>.< I come here looking for fellow fans (robotech or macross I love both so It shouldn't matter right?) And all I find are trolls. The Internet is a truly miserable place.
Harmony Gold should die in a fire. They're the release we can't get Macross 7, Macross Zero, and Macross Frontier in the United States.
Besides, those asshats at HG couldn't come up with something original if their life depended on it. Shadow Chronicles is a perfect example of that...it was a fucking trainwreck.
all I know is that I watched all the generations from Rick Hunter to Scot Bernard everyday after school along with Star Blazers, Gatchaman, Voltron and even fucking Tranzor Z. Whatever bullshit you want to say about Robotech is just proof that obviously you are a young kid still and didn't grow up watching this shit like I did. Hell you probably think that Bumblebee is really a Camaro. I had Scot Bernard as a toy, you grew up with Beanie Babies. The Robotech Series crushes now silence child!
Do all of you realize that the people who made this series popular in the 80's were young kids like myself (I was 10 at the time) who knew nothing of Japanese anime? We thought it was made right in the good ol' USA. As another person commented, this show, for good or bad, was a gateway for many of us growing up at that time to discover Japanese anime.
How I love Robotech - I got the whole 3 series for £15 odd second hand, such a bargain.. This is so much like new Battlestar Galactica (though only within the Solar System mostly) - Humanity fighting against an implacable enemy. Thier shared humanity comes out in the end though (um.. kind of like the new Galactica series!). The first time I saw the aliens I was like "no f*cking way!" XD
seriously everyone here is a dirty, snivelling raging fanboy. I get it that this was edited for the purposes of syndication and I have also come to the conclusion that the Macross original is better but what will shock you faggoty disrespectful weaboo fanboys is that IN MY OPINION BOTH ROBOTECH AND MACROSS ARE GOOOD! (What are you going to do? beat me to death for my disloyalty?)
Not to mention that there was no way to know that the way it was liscened would cause such a huge snarl of rights, and that the anime industry would boom so much (and that DVD would come around, making releases with multiple language tracks possible). In other words, the whole thing was in no way deliberate.
seriously there are far too many Robotech Haters. A least I can count myself lucky and blessed to be able to appreciate BOTH SHOWS FOR WHAT THEY ARE. BOTH SHOWS ROCK!
No doubt about it,the Veritech was based on the Grumman F-14 Tomcat,but we have not yet seen a Allied Veritech based on the McDonnel Douglas F-18 Hornet.
Now to get a armored and well armed "Hunter Killer" Class Zentreadi Battlebod based land and air based Battlepod made for use for the US Army and Marines.
This is GREAT!! Robotech being beaten to death by fans of Macross!! Robotech fans take heed!! I as a youngling use to belive in Robotech til I heard the name Zor and was a lost sheep. However Macross showed me the light and I never looked back. Besides Harmony Gold try to sell this and other series as their own. and still try. Poor selfish bastards!
"Robotech being beaten to death by fans of Macross!!"
It's a normal thing since more and more anime fans are becoming Macross fans because of the SUCCESS of Macross Frontier. The same thing is happenning with many robotech fans too because they can't stand harmony gold lies anymore. When Macross fans are starting to understand all the lies about hg and robotech and the legal mess regarding Macross and robotech, they are becoming more and more vocal. Explaining the growing robotech bashing.
@JamesBond77 seriously you people are all nasty cruel fucks saying you want robotech fans to be beaten to death. HOw can you wish for the death of another innocent human being? this is a tv show and therefore not real. Get overyourselves you sick raging happy fucks!
Yeah dude. The guys "working" there are just a bunch of the most lazy fuckers you can find in the whole galaxy. Cancelled projects and just ONE canon sequel in more than 20 years. This whole thing is a joke. Plain and simple.
Please remember those of us who grew up with this show and thought it was originally produced in the U.S. and had no idea about a Japanese show. Our point of view is a little different from those who discover this show now with all the different anime shows available now. Remember, this was 1985 when this was pretty new to kids growing up in the U.S.
Americans did not steal anything, the rights of Macross was giving to us, and you are so concern about the characters names from Japanese to American names, don't put American looking characters in your series with Japanese names, HATER!
