Robotech

Holy Poop on a stick...

Remember this Japanimation classic? My all time favorite anyway. Well, they have finally made a video game based on it. It is available on all 3 platforms and is a cell shaded game. Basically, it is the firggin' cartoon you're playing.

Check out the link below, it has a story with beaucoup pics and movies.

Here's a couple of screenies:

And remember, these are not final game shots. The movies look even better. And the movies are from X-box but are identical to GC.

Before it was Anime, it was Japanimation you n00b! Only after the phenomenal success of Robotech did others rush in and create the genre of anime.

:p

you got that right...i had the whole series on vhs at one point...man, i hate it but my mom threw all the tapes out when i moved out of the house...i still have one or two tapes around somewhere though...

robotech kicked @ss and it is by far the best series to every come out of Japan IMHO...

man it is good to know that someone else remembers the classics Dirge...and i just may have to get me a console to play it on too...

bet you could find episodes on kazaa :)

[LA_MERC_Mercy]

yep...i have watched almost all of them, and i do find that some of them are good, but none of them can really exceed the Robotech series...hell there for a while i collected the manga comic about Robotech:Sentiels...damn i wish they would have made the tv shows like they were supposed to...another 175 epsiodes was planned and then they scraped them...doh...

also on the kaazaa, you can find partial episodes, there are not many whole episodes to be had...well at least not in english or japanese with subs...most are in spanish...

If anyone is interested, I think I can still dig up my Robotech novels. I had all 12 (I think) of the TV series and the Sentinel series (really good, advanced Sci-fi).

hey i would love to give them a read Dirge...any way i could get a couple from you?

[LA_MERC_Dirge]

Yeah, lemme find 'em. They're either here in NOLA or at my parent's in SHV. I'll find 'em.

LMAO Omega these guys were around lightyears before the Transformers. I'm pretty certain they were the inspiration for the Transformers. These came out in the late 70's aboutish I think.

first come out in 1977 i think...that was about 10 yrs prior to transformers
