Oh no, back into Robotech

Robotech PosterSo recently they released The Shadow Chronicles on DVD, which is basically a feature-length continuation of the old Robotech series which a lot of anime fans came to know and love/hate back in the 80’s. The DVD’s actually pretty good, and does require that the viewer be familiar with the Robotech series.

Anyway, now I’ve been re-bitten by the bug, and I ended up going to Amazon and bought the Protoculture Collection box set. The price is actually pretty reasonable considering you’re getting all three series’ plus another 7 discs of extras. It’s mind-blowingly comprehensive.

For those who’ve never seen the series, it’s pretty epic. Even though it’s an anime, it had some very mature concepts at the time for a cartoon, including deaths of main characters, worldwide destruction and death, intergalactic war, love triangles, you name it. The animation’s a bit dated now but generally still holds up even though this is a 20 year old series.

Maybe later I’ll post some unboxing pics of the set. 🙂

No WDA this week?

I know, I know. It was a silly weekend, and I didn’t get a chance to get one done. Besides which, my PC is on its last legs, so running Photoshop is a bit of a craps shoot. So an upgrade is due (well long overdue really), and should be happening very soon.

Finally. I’ve been tootling along with this my 1.7GHz P4 for far far faaaaar too long
