So it was Macek's idea that SDF-1 Macross crashed on earth, Max and Miriya got married, the zentraedi destroyed almost all life on earth. I didn't know that.
Robotech is both a blessing and a curse to me. To its benefit, it introduced me to Macross and the wonders of anime in back then. Now they're the same people holding Macross back from the rest of the world.
Original Macross is better than Robotech. Whole Macros universe (Macross + Macross Plus + Macross 0 + Macross 7 etc) is worse than original Robotech.
Whole Macross universe is equally bad as Robotech + Shadow Chronicles. Macross 0 animation was fantastic, bas aside from Roy Fokker and Valkyries, it does not have mucj common with original series. Too bad HG didn't hire someone equally competent for SC. Story was lame and there were too many continuity errors. They had to finish Sentinels first
my comment was referring to the "way you said it"..."Sunday morning 'cartoon'" is an insult to ROBOTECH...
Because it is a Legendary "ANIME", not "A Cartoon". People who ONLY like the Original Super Dimensional Fortress" Macross, call ROBOTECH a "Macekred Cartoon" !
So if you did not intend on disrespecting ROBOTECH by calling it a "Cartoon", then disregard my comment ;-)
I don't understand why there are still some fellas keep mixing up the original Macross saga with other Macross canons like Macross Frontier, SDF Macross DYRL? and worse still the unrelated story canon Robotech. Please... check with wikipedia so as to get the facts straight. If u need to check the animes, I recommend u download them via BAKABT website. They have high-quality torrents mostly about these animes. It will help u alot. :Doh yeah, don't forget to seed accordingly too.
@JamesBond77 you must have no life. I don't care if people like Macross more. Macross doesn't have the casual real acting. I first saw anime around 1980 by way of HBO and UFO Robot grendizer, then later Battle of the Planets. Robotech music may not be the alternative rock or techno or j-pop you expect on every cookie cutter episode of most anime that is crap these days but Robotech was something us children of the 80's grew up on and the music has that familiarity that we will not forget.
@JamesBond77 you should not even be here. If hate robotech so much you should stay way from robotech vids. You have Obsessive-compulsive disorder robotech hating disorder. why else you go to robotech amv videos with little views and say something trollish.
Never liked this show back then when I 1st seen it. Mainly due to how spotty the storytelling was. Which seemed to be a common thing with alot of stations. Always showing stuff out of sequence=\
But once I got older and thanks to Macross Plus. I got a better understanding of the series and realized it was thanks to the fucks that ported it over. It wasnt really enjoyable to me
Sorry but wth am I missing with Macross and other Japanese versions that was dubbed into Robotech. Robotech Remastered seems to have all deleted scenes. I have watched the Japanese version of Macross and Southern Cross. Now tell me. What have I missed? So far it seems almost the exact same thing. Just a bit more slower and boring. I get sick seeing Robotech rantings such as these. The only thing I've liked of the Macross series so far has been Macross 7. Watching Frontier lately.
25 years after first watch, and Im still have my skin like a chicken listen this song... Macross fans vs. Robotech fans!? I just want to tell something: FUCK ALL OF YOU! enjoy the serie! enjoy with Rick, Roy, Lisa, and their names in the original Macross! we have the chance to see 2 amazing stories of our best serie, and you still fighting each other!? I cant believe it...

I have watch these cartoons (manga) in my early years (and of the eighthies) on Superchannel (doens't exchist anymore), butt I'm very pleased to see it back again. And there 3 stories (chapters) I'll stille remember.
NO ONE should think Carl Macek is what you say, maybe Harmony Gold. You don't know what kind of work went into ROBOTECH..Carl Macek is the music, the story, the acting...He's EVERYTHING...because he took it from Harmony Gold and created EVERYTHING from scratch...you say he is bad, i say he is a GENIUS...
putting 3 sagas together to fit 1 story is ingenius...there are more flaws in Star Wars than there are in ROBOTECH...
Oh, yeah, because buy three animated series without any real relation between them, do copy-paste and mention nothing about its respectives japanese authors is something only a genius can do, right? Well, I must be not surprised, even the swindlers in the history have followers.

