OK, just a heads up.

The Genesis Climber Mospeada ended its series back in 1984. Despite being a somewhat runaway hit, not as popular as other mecha series such as Macross or Gundam, Mospeada become a cult classic with loyal followings.

By 1985, the production staffs got together & produced a finale OAV for the series, knows as Mospeada Love Live Alive! It is basically a new animation of Yellow Belmont in concert after post-Inbit war, with several AMVs in between which basically scenes from the TV series. It is more or less like what Macross Flashback 2012 OAV to the SDF Macross series & DYRL.

It is made specifically to cater to Mospeada fans. Unfortunately, Mospeada Love Live Alive only being released only in Japan, thus making it too hard to find.

Added on November 1, 2011, 8:01 pmWell, recently Harmony Gold, the current international rights holder of Mospeada & the Robotech (in partnership with Tatsunoko) franchise has just announce that the new animated project for Robotech is Robotech: Love Live Alive ...

Yes, they've acquired the rights to Mospeada OAV, and now will rerelease it as Robotech instead.

And .... instead of retaining the original Mospeada OAV, only footages of Yellow Belmont'c concert will be retained, while the rest will be newly animated CG scenes .... it is stated that despite using Mospeada LLA as a base for RT LLA, the RT LLA is different as it will not be as an AMVs flashbacks like original LLA, simply a new story altogether, retelling of Lancer's (that's Yellow Belmont in Mospeada) story after he crash landed on Earth, years before Scott Bernard.

Frankly speaking .... I'm a bit disappointed.

Sure, its nice & all that Mospeada LLA is finally seeing the light of day .... I actually expect HG to retain & release the original LLA as it is. But alas, HG saw it fits to simply edited it with new scenes corresponds to Robotech storyline instead.

I dunno ... I'm having mixed feelings.