Robotech is bullshit man. the americans stole these from japan and gave them shit names and cut out all the cool shit and destroyed the original plot. If your going to enjoy it your actually better off watching them in there original japanese format or even better watch (super dimensional fortress macross) thats its original name for you fools who dont know what it is actually called with its new english dub from ADV Films.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I'm sure you mean Robotech "is" the shit right? Go run off to your gay Macross frontier place otherwise. If you want to watch something with a good story line and good sound effects, watch robotech, if you want to watch something that has turned into a kiddie loving, butchered mockery of what it use to be, go watch macross.
And the original cut of Robotech that aired in 83 in the USA had way better sound than the "re-mastered" Robotech DVD's including this clip.
i loved this as a kid and felt like really watching the entire series. dad only go the first 4 eps or something. but with this US audio, its just.. i.. i dont know i feel like killing myself, thats how horrible it is
the music is insanely bad and the ambiance seems totally gone. i remember it being way different
@TylerNessss I didn't realise it was so different - this is the only version I've known.. I have the extended edition which features dubs still but alot of footage that was taken out when it was aired in the States. Will look out for the original though, I know what you mean - I prefer Hokuto No Ken and its old music as opposed to the English dub with techno soundtrack (still ok though!).
@joshtffan Robotech is responsible for popularizing anime in the United States, but you wouldn't know that because you're a hardcore Japanophile who thinks any kind of adaptation is a bastardization and would rather anime remain an obscurer form of animation that only hardcore fans know of. I bet you watch Power Rangers, all the while being a hypocrite by not knowing that show's true form.
@Starwind18020 Ha, you think I watch power rangers. Haha what a dickhead, Like you said I am a japanophile I know more of the original super sentai series than there shitty power ranger counterparts. Oh if you dont know what super sentai is look it up asshole and also I know robotech was one of the influence that introduce anime to english talking countries. What pisses me off is that they tried to erase there culture from the show, like original names, music and changing the story line.
you do know that back in 85, japanese culture was not a huge thing, and in fact, there was quite a bit of anti japanese sentiment due to the fact that at that time, japan was having an economic boom, and in some places in the US, jobs were being lost to Japan, so japanese culture wasnt exactly the most popular thing at the time, so editing out the cultural referances (which back then, people would have little way of even researching), was the only way to make it marketable.
@Starwind18020 Also harmony gold are a bunch a fucking nazi for trying to destroy everything of Macross and turning it into robotech. The only people who would watch that crap are fags (like you) who would not even now a good story line or voice actor even if it slap you in the face. Wanker.
@joshtffan: Way to be a homophobic idiot-you just invalidated your whole argument with the three-letter 'F' word. And what the frack do YOU know about good voice acting over what Starwind18020 knows? Or anybody knows?
Who says now Robotech sucks ass, this was done in the late 70s and early 80s stupid, and you comparing a carton to now 2000s tv dramas, Robotech was a pioneer in cartoons at this time that told a story when I was a kid, but I bet an idiot like you enjoyed watching G.I. Joe a cartoon about war and NOBODY EVER DIED IN BATTLE! RETARD!
Okay all you guys have to calm down! Back in 85 we barely knew what japanese cartoons were! We did not even call it anime! Remember this was being shown at 430 pm ! All kids watched it ! The US could not show the real violence with heads being blown apart and bodies floatimg around! We had barely got thundercats! The US is a G rated country! You all need to remember that!
Well if you haven't heard it just type macross intro 1 in the youtube search engine. Its in Japanese and it sucks! MAAAACCAAARRROSSS ......... I've seen both series many times and yes the original Macross is superior story wise but the music sucks! You fanboy!
"Very heavy resitance"....."Yes, but why are they using such primitive weapons"....that has been burned into my brain when the opening screen came on before watching the Robotech DVD's I bought so long ago lol
i seen best buy had a collection i just thought of this and it reminded me i have to get it. i remember the very first episode i watched when i was young. i remember this guy had a motorcycle and it turned into a mech was like tha coolest shit ever.
1985 was its first airing, and it's been aired ever since on different channels at different times. I, personally, caught it on Toonami on Cartoon Network in the 90s.

Hell, off the top of my head, I can only think of the original DB series as to have a better one.
Basically, in the 80's, if it wasn't Loony Toons, it didn't get a good dub.