Well, I must be not surprised, even the swindlers in the history have their followers.
Swindler? Do you have evidence that this was Macek's intent? It was made very clear FROM THE BEGINNING that the American Robotech series was created from Japanese shows. It was right there in black & white in the 1985 release of the Robotech RPG from Palladium Books. It was mentioned in the art books released by Starblaze. Hell, even the pre-TV series Revell Robotech kits had the Tatsunoko Productions Big West/Macross Project copyright marks on the packaging.
@MikeTaylorLives people are jerks. Macross didn't even suffer in the translation. It was the cutting edge of translating and dubbing due to how close it followed. Now that other show with the bikes and everything, that got completely altered. People talk like if macross was the one that suffered instead of the other show no one even cares about today, genesis climber mospeada.
@GadGades your are about not one care able genesis climber mospeada. It only remember by robotech fans because it big part of 3rd part and squeals and comics.
from scratch means the bravado to reinvent protoculture, a whole new meaning it is... and to add Admiral Hunter to the saga....it really is from scratch...
you cannot park in a time limit curb that is green that is next to a red curb and get a ticket for BOTH..
either you get a red curb ticket OR an over the time limit ticket.....
meaning, either you blame Macek for going off the deep end into Carland or you blame him for being safe and unoriginal....
The haters are blaming him for going over the deep end a recreating what should not be changed...for adding pieces of story where it should not be...
Come on...Dana being Max and Miriya's daughter....Monument City being on Earth....there are more differences with Reflex Point storywise than there is in the whole Macross...
The WHOLE ROBOTECH story is different in almost EVERY way....IT IS from scratch
@jackhammer10101 Except that no one really heard or cared about Macross during the time it actually was running in the west. Most of the complaining about purity was done in hindsight: it was Macek who popularized anime through robotech and streamline pictures releases. Unless you were one of the few tape traders in a pre-internet world, anime was simply not on the map for most people, and the only ones who brought it over often did far worse jobs than Macek: look up Tranzor Z, for example.
I think you are reading me wrong... I am a FULL supporter of Carl Macek's ROBOTECH (NOT Harmony Gold...they just said,"are you sure", "really", "ok" during the production, and then they stole it from Macek, legally)...and i believe it is done so well, i compare it to some T.V. scripts...sure there are unusual flaws here and there...but there are some ensemble portrayals that are very deep; my favorite is: The New Generation.
i know you are being sarcastic, but minus the mecha and animation, YES Carl Macek IS the script, story, creation of the characters motivation and personality. A character is not only a drawing...It's life is breathed in by a director, script, producer, and eventually an actor's finger print. There is NO WAY "Hikaru"(Arihiro Hase) is "RIck"(Tony Oliver)
We need to get past visual versus audio...Super Dimension Fortress to ROBOTECH fans is without audio. If we turn off the volume..
@jackhammer10101 Unfortunately, this IS animation....NOT a audio storybook. Shōji Kawamori created a visual art, space romance, power of music, and exposure to culture shock. All macek did was tweak the original SDF-Macross story, which is fine, considering Robotech was meant for children who had no idea what culture was.
HG/Macek had their shot to prove their creativity w/o the aid of an existing Japanese anime when they released "Shadow Chronicles" and they failed miserably!....
The remnants of Super Dimension Fortress IS the show without sound...When i watch SDF:Macross without sound, that is the contribution Macross gave to ROBOTECH...Carl Macek did not create Macross without the audio...
...ROBOTECH begins with the audio...It is an audio storybook...In fact, i tell people to close their eyes and "LISTEN" to ROBOTECH..
The audio is Tony Oliver's portrayal of a confused Rick Hunter...i dont know how confused Arihiro Hase sounds. The audio is the way Melanie Mcqueen
portrays a strong military woman but a fragile flower with an immense vulnerability when it comes to a personal life...It portrays a gentle Max, where SDF: Macross portrays a Max like Roy Fokker.
The audio storybook reveals how the Protoculture Matrix is the essence of ROBOTECH that runs through the veins of not only the SDF1, but the Invid, creators of Protoculture of which the original ROBOTECH Master Zor, stole and discovered from .
@MaestroTaikun typical response from a unam frijolero a joke of a nationalized school from a joke of a country maybe you'll learn some science on how to border jump or make a battleoid out of papier mace to fight the cartels which make your country into shit.I'm Proud ROBOTECH fan since 1986' when I first saw it on KABB in TEXAS. RIP Carl Macek who brought us Americans a great adaption with brilliant voice acting, humanistic storylines,lovely music which is dear to our hearts for life.
Impressive, a well-informed racist about the guy he wants to insult. That's progress!
Hey, everybody, who else thinks it'd be very interesting to know the opinion of the japanese creators of Mospeada and Southern Cross (the other two "sagas" of Robotech)? You know, I just ask myself which is their actual view of Macek, who never gave them credits for their series. Because everybody knows Macek always said Macross was completely his idea. Yeah, RIP, you bastard thief.
