I have never heard of such thing.
Now Macross?
Yeah, I know Macross.

My brother, in his 40's, was a big fan of it. Has some novels and shit. I have no idea what it's about other than it's somehow related to macross.

Macross Plus is one of the greatest works of animation to ever grace this terrible world.
Robotech is okay.

Robotech got me into the Macross franchise so IMO it's a good gateway to anime for the curious.

Is Macross still fucked by bizarrely hideous licensing bullshit? Last I heard a few years ago Macross was finally getting officially licensed in the West but I haven't seen the franchise get any installments in ages.

Not worth watching since they censored all the naked loli scenes from Mospeada

It was hilarious how well they were able to combine the shows because they were so generic

I recently rewatched the Masters Saga and it's the one that suffered the most butchering; the narrator had to do a lot of the heavy lifting because the scenes did not flow in any coherent fashion; and having Zor being dubbed like a man then a woman and then a man again was a clear indication that I was not picking up how much of a mess this was when I first watched it; amongst many other issues.

It's the equivalent of having to assemble a jigsaw puzzle with 3 different sets of pieces; good luck getting anything out of it. The fact that the series as a whole has something that resembles a plot that you can at least follow was a miracle then and still is now.

Really makes me wonder what the end-product would be like if 7, Frontier, and Delta also got the Robotech treatment. What other mecha shows would Harmony Gold have used to pad it out?

Looking back its wild how much each installment is an indicator of anime trends of the time.

The obvious candidate was Orguss, though it probably required even more changes to adapt it to the protoculture macguffin they had to create.

Weird, because all 3 series came out between 1982 and 1984.

Oh we just talking Robotech then nvm. I meant Macross as a whole.

Next macross series will probably have vtubers.

It was cool watching Megazone 23, which is what one of the Robotech movies was based on. I think the 3 movie really encompasses the 80s production scene really well
>first one is good quality nothing crazy like the early 80s coming out of the 70s
>second one is high production quality, peak 80s OVA
>third one is really bad quality, bubble has popped

It's certainly a series. Unfortunately it's impossible to talk about Robotech without talking about Harmony Gold being a bunch of assholes. Seeing anything original made for Robotech like the comics or animations is like stepping into another universe.

Southern Cross required less changes than they made. If they had just kept Epsilon Eridiani as the setting instead of moving it to Earth, they wouldn't have to remove the second moon from every shot.
