Dude, me too. It was my religion. So awesome. I am still giddy. FINALLY! AND, outside the Hollywood machine too. Must see.

For some reason, I feel DigMe and a few others are all over this.

Looks interesting, however i wonder if the scrip is going to be full of the usual senseless and very cheesy pride feeling that japanesse action shows/movies/anime are always talking about.

I vaguely remember changing the channel whenever reruns of that show (and Robotech) would come on. I think the accompanying toys were way cooler than the programs themselves. I can appreciate those cartoons nowadays. That said this looks like it could be a fun movie.

The Wave Motion Gun! My brothers and I used to call it the "Shave Lotion Gun".

They didn't show any Gamelons in that trailer?

I wouldn't have it any other way.
That said, the original show was off my radar when new as I was just out of high school- I LOVED Ultraman(just picked up a 2-DVD set )& any Japanese monster/Sci-Fi movies of the 60s/70s though so I may need to check this out.

I would like to see a similar adaptation of the original SDF Macross anime... Not of the Robotech-ized translation, and not the Macross: Do You Remember Love? film version.

I watched most of Ultraman TIGA, and have the original Ultraman DVD set as well.

I've been looking for DVDs for Space Battleship Yamato everywhere, to no avail. Every convention I go to only seem to have new series.
I have some of the Starblazers comics though.

I've also been searching for The Super Dimension Fortress Macross. However, if I mention Macross, anyone I mention it to thinks of Macross Frontier...


I have the tapes for Robotech though.

Wasn't the Yamato the ignominious WW2 battleship that never really entered the fray, but rather scurried from harbor to harbor to avoid a confrontation with superior forces?

Starblazers is only the coolest cartoon ever. I have them all on VCR tape.

They better get Christopher Walken to play Leader Desslok. No way some Japanese guy can pull that off.

Hell yes! My sushi chef, who is from Japan (no surprise there), and I were just talking about Yamamoto and Ultraman the other day at work. He busted out singing the theme to both of the shows at the top of his lungs. It was awesome. Everyone in the restaurant looked at him like he was crazy, as usual. He is going to crap his pants when I tell him about this. We even have an Ultraman roll on our menu.
