Summary: Cool if you 're an addict, but childhood memories are better
Review: I was really jazzed when I heard that ADV was going to release these DVDs, especially since I missed out on the Robotech Perfect Collection. Finally, I could relive those childhood memories of rushing home and watching Rick Hunter fight the Zentraedi!

Well, childhood memories have turned out to be better than the real thing. While it's cool to have this whole collection, it's been a reminder of how far animation and storytelling have come since the early 80's. And I have a big complaint with the music mix; is it just me, or has Harmony Gold gone and changed the music? I seem to remember different snatches of background music in certain scenes, and I don't think it's fading memory.

Anyway, if you really dig Robotech, buy this collection and watch it. If you've always wanted to find out what your college buddies were talking about, don't go whole hog and get this entire set. While it may make a Protoculture Addict out of you, the more discerning animation fan won't be all that excited.

Summary: Ok so its not digitally remastered...Robotech still rules!!!
Review: When these boxed sets came out, I knew I had to have them. I grew up watching Robotech-- a cartoon that would never be made today because of all the issues it deals with. Lots of reviewers complained that its not digitally remastered. Ok so its not digitally remastered...so what? I'm not going to wait for the remastered version to come out, because its been delayed forever (eta 2003 maybe?)! This version is in English and looks the same as it did when I saw it as a kid-- which is just fine. Also reviewers are complaing about the beginning title being played before every episode-- no big deal since you can just skip those in your scene selector. All in all, this is a must for Robotech fans!

Summary: A Timeless Classic
Review: I know this is a shared sentiment and said over and over, but I must say it too - Robotech is just amazing and truly one of those unforgettable childhood memories. And now it is here again! Don't let this chance pass you by!! The DVD's are excellent. Honestly, I don't want some "Restored" version. This is exactly the way I remember watching it, and I wouldn't want it any other way!

Summary: You're scared of the horrible video quality? Nonsense.
Review: This is the reason I love anime. I actually wasn't old enough to catch it on it's first run in 1985, but Robotech introduced anime into the U.S. If you love anime, if you can't live without anime, owe it to Robotech. The series is very interesting, it never has a dull moment. The only reason that will stray your interest in Robotech is the video quality. The animation isn't horrible, just the video quality. The print has dirt and scratches all over it. The lines aren't very sharp and the lighting is messed up in some scenes. Especially in the last few episodes on the second disc. Speaking of the discs, you get 6 episodes on each disc, there are two episode discs. The third disc is only available in the legacy collection. It contains some interesting stuff, such as a clip with different languages and a show summarizing the first 13 episodes. Robotech, the classic anime series, has finally arrived on DVD. Don't miss you're chance, you won't be dissapointed.

Summary: At last!
Review: The best cartoons are on DVD at last! I was about 6-7 years old the first time I watched Robotech. I just loved the series!
This DVD Box Set is just great. Both the audio and picture quality is superb.
I can't wait to buy the other sets!

Summary: Given the fact that it was mid 1980s epics. It's still Great
Review: Like I said. It's hard to recreate the VHS videos from the mid 1980s into something better is difficult without a big, big budget. I'm glad they could even put it out on DVDs. I'm not going to wait until they put out a better DVD because they might not. Despite the appearances that it came from VHS. I'm glad to finally own these videos. The story line and off course the music are my top priorities. This is the show I watched every day after school for and I'm glad that the I'm selling the episodes on the days I've missed. My favorite. Go Robotech! See them at www.robotech.com .

Summary: The best anime ever created
Review: One of the best ever created anime for the tv screen i recomend this because i collect anime

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finaly i have my own copy
Review: For anyone who waited for the TV show to unfold this SAGA is a Must Have. As a long time fan of Robotech, I am glad to know that this great work ( for the time it was made ) is finally being made available again. Not only that but in the DVD format with all the extra's and goodies we have come to expect from this new format. This edition is great. Not only did they put a nicely packaged Box-Set together, they added a bonus disk that Iced the cake and made up my mind in a heartbeat. The only drawback is that other than the Pre-view Episode "Codename Robotech" and accompanying commentary by Carl Macek there is not much else. but the pre-view and commentary ar worth it in my eyes. Hope you enjoy it. I know I did. I just bought the second Box-Set and am patiently waiting on the Third Set.

Summary: Actually it is a four and a half... Why?
Review: In my mind Robotech always gets a five star or plus but i couldnt get passed the crappy Dvd encoding. Yes true it is a luxuary to have the Saga in Dvd and it is a dream come true... But you cant blame me if i want a little extra from the DVD. The sound quality and the picture quality could be a little better than the regular TV quality. I think the encoding is the sole dislike i had over the dvds. The bonus DVD is superb and it means something extra for the ones like me who first watched Robotech dubbed in Turkish ( or other languages). The box is amazing (Yes i am talking about the cover) it would be foolish to buy the DVDS without the collectible box. It has a very good gravure of a Robotech plane on top... <Sweeeet :)> Just buy it ... Nothing more to say i guess.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: At Last !!
Review: If you are a fan of Robotech this is a MUST HAVE. The box set is packaged beautifully. Picture and sound quality are crystal clear. The interactive menus are laid out in an easy to read and use format. The special "extras" disk contains some great character study drawings and a pretty informative narrated version of the original feature length pilot. Buy it, watch it, and enjoy......
