Would you rather pay $250? If you coupon it, that $200 price tag could go down to $150. Now go buy it. What is this coupon you speak of? And where can I get one!!

All this talk of how much better the Macross series is compared to the Robotech version has me wanting to see it. What I don't want is to pay the 200 dollar price tag that I saw for the DVD set. But as it is with all obsessions, money quickly becomes no object.

Forgive me if this has been answered before. And I know it has since every question ever thought has an already told answer. But, is there an English version of DYRL? I already ordered the Perfect Edition DVD from the Valkyrie Exchange and I'm sure I'll love it even if I have to read but it would be cool to hear it in my native tounge as well. I once saw Macross Plus on satelite at my brother's house and it was in english. It was on the Action channel and from my searching the movie was only subbed. Were they per chance showing the OVA instead? I plan to get both just cause though. Now from reading some older threads I notice a lot of people saying that for someone seeing DYRL? without seeing the original series will be semi lost. I've never seen Macross the series, only Robotech which I love, but I have read and understand the differences between them. IE: Robotech is censored and dumbed down a bit for a younger audience as well as some plot points, the difference between Protoculture etc... Will I be lost or will I enjoy the film? Again thanks for the info and I'm trying to get my friends hooked as well.

Kawamori wants greatly to never touch them again. Nothing mroe has been animated aside from DYRL(a semi-retelling of the original series) and Flashback 2012(a collection of music videos, basically. It carries us through to the launch of the Megaroad 1). The short version is... Hikaru marrries Misa. Hikaru, Misa, and Minmay leave on the Megaroad 1 colony mission, with Misa as captain(and why she let Minmay aboard I'll never know). They disappear near the center of the galaxy, never to be seen again. That really sucks. That was one of the parts I most identified with, struggling with feelings of love and not knowing what to do. Anyway enough of me being all sensitive. I've ordered DYRL and I'm going to pick up Macross Plus the movie version on my next day off. This board has been a great resource already and I think I found the toy I want. The Yamato 1/48 scale Max Super VF-1J. Is that a good one to buy? Max was kinda always my favorite character and blue is my favorite color.

An OVA is a straight-to-video animation. OVAs usually have higher animation budgets and timescales than TV animations, so are generally of higher quality. For the differences between RT and Macross, you can look in this helpful thread. Wow, you guys are awesome. Looks like I will be ordering some DVD's soon. Thanks a lot for your help. I know FYE at the mall has Macross Plus the movie for sale, I might go pick that up to tide me over if I order the Macross series.

Thank you so much for the quick reply. Now a very noob question. What is an OVA? I feel like a moron now. Does the story between Macross and Robotech vary greatly or is it basically the same besides RT setting up the later episodes? I'm wondering if I should try to get the Macross saga on DVD as well or just stick with the RT version and get DYRL. Also any preferred places to get these DVD's or toys? Again I appreciate the welcome and the help.

This is my first post and I would like to say hi first of all. Second of all I am starting to get back into anime and I love, no matter how much it is frowned upon here, Robotech. I haven't seen any more than the Macross saga and I almost don't care to. I love the mecha designs in the Macross saga and the characters. Are there any more series or movies that include Rick(Hikaru), Lisa(Misa), and Minmei? I would really like to know what happens between Rick and Lisa in the future. I have seen one Macross movie, I don't know the name, in which there were 2 competing designs of new mecha and something to do with a concert. I saw it when I was little and don't remember a lot of it. I would like to experience all that is Macross if at all possible. I have an old Jetfire toy that was my brothers but it's pretty beat up. I would be interested in getting a Max style VF, any ideas where to get one? Sorry if these are too noobish questions but I thought I would ask. Thanks and I hope to stick around a while!!
