Gubaba Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I actually wasn't on that podcast. But yeah! I would LOVE to see those Robotech parodies. Ah well, it was a good episode anyway. the "Robotech Trilogy of Pain" (or should it be tetrology...?) was awesome all round. Anyway, it's not quite up to "Robotech III" standards, but this is pretty funny: http://www.scentinels.com/clips.html Some of it's funny, some of it's just lame, but I really, really like Minmei's voice...sounds like she's talking through a killer head cold. And again, I'd rather have this on Blu-Ray than SC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uxi Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 I might get this on Blu-ray if I see a good price ($20 or under). Extremely unlikely for more than that, though. Never saw it on SD but I don't buy SD anymore (only exception I made in the last 2 years was a the remastered SDF Macross from the RT store) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lord_breetai Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 "Khyron's Counter Attack"...? Never heard of that one...was it done by the same people who did Robotech III? Yes it was... and it's rarer because as far as they're concerned they never finished it, and only showed it once but somehow copies of it are out there. It's the last episode of Gunbuster combined with Macross II footage (and Macross II was made greyscale to match the B&W Gunbuster episode).

We should invite Tom to the website. If his departure was as acrimonious as it sounds from Khyron Prime's blog (yeah, I know...not the most reliable source of info), then I would imagine he would want to stay away from anything involving Robotech OR its component parts for a while... Although it would certainly be nice to hear him dish the dirt on HG...especially if he knows anything about their dubious legal rights to Macross sequels...

VF5SS Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Tommy Yune seems like a nice guy from what I've heard one of the Robotech podcasts he frequents. Ginrai's talked to him a few times and he loves the 80's robots. And according to Todd, the making of special for SC made it look like he really loved what he was doing. Too bad all that love was squeezed out by mediocrity and a low budget haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruskiiVFaussie Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 (edited) Blu-Ray isn't big enough to contain this amount of detail. No way, the quality is that bad??? omg.

VF5SS Posted April 24, 2008 Share Posted April 24, 2008 All i've heard about is the fan service. What fanservice? All the girls are drawn with identical character models and they all have gigantic breasts that don't move. It's about as erotic as a statue in the park. Nevermind the fact 80% of character scenes in the movie are from the waist up. It's talking heads all the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gubaba Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Tommy Yune was HERE??? What name did he go under?

TheLoneWolf Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 Now that I think of it, I think we may have run him off the website several years ago... I believe it was Steve Yun, not Tommy Yune, that used to post here around 2001. He was always very polite with us and, like Tommy, it was clear he had a true love for Macross and Robotech. IIRC, he left after Keith began flaming him after every post he made. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ginrai Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 (edited) Yeah, I really liked Tommy Yune. He's a cool guy and very knowledgeable about 80's mecha anime. I think he was just in a tough position with a small budget and having to meet a bunch of ridiculous requirements. I think the movie is okay, but I am sympathetic. It could have been a lot better if they gave him a real budget and let him do what he wanted. Basically it's fine as a TV movie, but when presented as a feature film it's ... a stretch.

Well, we were pretty militant back then, over the whole Harmony Gold mess. In the end, we still got our toys (sure, we had to import them), and VF-X2 wasn't all that great, anyway.

taksraven Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 Shadow Chronicles is OKAY, but it's nowhere near as good as Macross F. What people should be mad about is that the bleu ray disc has way more features, not that it's coming out at all. Of course it was going to come out. I liked the way in the Shadow Chronicles that the Invid (Inbit, whatever) were shown the door straight away and then the NEW BAD GUYS APPEARED INSTANTLY. You can almost hear the HG accountants and lawyers saying "Quick, get rid of the enemy and aspects of the show that we don't own completely and introduce a NEW enemy that we DO OWN completely." At that point I removed it from my DVD player never to return. Taksraven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard BW owns the licence on Southern Cross to. Maybe that's why there hasn't been any movement on a masterpiece Hovertank yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 I know that Tommy was over on the rdf-hq chat a few times, way prior to the 'incident' but he seemed cordial but never really gave out any details. I had to lol at yellow's comment, but I think it was maybe SkullOne, or did he get the boot before then? He was probably the most fundamentalist of us.

It wasn't a great time to be a Macross fan living in the US. I think things would be much different if some of those folks were around now. Well...I joined Macrossworld in...2000, I believe...? Right after I got the three Animeigo sets. But I wasn't a frequent visitor then, so I must've missed all of this. Still, in Los Angeles, I never had any trouble finding Macross merchadise (Hasegawa, that is). The late, lamented Best1 Hobby in Alhambra always had a full stock. And I got a couple of VF-1D kits from Valkyrie-Exchange at that time, too. So what's the real story? How was everyone's Macross purchasing ability affected?
