So is he promoting the Four Kids Entertainment mentality for handling anime, for profit?

That's believable, considering the time factor. Of course a show that came out 25 years ago would outsell another show that came out in the 90's, especially with the amount of merchandise of varying quality that's been released under the Robotech name (and many duplicates people couldn't get enough of). It also helps when HG openly blocks out access to official Macross products to artificially inflate those numbers. And beyond the quality of the ADV dub, were they really necessary at the time when the Animeigo DVDs came out earlier? That's ADV and HG thinking over saturating the anime market with many versions of Robotech and Macross was a good idea. Expect more talk like that from him throughout the year.

Just a little nick pick, I wish the amount of content in games these days were bigger. Either I've played too many games or modern games are getting shorter to get through the first time. Oh, and

No one in the Robotech universe is scared of snipers, maybe?

That would make Tommy Yune their token talented guy then.

That would be giving them too much credit. They're all just businessmen, after all.

I understand where you're going, but does that even matter at this point? HG wins either way, because people who look at it in that way, or any obscure or long winded way that rationalizes fluidity in the Robotech universe, raise it's credibility as something beyond three shows edited together. The difference is that HG doesn't have to do more work filling in the gaps to get audiences to believe it, fans do it for them. The illusion remains and HG maintains an audience to bait into believing, and buying, anything. As if stuff like integrity, morality, and creativity matter to these people anymore. HG just needs people to believe in their work and the Robotech label, nothing more.

Sounds like ongoing creative interpretations and assumptions to make Robotech, not Southern Cross since following the variable fighter scheme with the Shrewfield was probably not their original intent, appear more consistent between the shows than they really were. I don't blame him, it's HG's fault.

And humanity never attempted to colonize other planets outside our solar system because of the Sentinel's campaign (in both the novel and mysterious Tommy Yune version)?

Wait, so how big is the current Robotech universe anyway? Almost everything important seems to take place within our solar system and other vaguely described regions of the universe. But then there's the novels with Tirol, Optera and etc. Are there official maps to use for reference?

"(insert name of random inanimate object or person)... OF DOOM!!!"

Where is that from, the Palladium RPG?

Is that not the reason why the proposed LAM exists? It's already considered to be a non-official multiverse, if only because of questionable decisions.

That's the beauty of cliffhangers, isn't it? Whether fans like it or not, HG's forcing them to wait for the next installment to resolve long overdue plot threads. They're treating Robotech like a comic book; there are no endings except when people who are not Zor or Rem die or become irrelevant to the story.

Yeah, the Protoculture Times started talking about the novels, as well as highlighting some very surprising quotes from the first couple of books so far.

Hmm, I'll go a little bit further then; the Robotech Macross Saga novels and the SDF Macross Novels. Does anyone know how the quality fares between them?

Wow, they're not even trying.

It might be just a coincidence. http://74.125.155.132/search?q=cache:FTSfp...lient=firefox-a

It's probably connected to the 25th Anniversary of Robotech in some way (shameless plug of it?). It IS going to be his year to shine, if HG actually has plans for it. For all the good Robotech may or may not had in bringing Japanese anime to the U.S. and the world, it's ironic that it's also been actively keeping one out. It's always at the expense of Macross. So thanks Carl, for creating a lot of disenfranchised fans to make way for your epic and keeping it timeless.

It still looks too expensive for HG to ever get their hands on.

Didn't E-Frame pilots have a brain jack slot surgically implanted on the back of their head/neck that connected directly to the mech when in use?

It makes learning how to fly an already complicated piece of equipment a superhero feat with the addition of a thinking cap.
