Robotech On DVD, Ghost in the Shell 2

Gendou_Knepper writes: "The ancient and beloved proto-anime classic, Robotech, is being brought to DVD by AD Vision at only $15 per six-episode disc. Check out the article at the new official site. On a side note, the original Japanese version, Macross, is being brought to us by the wonderful folks at Animeigo." Now if only someone would do the same for Starblazers (in Region 1 anyway)... also interesting, moonboy submitted an AICN story linking to info about Ghost in the Shell 2 .

Carl Macek?

"Here lies Carl Macek, died while trying to make a Robotech video. Man, he must have really f***ed up."

Not sure where that's from, but it seemed appropriate. =)

Most non-otaku don't realize that Robotech was three series: Superdimensional Fortress Macross, Superdimensional Cavalry Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber Mospeada. All were done by the same animation house, but Macross and Southern Cross were actually designed by the same guy. He also did a third "Superdimensional" series, Orguss, which is also out on tape. (Makes you wonder why Macek just didn't pick up all three of the Superdim. series and glom THEM together. We should count ourselves lucky....)

GITS hold the record!

The record for Most Gratuitous Tit Shots in a movie not ostensibly about tits.

I mean really! Every ten seconds, guns are blazing, tits are flying, and someone's head comes off.

Well, at least the tits part.
