ratz34 Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) Hello all this is my first post. I just want to say that I absolutely love the original Robotech, it's one of my fondest television shows from when I was a kid. I was on robotech.com a few days ago and saw this Macross English dub http://www.robotech.com/store/viewproduct.php?id=242 If I’m not mistaking it a 7 box 14 DVD set. (Only 3 of the boxes are out now) What I’m wondering about is; this Macross series which is / was the original Japanese that made up the first 1/3 of the American series of Robotech. Does this Macross searies follow the original crew after the destruction of the destruction of the SDF-1 in ep 36 "To The Stars� Or does it pick right back up at Dana's Story ep 37? To be honest after the first Robotech ended I never really cared for the rest. Every thing started to shift towards the weird Organic machinery style of Japanimation. I just really love the look and feel of the first Robotech. I currently own the Re mastered edition of the first Robotech and was wondering if I should get this Macross Japanese -> English. If it continues the story of the Original then I don’t care how bad the dubs are I’m getting it, if it does the above. Edited April 13, 2006 by ratz34

Rocket Punch Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Please refrain from using the slur "Jap". "Japanese" has just 5 more letters to it. Don't be lazy.
ratz34 Posted April 13, 2006 Author Posted April 13, 2006 I think I got it now. So "To The Stars" is the end for both the Macross and Robotech series except for the Do you remember love movie. (Which I just got the perfect edition off of eBay) That answered some of my other questions I had as well. I all ways wondered where the SDF-2 was.
ratz34 Posted April 13, 2006 Author Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) Sheesh sorry I fixed it... But I do have to say that this is what I hate most about forums. Replies that don’t progress the original meaning of the post. (Just like this one) Lets drop the political correctness, and talk about the great show of Robotech. Edited April 13, 2006 by ratz34
ratz34 Posted April 13, 2006 Author Posted April 13, 2006 I'll agree if you are referring to episodes 1-36. ) Then it does not matter to me if it's Macross or Robotech. This whole Macross --> Robotech thing is still new to me. Are the Macross versions longer IE have more episodes or is it a 1:1 to Robotech? The link from the post above wasn't all that specific about that. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=228
Rocket Punch Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 Robotech is longer than Macross because Robotech is actually 3 different TV shows spliced together. Check out the other pinned threads too for more info. Welcome to the board, by the way.
ratz34 Posted April 13, 2006 Author Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) Thank you. I realize that my usage of Robotech is incorrect and I apologize. I know that Robotech is 85 Episodes long. When I was saying Robotech I was refering to the first 36 episodes or what I would call chapter 1. What I mean to say is does the original Macross series end with the destruction of the SDF-1 in the Robotech series. I know that in Macross the SDF-1 survives the attack but does it continue the story past that point. Does the story line continue for Rick, Lisa? Or is the movie Do you remember love the continuation past this point. I'm just trying to figure out if I should get the Macross English dub or not since I all ready own the re-mastered editon of Robotech. Edited April 13, 2006 by ratz34
azrael Posted April 13, 2006 Posted April 13, 2006 (edited) I think there are more than enough links on where you should look. We already have a thread on the new dub. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=16425 Edited April 13, 2006 by azrael
