Title (English) Robotech

Title (Japanese) -

Advertising
Fantasy Novel

Notes ROBOTECH was an 87-episode English-language US TV series. Robotech was edited and scripted in English from three Japanese TV series by Carl Macek's Streamline company. It's old history now, but Macek, who stoutly defended his adaptation policy, was regarded as the Anti-Christ by purist anime fans, even though Robotech probably turned more people on to anime than any other single event.
The story, which is the root of all subsequent "Macross" series, is about an alien invasion of Earth, and how the invaders are pacified by the power of song.

Synopsis

Review TV episodes 3 to 6 cover some of the same events as the movie MACROSS - DO YOU REMEMBER LOVE; though with an inconsistent continuity, different character names and a sharply contrasting style. The main interest in ROBOTECH other than spotting influences was in following the characters through the 87 episodes. The second volume, featuring Lynn Minmay and her pilot boyfriend, seems more enjoyable than the first three episodes, and still retain a naive charm. The American production was clearly aimed at juveniles, though it had an equally large adult following. The early episodes were previously released in the UK on the "Little Gems" juvenile label. Not many people noticed.

Credits See: Cho Jiku Yosai Macross, Cho Jiku Kidan Southern Cross, Kiko Soseiki Mospeada.
