Robotech is responsible for introducing many an anime to Japanese pop culture. Unlike many other adapted series of the time, Harmony Gold and writer Carl Macek openly promoted the show as being of Japanese origin.  The series featured some rather progressive topics for its time as well as design elements that were much more detailed and intricate than others at the time. Thanks to our pals at Beyond Home Entertainment , we managed to chat with Associate Producer Steve Yun about Love Live Alive and Robotech in general.

Australia's own Beyond Home Entertainment have a great history of delivering retro to our TV screens and now they're delivering retro to our conventions! Sure, there is plenty of conjecture about the "legitimacy" of Robotech but fact of the matter is this: Robotech is responsible, at least partially, for Western culture's love for all things anime.   Following their DVD release of the legendary 1985 series, Beyond Home Entertainment have announced a very special guest for this years Supanova Pop Culture Expo in Melbourne and the Gold Coast.
