Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Nice, a classic series makes it appearance again!
Review: What can I say? Great series, great action sequences and character development. I just recently started watching the series for the first time and after the first episode I was already hooked. I loved the whole series except for the robotek masters saga.

I was really impressed on character development and how they could tell you a lot about characters and their past lives and not bore the crud out of you. Moving storyline and fun scenes will make you cheer on Rick Hunter, Lisa Hayes and Minmay in their romantic, action packed, hilarious adventure.

Summary: Robotech macross saga vol1 dvd collection
Review: I haven't bought the set on dvd but i did rent it. Marcoss is one of my all time favorite shows. The only flaws I can see in this first dvd set( and probably the rest of the sets) is that carl macek and the people at adv did not take the time to fix degradation in the video quality(it looks like they dubbed this from vid tapes)and the high price. This series is also available from Animego in dubbed form with the original dialog(not carls) and the video quality is far superior( they went to japan for the original negatives) after video enhancing to restore it.

Summary: If I wanted a Chinese bootleg...
Review: Having a dynamic menu (vs. static) would be great if they knew how to create one! What's the point of having menu choices when the cursor is locked out and you have to wait for the recycle or press MENU to play then MENU again to call the intro/menu?
The trip counters blow chunks! Sometimes the menu recycles, sometimes the first episode plays. Sometimes episodes autoplay one after the other; sometimes you get dumped to the menu. At the menu, sometimes the next episode is highlighted, sometimes the first. Heaven help you if you have a lowly APEX DVD! The boxes should be a hint since the first two sets of this seven part series are only differentiated by a large sticker on the shrink wrap.

Summary: Robotech is the best anime
Review: Macross is the best anime series ever ad it's too bad toonami took it off of the air but now I can get them on DVD. Brahahahahahaha!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Robotech fans will be pleased
Review: This is a terrific boxed set, and a great way to relive your Robotech memories of the past. Each episode is included with beginning and ending credits, as well as commercial break intros.. it might seem like the latter would detract from the enjoyment of viewing, but it only enhances it. This is especially nice, as in the years following the series' original run we had to put up with a lot of condensed versions of Robotech-- Now we've got it all, just like it was before (or after) school everyday!!

The real treat with the box set (aside from having permanent, pristine copies of your Robotech favorites) is the bonus disc which includes artwork and commentaries. The commentary by Carl Macek is really terrific, as it lets you in on some of the "secrets" behind Robotech. It took the Robotech team only four months to edit and reduce the original Japanese series in to the three Robotech series, and their work influenced how future Anime would be produced. If you're at all interested in what went on behind the scenes (so to speak), you'll love his insightful commentary.

Now just click buy!

Summary: I love this animated series!
Review: I got these after getting a DVD player for Christmas. I loved watching these shows growing up and they are still fun today. I didn't notice any quality issues with the discs. Nobody that I have lent the set to have mentioned anything other than they enjoyed watching them. Also I thought the extra disk that has some interesting footage related to the series was pretty cool, nothing too special though.

Summary: Back to the 80's
Review: It has been nearly 20 - 25 years ago for me since I've seen this series on Superchannel (TV Channel in Europe, is gone by now) and allthough the drawings aren't state of the art (Anime at its beginning mind you) the storyline is superb. What _could_ happen if the aliens arrive and we set war on them by accident. This DVD set is brilliant and great value too, especially for customers in Europe.

One big issue; Don't expect hyper modern remastered animation. Instead expect a supreme blast from the past. And after you heard the Robotech intro music DVD style (in the DVD menu, in stereo and crystal clear sound) you know there is no way around it; if you are into this you got to get the soundtrack as well.
