Robotech: Shadow Chronicles

Post by ianstead »

Anyone seen this?

I watched it. Its very good. Bit of traditional cell Anime and CGI. Big guns, big mecha, pretty anime babes, big booms! Big fleets! Had a bit of cash given to me for my birthday.

Robotech wasn;t as massive over here than over the pond. I got into to because of the Paladium RPG (I did a Rifts meets Robotech game at one point)
I do have the Macross saga complete, Just still slowly watching it. £10 for 36 (?) episodes, it was a lucky buy. A miss labeling in the store! And it scanned as £10 too! Its now on at £18 !

I thought it was a nice conclusion to the ill fated Sentinels Series and merging of the Robotech: Odessy idea with the end of the New Generation Series. Nicely done all around. I cannot wait for the next DVD release.

I thought it was a good movie. I wouldn't mind seeing more from this universe. :)

I haven't seen it but there was a Macross series out in 2008 I've only saw 1 episode of that though, very CGI.

I just went back to rewatch some classic Robotech myself. Veritech for the win.

Shadow Chronicles was okay from what I remember though there were a few too may very well endowed women in it for my tastes. Seemed like it's going for the low-hanging fruit.

Don't know if anything ever came after that?

The way I remember it production slowed quite a bit after that on the license because Hollywood has been trying to get the live action Robotech reboot made for awhile now. There may be something out there these days because no one could make the Hollywood version work.
