Oh why do they keep making Robotech stuff from the end of the series? The first part of the series (Macross Saga) is the part that most people like best...

I wish it would go away, there's no reason for anyone to watch Robotech when Macross, Mospeada, and Southern Cross are available. Are the only hangers-on people who watched it before Macross was available in its original form, is the fanbase at all growing or just staying level?
Given that Love Live Alive is a music video compilation of Mospeada (much like Flash Back 2012), it's not like this is a new project or anything. Or did they animate something new, do it exactly the same as this compilation OVA, and name it the same same thing minus the commas? It's absolutely false advertising to call it ALL-NEW when it's getting on 28 years old. Perhaps call it "never before seen; newly available; never before released"? But I'd rather see it sold as Mospeada and not a Robotech edit even if Mospeada is a rather forgettable series. I'd hate the same thing happen to Flash Back 2012 sometime in the future, although that continuity wouldn't make sense given the Robotech timeline.
And I'm positive most anime fans prefer it as SDF Macross and not the Robotech edit. |

At this point, it's no longer a matter of Robotech's quality, it's a matter of, "Why bother?" There can't seriously be any money left in Robotech for Harmony Gold in 2013.
EDIT: Yeah, I know Robotech is on Netflix now, but my point still stands. There's nothing sadder than a washed-out franchise. |

Harmony Gold will never produce anything directly based on Macross due to the massive array of legal problems associated with the Macross license; all Harmony Gold have access to is the 36 episodes of the original series, and in basic terms they would have to go through Big West (who aren't interested), to do anything else that used the same designs, etc. That's part of the reason why the final Macross production to ever be legally licensed in English was Macross Plus: The Movie, back in 1997. |
