    No, I didn't even get to see Renato's panel. I was manning the Satelight booth virtually the whole time.

    Funnily enough, I ran into Tony Oliver on the exhibit floor while HG's panel was going on elsewhere.

    Exactly. In addition, he's the co-creator of Oban Sar Racers and Basquash, and he's done an amazing amount of really excellent design work for such shows as Aquarion EVOL, AKB0048, Symphogear, and Space Dandy.

    I guess. I'm not sure myself, honestly. I just found it and after staring at it for nearly an hour, realized there was a person cleverly hidden in the pic.

    I dunno... Looks pretty convincing to me...

    There's a great bit in Part 2 (at 18:40) that @gwyncampbell tweeted about, where Tommy said that "research done by Lionsgate" indicated that nobody wanted the original Macross and that everyone just wanted Robotech, or, as Gwyn summarized it, "HG: No one wants Macross." This caused Kevin McKeever to seriously lose it, and he posted seven tweets in quick succession, telling Gwyn to retract his statement because it wasn't true and didn't happen. Then Maverick LSC chimed in, saying that Gwyn's statement was "libelous ;-) "... No, I don't know what the wink is meant to mean either. Anyway, it was a fun couple of hours.

    The disguise apparently works, though. In a Macross Facebook group I'm in, a screenshot from that scene led one guy to ask, "Who's that girl? Is this still Macross?"

    So I spent the past four days working for the Satelight booth at Anime Expo. Everyone was very careful not to refer to the show as anything other than "the new Macross" or "the next Macross" (i.e. We still don't know what it's called, and maybe they don't, either), and the standard answer when anyone asked about the series was, "We're working on it now." Thomas Romain confirmed that he's working on it, but I think we already knew that.

    That article is actually pretty much entirely wrong.

    ???Well, *I* sure wasn't... I was just saying they exemplify your equation of poor story + striking visuals.

    The target audience for Zero WAS adults. The OVAs are for the established fan base, the TV shows are there primarily to build a newer fan base. Just like Gundam.And I don't know that your universal truth is that universal... Unless you think Michael Bay makes finely crafted stories.
  12. Gubaba
    Yeah... Remember the last Macross OVA series...? it didn't sell very well. Also, not to get too in-depth, but I find the notion that adults can't relate to stories about adolescents baffling. I mean, I used to be an adolescent. I remember it relatively clearly, so I can relate to stories about others going through adolescence. It sure is a hell of lot closer to my actual life than living on a spaceship and being a robot pilot is.

    And yet... Plus is probably the most angst-y Macross to date...Again, the new series is going to be on television. That means it's got a target audience of junior high and high school age kids,and the characters will reflect that.
  14. Gubaba
    That's pretty much entirely wrong, Skullmilitia... HG has the Macross name fair and square.
  15. Gubaba
    That's not Yot-chan's dad. His parents appear in episode 2.
  16. Gubaba
    Well, you could always do what it seems like a lot of Robotech fans do: write "realistic" fanfic and pretend that it's the show...
  17. Gubaba
    Um... I still haven't finished it yet...
  18. Gubaba
    The actual reason is that they used all the funding they got and ended up with only five songs. It was a while before they got to make more. Is that demoralizing...?
  19. Gubaba
    It's from a doujin that Tochiro bought.
  20. Gubaba
    You mean Elle? Nothing bad happened there...
  21. Gubaba
    Well... and then, as Renato pointed out elsewhere, the Ultra Fire liner notes state that Basara returned to Macross 7 a few months after the end of Dynamite 7. so who knows?
  22. Gubaba
    And, as I said before, we don't want a teaser episode, because that means the show will be delayed, mostly likely. Again, that's the only reason (as far as I know) that they showed a preview ep. of Frontier.
  23. Gubaba
    I think the show was initially meant to debut in Fall 2007, and they had to push it back to Spring 2008, so the Deculture Editon was put together as a teaser. So yeah, if we get a preview episode this time around, it'll be because the show isn't ready yet, and is being delayed.
  24. Gubaba
    "Early next year" isn't Christmas, though...
  25. Gubaba
    The new Macross series is (probably) coming at the beginning of next year. I think that's the biggest news from yesterday.
