I had Robotech recordings since I was a wee sprog, fell into Battletech at about 8 or so. Cruised by some Crusher Joe as an adult out of curiosity after groxing the entire Studio Nue to Unseen background. And Juuuuust now elected to give Fang of the Sun a chance.
Intro didn't inspire faith to my non-weeb eyes. First brush was 70's esque (show ran from 81-83 I think, in Japan, but that intro looks a decade older to my eyes), and depressing... seriously that music and the color palette and the design... don't like the intro.
But after seven episodes... This show is Battletech as %$#$, and I have to pee.
Aside from providing a glut of classic 55 tonners and both original quads; the tactics and military organizations; the politics all have a super-heavy old BTech feel...
Kinda made me flash back to books like Ideal War.
Thoughts?
