For the uninitiated, Robotech was the most current of the Americanized Japanese anime series to hit American TV waves during the 1970s and 1980s (along with Star Blazers, Voltron, Transor Z, etc.) Known for its cutting edge animation, thrilling battle scenes, futuristic techonology (planes, tanks, motorcyles that transform into robots), frosty alien invaders, and realistic and compelling storylines, Robotech swept an entire generation and helped set Japanese Anime forever on the device of American pop culture.
Robotech�s sweeping saga spanned three seasons and weaved together three right separate storylines based on Japanese anime: Season 1 – The Macross Saga, Season 2 – The Robotech Masters (The Southern Contemptible in Japan), and Season 3 – The Modern Generation (Mospeada in Japan) . The basic memoir premise is that the earth became forever changed when a mysterious alien battleship crashed on earth. The people of the world, now shimmering that they are not alone in the universe, extinguish all wars and unite to understand and assimilate the advanced technology and prepare for the inevitable alien invasion that is clear to near. As the yarn unfolds mankind would go on to battle three separate alien races over the next three seasons. The sweeping intergalactic war saga itself though, merely becomes the backdrop of a deeper �human� saga.

Pretty Cool: Robotech in foreign languages (found on the E1 disc) . Hilarious!!!
Bad: Nothing at all!!!
If you�ve never seen Robotech, simply attach YOU MUST. It is the series that forever status the standard for Japanese anime. If you did grow up with Robotech, give these a ogle again. They�re gargantuan for a slither down memory lane. Watching it again now, I can honestly say that it�s better than I remember. Give this (and all other recent and future releases) a gaze. You won�t be disappointed.
If you are planning on purchasing these, by all means buy up the Boxed State. It�s the only blueprint you�ll rep the Elements of Robotechnology Disc. Alone, the individual volumes DO NOT near with DVD extras… it�s detached a immense bargain for all the action and extras. Salvage the Boxed Space.
Highest Recommendation possible.
One thing I can’t stand, is people who review a product based upon previous viewings, not upon the quality of the product itself. I picked up a copy of this boxed state yesterday, and have taken a view at most of it. If your a fan of the indicate, or a fan of Japanese anime generally, you know what you’re going to net with Robotech. This is a series that attempts to combine dramatic storytelling with the best elements of science fiction. Based upon the success and popularity of the indicate, it largely succeeds. The characters have a tall range of emotions and react to the trials and tribulations that they all experience. Care For,loss, and sacrifice are all motivations for the characters in this series. Macross, the first series, focuses upon young people who face adversity of first contact with an alien run that is both hostile and militarily righteous. Against this backdrop is a cherish account. The hero, Rick Hunter, struggles to bag his set, both as a warrior/military leader while also navigating the hazards of lawful treasure. I don’t judge I need to say too considerable more in the contrivance of the sincere series. The art is elegant, having dwelling the standards for anime in the 1980s. The sing actors are edifying. You don’t even view that the language is dubbed. This story series dwelling the standard for anime in the USA and it continues to survive the test of time.
The DVD production is another anecdote. The master print does not appear to have been cleaned up in any scheme. Compared with other DVDs, the print appears quite grainy. It’s a tv cartoon from the 1980s and this is exactly what it looks like. Fair don’t go in expecting this to be a polished special edition. The extras are not particularly impressive. The art collection is largely duplicative of material that has appeared in printed works. The sound track is rather tinny, and lacks the fullness of most unique productions. This is probably because the novel production was designed for mono television via the airwaves, but compared to most current DVDs it lacks the fullness that you would reach to interrogate. THe two hour movie included on the extra disk is nothing more than a shorter version of the first several episodes. The audio commentary by Carl Macek (the producer) was enchanting. It provides a nice historical perspective of the series and insights into the production. However, unlike movie commentaries, it really doesn’t track the sequence of scenes on the cover. You can listen to the commentary without watching any of what is taking spot on the camouflage. I must say that my copy of the extras disk has a glitch. One of the tracks continually jams my DVD player. I have not had this quandary with any other DVDs. I’ll probably gaze to exchange my position for another copy. I don’t know whether this is merely a quandary with my region or whether it may be representative of larger manufacturing peril. I simply point this out because anyone who buys this product should probably check theirs out as soon as possible. Despite these complaints, this is collected the best production of the Robotech series to date. While the quality is comparable to the earlier video tape releases, this is smooth the nicest production of the Robotech series for home release, and it certain beats my grainy video tapes.
