Ah! Missed that the first time through the article; that makes sense now, thanks. I do love the Banner Saga and I've been asking for more games like it, so definitely buying this :)

This looks EXTREMELY similar to Banner Saga— the setting is different, but I can't ignore the gameplay, dialog selection, and side-scrolling travel between battles, to say nothing of the 2D cel animation. I love Banner Saga, so I'm all for this, it's just a little obvious.

—nothing except spank it on the unconscious redhead's gurney you mean.

Yeah, not sure how much will actually be animated in the US; they've brought on board the group of South American animators whom they formerly shut down with a C&D for doing a live action Robotech fan series. Now they're in charge of animation on the project, go figure. To my knowledge, this group has never even…

Yup. This is so obviously a cash grab for salaries, not animation. They've never been able to produce something good (or even complete) without re-appropriation of footage and designs, and so far the Kickstarter has nothing promising to show for itself. They're not even addressing concerns from backers in the…

Thanks for the numbers! I was actually really curious how $500,000 stacks up in relation to other crowd funded anime projects. Am I correct in thinking that the amount HG is asking is a little much for a single episode?

IS.

Not to mention the fact that they're pulling this stunt right after a new Macross series has been announced.

Genius. I have money for this as soon as it's a thing.

This. If I could buy Macross with subs or dubs, I absolutely would, but I can't because it isn't available thanks to Harmony Gold's suppression of the source material they rewrote. The only way I've been able to experience later Macross series has been to torrent them with fansubs.

Kotaku, thanks for endorsing a creatively bankrupt company that blocks decades of of the source material from western release.

That's a great idea! I'm going to follow your lead.

Why now— because a new Macross series was announced a few months ago.

I agree. Please include the link in the article.

We already have almost two decades of Robotech-like material that's far superior to anything Harmony Gold has ever done with robotic fighter planes, and it's all far more deserving of western release. All they've done is make a few crappy pilots and one vastly inferior film, all the while amazing Macross series are…

A bunch of my favs come from the old 90s Interplay Star Trek games (25th Anniversary and Judgement Rites). You're encouraged throughout the games to find the least violent solutions, like using a complicated lab to make an cure for a disease affecting your Romulan enemies. You can even use the machinery to make…

I HATE this..... And yet, I kinda want a Jetfire pig :P (Jetswine?)

N-lover?

What are those features that an individual would not find sexually attractive that apply to a singular race across the board that makes them not shallow for assuming an entire race shares that trait?

Oh for Pete's sake... "African/Asian/White" was meant as "insert race here" not as any or all of those specific races. I'm not going to debate with someone who needs that explained. You have completely failed to understand what I'm arguing, so I'm just going to move on.
