Oh man, oh man, oh man.

Excuse me for a second while I ramble on about totally irrelevant (to kdrama) things for a second.

My heart just stopped for a second reading that apparently a major Hollywood-ified Robotech film is in the works with the possible intent of being transformed into a live-action franchise. Holy crap!

Words cannot express the extent of my infatuation with the animated series when I was in grade school. I’m not really into anime, and I was only ever a fan of it for a few years in elementary and junior high school — but those are pretty formative years, so I’ll always have a fond spot in my heart for it. And for ROBOTECH (and its Japanese originator, the MACROSS franchise), which was the first anything that I was ever a fan of. Sure, I casually liked Transformers and Voltron (really just ’cause of the pretty pink-wearing blonde princess, before I was old enough to learn those things are eeevil! and damaging!)…

But Robotech…

 
(Robotech Theme) SONG OF THE DAY

Robotech Main Theme. I’m pretty sure none of the songs in this post will appeal to you if you’ve never been a fan of the Macross/Robotech franchise, but if you were… Ah, the nostalgia.
