Macross Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Vol. 1 - Upon the Shoulders of Giants

It was in prime condition and the price was more than reasonable. Thanks alot!

Macross is the original anime conceived before Harmony Gold got hold of it & changed it to Robotech.Being one that grew up watching the latter, felt it was only right to experience the original. Boy was i glad i did!Aside from the unforgettable music of Robotech, Macross reigns supreme as characters are more defined during story telling. Less scenes cut make for a more mature watch, but the magic is still there.A true anime gem & indefinately my favorite of them all.

I ordered the ADV Films version of Macross because the cut version is one of the first anime that I saw. I just got this disc in the mail yeasterday. I wached the dub and I am glad not to hear the Harmony Gold dub. While there is langue, it's nothing you wouldn't hear on tv. I am very happy with the ADV Films dub and would like to see a ADV Films dub for the two other Robotech story arcs.

Yes, my inroduction to Macross was through Robotech. I bought this dvd because I want to see Macross without it being kiddifed. I was going to buy the now-out-of-print Animeigo version, but the Adv Films version was more affordable. While I am a subbie at heart, I appericate the fact that the orinal va for Minmay worked on the ADV Films dub.

The story could be better, but it circles around a stuck on herself kid, who blows off a super kid who is in love with her. [.....]

For anyone who read the books and saw the original Robotech, steer clear of this. They have just used some of the original footage and changed the dialogue. This mess has as little resemblance to the original Robotech as Kingdom of Heaven had to any real event in the Crusades. Buy the original and don't waste your money.If another review before me has said this, listen to him.I wish I had.

I ordered this series after growing bored with the Robotech Series, and its inconsistencies. I ordered this series, and it hasn't disappointed me.

This dvd is great, I could hear the actress that performed Minmay to talk about her character. And the episodes are great!
