Fan Work: Robotech Anthology

An interesting fan collection project going on that others should know about:
"Zor's Journal is a collection of the best Robotech art and fiction from around the world. We also include other material such as articles and poetry from time to time. Contributors may submit material for inclusion in the journal through this web site. Every six months, the best of those submissions are included in an anthology.

Zor's Journal is currently attempting to get a license to publish our first edition. A demo copy of our first edition has been completed and will be considered by Harmony Gold USA, Inc. as well as Funimation. Careful consideration of the product as well as market information will determine if the product will be successful. If all goes well, a license will be granted and the book will be available by summer 2008."

Aaron's live action graphic novel pages will be appearing in this anthology book if it gets published. So, keep your eyes open and help support this project.

Shadow Chronicles on Xbox 360 Live

I'm not sure when they finally posted it, but i figure I would let people know. I been telling Harmony Gold to take advantage of the online content that the Xbox 360 offers its fanbase. So, finally it's possible to pay and download Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles on the system along with some other anime series such as Ghost in the Shell TV series and Naruto. Shadow Chronicles is only in standard definition widescreen format, not High Definition. It takes up almost 1GB of space. It's nice to finally see Robotech slowly getting out of the closet and becoming part of the age. Sadly, there were no pictures or theme packs to buy though. I don't know why since some of the other animes on the list had them and the Shadow Chronicles page did have an Ariel background.
