Alright, anybody who calls themselves a fan ought to have heard of this by now. But I figure the long-awaited follow-up to the cult anime-adapted series "Robotech" has been confined to film festivals for so dang long that most fans were starting to think it would never be released (heck, the comic book series by Wildstorm "Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles" ended its run a full year ago!)... but yes, it's finally been announced for February 6, 2007.
Harmony Gold spin-doctors would have you believe it crushed all competition at its festival appearances. But don't believe the hype... use your own gut feelings and let the footage speak for itself. The official OVA site has posted a behind-the-scenes mini-documentary with new stuff no seen in the promos.

And of course, if you're in one of the lucky American cities showing it in a theatre, well, this is probably a once in a lifetime chance to check it out. Why am I saying this? Because despite my cynicism, I want to believe Robotech is back.
And don't forget to check out the official site with artwork by mastermind Tommy Yune.
