  1. And...

    UPDATE #21: AN OVERVIEW WITH GREG SNEGOFF

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnEbrQzZXxw#t=37

    -A cast of characters on a lone ship searching for a certain person. Check.

    -A female ace and a prodigy. Check.

    -return of old familiar characters. Check.

    -A mcguffin object and a mysterious alien who wants it back. Check.

    -OMFGWTFBBQ!! Rick Hunter is back! Check.

    Yup, Academy is totally not a rehash of TSC.

  2. Valkyrie Addict, I thought you were going to pull a Brokeback Airforce on Macross Plus:P. For Macross Frontier, Sheryl would have to be a cybernetic augmented pilot. Athough, the problem with Ranka is that she's still a minor and Ozma would be against her joining either SMS or NUNS. Alto could pull a Lancer/Yellow Dancer though.

  3. Uh huh, sure it is. Although it's been what, 4-5 years? That's enough time for a non-compete embargo to end if indeed WB made HG sign one.

    I guess that means they no longer have an excuse to keep Shadow Rising's production hanging anymore. Also, wasn't it announced in one of their convention tours way back, that the animation for SR was already completed? If we take it as true, then SR may get released as early as 2014. Just in time for Robotech's 30th Anniversary in 2015.

  4. Yeah, in a nutshell, you're right. BigWest is part of an antiquated method of doing business in the anime industry where creators (Studio Nue, in the case of Macross) used to go to different agencies to sell their projects and get their material on the air. Nowadays there is the "production committee system" where creators team up with manufacturers, broadcasters and publishers etc, to get a cross-media IP up and running.

    Both HG and BW have a stranglehold on their respective franchises.

    The main difference is that HG tries to handle the creative stuff in-house, whereas they should really contract actual professional creative teams to plan their works, and then contract animation houses, etc. They skip the middle and most important part, and go straight from writing their own fanfics to getting them cheaply animated.

    It makes me wonder why HG didn't approach Tatsunko for all the creative works and animation for Shadow Chronicles. They are partners after all. Plus, they're using Mospeada, which is owned by Tatsunoko, as the backbone for TSC.

  5. I don't get the CD "single" thing either, but it seems to just be a gimmick to get people to buy the calendar. They should ask Michael Bradley if they could use his new versions of the songs....oh wait, they only screw people over, nevermind.

    And the Robotech calendar isn't even worth it to buy since they're just reusing Tommy Yune's old artworks. The fans are better off buying a normal calendar.
