Synopsis
It's the year 1999, and Earth is embroiled in a Global War that is systematically destroying every country involved. However, the year brings great change in the form of a giant alien spaceship that astronomers have discovered is hurtling towards Earth. It crashes in the South Pacific, on Macross Island, and the world's best scientists devote their skills and knowledge to restoring the technologically advanced battle fortress that has fallen to Earth. Ten years later, Project Robotech has been completed, and the SDF-1 is ready for its maiden voyage. Unfortunately, the SDF-1 has attracted a Zentraedi armada, who wants to claim the ship as their own. As a result, a series of wars begin that threaten to devastate the Earth. An involving and exciting space opera that has been immensely popular since its release, ROBOTECH is a landmark Animé. This collection includes all 36 episodes of the MACROSS SAGA.

Customer Reviews

Brilliant! Even better than I remember it!
If you grew up watching Robotech, and the adventures of Lisa, Rick Hunter and Minmei then this is the box set for you. Or if you have never watched Robotech then this is a good way to start as it tells the first, and most interesting, part of the Robotech saga.

All of the original 36 episodes have been remastered so it actually looks better than the original TV series. The sound is sometimes a little bit up and down, but on the whole the 5.1 works really well.

There are minimal extras with this set, but the 6 DVDs will keep you entertained for quite a while, or if you are like me, exactly the amount of time it takes to watch 36 episodes back to back.
