Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles

Since my last post on Robotech actually got noticed, I've decided to set down my reactions to "Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles," which arrived in the mail at last in a shipment of anime DVDs. The anime discs went into my backlog, but I was intent on watching The Shadow Chronicles as soon as possible... if not without a bit of apprehension as I started taking off the shrink wrap. How would I react as anticipation came to an end at last... and yet, in the end, I had the feeling it had been enjoyable. I even wondered about attaching the word "surprisingly"... although "oddly" just perhaps seemed to fit too.
