Wow, for kids aged 13-15? Lucky young'ns. I was assuming this was a high school grad course, at least.

Also, how nice of ANN to list the distance from New York to Keio in metric Surprised

If Macross is still popular with 13-15 year-olds despite its age, I really need to get a foothold in the franchise soon.

Quote:
Kawamori himself attended Keio University with high school friends Haruhiko Mikimoto and Hiroshi Ohnogi; the three founded a Gundam anime club there and eventually left the university to create the first television anime series in the Macross science-fiction franchise.

Considering Macross began in 1982 and Gundam in 1979, the series of events between the founding of the university club and the release of SDF Macross must have occurred very swiftly indeed.
