Summary: Essential Robotech
Review: As a kid, I didn't tune in to Robotech until the second episode of the Masters. As a result, I didn't see Macross until I was a bit older. That said, it was the Masters chapter that hooked me on Robotech, and I'd highly reccomend these DVDs to anyone who enjoyed Macross or The Next Generation.

Summary: I Love it!
Review: I am a big Robotech fan. i like it very much,and this part 2 is the best part in robotech i think. although haven't so many heroes, but it is so profound and has so much complexity of characters just like Dana,Zor,also Robotech Masters. this part is the core of Robotech, it is mysterious, solemn and stirring. it make me to see that the real meaning of Robotch is not only anti-war, but the forever principle between universe and being. only this part can show that. if you can't understand this part, you can't understand the whole Robotech.

Summary: It's Robotech! Just Not The Best Robotech.
Review: I am a big Robotech fan. As a kid I throughly enjoyed tuning in to see each and every thrilling episode. And while I loved every episode from the Macross series, I remember as a kid finding this part(2) to fall a little short.
One of the main problems I think is the lack of a hero to identify with. It doesn't matter if you are a girl or a guy, I don't see anyone actually listing Dana Sterling as a favorite Robotech character! Headstrong, a little dumb, and she is such a complainer. Also the second series lacked somewhat in cool gadgets. While the Macross saga had the awesome Veritechs, and the thrid had those awesome motorcycles that became body armor, this second part only has tanks. Cool tanks. But not really sci-fi imaginative tanks. Now while I have said that, let's say you are a person that doesn't carry about the first two reasons.
Well, a thrid reason it isn't as good, is the dull story line. Macross was full of mystery about the Zentraedi, and even the ship they were on. You got behind the people as they tried to live a normal life, when all the while they were battling giant aliens! It had the very emotional love triangle between Rick Hunter, Lisa Hayes, and Minemi. It had climatic battles, and plenty of action. Now while the Masters delivers a lot of action it falls short on human emotions.

FINAL WORD:
So what does all this mean in the long run? Well, if you are a Robotech fan, you might as well buy it. If you are interested in owning the series then you have to get it. And it is not that I am not recommending it! It is some good anime. A great DVD to have in your collection. Definately worth owning! But I just want to warn you that it is not as good as the part 1 and part 3.

Summary: Good But not to Good!!
Review: I have been hooked on Robotech since it came on Sci-Fi I I'm 20 now so it's not been long, I watched teh Macross Saga and Masters Saga on Cartoon Network and got the New Gen. from here. But I must say this, Macross and the New Gen. have great story lines while the Masters falls somewhat short of greatness.

Dana Sterling is the main Character, buring the whole things she show little in leadership skills and acts more like a child. Though in the books it's differenet ( hard to find but worth the trouble of getting) I find myself comparing the show to the books, while the Macross show and book runs very well as one the Masters is isn't. Dana in the books is more of a leader with a Rebal edage. Then a kid with a hoovertank.

I really want to list the problems with this dvd,
1. Characters are block and dull nothing really great about them
2. The Saga has more battles and talking about battles than anything else which makes it dull (but atleast they are good fights)
3. To much inforamtion is put on the viewer and sometimes viewer has to watch an ep. a few times to get it all.
4. In Macross and New. Gen alot of human emoations are put into the show to get the viewer to really get into the show, but the Masters has so little that is dry and fells almost bland.

All though the show has it problems it is still key to the Robotech Saga anyway you look at it. It answers questions about Robotech, about the Masters and yes even the awful and hated Invid. It also answer that bigest question people ask when they first geting to the Macross Saga.

"What Happiend to Rick, and Lisa and the others?"

With that I will leave it as this Robotech Master is key to the story no matter how bad you hate it or love it. It is a must see even with it's problems it is still good and enjoyable just leaves that feeling of emptiness after you finish watching it. But for those of you who are looking at this and thinking about buying it I would get it hands down and with out second thought. Just remember to get Macross and New Gen. along with it and you will have yourself a good ol' time and lot of sleepless nights.

Summary: Ugh...
Review: I'm gonna keep this real short, this is the worst of the three robotech series. It is way to pscychodelic for me.

If you are a user of illegal substances, maybe you'd find this good, but I never have, wouldn't encourage it for this piece of poo.
