Anime Bento: Anime Movie Festival 09/19/07-09/27/07

When I was at the theaters, I saw this on one of the commercials: Anime Bento

It went by so fast for me to take down the website, however through the power of Google, it wasn't too hard to find. I got pretty excited about this. I think I'll just watch Lupin III: Castle of Cogliostro, even though I've seen it in theaters before. I am kinda interested in seeing Karas and Robotech.

Ok, instead of Robotech I recomend Macross. I have not watch Karas myself but after listening to AWO I do not want to see it.

Well the only Macross I've seen is Macross Plus, and I'm fairly satisfied with just watching that one. The only reason why I would want to see Robotech is because I was a guest liason for Harmony Gold, and iirc, they are a company that worked on it. I met Tommy Yune, who worked on it. It seemed pretty interesting from their panels that presented. I never got into Robotech, so I'm sill 50/50 on it.

I'll have to check out the AWO podcast on Karas, even though I've never listened to them.

Macross Plus is awesome but as AWO said it on its 50 ep aniversary (in which they review Macross Do You Remember Love? ) , the Original Macross series had a different kind of heart than Macross Plus. I watched Robotech in spanish and there are some instances in which I was totaly lost, then I watched Macros and everything made a lot more sense. Robotech is a mixture of 3 different series into one story (it kind of works since the character designs are very similar) but as an overall story it does not hold very good. I will say that the Macross part of Robotech is the more coherent part.
Also if you do not have time to invest in a long series I would definately Recomend Macross: Do You Remember Love? then maybe you might be see Macross with different eyes.
