Old but fun anime
I first heard about Robotech before I had ever heard of anime and is a series that I have always been interested in seeing despite some of the bad things I have heard about it. This first Robotech series follows Rick Hunter and the crew of the SDF-1 as they are drawn into a war with an advanced alien race.

This is the first mecha anime series that I have watched and despite its faults I would definitely look into this genre of anime some more. The series itself does suffer from many of the problems of westernised anime of this period such as a mediocre vocal cast, an over reliance on stock footage, a terribly annoying narration and changes made from the original Japanese series (Super Dimension Fortress Macross) that alienates many anime purists. The animation is good, if not great, for the age of the series although as this is the first I have watched of the series I do not know how much of that is due to the remastering that this boxset has undergone. Personally I greatly enjoyed much of the series and although the quality does dip somewhat in the final third, I feet that the story was well written and greatly engaging. Overall I feel that when taken on its own merits Robotech: The Macross Saga is definitely worth watching despite its faults.

Brilliant! Even better than I remember it!
If you grew up watching Robotech, and the adventures of Lisa, Rick Hunter and Minmei then this is the box set for you. Or if you have never watched Robotech then this is a good way to start as it tells the first, and most interesting, part of the Robotech saga.

All of the original 36 episodes have been remastered so it actually looks better than the original TV series. The sound is sometimes a little bit up and down, but on the whole the 5.1 works really well.

There are minimal extras with this set, but the 6 DVDs will keep you entertained for quite a while, or if you are like me, exactly the amount of time it takes to watch 36 episodes back to back.
