I was wondering how many of you would rate your Robotech fandom.

Mine is on the wane I'm afraid. Its not that I don't love Robotech, I do, I buy the comics when I can, and I'm eagerly awaiting the MPC Alphas. However, it just doesn't have that magic for me anymore. I realized this the other night while watching Banner of the Stars with some friends we got to discussing wether the Abh could defeat the Zentreadi. One of my friends stated he had never seen all of Robotech. I mentioned I had all of it, but we quickly agreed to put it on the back burner. Once upon a time I would've ran to my room and grabbed the set and started watching it all then and there, but now, its like "maybe later". I rarely look at my Robotech RPG books and then only to help me convert Gundam mecha. I don't even plan on buying the remastered series, why rebuy a series I already own. Maybe I'm just a sorry excuse of a Robotech fan. Maybe my fandom has evolved abit. Or prehaps, after 6 years of obsession my passion isn't what it once was. Overall, I still love Robotech, but its no longer that blinding adoration it once was.


How about you?

I agree. It's natural. And it's not something to be scared of.

Everything in life is a closed ended circle. For now, your interests turn towards other venues. But eventually, you will long for somehting different.

Then one day you pull out the old robotech dvd's, and watch them with renewed vigor again, It's called nastalgia.

And it all comes full circle as you get enthused and buy some more comics.

(p.s. my fandom wasn't doing good at all, but now I'm back on the rr posting again, see? It all works out.)

I think you just got burnt out. I happens. Like me and Star Wars when I was like 13-14 (now I pretty much hate SW except the original 3 films and some select EU).

Me? Mine is one the wane aswell. I haven't watched any Robotech since this past August when a friend bought me the Mospeada collection for a graduation gift.

Two years ago if you came into my room I would probably be watching Robotech. Nowadays you would probably find me watching an Alias or Stargate DVD, or something in the Gundam universe.

Which doesn't mean I don't like RT anymore, it's just that currently Robotech isn't one of my strongest interests.

Interests run in cycles, and Robotech was dominating my cycle for a while, and it's taking a break, so that I don't start to dislike it. In due course, on a whim, Ill bust out the first Macross saga DVD and start over again. but who knows when that will be?...
