Summary: My Two Cents
Review: This is not remastered! The picture and sound qualities are exactly what you saw in the 1980s when it was aired in the U.S. And so what? I know there are many out there who were hoping for "DVD quality", but I kind of like the nostalgic feeling I get when viewing this classic the way it was released. To echo what has already been said, Robotech is not Super Dimension Fortress: Macross (which is being remastered and released later this year). I never saw the Japanese version of Macross, so I'll refrain from the raging debate about which is better. But for Robotech fans, this is a must buy and don't save your money waiting for remastered copies of Robotech. I hear it ain't going to happen.

Summary: Life found a way... Robotech is back!
Review: THIS IS THE GREATEST ANIMATED SERIES OF ALL TIME!!!!!!! You can't deny it... No one can...

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: like being a kid again
Review: Video is exactly as it appeared on television, including intro outro and commercial breaks, however dvd programming allows you to skip all of them through scene selection. Exactly what I hoped and expected.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Only a Dub...
Review: Well, I have been a long time fan of Macross and when the dvds were finally released I couldn't wait to buy them...and when I saw the price, I immediatly added it to my shopping cart.

And then it arrived at my front door. I watched the first episode.

No subtitled Japanese version... No extras... Only a dub...

I would have rated this a one star, but it was Robotech...and I grew up on the dub.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A must have.
Review: What i felt when I listened to the Robotech theme again is something that's hard to describe.

Finally, this classic saga arrives on DVD. Don't expect a typical DVD picture quality nor a superb sound. Forget it. This is literally 1985, so that's the quality of the episodes you're gonnna find in both "First Contact" and "Transformation". No subtitles, no special features, that's too bad.

All in all, highly recommended. A must have for every Robotech fan.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Incredible Deal!
Review: When I first heard that Robotech was coming out on DVD, I flipped! Now that I have it in my hands, I am still doing cartwheels! This is incredible. I remember watching Robotech on TV in the 80's and it truly moved me then, and still does today! If you haven't ordered this yet, DO IT NOW!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: I bought the wrong DVD!
Review: When i first saw that Macross was coming out on DVD i bought it ... without thinking.I even bought the BOX set! Now that i saw the first DVD i was really dissapointed! Why? Because it is in English! i want the original Japanese version with maybe chinese or english subtittles.I fell in love with Macross not Robotech! i saw the japanese original version back when i was 7yrs old and back in Asia. No complaint about the story because,hey it's Macross! But after i saw other peoples review saying there is a uncut and restored version coming out i will hold out on buying anymore Robotech... Well i have only 2 complaints about this DVD version. 1)Picture quality is horible! 2)I thought DVD was suppose to have great sound,not this one! But anyway thisbrings back memories.Dammit i bought the wrong one! I would rather spend the $250 that is on the animeigo site then buying another english dubbed version.Does not help to put "Robotech" in the cover either.We all know(for those who watched the original version in Asia or anywhere else) that we fell in love with Macross! not Robotech.
