The documentary will include cast and crew interviews, as well as pictures and anecdotes from the creation of the series and a sneak peak at the 2013 film Robotech Love Live Alive.' (I find this hilarious since the original LLA is alreasy legally available on DVD in Australia as part of the Mospeada DVD box set.)
Duke Togo Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 Stage lights, flashing, the feeling's smashing...
Darkwater Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 They're not actually showing Love Live Alive, they're showing the Carl Macek documentary that was an extra on the A+E DVD from a year and a half ago. It contains about a 3-second preview of LLA

Einherjar Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 (edited) I think this is the first time Anime News Network has ever mentioned that Love Live Alive is actually being worked on. It might also be the first time outside of Macross related news or a legality question that Robotech has been mentioned at all for a while there. Edited April 3, 2013 by Einherjar

No, the Mets actually show up to the stadium and play games. Robotech is more like..F^ck, has there ever been a property handled so badly? This may actually be beyond comparison.

taksraven Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 There is clearly no other way to see LLA!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CabB4E4qLw
Falcon01 Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 I will always be the biggest Robotech fan ever, I respect what Carl did helping to pioneer and bring anime here to america, so that being said, its time to put it out of its misery and let it die with whatever dignity harmony gold hasn't pooped on...
UN_MARINE Posted April 3, 2013 Posted April 3, 2013 So it's a Macek/Robotech documentary, where they will lovingly (dis)credit the original shows & creators? Wow... Plus a teaser for the already available, but somehow "new & unseen!" LLA. That's Robotech Progress !
BeyondTheGrave Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) I'm just going to wait for taksraven's manefesto and youtube video that involves a pie. Edited April 4, 2013 by BeyondTheGrave
Loop Posted April 4, 2013 Posted April 4, 2013 (edited) I wish BW would actually take HG to court in the US. The JP ruling is sound as far as I could tell, but they don't respect it as that only applies to Japan. Is there like an international court that could settle this once and for all if BW even wanted to pursue it? Edited April 4, 2013 by Loop
Keith Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 So... why Australia? Toilets flush the other way, and they hope that'll help their crap float better.
Vepariga Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 I'll be wandering around there...I may wander in and gaffaw and walk out.
Gubaba Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 Toilets flush the other way, and they hope that'll help their crap float better. BRAVO, sir!
taksraven Posted April 5, 2013 Posted April 5, 2013 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHA OH DEAR GOD!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=endscreen&v=dhqfdpIkXKA&NR=1 LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
derex3592 Posted April 6, 2013 Posted April 6, 2013 WHOAAA!!! Hoooooold up....how do I get my hands on that GIANT FAN LINER toy??!!! As someone who grew up watching Robotech and I have most of the toys that came out back then, I never ever remember seeing any of those in stores.... were they ever actually manufactured? Those commercials are epically bad however....good stuff

BeyondTheGrave Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Of course. Relasing the Fan racer would mean that they had the desire and intelligence to make money. It must mean they've telling us for decades they don't want to make smart business moves. Edited April 10, 2013 by BeyondTheGrave
Einherjar Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 (edited) Toilets flush the other way, and they hope that'll help their crap float better. But seriously though, it seems like it's getting harder for the property to get any kind of publicity these days. Edited April 10, 2013 by Einherjar
Dynaman Posted April 10, 2013 Posted April 10, 2013 00.43. The girl typing on what must be the world's first wireless keyboard....LOL!! That would be a PC Jr. Released around the time if I remember correctly. A friend of mine had a father that owned one, a true piece of trash. Speaking of trash brings us back to those commercials...
Keith Posted April 11, 2013 Posted April 11, 2013 But seriously though, it seems like it's getting harder for the property to get any kind of publicity these days. That would be because they didn't just miss the nostalgia wave by waiting far to long to ride it, they've drowned in the undertow.
Einherjar Posted April 24, 2013 Posted April 24, 2013 So is this being treated like a budget title now? Another press release said the whole thing could cost $20. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=39054
