Product Description
As any Otaku will tell you, the anime epic that came to be known as Robotech was woven together from three separate sci-fi series. Macross is one of these series. Now for the first time anime fans can enjoy Macross as it was originally presented to Japanese TV audiences more than 20 years ago!

5.0 out of 5 stars Macross for people who can't read fast!, June 14, 2008

By	V. Crisafulli (Lansdale, PA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I was surprised when this series was released. Macross has been released as Robotech three times on VHS, and I've lost count of how many times on DVD. Macross was released in late 2001 in it's original Japanese, subtitled only in a high quality set. So why pick it up now? Well, this is for people who don't like reading subtitles. The dub is also pretty good.

This is the grand finale of Macross. Well, the original creators had planned episode 27 to be the ending, but the series was expanded to 36 episodes. The last 9 episodes happen "two years later" as the survivors try to rebuild the earth. It gets to be very much like a soap-opera with the Minmay vs Misa part getting very heavy near the end, but if you've watched all the episodes up to this point, you're heavily emotionally invested in finding out what happens.

This volume also contains a flashback episode featuring Roy Focker and Claudia, and a Christmas episode (do they celebrate Christmas in Japan?) The extras include liner notes, and a series of interviews where ADV producers gush over how much they love Macross.

4.0 out of 5 stars Got Robotech? Don't waste your money., April 5, 2008

By	Eddie C. Edwards "proud father of 2" (OK, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is good anime, but it was not worth it to re-buy Robotech Macross Saga. Still the same anime, characters, and enemies. If you have the original, don't bother. If you don't then get this Macross and Robotech paved the way for the anime of today, and it is worth having.
