since no one officially in the anime/sci-fi industry even acknowledged it (I'd like to see it if someone did). The closest were magazine and podcast interviews made well in advance with Carl Macek and a fluff piece by Electric Playground. What's alarming was the fact that only fans took that day and the proceeding days celebrating in their own ways, while Harmony Gold was pretty much silent, except for maybe a convention stop that coincided with that week. Hell of a way to show how important this day was to the company. Was there nothing to gain for them to show a little bit of pride or something? But maybe they're going to retcon their own anniversary to a bigger date and venue, like their Comic-Con or Anime Expo panel.

XIII is an unlucky number in some places. I might be done with Final Fantasy now. Twelve games seems like a good place to stop for me, especially after my copy of Dissidia really put things into perspective. I have a personal attachment with 4 of the protagonists, know about 2 of them, still have to play the games with 3 of them, having very little idea about who they were, and was just annoyed by Tidus (play-style). Heck, most of the people responsible for the franchise in the first place either left or got booted out by now.

I thought I was deconstructing the entire universe this whole time with my ramblings. This time, I just did it economically.

In hindsight, the RDF had very strange priorities after being constantly at war with whoever. Take for instance the YF-4: http://www.robotech.com/infopedia/mecha/viewmecha.php?id=60 Of course, within the production, there was a practical reason for phrasing it like that, but it still sounds like a bad choice. I don't know much about military budgets or how the future society of Robotech works, but when civilization has been devastated, your continued survival is at stake from a crapload of things in the universe, and you have acquired a functioning satellite factory to crank out stuff for a while, why is money still a limiting factor? The payoff should justify the cost. That shift in development probably cost a whole generation of humanity, which Earth couldn't use for the Masters Saga anyway, despite many other factors working against humans at the time. In turn, the Alpha became useless against the Invid until they got free technology from someone else, then got useless again from said technology and said someone else. When it comes to the preservation of the species, NEVER skimp out because it's too expensive.

It's probably better to think of all the characters, already established or originally created in the expanded universe, as either dead, never existed in the first place, or no longer relevant to the story, in the tradition of all previous characters Robotech has gone through. If people loved them, too bad. Until HG has a plan for them, they only exist in "What If" scenarios for the franchise people like, which now only exist for $$$. It makes you wish for the day when they'll make a story they start stick, let alone finish the damn thing. In other words, move on like everyone else. EDIT: Characterizations and development were established in the expanded universe? Probably doesn't count either, but they were interesting to observe, weren't they?

But, but, but, people are still waiting for Shadow Rising and Hollywood. Harmony Gold, you're regularly taking their money for inferior products anyway, throw these people a bone or something. They continue to humiliate themselves and piss people off for your benefit.

She's Kimiko-chan. http://jezebel.com/5449254/liz-lemons-thre...ese-body-pillow

I loved that episode.