Now I ask you: Have you heard about Nausicaä of Hayao Miyazaki? Well, your stupid idol, Macek, he also was responsible of bowdlerize that awesome movie and he turned it into a piece of shit. I just wanted you to know it, you can be even more proud now.
Well, it's enough for today, I suppose you have to kill some native indians right now.
PD: If in your country don't consume the drugs, we wouldn't have cartels to distribute it to you ;)
@MaestroTaikun You love this music which is very very Robotech, and composed by Ulpio Minucci and others. You'll not hear this opening title/theme in Macross. In my opinion, Robotech's music/soundtrack (and story) is far more superior to Macross.
tipični američki kreteni. znaju samo za jednu stranu, a drugu pljuju. kreteni bili i ostali. i Robotech i originalni Macross su veličanstveni crtići, bolje rečeno veličanstvene priče. Carl Macek je odlično spojio tri odlična crtića u jednu cjelinu i dao to na zapadno tržište. da to nije napravio trebalo bi još puino godina da anime dopre do zapada, da zapadnjaci skuže anime i japanski stil pričanja i kompleksnosti priče.
@MaestroGloriusus Upravo tako,flejmuju se ovde oko toga sta je bolje,Robotech ili Macross...to je jedno te isto ali ajde objasni to ovim cetrnaestogodisnjim trolovima...
I find it sad that the very thing that introduced me to Macross is the very thing holding it back in the US. Still, Robotech was a strong part of my childhood, this intro/theme is all kinds of epic.
Now when will Harmony Gold get a clue and realize that the era of Robotech is long over...
Way back in the 1980s I watched this on a local Television station here in Portland, Oregon. I fell in love with this show. This was one of the shows that really turned me onto Anime. This is from a time when people weren't afraid to dream, something we could really stand getting back to. ANd the charcters really knew how to grab you.
@TheTumboos so you admit you're a macross fanatic, also scolding how to be a macross fan. Sorry my friend you haven't opened your pandoras box and still it is in you drawer. Macross Universe advances with inovation. Actually i'm much older than you
this bring shivers down my spine, of a time where dreams and fantasies were real and the courage and companionship of these characters made me stand in awe as a kid
the Robotech theme was the only thing better than the original Macross...in my opinion anyway, also I liked the names better...but above all else I wanted a helmet like Ricks so I could ride my motor cycle in style lol
@holodock hurl all the insults you want, but this is still responsible for a lot of people our age liking these silly Japanese cartoons. Hell, I have it for nostalgia's sake even though I have my AnimEigo SDF Macross DVDs.
@npnnrtn Hm... I am pretty sure there is a vaccine against that AnimEigo :P Now seriously I watched Robotech, Voltron and a lot of similar shows but I still don't understand why Japanese people are so obsessed with giant robots.
i own all the macross saga (i mean super dimensional fortress macross) from macross zero, to sdf macross, to dyrl, then macross 7, then the macross 7 ova's, to macross plus, plus the movie rendition, then i also own macross frontier.
but without robotech, i wouldn't of have even discovered of a great franchise, actually i bought all the robotech movies i could before carl mackec (who died on april 17th of 2010. A.K.A my birthday.)
all i have left to say is that, this cartoon is much better dubbed than some anime's.
i also actually own super dimensional southern cross. thanks to robotech. and even genesis climber mospedia, thank's to robotech. now what makes little to no sense to me, is that why didn't they finish it with super dimension century orguss
my point stand's nontheless. robotech is what it is, the name could use some work, but i liked it when i was 12 like 5 years ago, and i still do.
@Ultraxwing I like it most when you say when you were 12.. 5 years ago... I can say I remember this on tv back when I was less then 5 more then 20 years ago I still have all my toys aswell as original vhs and dvd collection.. Not making fun of you in anyway just nice to see it was still pulling kids years after I was done with it
Sinceramente es un himno a la alegria del corazón de un Niño, si pudiera viajar en un rayo de luz seria tan relativo como el tiempo en que la vimos, "Jamas" una Guerra fue tan colorida, tan dinamica, Revolucionaria y tan Orquestadamente de forma Maravillosa, Fue como una Opera Galactica dirigida a lo Wagner.
Fue hermoso, yo vivi eso y te aseguro que ningun niño de ahora vera algo igual en su vida, nada hecho por Disney, Marvel, Spilberg Cartoon Network, se le comparará ¡NUNCA!, JURALO.
this music by signore minucci is quite awesome. Sfx are also pretty exciting; they added so much to the overall image when I first saw it and it still does!
You can write about robotech/macross, see it, listen to it, be nostalgic, intellectualize it or be lyrical about it but none will get the point, for it is sheer experience that you must be willing to undergo. Only by that way can you truly say: that is it.
I love the original sound effects - like the cockpit sounds and the mechs. The new Robotech dvd effects are so bland & noisy unfortunately. - wished they kept the original.
BTW, did anyone know that Carl Macek died earlier this year? Yes, the man that helped bring these awesome series to the USA is gone. Thanks, Carl, for all that you did to bring anime to us!
if day ever come where mankind sends its first FTL ship to the stars, this tune should be played.

