This is a fantastic story set a year before the events in Macross city which would change the Earth forever in this story we follow Shin a young pilot with the UN Forces who gets shot down by a mysterious plane that chages into a flying robot which begin the chain of events which will lead us into the end of the unification wars and the start of a legend the story here is great and the animation is top notch plus we get to see Roy Fokker kick butt what else could you want .

3.0 out of 5 stars Bad subtitles..., March 13, 2008

This review is from: MACROSS ZERO (DVD)

The anime was excellent, and I finally got to see the entire mini-series. However, the english subtitles were some of the worst I have ever seen. Character names changed, not just from episode to episode, but sometimes from scene to scene. The subs often mashed the lines of two characters together. Much of the story line was lost due to poor translation.

I know there is another version out there that has a clean translation. You can tell it by the white subs versus the yellow of this version. The one with the white subs is translated neatly and makes perfect sense.

I would recommend that the retailers with this version cease doing business with their supplier on this particular item, and discount any remaining stock to compensate the buyers for the poor translation.
