Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles, the CGI series is releasing two more DVD campaigns Feb. 5. Outlining the "Hydora" and "Tophet" campaigns, these new DVDs will fill the gap between the already released Pluto DVD (First) and Tesca Nemerosa (Fourth). Sony also has two more campaigns in production meaning almost the entire series will be released on video and DVD.
If you haven't seen it, Roughnecks is the most amazing CGI animation I've seen on TV. Animated mostly by Foundation Imaging (who did the effects for ST:Voyager and Babylon 5) the look of the series is exceptional, but I love it for the stories. Unlike most animated shows, Roughnecks tells a linear story that lets the cast change. People are lost from the squad, new one's appear, characters change. It's definately head and shoulders above most U.S. animation.
Sony has pulled out the stops on extras as well. These DVDs will have director and CGI animator commentary as well as concept art, and actor bios. I can't wait to get my hand on these episodes.
