Area88 Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Thanks for clearing it up guys. So episode 1 is available as an dvd extra, while episodes 2 and 3 are only on the original VHS relase. Can someone rip these and upload them onto the net? Even if it's only episode 1, that would be awesome. Quote
Gubaba Posted June 11, 2008 Posted June 11, 2008 Guys, VIDEO TAPE. I have a VHS of Harmoy Gold's original Macross release called Boobytrap, which is the first three episodes dubbed by most of the same actors as Robotech, with a mostly accurate translation though there's some odd naming and word choices (Phaser X weapons, Rick Yamata) and of course the super bad new theme song. There is a DVD in the Robotech Legacy sets and presumably also in the Protoculture Edition that contains ONLY the first episode of this, and not all three that are on the video tape. Yeah, I HAVE the video tape, as I said before, and... Oh, never mind. So the Legacy DVD has only the first episode of HG Macross? That sucks. Quote
fifbeat Posted June 11, 2008 Author Posted June 11, 2008 Cool. Just watched it. Very trippy. =) With the exception of the narration, looks like all the voice acting are the same. That theme song sucks. :/ Quote
Chet Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 And, if you plan to watch it, you have to surivive the horror of the theme song... "Just a pile of rust was all they FOUND on that isle, that no-one expected to see! Ten years later, Super Fortress MACROSS would rise! Guardian of you and of MEEEEEE!" *shudder* Dude, when Macross was dubbed for broadcast in the Philippines, that theme song was used for the ENTIRE series. Quote
Gubaba Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 Dude, when Macross was dubbed for broadcast in the Philippines, that theme song was used for the ENTIRE series. Really...? Gad...I feel for you. Please tell me they didn't use Reva West songs for Minmay... Quote
stray Posted June 25, 2008 Posted June 25, 2008 (edited) Don't really know how I ended up in this thread, but... the ADV Macross 2006 dub disc 1 has the "Rick Yamada" episode 1 on it too. Edited June 25, 2008 by stray Quote
Gubaba Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Don't really know how I ended up in this thread, but... the ADV Macross 2006 dub disc 1 has the "Rick Yamada" episode 1 on it too. In other words, I shouldn't sell my HG videotape anytime soon... Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Dude, when Macross was dubbed for broadcast in the Philippines, that theme song was used for the ENTIRE series. So HG was behind the Philippines dub of Macross? Quote
Chet Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 Really...? Gad...I feel for you. Please tell me they didn't use Reva West songs for Minmay... Nope. Although the dialogue was dubbed in English by Filipino voice actors, the Mari Ijima's renditions of Minmei's songs were left intact. Quote
Chet Posted June 26, 2008 Posted June 26, 2008 So HG was behind the Philippines dub of Macross? You know what, I really don't know either way, but I was always curious why, in the Philippine-made dub, Hikaru was called "Ricky Hunter" while Minmei was called "Maria." Quote
