you can't use robotech to instead macross!
even I still stay on robotech side but i have say
you will get different feeling when you watch the two anime.
the most the different is MUSIC! backgroud music I mean
the second is robotech have cut a lot and added other 2
Macross music + Japanese let me feel like that I'm watching gundam...
ROBOTECH 's BGM and english language may more fit the video let you feel it's a war movie
but............... minmei's song in ROBOTECH was totally crap!
(except the song in RT2 the only one i like)
============================
my suggestion: if you want macross
go for ADV's release!
http://www.amazon.com/Macross-Super-Dimens...6547&sr=8-3
it have both japanese and NEW 5.1 MACROSS english 5.1 (I like it! some char's performance in english macross were more cool than robotech ver.) but one thing said... no new english song for minmay
