  1. You should give it a try Gubaba... the name of his fanfic is Macross Chatarra (chatarra can be translated into Junk or scrap). Now, as far as discrepancies go between Seto's screenshot and the publications... didn't Kawamori stated in the 2nd edition of Macross Chronicle that no Macross series represent the "official" setting or history of the Macross universe?? IIRC, Macross frontier shows the first contact between Zentradi and humans in a very DYRL fashion, does that mean that the first contact between humans and Zentradi never happened the way it was depicted in SDF Macross TVA? And if you wanna see drama about the SDF-3 subject, you should see how much it brought into Comunidad Macross Robotech in facebook... people really lost it over there.
  2. It's amazing! This new set really is nice... even thou is a little bit out of my reach right now (I committed my money in the DYRL BD hybrid Pack ) The more I look into the pachinko animation, the more I get the impression that a re-make is not that far away. Does anybody know who did the characters of the new pachinko animation?
  3. Thank you Exo for this info. I wanted to know who created this. I sure hope Ron makes more vids like this one. And i'm all for for pics of his dioramas
  4. I friend of mine from Chile passed me this awesome youtube video Your thoughts?!
  5. You tell me, all I know for a fact is that too much credit is given to him. Like I said, way to go in keeping the torch of "adapting" other's people work" alive I bet that if you ask, some Robotech fan's will tell you that this adaptation is an improvement over the original work
  6. But, but Greg Snegoff said that the original dialogue sucked Are you trying to imply that there are Robotech fan's out there that take your translations and, ahem, adapt it "a la Carl Macek" into the Robotech universe? Talk about keeping the torch alive. In a more serious note, I sure appreciate your efforts in translating this Macross material and it's a dame shame that people out there just go in and take it without giving you proper credit
  7. Well, Robotech was a success back in its day. But quite frankly, do you expect something that is based on some one else's work to stay relevant after its initial charm wears off? Robotech was not produced by artists like Kawamori, Tomino or Miyazaki. It was produced by some one who was somewhat familiar and knew of the potential of the original source material (Carl Macek) and backed up by a company that was itching to unload some of their imported material in TV syndication (HG). Carl Macek didn't steal as he had a license to distribute SDF Macross as he saw fit. The thing that I never really understood from him was why he thought that his work was actually better. I can see how RLLA is close to the spirit of the 85 TV series (taking some one else's work, adapt it and release it with a different label) but outside of the loyal Robotech fans, I don't see how this new production will bring new, fresh consumers/viewers in to the franchise. If it sells gangbusters, maybe we will see a RLLA 2 with Flashback's animation
  8. My wife loves this commercial!!! Its funny thou, when I have conversations with my co-workers about cartoons from the 80's, Robotech always seem to be absent from that conversation.
  9. Yes, it is in the booklet that came in the soundtrack but looking thru my Macross and Robotech VHS tapes I realized that this same picture was used for the cover of Robotech Perfect Collection (Macross) Vol 3 which was released by Streamline Pictures in 1994. I also went thru some of my Macross books and was unable to find if this image was originally produced by the Studio Nue/Artland staff. Maybe it was something that was commissioned by Carl during the time that he was with Streamline Pictures. Since Tom Bateman worked in the production of the 10th anniversary CD, maybe he can shed some light as to who the author is...
  10. This is no Tommy Yune art IIRC the first time I saw this picture was in the Robotech 10th anniversary soundtrack.
  11. Good try Darkwater but we all know the real money maker is in the luggage tags http://www.robotech.com/store/viewproduct.php?id=302
  12. The Sentinels title theme was first released in the french EP of Robotech the Movie and then released in the LP produced in Argentina.
  13. Thank you for clearing that up. You know how HG works (they call LLA new when in reality, it is not new). The tracks themselves are not being released for the first time rather, they are being released for the first time to fans in the west and in CD format.
  14. I actually got mine delivered apparently on thursday (I say apparently since I didn't notice until yesterday that I had the package waiting at my front door and I never got a confirmation email nor my credit card has been charged) I got to admit, the work done in remastering the track is actually very good. When you compare the normal version of we will win of past soundtracks, you can tell that a lot of effort was put on this work. For once, I applaud HG for their effort, I wish they would do work like this more often. About the content itself, I was amazed to find out that I had the "third verse" of we will win all this time. I remember downloading it from a site called unspacy database. IIRC, this third verse was part of the robotech.com beta in some way (I cant confirm this since I didn't join that website until 2003). I remeber posting a link to this mp3 in robotech.com. Juan from robotechespanol posted a AMV of Robotech with this third verse and he was claiming that he got it from some insider Actually, this is not the first time that this song comes out in an official product If you check the pic below, the first LP from left to right was released back in 1987 (even before the official US Robotech soundtrack) in France. This LP has The Way to Love sung by Rebecca Forstadt and it also has The Flower of Life sung by Joanne Harris. Regards
