This is like a few clips from different shows spliced together. I'm surprised people consider it a real series. Part of the reason Macross rights were messed up for so long in the US.

Robotech should be erased from history.

Back in the DMV
i saw way more music and dope media from cartoons to the baltimore night movie.
in bmore,...they had 3d movies on.
[it is only two seven eleven in chicago for reference too....up north...far from the hood. all that new shyt is new it is not indicative of what the hood was on at all. especially incomparison to bmore].
with partnerships with seven eleven. you would go to seven eleven and get the 3d lenses with every slushie you bought.
these were the real hard frame 3d lenses given out in the theatre.
the shyt you had to later only get at disney world.
[the bmore seven eleven 3d frames and lenses were still way way higher quality].
the high quality shyt..all for free for a slushie.

:salute:
Definitely remember the 3d glasses from 711. They used to show the actual old Universal Monster Movies on Fridays. They also were the only ones showing Bruce Lee, and lesser known kung fu films.

mad props on bruce.
they showed bruce here at the chinese theatre in chicago.
you had to go to the movies to see fist of fury still on a screen there.
yet i saw bruce way more on just rego bmore television damn near nightly there in the summer.

in bmore you got to see bruce. which i would rather watch bruce.
than some random samurai showdown at 11pm in chicago.

baltimore was more into bruce than the chi.
as far as airing on regular television.

No.

The domesticated conversion should always be here.
As the japanese subtitled version is not what we had here.

Just like voltron should always exist and if you wanna be a fukk'n nerd.

Then you can go view go lion And dairugger.
Yet voltron and robotech are perfect domestic conversions. That go lion and dairugger needed to be converted and adhere'd to.
In the domestic laws for us to see it.

Granted even Robotech was a sort of stew of a few different things it was one of my first exposures to Anime and me and older cousin convinced the Library to stock them in their video section along with Miyazaki, Akira and some other stuff. Its still a classic to me and of historical importance.

I wanna say....

Rick is asian.
Possibly mixed.
It is just the series is setup in a realm of maturity. You associate rick as being white.
As japanese people consider themselves white.
.lisa is caucasian.
Lisa dead fiance is white.
Lisa's fathwr is white
.claudia is black.
Roy is white.
Rick and roy are not really brothers. Just kindred brothers as rick is his kid brother. Not his real brother.
Commander g is black.
The bridge bunnies are white.
Min mei is chinese i believe. Which is why rick has disconnect and is susceptible to disconnect culturally with kyle.
Kyle is a family friend and maybe japanese.
Ben Dixon is japanese.[which is why he acts an ass and disrespects rick and max early on.]
Max is asian. Maybe mixed asian.

*imo...to make robotech work as a movie.
It would be better to make rick black.
Keep max asian and you can work rhe hair like stormriders.
To eliminate the hair issue with rick.
As it helps to showcase the series better.
I believe the cartoon network michael b jordan cartoon did this dynamic.
So it is a series where it features this and it was alright but it is not macross.

Plus....if you work roy as white.
It better showcases roy coming to rick's father'$ circus. Where now you can have claudia and roy. Where it makes more sense. Plus show the connection roy has with commander g.
Plus the history of roy dating claudia works better. If roy is kept white. As roy is the coolest white boy character of all time ever.

I remember copping the collector's edition with the shirt and shyt. Game was pretty solid and I was hyped as fukk cause it was a robotech game

I mean I did buy the whole media blasters Golion set….. I don’t like stitched together stuff.

I get the nostalgia aspect but I will never watch OG voltron from beginning to end again. Towards the end the story is nonsense.

Stop.



It is the highest drawing best gateway cartoon with morality.
To ever air domestically in american history.

Plus completely produced in the highest quality manner to yield results.
Down to being produced in motown.

No domestic cartoon has ever been what voltron is.
Nuffin.
You talking in internet revision.
Not what really occured.

I own the voltron domestic series in physicals.
I own dairugger and go lion in physicals
macross in the original incarnation in physicals.
the domestic macross incarnations with english.
Do you,... in physicals too.



If you got kids.
You would easily see.
that go lion and dairugger suck and had to be made into voltron.

The sources are only good to watch.
as a revision reference to the past.
Yet when weighed with children in the fold.
Go lion and dairugger are repulsive.

I read all the Robotech novels. They are written very well and are certified classics.

da572-robotech_books_gal.jpg


This game was off the chain



Then you got Mark Hamill aka Luke Skywalker voicing the main character of Shadow Chronicles


And major Hollywood stars who grew up watching Robotech trying to make a movie out of this bytch but steadily running into problems…..

It is what it is.
