Somebody mentioned the GameCube game in a topic a few days ago and it made me super nostalgic. I kinda want to check out the series.
I know that Robotech ends up transitioning into two completely unrelated shows because of American syndication shenanigans, but I heard that overall the macross arc isnt that different from the original. So which do I go with? >_> --- #1 Kaiju Fangirl ^_^ https://imgur.com/mptS9Qj ... Copied to Clipboard!

It's not an easy question. But I'd vote Robotech, for the most part. The English voice acting for Robotech is miles above the voice acting for English Macross. Also, unless you're REALLY into Japanese theme music (where the intro sounds like its sung by a Japanese lounge lizard) then I suggest Robotech.
Robotech gets a little dodgy when they try to shoehorn stuff in that's not actually happening (like the SDF2), but overall those instances are pretty minor. Overall, the story is pretty much the same. --- END OF LINE ... Copied to Clipboard!

Macross' problem is it can't decide if it's a mecha anime or an idol anime, it straddles the line too much and it brings down every single series.

Be sure to google the whole Jetfire/Skyfire/Veritech incident. Carl Macek swore in an interview that Hasbro was trying to sabotage the show. I still have the novels from the 90s out in my garage. They're the definitive version of Robotech in my mind. End of the Circle perfectly ends the series, but then Carl decided it wasn't canon so he could try to revive the series. --- END OF LINE ...

Thanks!
So I checked out the Robotech version of episode two. Dat theme song. Oh gosh I'm flashing back to high school and booting up Battlecry on the gamecube. >_> I might stick with Robotech just for the music nostalgia lol. "That sure is a lot of damage, you don't have to pay for it do you?" "I hope not." lmao Oh, Minmi says she has to run back to her house in the middle of a warzone because she left her diary and was afraid someone might read it. This line was so stupid I had to load up Macross just to see if that's what she actually said. The subs on Tubi tv just have her saying "I left something at the house". Still dumb, but at least she's got the benefit of the doubt that it was something actually important. >_> Oh, and this fucking shot right here. This one. This shot. This. https://imgur.com/Q64bN9n I like this --- #1 Kaiju Fangirl ^_^ https://imgur.com/mptS9Qj ... Copied to Clipboard!

That shot gets played a lot in commercials. I believe it makes a come back in a dream sequence too.
Is the English sub version of Macross still available online? I watched it years ago on Hulu. There's also two versions of Robotech online right now (I believe both are on Tubi.) There's the original broadcast version (which I end up watching) and there's the updated version they made like 15 years ago with a better transfer, nudity, and updated graphics. If you finish the Macross Saga then I highly recommend the Invivd Saga as well. The Robotech Masters Saga is the weakest part. It's probably the weakest looking visually and seems kind of disjointed because it's the series that got cut up the worst. But it's not the worst thing in the world. The books do it more justice. --- END OF LINE ... Copied to Clipboard!

AlisLandale 08/14/20 11:59:00 AM #18: |
Yeah, Tubi has Macross. You just need to turn on closed captioning for the English subs.
And thanks. So is the Invid saga the third then? Should I skip the Masters? --- #1 Kaiju Fangirl ^_^ https://imgur.com/mptS9Qj ... Copied to Clipboard!

The Masters storyline becomes really important if you move past the cartoon into like the books. But the books do it WAY more justice. I have a complicated love/hate relationship with the Masters saga because the anime they cut up to make it had an interesting story in itself and while some of that gets brought back into the books, it's just wiped away in the cartoon. Like the Japanese version isn't even set on Earth, it's a colony in deep space. But as a kid you didn't know that, you just sit there wondering when Rick Hunter is going to show back up. As for Macross, I meant that there's an english voice dub version out there somewhere. I meant dub, not sub. --- END OF LINE ... Copied to Clipboard!

You should watch Macross because there are other Macross series too and some are better than the original.

Macross. Robotech is a fucking abomination that steals the footage of several shows and Frankenstein's it together to make their own show. So many people don't give credit to the original work because Harmony Gold has the Macross license and doesn't actually want to distribute the series properly in the west. Harmony Gold is fucking scum and should not be given any credit for their shit practices or for Robotech.

Speaking about ripoffs, early Battletech media had lots of mecha that were direct copies of different mecha shows, including Macross.
That resulted in some lawsuits in the 90s which resulted in the mechas being called The Unseen and dropped. --- GameFAQs isn't going to be merged in with GameSpot or any other site. We're not going to strip out the soul of the site. -CJayC ... Copied to Clipboard!

Here's the ultimate litmus test. Knowing that this is what Macross ultimate evolves into, if you watch that video and think "hell yeah" then you're probably better off with Macross. If you watch that video and nope the fuck out then you're better off sticking with Robotech. --- END OF LINE ... Copied to Clipboard!

The series itself remains the same in future installments. The major changes come with the mech design and the style of music used which usually reflects what was popular during it's creation. Delta which is the most recent series has Walkure as the main unit which uses idol music. The robot fights and singing during battle still remain.
