| pokoko said: I had a discussion at work today that left me somewhat rattled. I was speaking with a co-worker, one who is also into gaming. It went something like this:
poko: "Oh, yeah, did you hear? They're planning on making a Robotech movie." co-worker: "Robotech?" poko: "Uh. Yeah, you know ... Robotech. Macross." co-worker: "What's that?"
At this point, I was totally confuzzled. The possibility of that kind of response never entered my mind. I said something out of desperation that I really did not want to say.
poko: "Yeah, with the ... the fighter planes that turn into robots. Like ... like Gundam." co-worker: "Oh, okay! Well, if it's like Gundam, it might be alright, then."
It just totally popped my bubble. Freakin' Macross! Not that I blame him, I guess Robotech never got big in the US. Still, though, I used to read the novels and the story is so awesome. I guess it's not nearly as big a deal as I thought. |
Thats kinda sad. Macross was great. Granted, i never watched the middle saga, sentradi..um meltradi...um..yeah, whatever... due to not having access to it. The invid saga was, how shall i put it, kinda meh.
Well, anyways, macross was 1 of the 1st animes i watched..hated lin ming may or maria lin..come to think of it, my memory if it is split. This one episode where 1 of rick hunters team dies...
Spoilers spoilers and spoilers
i originally remembered the scene as him running, then changing to jerwalk mode or was in mide fighter transformation and gets caught in explosion. The other memory was him already in fighter mode and getting caught in explossion...ah... im really getting old.
