This being the first "true" anime I ever saw, it will always hold a special place in my heart. That being said there are many things to love, and a few that haven't taken the years so well. The first thing you might notice is the art style, now considered archaic it has a simple slightly cartoony look to it. That doesn't mean that there is anything wrong with it, just that if you haven't ever watched an anime created before the year 2000, you might be in for a shock. However, the art does not lack in detail, everything from the scenery to the expressions on the characters faces is drawn excellently. Think of the Original Gundam series and you have a general idea of what to expect here. Art style aside everything else about this anime is simply amazing. You'll immediately fall in love with the characters and feel for them as they struggle to understand and survive. The real draws to this anime are the fantastic "mech" (human like robots) designs, and the timeless story. The story has all the makings of a great tale. There is love, anger, adventure,and each episode leaves you wanting to know more about the individuals you meet and the longing to find out if they will make it another day in their struggle. Anyone who loves a good sci-fi story should immediately purchase this series. This collection conveniently has all the episodes for a considerably lower price than buying them separately. I would strongly recommend this to classic anime enthusiasts, sci-fi lovers, or anyone with a sense of romance and adventure.Read full review
I actually bought this for a guy I work with whom I learned was a huge Macross fan. He payed me in advance & I ordered it for him, the case had some wear, but he was pleased with it, and had no problems with the disks. As far as the content on the disks, what else can be said about Macross that hasn't already been said. Robotech - The Macross Saga is one of the greatest and most influential animes of all time.
I wanted to buy Robotech on DVD because some years back I watched it online in its entirety and liked it. While reading about the newest DVD set I came across many negative reviews that said they removed and added new sound effects and other disturbing information. So I started looking for the DVD set previous to the new remastered set... This Set. The menus are good, the video quality is high, the color is good, and the audio is well done. I really like the cover art on the dvd boxes. The episodes continue to play automatically after you choose one which is dangerous to someone like me because I'm already watching like 2 or 3 episodes at a time!! : ) Good set all around and the price of a used set of these is between 25 and 30 right now so we're talking like less than five dollars a dvd. Not bad at all!! Great DVD SetRead full review

I used to ride my bike home from elementary school at break-neck speeds just to watch the intro credits! It’s not as epic as I remember, but I think I missed a few episodes and it was great to watch it all over again... and now my 8 year old is hooked!
