Just started watching Iczer-3 via Iczer-3: Hyper Blowing-up Box (1990) [POLH-2016~21]. It's a nice box set. great book included with tons of pictures. Seems like it will be a fun show.

Sad, but hardly surprising. still, as i had already largely predicted, "Multi" here was easily the best character in the show by far...

On my quest to relearn Japanese and watch all my unsubbed anime LDs I rewatched the Animeigo DVD box sets of Macross TV with subs over the last few weeks.
The idea has been to study Japanese JLPT 4 vocab flashcards before work, watch Macross after work and try to pick up sci fi and military vocab during the episodes, as well as the vocab I've been learning. This is supposed to prepare me to watch Gundam on LD (of which I have all the Universal Century stuff except the original TV series and the 0083 episodes.)
I just finished the last episode of Macross last night and I think by the end of the show I was just enjoying it so damn much I wasn't paying too much attention to vocab. It truly is a classic, classic show. The pacing is just perfect, even the tacked on extra arc is gold to me. Enjoyed it so much. Sure the animation is inconsistent but there is so much gorgeous animation mixed in, and I'd forgotten how much in the last arc, that it does not need reanimating in a "Macross the First" project or whatever imo. Actually the animation style that would show up in Do You Remember Love? begins to present itself in the last few episodes in the way the characters are rendered. Minmay looks more gorgeous than ever in a number of scenes. It's cool too because the characers are supposed to be a couple of years older so it makes sense they look a bit different. I'd forgotten about the quality of some of the animation in later episodes and glad I now fully appreciate it.
The recolorisation by Animeigo is irritating to me, I prefer the Japanese LD Memorial Box's original more washed out presentation, the Animeigo seems artificial, well, because it is..however my Japanese isn't at the level yet to just watch and enjoy the LDs so my trusty Animeigo set I've had since the early 'oughts is worthy..

SDF MACROSS was my Gateway Anime, like many/most others, via it's ROBOTECH "localization" technically, it started when one of my nephews gave me his very poorly finished IMAI/REVELL ROBOTECH DEFENDERS "VEXAR" somewhere around 1989/1990. he gave it to me in a plain cardboard box, and i had absolutely no idea what it was, only that it was a cool transformer; some years on, in 1994/'95, my dad took me to a hobby shop, where they had a good shelf of Mecha kits, and this leapt right out at me, i had to have it; not long after, i followed my folks into a SUNCOAST VIDEO, proceeded to stumble onto the Anime section, came across the ubiquitous FHE dual-episode ROBOTECH VHS vols. of the time, and finally made the connection. we were limited of means, back then, and, and $15.00 per dual-episode tape, i was only ever able to afford to compile the first several vols. of "THE MACROSS SAGA" still and all, it cemented me down the road i continue down today, picking up the MANGA VIDEO MACROSS II and PLUS "MOVIE" compilations along the way, among others. today, i've enjoyed the occasion to see the original raw SDF MACROSS, but only via this HONG KONG BOOTLEG DVD set, with OK video quality, and an "English" subtitling job that is nothing short of hilarious. Someday, i really ought to acquire a proper, legitimate SDFM set, but damn of they aren't overpriced, at least to me. in the meantime, this textual Hyuk-Fest serves me well enough;

After realizing that Robotech was a butchering of three completely different series, I just could not stand watching something that disrespected artistic integrity. Anyway, moving on, I have been watching Knights of Sidonia on Netflix. Took me something like 3/4 of the first season to finally understand the plot better but now I’m hooked.

Putting three shows into one was the only way they could have sold those shows in the US at that time. I don’t hold the original concept in contemp. What HG has done in the subsequent decades is unforgivable though.

That's pretty cool, tasuke. Macross is a favorite of mine and it's a shame we won't see more US releases.

Putting three shows into one was the only way they could have sold those shows in the US at that time. I don’t hold the original concept in contemp. Yeah the "Macross saga" was remarkably faithful to the original. As I was rewatching Macross I often wondered if they REALLY left some parts in Robotech and low and behold about the only thing edited out is Minmay's a**. I mean in ep 35 a rogue Zentraudi sticks his rifle into an office block and straight up blows away a bunch of office workers, including women. Yep, it was all left in Robotech Macross really was an incredible show, imperfect and inconsistent in animation quality but superlative at times. Better than anything before or anything after. Great story, pacing and characters. Didn't talk down to the viewer but was still fun. I hope it doesn't get reanimated. Tasuke, your HK bootleg set might do you well if you don't like Animeigo's recolouring as I tend not to.

Their legal strongarming over anybody that even remotely breaches their supposed "copyright" is what earns them all the hate they get. Although to be honest, another reason we're not getting a licensed version of Macross 7 has to do with equal amounts of greed on the behalf of the Japanese licensors, if the stories I've heard are true.
