kelccm Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 This is great news! One of my all time childhood favourite anime series. I even have both American version and Japanese version of all 3 generations. ;D
kelccm Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 My memory reminds me of: a) Macross b) Mospeada c) Southern Cross anymore to add on? ;D Just found out that a 4th generation series was created last year. Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles http://www.theshadowchronicles.com/trailer.php
warmasterhorus11 Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 Somehow I find those English dubbed Japanese animation / cartoon juz lack those "human touch"... :-\ Apologise for the typo-error earlier :P
kelccm Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 Showhow I find those English dubbed Japanese animation / cartoon juz lack those "human touch"... :-\ Maybe it was lost in translation ;)
zamus_aran Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 Showhow I find those English dubbed Japanese animation / cartoon juz lack those "human touch"... :-\ Agreed. The English voice acting is rather dull and wooden. I'd rather watch the anime with its Japanese voice acting and English subtitles. Anyway, great to see Robotech coming back on screen. The anime was famous for its trademark sequence of multiple missiles flying all over the place only to hit one target. Macross was memorable for its Nintendo games too. Don't know if anybody played the Famicom one where you control the robot in three forms while flying and shooting horizontally? The background music was the Lin Minmay song 'Xiao Bailong' (Little White Dragon). The Super Famicom one was another classic where you can choose between the 3 main characters: Rick Hunter (forgot his Japanese version name), Max and Max's wife (the alien who shrunk herself to infiltrate the humans but ended up falling in love with Max).
kelccm Posted September 17, 2007 Posted September 17, 2007 Is the Famicom version similar to the arcade version?? I remember playing in the arcades where you can change to all 3 mode for different kind of attacks.
Deimos Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 that would be "Itano Circus" ;D but macross made it famous not robotech :P Anyway, great to see Robotech coming back on screen.

Never played the arcade version, but both version should be similiar as what you described about the 3 modes and attacks.
zamus_aran Posted September 18, 2007 Posted September 18, 2007 that would be "Itano Circus" ;D but macross made it famous not robotech :P Ah yeah, sorry. Should be Macross, but Mospeada has this Itano Circus thingy too.
kelccm Posted October 8, 2007 Posted October 8, 2007 Found R1 DVD of ''The Shadow Chronicles'' @ CCK LASER FAIR shop, but didnt buy it as it is in dubbed in English. :-\ I think the 4th generation was created by the Americans, so the original language should be in English. Don't think there will be a Japanese version.
