Where do I begin, i'm kinda stumped... I say buy Macross Saga Remastered First as Robotech is changed version of the story Then you must get: SDF Macross: Do You Remember Love ? (Superb animation) Macross Plus OVA + The Movie (It is really hard to find an anime better than this in my opinion) Macross Zero Macross II: Lovers Again But if you insist on Robotech I say Robotech (Macross Saga) Remastered Robotech II: Sentinels and skip the rest as I hated Southern Cross very much Quote

What should I buy, theres: Protoculture edition remastered edition Robotech Macross Super Dimension Fortress Genesis Climber Mospeada Movies, series, limited editions, the list goes on and on... Where do I begin, i'm kinda stumped... Macross: - Anime Eigo- Super Dimension Fortress Macross DVD set (Out of Print, but still available around) ~or~ - ADV SDF Macross (Dubbing "takes too many liberties" with the story, mis-pronounce character's names and the Macross name frequently) not recommended, but that doesn't mean you shouldn't buy it. I would recommend you watch the subbed tracks instead of the english dialogue). - Super Dimension Fortress Macross: Do You Remember Love - Perfect Edition FX (Out of Print, but some copies around-beware ebay sellers like Sundevil claim to be selling copies, but they are the run of the mill HK bootlegs, so if you get one don't expect the FX versions quality. Other sellers claim to have it, so be careful. The only one who you can trust is Valkyrie Exchange, but he no longer has any. - Manga Entertainment- Macross Plus OVA's 1 - 4 DVDs (Decent dub of the series) - Manga Entertainment- Macross Plus Movie DVD (Not a recut of OVA series, but a movie version of the series with new scenes not seen in the OVAs- subbed) - Macross Zero - The HK Perfect edition (Has all the episodes on a 2 disc set, available everywhere) [There are fansubbed torrents on the web, so if you wish to download them, you will get superior translations compared to the HK bootlegs. You will have to convert them to DVD format to watch them on your TV] - Anime Eigo- Macross II: Lover's Again DVD (You can watch it either dubbed or subbed) Southern Cross: ADV- Super Dimensional Cavalary Southern Cross series DVD set Mospeada: ADV- Genesis Climber Mospeada series DVD set. Robotech The ADV Remastered Robotech series the Protocultue Edition (has a disc of the RT II: Sentinels premier on it). Edited October 22, 2006 by Zinjo Quote
Hurin Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 I'd add above that the ADV dub of SDF Macross also changes many of the signature sound effects ("buzzsaw gunpod" now gone, etc.) for the 5.1 english dub. And, sadly, the original Japanese stereo soundtrack is far inferior to the one included on the Animeigo release. So, for SDF Macross, if you're a purist and want the best video, original Japanese dialogue w/ great english subtitles, and original (non G.I. Joe) sound effects. . . Animeigo is the only way to go. If you don't mind sending HG some money directly, I believe this is the newest, most readily available boxset of all the entire Animeigo release. And, if I'm not mistaken, that's a darn good price for it! (recently reduced?) Quote
thegunny Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 (edited) You can also try here for the original Macross TV Madman The price is in $AUS so it's not too bad, it's approx $95US + post. You'll need a region free player though. It has 3 booklets with the linear notes, characters, mecha & songs. This one is on 6 dvd's but it's a legit release of Animego's remaster.

How quaint, the RT store is selling the Mac Plus movie DVD (I guess they figure if enough people are fooled into thinking they own the rights to the show, they actually will... ). Manga Ent. will let anybody sell their product... Quote
Hurin Posted October 23, 2006 Posted October 23, 2006 Actually that looks like the old Animeigo release, just repackaged. I know. That's the point. The Animeigo release as one set. For only $99. Quote

I'm pretty sure it's only the Perfect Edition that has both the series and the movie in the one set. Quote
Steve68 Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 I have a pretty badly subtitled version of Macross Zero. I got a bootleg off of ebay, before I had read this thread. Is there a way to replace the subtitles the same way as the DYRL fx dvd? Steve Quote

Steve68 Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 Have you seen the Macross Zero episodes on YouTube? The subtitles are pretty good. In fact compared to what's on my dvd they are a masterwork. I'd like to get ahold of those. Steve Quote
thegunny Posted October 24, 2006 Posted October 24, 2006 I'm refering to whole series It was way too sureal for me Quote