@MaestroTaikun
Swindler? Do you have evidence that this was Macek's intent? It was made very clear FROM THE BEGINNING that the American Robotech series was created from Japanese shows. It was right there in black & white in the 1985 release of the Robotech RPG from Palladium Books. It was mentioned in the art books released by Starblaze. Hell, even the pre-TV series Revell Robotech kits had the Tatsunoko Productions Big West/Macross Project copyright marks on the packaging.

@MikeTaylorLives people are jerks. Macross didn't even suffer in the translation. It was the cutting edge of translating and dubbing due to how close it followed. Now that other show with the bikes and everything, that got completely altered. People talk like if macross was the one that suffered instead of the other show no one even cares about today, genesis climber mospeada.

from scratch means the bravado to reinvent protoculture, a whole new meaning it is... and to add Admiral Hunter to the saga....it really is from scratch...
you cannot park in a time limit curb that is green that is next to a red curb and get a ticket for BOTH..
either you get a red curb ticket OR an over the time limit ticket.....
meaning, either you blame Macek for going off the deep end into Carland or you blame him for being safe and unoriginal....
The haters are blaming him

@jackhammer10101 Except that no one really heard or cared about Macross during the time it actually was running in the west. Most of the complaining about purity was done in hindsight: it was Macek who popularized anime through robotech and streamline pictures releases. Unless you were one of the few tape traders in a pre-internet world, anime was simply not on the map for most people, and the only ones who brought it over often did far worse jobs than Macek: look up Tranzor Z, for example.

