The entire original saga is available on youtube. http://www.youtube.com/show?p=6VWyXFZ6aFI&tracker=show_av Episode 1 Full: ( Recognise the SC2 battlecruiser voice acting anyone? ). So gooooooood.
Yeah i agree, my sig is more of a troll then an expression of my love for it. Not heard of Robotech, ill check it out. I'm a fan of anime but a noob when it comes to series, I mostly watch films. But this is worth a watch I take it.
TLDR version, in the 70s Carl Macek convinced Harmony Gold to bring over a bunch of anime series and retell them ( not just a dub, rewritten story/etc ). It's one of the few well done western anime products as a result. You can find the original japanese series as well ( super Dimension Fortress Macross ), but the whole original Macek done series is free on youtube, so it's an easy way to get people into it without making them download torrets/etc
it's in english wadafak! i saw only original superdimensional fortres macross and newest macross frontier. but i'm not a fan, i think gundam series is better. still, anime in english is awkward
