unmc2001 Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have never seen any of the tv episodes or movies so would this set be a good one to get for an introduction to Robotech/Macross series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechatek Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Your best bet would be the Animego (Japanese with subtitles) or ADV (English dub and Japanese). You also posted this question in the wrong forum so expect it to either be locked or moved to it proper forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unmc2001 Posted August 11, 2008 Author Share Posted August 11, 2008 Sorry about posting in wrong section. Mod can move if you will. So the original Japanese release of Macross would be recommended over Robotech is what you are saying? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JsARCLIGHT Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I have a feeling nearly everyone here will recommend the original Japanese shows (SDF: Macross, SDC: Southern Cross and GC Mospeada) over their Robotech equivalents. Watching the Robotech versions is like watching translated, edited and in some cases rewritten versions of the original shows. It depends on what your tastes are but I personally prefer the originals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF5SS Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 You could probably get all three originals pretty cheaply. I was able to get Southern Cross and Mospeada for about fifty dollars. Also, I've heard ADV is making a double pack of Mospeada and Southern Cross for about that much. It's quite a deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifbeat Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) Remember: Only anything that has to do with "Macross Frontier" gets as many topic as it wants. =) j/k Edited August 11, 2008 by fifbeat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jenius Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 (edited) You can get "Robotech The Complete Collection" on DVD and it's the exact episodes as they aired way back in 1985. Since there have been a few slightly altered DVDs since then you could probably get the entire Robotech series for like $30 that way. For an extra $20 you get a better picture (I think they used cleaned up Macross footage) and updated sound effects with the Protoculture Edition. That will get you well indoctrinated into Robotech and it's kinda screwy lore. The original series (which are better than their adapted Robotech brethren, especially Southern Cross) will probably run you close to $100 to get but has better music and sturdier plots. You can get the original Macross for $40 and Genesis Climber Mospeada and Southern Cross will both run you around $25 each.

Hoptimus Posted August 12, 2008 Share Posted August 12, 2008 I am going to close this as the answers are here and if he had searched would have found many similar threads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
