Stream the complete “Robotech” series, plus the full-length feature film Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles, starting Sunday May 15th on Crackle Anime! www.crackle.com/robotech

Originally released in 1985, “Robotech” is a sweeping science-fiction anime epic in which the human race finds itself on the brink of annihilation and under attack by a fleet of gigantic alien warships capable of destroying the Earth in a split second. Their only hope for survival lies within the secrets of Robotechnology, which allows humans to develop powerful transforming robotic systems and interstellar spacecraft. The critically-acclaimed U.S. TV series follows three generations of heroic characters who adapt this robotic technology from a crashed alien starship to defend against numerous alien invasions.

2016 is also the 10th anniversary of the animated film Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles, which was released in 2006 and features the voices of Richard Epcar (“Ghost in the Shell,” Mortal Kombat X), Eddie Frierson (FROZEN, MONEYBALL) and Mark Hamill (STAR WARS: EPISODE VIII). The premise continues where the television series left off: In the year 2044 AD, the human race has reached out to the stars through the miracle of Robotechnology, but not without bringing intergalactic war upon the Earth itself.

We are going to start translating some anime that might not have enough sales potential to release DVDs or BDs and do them as streaming only. The first title is going to be Miss Machiko. Eventually all 95 episodes will be subtitled in English and available to stream. Platforms and territories will be announced at a later time. If the demand is there we may one day release these on DVD.

About Miss Machiko:
The mischievous students of Arama Academy meet their match in a beautiful and clever new teacher, Miss Machiko! But they're determined to find a prank that will really embarrass her. No matter what they devise she still manages to laugh it off and help them with their school work and problems. This series originally aired from 1981 to 1983 in Japan.
