Finally... after 20+ years, ROBOTECH is back, and hopefully to stay! Harmony Gold released the first "new" Robotech animation since 1986's Robotech II: The Sentinels with an all new full featured film, "Robotech Shadow Chronicles."
Woo! I had to get it right away after work and although it has a different feeling to it, its still wetting my appetite for more! If you're a Robotech fan and haven't heard the news, this is the story following the end of the Third Robotech War when the Invid leave Earth. It recaps alot of that war and then goes on to the search for the SDF3 and Admiral Rick Hunter.
The CGI addition is a bit weird at times, and works real well other times. I think they would be better off doing all the transforming mecha in standard cell-based drawings, but it does work OK in computer 3D form.
The story answers some things that were always question marked at the end of the show, but theres plenty more question marks to think about too. Hopefully this is just the beginning of either another (set of) movie(s) or an entire new television series.
Exciting! yay!
As you can see, I am a big time ROBOTECH nerd, and this was, by far, my most favorite and memorable cartoon/anime/tv show of my childhood and early teen years. Heck, it still is.
