We’ve got a treat for fans of the classic ’80s cartoon Robotech, with the first trailer for the Robotech 2-Movie Collection featuring a re-release of Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles and an all-new feature, Robotech: Love Live Alive. The DVD will be released on July 23rd, 2013.

Love Live Alive is partially set after the events of Robotech and follows the adventures of Lance “Lancer” Belmont as he recounts the story of the Third Robotech War and what happens after the end of the war. It’s based on a music video released only in Japan way back in 1985 and originally tied into the “Genesis Climber MOSPEADA” series that was used to create the third part of the original Robotech series. Alive is part of another plan to get Robotech restarted, and will hopefully pave the way for Robotech: Shadow Rising.

Check out the clip below now and let us know if you’re looking forward to more Robotech.

The Shadow Chronicles originally came out in 2007 and was the pilot for a planned new series that never materialized. The story is set after the end of the original saga, and has Scott Bernard teaming up with the returned Robotech Expeditionary Force to defeat the Invid as well as taking on a new enemy, the Children of the Shadow.
