Catch more clips from YouCanDanceToit! on YouTube
It’s slightly amusing watching a black and white clip from the second episode of Batman from the 60s and hearing teens react to it. The 1960s were a different time from today. As far as the song…never lasted to my generation. That was the first time I heard it.
Does Dana have ulterior plans? Well, she’s Dana so the odds favor it. Last time she let slip something about going into space but the way she said it makes me think it’s not just about seeing the remaining Zentraedi up on the old factory satellite, where we’re headed this chapter.
I’m wondering if maybe there wasn’t too much backstory last chapter. Obviously there are things that need to be established but a good use of backstory is to establish a history, maybe making someone curious to see these other stories in the novels and comics to see this “expanded universe” part of Robotech, but when done wrong actually loses the audience instead. I think we know what we need to about the otherwise unchronicled years but given what’s about to happen I’m expecting more talk about the Malcontent Uprisings, a period I know only a little about because I didn’t know there were Robotech comics until the Academy run and this is my first novel. Let’s see if we get a good balance this time.
You don’t have to threaten me, I want to read this comic.

And what if you misspell it?
Over at The Clutter Reports this week I wanted to clear those comics out from under my art desk, which meant shifting comics now that I’ve taken a bunch out of the collection. Things went as planned and yet somehow I still screwed up part of it. I’m amazing like that.
I’m determined to do a Finally Watched this week, which given my luck probably increases my chances I won’t be able to. It depends on what else there is to discuss this week plus what level of garbage gets thrown at me. We have the next chapter of Robotech: Before The Invid Storm to look at on Monday and then who knows what else during the week. I don’t want to schedule everything, you know. I need room to discuss new stuff. Anyway, have a good week!
I posted this once a long time ago, back when Hulu still allowed you to embed their videos on your site. They dropped that to go all Netflix, but I wanted to make sure y’all saw this because it’s one of my favorite Japanese animated series.
Magic Knights Rayearth is based on the manga by the group known as CLAMP, which I’ve reviewed on this site already. The series (except for the OVA I recommend avoiding) follows three Japanese schoolgirls who are given magical powers to awaken giant metal warriors to save another dimension from evil. Yes, it’s a isekai magical girl mecha anime, and it comes together beautifully! TMS has posted the first episode (hopefully not an April Fools gag and more will be coming but I don’t know if Japan celebrates that particular holiday from Hades–as a former bully victim you can understand my issues), and I’m hoping that means more episodes will follow. Enjoy!
