Summary: It's about time
Review: Ever since I saw how badly butchered Macross was when it was turned into Robotech, I've wanted to know what the other cartoons were originally like.
Needless to say, both Macross and GenesisClimber Mospeada were far better without the constant and irritating Narrorator voice-over. I'm expecting this to be the same. Maybe the plot and story will actually make sense? Maybe the voice actors will actually have talent?This probablly is more of a niche market than a mainstream item, but I expect it will be worth while.

Summary: ADV Just didn't care!
Review: I had to order this DVD set twice. My first set was so scratched up you couldn't see anything beyond episode 1. I returned it and got a much better set, but the last 5 minutes of episode 19 was recorded badly. I expect to see the quality like that on a CD-ROM from 1997, but not on a 2 year old DVD player. The show's story was great which is why it gets at least 1 star, but ADV should know better than to make a defective product.

Summary: worth a second look
Review: What you are looking at is the original series that the second "cycle" of the american robotech series was based on. Basically harmony gold took this anime re-wrote and re-edited it to fit between the macross & invid invasion stories. For better of worse (i think worse) most robotech fans thought of this as the weak link in the robotech saga. And for years it has not been available in the U.S. It's well worth a second look. After macross and orgus this was the ORGINAL end the series. While more macross stuff continues to be produced this series was kind of like the farwell yamato of it's time. The orginal story is much more complex than we see on robotech *hint* zor is not a person but a race, and this is NOT earth. The only reason this series doesn't get a 5: production. ADV could have done better, we've all seen the recent Neon genesis upgrades. This is not just for nastalgic protoculture addicts, but it does help. Other reviews mention specific technical issues i haven't had that experince. However, there are no commentaries and little special features to speak of. Still if you ever were a robotech fan watch this. IT was the original end to the macross series you know you want know why...
