Robotech Novels, Movies and Comics

RtSC at 7-11s

feeds@yuku.com (lord goober2) — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 20:53:31 GMT

You know a movie has hit rock bottom when it's available at a local 7-11 for $9.99. I don't own a copy myself right now and I'm debating on whether I should bother. I have seen it though.

Robotech Audio Comics/Stories?

feeds@yuku.com (manofsan) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 13:06:09 GMT

Here's an idea that I posted in the Robotech.com forum:

http://www.robotech.com/community/forum/read.php?id=2001532&forumid=23

What do you all think about that idea? Would it be worthwhile to create audio comics for the fans? Would people like them and buy them?

Lots of people have iPods or other MP3 players, and MP3s are easy enough to download,...

BSG and Robotech - Spoilers

feeds@yuku.com (Jefffar) — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 18:15:42 GMT

Watching the finale of BSG and I'm seeing more than a few elements of what I think a live action Robotech should look like - including the Daedalus Manoeuvre.

Invid War / Aftermath Discusion

feeds@yuku.com (Vestras) — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 19:15:58 GMT

Well today was a most successful expedition. Hit up a forgotten local comic shop and walked out with half of the Invid War Comic series and the VF-1R super pack high articulation figure to boot!

I'm reading through IW and I am as very impressed! It's some excellent writing,and good to see some familiar faces. Seeing the layers of Jonathan Wolffe and Carpenter is great, and the original character like Cade are very compelling as well, though the all black-and-white art style...

Antarctic Press Comics - WTH...

feeds@yuku.com (Vestras) — Mon, 19 Jan 2009 17:26:09 GMT

So having the day off from work today, I went on a bit of a scavenger hunt to track down several very distant comic book stores in an effort to get some back issues of current stuff (Runaways, Doctor Who, and others), as well as spelunk into the bins for Robotech Comics while I was at it. I partly succeded in grabbing some of what I came for. Go the Amano cover for issue 1 of Invasion, and some of the other stuff I came for.

I did find one oddity, an Antarctic Press issue of...

Interesting thought excercise: Reimagining the Clone series

feeds@yuku.com (Brooklyn Red Leg) — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 06:18:46 GMT

Ok,

after some thought, it occured to me that the Clone comic series could potentially be revamped and updated so as to be a little more palatable. Removing the obvious Macross influences would be a step in the right direction. Figure the series is set in the mid-2050's and the colonists come from Earth, Mars and Jupiter perhaps wanting to start anew somewhere away from the Earth. The interesting thing is that it doesn't have to solely be about military...

Live action and Shadow Rising updates from AX 2008

feeds@yuku.com (Darkwater) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 17:12:59 GMT

Well, saw the panel yesterday - nothing new at all really. But what I still amazes me is the spin that's still going on after all of these years. Maybe it shouldn't amaze me, I don't know.

Basically, Shadow Rising is still in limbo. Or at least that's what I got from the all of the vague answers. Honestly, I've been reading so much between the lines at these con panels for years, I filter out the spin in my head so it ends up hard for me decipher what I...

SHADOW RISING ON "HIATUS"

feeds@yuku.com (medmapguy) — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 07:00:50 GMT

You might think this is another horrible prank. But I sort of wish I wasn't joking. Straight from MEMO1DOMINION himself, Robotech: The Shadow Rising, is officially placed on "hiatus":

Funding for Shadow Rising...Funimation - OUT!

feeds@yuku.com (Darkwater) — Mon, 21 Jan 2008 23:46:49 GMT

Well, the latest Tommy interview seems to imply Funimation is NOT involved with funding for Shadow Rising. We all kind of knew that, but now its confirmed, I guess. It's too bad, too, because I was kind of hoping an experienced company like Funimation would be able to take the reigns the project and something in timely fashion. And from the looks of it, not even a distribution deal is set up, so if Funimation falls through we could be back to a year long wait of actually seeing it...

Shadow Chronicles Collector Edition Disc - First Look

feeds@yuku.com (Robotech Master) — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 18:16:54 GMT

I just received the Shadow Chronicles collector edition disc set. I haven't had the chance to watch any of it yet, but the packaging is quite nice.

The disc case is transparent, and is in a transparent slipcover that has the logos on the front and the blurbage on the back printed on it, so when you slide it off you get to see the artwork unobstructed. Inside, the discs are nested in a sort of figure-8-shaped nook, with the first disc on top and covering about a third of the lower disc....

Just realized...

feeds@yuku.com (Alpha 11) — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 16:27:56 GMT

... how bad the battles sequences were in Shadow Chronicles. I had just watched Apple Seed again and it downed on me that the battle sequences were way better. I really hope they pick it up a notch for the next movie. I really, REALLY, hope that they do.

I happen to have been contacted by a person claiming to have made acquaintances with Steve Yun and Tommy Yune over the course of the last year or so, and he contacted me with no simpler purpose than this:

Cel-Shading & Other Techniques

feeds@yuku.com (manofsan) — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 18:44:17 GMT

Hmm, I dunno how much this has been discussed before here, but I wanted to ask about the use of 3D cel-shading for making Robotech/anime stuff.

I know a lot of people dislike cel-shading, but I think the level of acceptance would depend upon how skillfully it's done. As with any artwork, some people do it better than others.

3D cel-shaded stuff tends to stick out due to the perfectly rigid way it moves geometry. I was thinking that one of the better ways to use it, is to render...

Simple Approaches

feeds@yuku.com (Khyron Prime) — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 22:02:27 GMT

I could rationalise this into a whole thesis or more, but it's just an idea for how to make Robotech work.

I've been reading some new, post-2000 comic books of G.I. Joe tonight, and have been amazed by how much I remember. Basically, it's part of my history, my childhood, something that forged my understandings of right and wrong, something that gave me, in some way, feelings toward how the world works. The comic books are wonderful; they have enjoyable characters, great scenes, and...

FUNimation NOT financing TSC sequell(all the peaces)
