I just covered this over on our newly relaunched anime site,
AnimeMojo.com, but I thought I would post it here as I'm sure there are a lot of users that watched this show growing up as I did!
Sony dropped a press release this morning announcing that their free streaming network Crackle was adding a new genre channel Crackle Anime and that the popular '80s anime series Robotech will be anchoring it, as well as the animated feature film
Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles.
To get the dates and details, as well as the update on the live-action theatrical release of Robotech (which isn't a lot), head over to
AnimeMojo.com! In the mean time, we have the new trailer that Crackle released today which acts as an introduction to the entire three generation franchise.
Originally released in 1985, Robotech is a sweeping science-fiction anime epic in which the human race finds itself on the brink of annihilation and under attack by a fleet of gigantic alien warships capable of destroying the Earth in a split second. Their only hope for survival lies within the secrets of Robotechnology, which allows humans to develop powerful transforming robotic systems and interstellar spacecraft. The critically-acclaimed U.S. TV series follows three generations of heroic characters who adapt this robotic technology from a crashed alien starship to defend against numerous alien invasions.
About The Author:
ComicBookMovie.com and Best Little Sites was the brainchild of Nate and a friend way back in 2002. Nate initially focused on the back-end programming and front-end design, but now manages the company and its associated sites as well, with a LOT of help from some very talented contributors.
Nate has loved comics from a very young age and continues to read them on a regular basis thanks to subscriptions to various titles (both Marvel and DC). He also loves movies, as his wife and children will attest. He's not overly critical of movies, so his reviews should be taken with a grain of salt as he's much more interested in being entertained and escaping the "real" world for a couple of hours than finding every conceivable plot-hole and character flaw in a film.
Outside of his guilty "nerdy" pleasures, Nate enjoys spending time with his wife and three boys, CrossFit, playing guitar, coaching youth sports and MMA (he spent a couple of years in the cage as an NHB fighter, but is now MUCH too old).
