Well..... I own the first box set and have never seen the 15th anniversary in person. According to google translate on my phone, the booklet in the first box set says that the episodes have been remastered to the best technology at the time. I'm sure there is some sort of remastering done to the 15th but it could also use the same masters. on the first box set, the first episode is from what I can remember on one disc in CAV and there is another episode in CAV later on in the series, can't remember why. From what I remember the box and sleeves of the first box set are much cooler with that foil hologram on the box but all seem to have some type of rippling. Mine was taken off and reglued and over time it flattened and looks great now. I always wanted to get both but then again why do I need to own 2 of the same thing, then again I've always thought about selling it and getting the USA DVD as they have English and my Japanese is about 1% or less

I never had a phone card with mine, it was also I though too old to have a phone card. Space Cobra the TV series has a phone card and ?? That Tezuka samurai anime had a phone card. But man I remember when people were stupid about collecting those, now where are they

hmm, good idea, I might try this with mine. Quote: I've always thought about selling it and getting the USA DVD as they have English and my Japanese is about 1% or less Don't sell the LDs, they are a real reference. Get the DVDs to enjoy the show but keep in mind the Animeigo DVD remaster is unnaturally recoloured/"remastered". Everything looks bright but it never looked that way. Alternatively watch the LDs raw and reference the MAHQ sypopses of each episode. A couple of eps in the LD set are in CAV because they contain arguably the greatest TV anime sequences ever animated.

But man I remember when people were stupid about collecting those, now where are they I looked through mine more closely. The one I have is Macross: Super Dimension Fortress: 15 Years Anniversary Memorial Box (1982) [BELL-1036] and while that is pretty late for the phone card fad (by 1997 mobile phones had killed phone cards and phone card collecting, from what I remember) it does indeed come with one. It has CG art on it of 4 VFs. Also included are a papercraft VF-1J and a 12x12 booklet of interviews. Aside from the papercraft VF I'd bet all of this is exclusive to the 15th version. We should compare the omake. Does yours have the SD opening?

thanks a lot guys you are an asset ok so I have just realized the first box might not have a booklet, like the 15th anniversary one? I was looking at present and past Yahoo auctions and that seems the case though I can see a special "PLUS 1" disc, whatever that might be for example: https://page.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/q281746092@rein-o are you 100% positive you have a big booklet coming with yours? generally speaking I don't care much about stuff like phonecards, figures, etc.. but booklets and in general paper items (leaflets, chirashi..) are a big things to me

cool thanks a lot for clarifying that well I guess I will just have to snatch the 15th anniversary ed. at this point, though I liked the art for the 1st box better there is one available but too overpriced atm

Its the full series of the version with English dub along with subs and Japanese dialog. There were credits at the end and its an amazing bootleg of the one release, I thought it was the ADV maybe its the bootleg of the other release. There are 2 releases on DVD I know of and this is the bootleg of one of them. I think I only paid around 20 bucks or less, I get to enjoy the subs and enjoy the LD as that's the best.
