Robotech - The Macross Saga - Legacy Collection 3 description Producers at Harmony Gold edited together Super Dimension Fortress: Macross, Genesis Climber Mospeada, and Super Dimensional Cavalry Southern Cross to create Robotech (1985), a landmark sci-fi adventure that helped to establish an audience for Japanese animation in America. In the final episodes of the Macross segment, the Lisa-Rick-Minmei romantic triangle plays out against the ongoing Earth-Zentraedi conflict and the machinations of rebel Zentraedi captain Khyron, which devastate much of the planet. Intimations of a new threat posed by the distant Robotech Masters serve as a lead-in to the second part of the epic. A planned 65-episode fourth installment in the saga was never completed, but the first four episodes and some additional footage were combined into the feature Robotech II: The Sentinels, the final installment in the Robotech continuity. The supplemental "Elements of Robotechnology III" disc includes The Sentinels, a trailer for it prepared for the 1987 Toy Fair, and a rather self-serving commentary by writer-director Carl Macek. Members of Gen-X who grew up on Robotech will delight in retracing these romances and battles; it's a classic, of sorts. Viewers accustomed to the more rapid pacing, dynamic action, and sophisticated direction of recent anime will tire of the endless shilly-shallying. Unrated; suitable for ages 8 and up: Mild violence restricted to spaceship and robot battles. --Charles Solomon |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Remastered DVDs Coming Soon. Do Not Buy this Set! |
| Robotech is the classic English translation of three Japanese cartoon series Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeada. To say that the Robotech Saga was great does it no justice. Robotech is extraordinary. One of the first animes to make the jump from Japan to the US, Robotech brought animation to a whole new level in the US. This isn't a cartoon with 30-minute essentially non-related episodes. The Robotech Saga melds 3 different Japanese cartoons into one storyline. Although I am not the biggest fan of Southern Cross or the 3rd Generation, the First generation, which encompasses the first 36 Episodes of Robotech is simply stellar. The storyline is robust, characters are amazingly developed, and the action is amazing. The animation may be a bit plain, but considering that Macross was first drawn 20 years ago, I would argue that it has withstood time quite well. Although Robotech is a must-own for any fan of anime, DO NOT BUY THIS SET!!! ADV is coming out with a remastered version of Robotech on DVD which will include digitally remastered video, sound, and additional footage never before aired in the US. I unfortunately bought this set well before the announcement of the new set and was somewhat disappointed with the video and sound quality of these DVDs. In addition, most of the Bonus DVDs in these sets contain useless items, except for E3, which contains the Sentinels episodes. My recommendation would be to buy the E3 bonus disc separately and wait for the Remastered version to be released. |
