There is still magic in the series. Whether people think it is a bastardization of an existing IP or one of the first anime they ever saw on TV the series is worth the watch.

The rabbit hole on the series gets pretty deep with Harmony Gold and their aggressive protection of their licensing (which you can look up on youtube.) None of that takes away from the fact that Robotech itself was lightning in a bottle.

A dark hope, is that these sales are to get more exposure and pave the way for the live action movie that has been mentioned for the last 20 years. (Last news was a very, VERY old mention that Tobey McGuire, yes, Spiderman, was interested in the movie.)

Rose covered glasses of nostalgia have me preferring Robotech the Macross Saga over Macross itself. So this deal is pretty tempting.

However, don't let that stop you from watching and enjoying what many would consider an OVA condensed retelling of the Macross series. It's not part of the deal here, but there is a lot of satisfaction in watching the Robotech series and comparing it to the condense 90 minute remake.

I'm waiting for them to release the HD versions. It could be a long time until those are on sale, so this is still a good deal if you haven't seen the series or are hankering for some nostalgia.

IMO, this series was amazing in overall storyline and drama. Macross being the best while
The other two pieced together a trilogy. Macross is a must watch at the very least

It's worth it just to watch the Zentradi reactions to the PG kissing scenes.
😩 😣 What is this?!?

Yes, absolutely! You just need to power your way through the second generation.

Hoping one day a movie studio with government levels of cash will pick this up and make a live action movie franchise. I want to see a cyclone on the big screen so bad!
