Summary: In a word? Sweet.
Review: Being a relatively new Robotech fan, I was blown away by how good this series was when I first started watching. Especially considered how I've been spoiled by more rescent anime such as Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop. The New Generation story is as simple as it gets. Big bad aliens attack and take over the Earth and humans are trying to take it back. But oh it's so much more than that. The action is still amazing even after fifteen years. It's fast, exciting and it still sets the bar for giant robot action. And I mean come on, it's got a motorcyle that turns into power armor! If any shred of childhood remains in you, you have to admit that's pretty dang awesome. Yes, I'll admit the dialoge is clunky and melodramatic, but heck, that's half the fun! In the end, Robotech is really a hyped up cross between Top Gun, Saved by the Bell, and Star Wars. Best of the Eighties all the way!

Summary: EL FINAL DE UNA SERIE UN POCO DIFICIL DE ACEPTA
Review: EN ESTA SAGA FINAL.. LA SERIE ROBOTECH DA SU PUNTO FINAL, CON UN COMIENZO. NO QUIERO ADELANTAR NADA Y CONTAR EL FINAL DE ESTA SAGA.. PERO EN PARTICULAR PARA MI, ESPERABA UN POCO MAS EMOCION Y SINGULARIDAD EN EL FINAL.LA TRAMA EN ESTA SAGA, ES MUY BUENA. DESPUES DE LA SAGA MACROSS, CONSIDERO QUE ESTA ESTA MEJOR QUE LA SAGA DE LOS MAESTROS. EN ESTA SAGA VUELVEN LOS VERITECHS AHORA COMO ALPHAS, Y PODEMOS DISFRUTAR DE LAS MOTOCICLETAS CYCLONS, MUY BIEN ELABORADAS. EL ENEMIGO. "INVID" UN POCO TONTO, PERO MORTAL. ESTE DVD NO TIENE LEYENDAS EN ESPAÑOL.

Summary: Think twice
Review: I loved Robotech as a kid. It was cool animation and at the time was about as deep as cartoons got. So when I saw the series offered on DVD I bought them right away. If you have gotten this far into seeking these discs for purchase, chances are you are familiar with the subject matter and the characters, so I will not give a summary. I will assume you, like me, watched this when you were younger, was devastated when the show was removed from TV and haven't seen since. Well, at the ripe old age of 28, the animation isn't nearly as good as I remember, the animation is not as revolutionary as I remember, and the story isn't nearly as edgy. Additionally, there aren't any extras to speak of, the transfer isn't anymore crisp than you would get on a video, and it is just slightly annoying that with each episode you get the credits (both beginning and end), preview of the next episode which is really not needed and the commecial break (no commercials just the we'll be back and the we're back). Just a bit of a let down for this lover of nostalgia. I'd say this is closer to 2 1/2 stars. Still fun to watch.

Summary: Possibly the best of the three
Review: It wraps the storyline of Robotech in a satysfying way and it has good character development as well as a good plot. I believe that people would probably wonder why didn't they strech the episodes to 36 like the Macross saga when there are so many things that can be said for the main characters. Even though the Macross saga is the classic one it sometimes gets tiring and repeats itself. However, the new generation moves smoothly not only in the robotech main's story but also in the characters' story. Add the coolest mecha in the whole series and you guess why this might be the best one of the trilogy.
One last thing I would like to mention is that this series was like a myth to me when I was 10-13 as I could only watch it in some foreign channels, while I didn't even understand the language well. The series never aired in the Greek channels. The magic about this anime is that now that I am 25 I enjoyed it even more and the magic still remains. It still gave me the chills when I heard the opening tune of Robotech.

Summary: Best of the 3 acts
Review: This is my favorite act of the robotech saga. I remember taping the series daily in my youth to get the whole series on tape. Don't expect a great trasfer to the DVD format though because the first two robotech acts are about as bad as it gets as far as picture quality goes the only advantage of the dvd format for this release is that it won't suffer from degradation due to time. What makes this the best of the three Robotech acts is the great story line, character development, and the awesome mecha. Who doesn't want to hop on to a Cyclone and kick some Invid [behind]. This also features some great animation once again probably the best animated of the 3 acts. Highly recommended and its easier than buying the dvd's separate.

Summary: Series hits a quite different tone than the other parts
Review: To begin let me tell you something about Robotech: Robotech was created by taking three Anime that were not in any way related (Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Southern Cross and Mospeada) and creating a single series - Robotech - from them. This is because back then there was a minimum length for shows to be aired on US-TV and Macross was too short...
I must admit after watching "The Masters" my expectations for "Mospeada" aka "The New Generation" were not all that high. I was surprised!
Mospeada has by far the best Animation of the three parts of Robotech but there are other things that set it apart.
First this series hits a quite different tone than the other parts. Macross and Southern Cross (Masters) were all about a giant war between massive armies, including vast space and ground battles. Mospeada has such battles only in the beginning and in the end. The rest of the series focuses on a small band of freedom fighters with seldom more than a dozen Mecha involved in any single battle. Those small battles are masterfully done though. Unlike in Southern Cross and (to a lesser degree) in Macross, battle footage is almost never repeated. Choreography is nice and though each episode ends with the obligatory battle against the invid, every battle seems unique. (Even the recap episode had an own story!)
The second high of the show are the characters! I've grown to like each and every member of the small band. They are given much time to develop, and though some episodes might be considered filler by some, you learn a bit more about one of them each time.
Third the atmosphere: Macross and SC seemed a bit lacking in that department. You wouldn't have known how the characters felt, if the narrator hadn't (persistently) told you. In Mospeada you get the feeling of a small group, constantly hunted by overpowering forces right from the beginning, you feel the suspense when they are hiding from another invid patrol. Yes much of the time here is actually spent AVOIDING battles, which makes this show fell more real than the others.
Finally Yellow Dancer has a much better singing voice than either Minmei or Dana Sterling!
Differences between "The New Generation" and "Mospeada": Few that I could tell... For once the armada of the humans trying to reclaim earth does not return from deep space but comes from Mars. You can read "Mars base" written on some of the ships. I don't think there was an Admiral Hunter or a SDF-3 either in the original show.
The "Invid flower of Life" probably doesn't exist either, but the references to it are few and far between and can easily be substituted with other things.
Having its focus on a small group instead of the Big Picture probably saved the show from too drastic editing.

Summary: Robotech Is Back Now!!
Review: When I purchased this I had how many episodes comprised the "new generation" I was pleasantly surprised. I remember New Generation the 3rd chapter in the saga of Robotech as being one of my favorites next to the Macross Saga. Scott, Rand, Rook, Lance (or Lancer), Annie and that big Mexican looking dude that reminds me of Hunk of the Voltron series. They all struggle to get to Reflex Point to kick some Invid butt and their adventures are the stuff of nostalgia. I thought I would never see Robotech again after it went off the sci/fi channel but now it's back thanks to fans around the world. Robotech fans rejoice!
