GC Mospeada: Love Live Alive

( Posted On YouTube )

Americans and other Westerners know Genesis Climber Mospeada as one of the three shows that made up the import/translation saga Robotech in the middle 1980s...one of the sparks for anime fandom outside Japan. What many anime fans and even a great number of Robotech fans are unaware of is the fact that Mospeada was popular enough in Japan to have the Tatsunoko studio make this tribute video after the show's run. It's mostly a compilation of music videos based on the series, but it also includes new material. Love Live Alive isn't listed in the usual catalogs of OAVs because they generally don't bother with including music video sets.

Belmont/Yellow Dancer/Lancer's destiny after the series has been a point of controversy among Robotech fans because the novelizations took one direction, the comics took another and the role-playing game took yet another. None of them really agree and that's where everybody has problems. Harmony Gold is trying yet again to make a sequel series to Robotech (after two failures and a close call) so perhaps we'll get an answer someday.

Meanwhile, this is all there is.
