Talk:Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles

message: There seems to be a lot of confusion about Janice here and other boards.  Most of the info about her that's used in the movie was based off the books (Since there wasn't too much else with her in it).  She was created on Earth by Lang, and went with the SDF-3.  Later she was partly rebuilt using Haydonite(sp) technology.  It was when earth recived the "shadow technology" that they learned back home that she was an android.  Because she was rebuilt with suspect technology, this is why she was arrested, even though many people in the movie already knew her from the Hunter's wedding. 4.161.81.129 00:09, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Her comments in the movie also suggest that she directly handled the technology transfers between the Haydonites and the REF.  They gave the technical information to her, and she passed it to the REF scientists.  Hence, additional reasons for Vince Grant to suspect her. --Junior612 05:18, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

message: This page is coming out a little fanpageish for a Wikipedia article... I notice most edits tend to try and portray the film in a positive light/remove negative perceptions others posted, and no mention is made of any of the negative critical reception the film recieved. The page really needs a knowledgeable devils advocate or it's going to become worthless as an encyclopedia article. I'm not saying it's as bad as the articles that read like a marketing exec for the company wrote them, but their is definetly a lack of neutral tone towards this film, especially in light of the many mixed reviews it recieved both from critics and fans alike of the original series (off hand before I typed this I was able to find 3 negative/mixed reviews from reputable sites and sources used for other anime pages). I'm not saying people need to agree with them, just that it's only fair here if both sides of the review and reception of the movie are given. I'm not the wikipedia editor some people here are nor am I close to being as knowledgeable as many who edit this are, but I think one of the folks here who really knows the series and the movie and keeps up on a depth of reviews should try and balance out the page a little. While it may feel good for fans of the movie to try and control the page, in the end that just ends up with the article one day getting wiped or the page looking clearly fanboi controlled and making people not respect it as a good source, but instead see it as a biased one. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.132.185.1 (talk • contribs) 
:I'm not so much concerned by positive/negative concerns, but that the article is written in a fashion that makes it inscrutable to anyone not familiar with the Robotech universe. Reviews of any sort can go in a section devoted to that subject. Untitled1 03:46, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Lack of Criticism 

message: Don't think this belongs on the encyclopedia page, but if you pay attention when the Haydenite Elites come for Janice it is Sector 7G announced over the loudspeaker... this may be familiar to those who are fans of The Simpsons... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.132.185.1 (talk • contribs) 
:That's true, but it's more probable the Simpsons creators were also fans of the original source of the reference: "Operator 7G" from Megazone 23 (which later became Robotech: The Movie). —Robotech_Master 19:47, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Fun Fact

message: It's been a long while since I've seen the true original series front to back, but wasn't it generally a professional, respectful, and realistic portrayel of women? IE most the women were professionally dressed, and seemed... err... reasonably proportioned. I remember as a child Robotech was viewed favorable by alot of my teachers and local parents because of how it portrayed women as professionals and not sex objects. Since we lived near a military base and alot of the parents were women in uniform that was kind of cutting edge. The new movie main characters seems to have alot of "How big can we make her Boobs" followed by "How low can we cut her shirt". I'm not even sure theirs a single female extra drawn with less then a small D cup and a shirt 2 sizes too small to be comfortable combat wear. Mind you it makes the movie no differant then all other modern anime, but it definetly is a trend away from the original series art style and background ambiance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.132.185.1 (talk • contribs) 
:The bust size on the women is something that's been pointed out, and is an obvious area for complaint.  There seems to have been an obvious attempt to emphasize their chest attributes.  Though I think part of the blame can be placed with the general art style, since the bust size on the men has also been talked about... --Junior612 21:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: When asked about it (in an early interview on my show), Tommy Yune suggested that it was because, to make a long story short, the animators had too much time on their hands. He also noted that they had to send back for reanimation the scene with Marlene in it, because the animators had originally animated her naked (and it was kind of icky to have her appear that way before her brother.) —Robotech_Master 19:49, 27 September 2007 (UTC)

text: The animation in the film actually felt pretty consistent with the style that evolved in the comic books. My guess is that animators like big boobs, especially because it's easier to draw a curvy woman than one with a more realistic body. Graatz (talk) 23:55, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm trimming down the Release section, as it looks more like an advertising page rather than an information page. If anyone has a problem with that, go ahead and speak up. Areaseven (talk) 01:37, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Release cleanup 

message: I have removed the "Continuity" section, as it does nothing but clutter up this article. If anyone wants to know more about this title, there are other resources online such as the official Robotech website. This is Wikipedia, not a Robotech repository. - Areaseven (talk) 05:27, 15 June 2010 (UTC)
