Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Subject:
RIP Carl Macek, who helped give us Robotech
|
So I got an email from the Robotech newletter saying that Carl Macek passed away on March 17. He's the guy largely responsible for giving us Robotech and helping to make anime more popular in the US, for better or worse. I'm glad that they were able to get an animated show over to the US that wasn't just comedy. Oh, and giant mecha 
While some people considered mixing three different anime shows together (Macross, Southern Cross, Genesis Climber MOSPEADA) an abomination, I think that overall it wasn't too bad (although it seemed strange that New York in Mospeada survived largely intact when in Macross the Zentraedi pretty much wiped out all human civilization on Earth).