I think you are reading me wrong... I am a FULL supporter of Carl Macek's ROBOTECH (NOT Harmony Gold...they just said,"are you sure", "really", "ok" during the production, and then they stole it from Macek, legally)...and i believe it is done so well, i compare it to some T.V. scripts...sure there are unusual flaws here and there...but there are some ensemble portrayals that are very deep; my favorite is: The New Generation.

So Carl Macek designed all the characters and mecha, wrote the scripts, drew the storyboards and animated everything by himself?

@sanjurosama
i know you are being sarcastic, but minus the mecha and animation, YES Carl Macek IS the script, story, creation of the characters motivation and personality. A character is not only a drawing...It's life is breathed in by a director, script, producer, and eventually an actor's finger print. There is NO WAY "Hikaru"(Arihiro Hase) is "RIck"(Tony Oliver)
We need to get past visual versus audio...Super Dimension Fortress to ROBOTECH fans is without audio. If we turn off the volume..
jackhammer10101 3 months ago
@jackhammer10101 Unfortunately, this IS animation....NOT a audio storybook. Shōji Kawamori created a visual art, space romance, power of music, and exposure to culture shock. All macek did was tweak the original SDF-Macross story, which is fine, considering Robotech was meant for children who had no idea what culture was.
HG/Macek had their shot to prove their creativity w/o the aid of an existing Japanese anime when they released "Shadow Chronicles" and they failed miserably!....

The remnants of Super Dimension Fortress IS the show without sound...When i watch SDF:Macross without sound, that is the contribution Macross gave to ROBOTECH...Carl Macek did not create Macross without the audio...
...ROBOTECH begins with the audio...It is an audio storybook...In fact, i tell people to close their eyes and "LISTEN" to ROBOTECH..
The audio is Tony Oliver's portrayal of a confused Rick Hunter...i dont know how confused Arihiro Hase sounds. The audio is the way Melanie Mcqueen
jackhammer10101 3 months ago
portrays a strong military woman but a fragile flower with an immense vulnerability when it comes to a personal life...It portrays a gentle Max, where SDF: Macross portrays a Max like Roy Fokker.
The audio storybook reveals how the Protoculture Matrix is the essence of ROBOTECH that runs through the veins of not only the SDF1, but the Invid, creators of Protoculture of which the original ROBOTECH Master Zor, stole and discovered from .
I "Listen" to ROBOTECH, i don't watch it !!!

Hey, everybody, who else thinks it'd be very interesting to know the opinion of the japanese creators of Mospeada and Southern Cross (the other two "sagas" of Robotech)? You know, I just ask myself which is their actual view of Macek, who never gave them credits for their series. Because everybody knows Macek always said Macross was completely his idea. Yeah, RIP, you bastard thief.

Well, it's enough for today, I suppose you have to kill some native indians right now.

tipični američki kreteni. znaju samo za jednu stranu, a drugu pljuju. kreteni bili i ostali. i Robotech i originalni Macross su veličanstveni crtići, bolje rečeno veličanstvene priče. Carl Macek je odlično spojio tri odlična crtića u jednu cjelinu i dao to na zapadno tržište. da to nije napravio trebalo bi još puino godina da anime dopre do zapada, da zapadnjaci skuže anime i japanski stil pričanja i kompleksnosti priče.

I find it sad that the very thing that introduced me to Macross is the very thing holding it back in the US. Still, Robotech was a strong part of my childhood, this intro/theme is all kinds of epic.

This is from a time when people weren't afraid to dream, something we could really stand getting back to. ANd the charcters really knew how to grab you.

i also actually own super dimensional southern cross. thanks to robotech. and even genesis climber mospedia, thank's to robotech. now what makes little to no sense to me, is that why didn't they finish it with super dimension century orguss
my point stand's nontheless. robotech is what it is, the name could use some work, but i liked it when i was 12 like 5 years ago, and i still do.

You can write about robotech/macross, see it, listen to it, be nostalgic, intellectualize it or be lyrical about it but none will get the point, for it is sheer experience that you must be willing to undergo. Only by that way can you truly say: that is it.
