Tochiro Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-04-02/makoto-shinkai-hosts-the-garden-of-words-world-premiere-in-australia 'Additionally, the festival will screen a documentary about the Robotech franchise titled Carl Macek's Robotech Universe. 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.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkwater Posted April 3, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einherjar Posted April 3, 2013 Share 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.

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.

Falcon01 Posted April 3, 2013 Share 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 Share 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 ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loop Posted April 4, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeyondTheGrave Posted April 10, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Einherjar Posted April 24, 2013 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
