VERBICIDEMAGIZINE.COM REVIEW OF ROBOTECH: LOVE LIVE ALIVE!

VerbicideMagazine.com has posted a review of Robotech: Love Live Alive and here is an excerpt.

Instead of just rehashing the experience, the producers dress Love Live Alive as a retelling of the story through Lancer’s eyes by way of an interview he gives to a reporter just before one of his grand concerts. Seeing the events through his perspective gives the story a new life, even if you religiously watched every episode of the Third Robotech War over and over again. We see how Bernard’s team find each other and ultimately fight and defeat the Invid, which is chronologically followed by The Shadow Chronicles.

2SHOTSOFGEEK.COM REVIEW OF ROBOTECH: LOVE LIVE ALIVE

2ShotsOfGeek.com has posted a review of Robotech: Love Live Alive and here is an excerpt.

Everything is just spot on. The new soundtracks while familiar add a layer of freshness that builds the atmosphere. The Voice acting and the return of the narrator were near perfect. The animation felt natural and blended the new and old quite well, with only a few transitions that felt too sudden. In one concert scene towards the end, we get some strobe effects that are a tad bit too intense. While it fits the scene, it could pose an issue for someone sensitive to seizures. The second half of the film was the strong point, still a very enjoyable film from start to finish.

NERDIST.COM INTERVIEW WITH ROBOTECH VOICE ACTOR BARBARA GOODSON

Nerdist.com at down for a short talk with Barbara about about returning to Robotech and her life as a voice actress. Here is an excerpt.

N: You’re reprising your role as Sera in Robotech: Love Live Alive, which you’ve played several times in the series itself, video releases and video games. What’s it like to return to such a familiar character? Was it easy to get right back into the role?

BG: I had to listen to the way I sounded. I was a little worried because it was 28 years ago. I wanted to make sure I could get the same quality, and sure enough, Greg Snegoff said, “Yeah, that’s it. You nailed it.” I remember the personality of her; I just wanted to make sure I was in the right sound area again, and not have them have to tweak me up or something.

FIGURES.COM COVERAGE OF THE ROBOTECH SDCC PANEL

Figures.com has posted its coverage of our San Diego Comic-Con panel and here is an excerpt.

I asked Svea about Love Live Alive, and what she thought was special about the project. It was the brainchild of her late husband and creator of Robotech, Carl Macek, who developed the story and adapted the original Japanese OVA. “It’s Lancer’s story, and it adds another level to the overall story. During war artists, like Lancer, have to adapt.” Macek is consistently impressed with the loyal fans, and looks forward to more Robotech coming soon. Her other current projects include illustrating a children’s book called “Cha Cha the Indoor Cat,” costuming work, and revitalizing other projects Carl began. Steve similarly described LLA as “fulfilling an old desire” on the part of Carl, who was eager to bring back the characters from the OVA. He described it as an “expansion with a retrospective on the New Generation summarizing some of the best parts.”

FIGURES.COM REVIEW OF ROBOTECH: LOVE LIVE ALIVE!

Figures.com has posted a full review of the new animated feature Robotech: Love Live Alive.

The main event here is, of course, Love Live Alive. Like the original Robotech series itself, this film is an interesting conglomeration of re-cut original Japanese footage, American storytelling, and more (in this case several scenes of all new animation). The series on which Carl Macek based the New Generation, Genesis Climber MOSPEADA, had its own OVA (Original Video Animation) called Love Live Alive that was essentially a concert movie. Knowing that a series of flashy 80s animated music videos wouldn’t quite cut it here in the U.S., producers and writers (including Macek himself before his untimely passing) made something unique. There’s a new framing story but in between it’s mostly a clip show, although there’s also some new animation mixed in here and there to bridge gaps and tie everything in to the current continuity. Sound complicated? It is, but the end result, at least for this Robotech fan, is quite enjoyable.

GEEKEXCHANGE.COM ARTICLE ON ROBOTECH: LOVE LIVE ALIVE

GeekExchange.com has posted a new article on Robotech: Love Live Alive.

Here is an excerpt.

In order to produce Love Live Alive, producers Frank Agrama, Tommy Yune, and Steve Yun of Harmony Gold reassembled the original talent that voiced The New Generation back in ’80s to reprise their roles. GEEK was on hand for an impromptu reunion of old friends that are now anime legends. Frank Catalano who voices Rand is a self-professed Robotech fan that is clearly enjoying his time back in the role. Catalano authored the book, Rand Unwrapped – Confessions of a Robotech Warrior, which gives the reader a behind the scenes look into Robotech as well as voiceover work in animation. Rand’s love interest and fierce Robotech warrior, Rook, was voiced by Susie London, who told us that getting back into the sound booth and hearing the cast’s voices once again felt like no time had passed.
