Maybe next year, if possible.

Will the failure of the Live-Action Speed Racer film rock the future of other anime-to-silver screen films like Robotech?

Future of Anime Remains Bright Despite 'Speed Racer' Failure

I don't care what those jerks think negitively(sp) of the live-action Speed Racer film, for I yet to see, but I won't allow something like that to damper the spirits of forthcoming films such as Akira, Battle Angel Alita, and even Robotech.

Robotech Union of China needs your help

On May 12, 2008, a massive 7.9 earthquake rocked China, killing over 7,600 people. Robotech Union of China has donated 2,000 RMD yuan, or $300 US Dollars, to the victims of the Sichuan Earthquake in China through Chinese Red Cross Foundation, and another 500 RMB yuan (USD$75) to the victims of Myanmar Cyclone Nargis, through International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies.

The difference in the size of the Robotech: Shadow Chronicles sourcebooks

Size matters not. Look at me. Judge me by my size, do you?

With the recent success of the manga-sized copy of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles, Palladium has recently announced that that an 8.5 by 11 inch hardcover version of the aforementioned sourcebook will be released later this summer to go along with the updated Macross and Southern Cross sourcebooks as well. No word on an updated Mospeada/New Generation sourcebook, but I hope that Palladium will be working on that and have it released sometime next year or sooner.

I happen to be the lucky owner of a hardcover Palladium sourcebook: Rifts: Ultimate Edition, and with the given information of additional material for the HC version of the RT:SC sourcebook such as additional spacecraft, more equipment and vehicles, and more data and material, this will be the must buy sourcebook of the summer.

Rhapsody in Blu-Ray

Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles coming soon to Blu-Ray.

Now with Blu-Ray DVDs being the victor over HD-DVD, Robotech fans can rejoice by the news with FUNimation releasing Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles on Blu-Ray on 9/2/2008 for an MSRP of $39.98.

If you don't have either a Blu-Ray player or a Playstation 3, and you happen to be a dyed-in-the-wool Robotech fan, then go out and purchase one or the other right away.
