I wanna talk about HK's Macross release - Vinny - 03-14-2003

OK, I just got mine. I don't know why people are going around saying these are the worst subtitles they've ever seen and couldn't understand a bit. They're not, so far. I've watched the first 2 discs of the show. The subtitles are perfectly understandable. As a matter of fact, they're are probably better then most HK subs. Peopel calling these Engrish and stuff have it wrong.
There are hardly any name changes, unlike the AnimeLib.com review says. it states names are the CHinese ones. Few of them are. Practically all the main cast's names are correct. I'd say 90% are. Kakazaki's got screwed and Misa's is wierd (it's sort of correct). And then there's the mispelling of names, but those are easy to understand too.
I'd just thought I'd clear this up. I'll right a full review for it when I'm done, but the I think the reviews on this site don't give this release enough credit. Hell, they even sub the opening song with awesome English lyrics.
Just wanted to clear that up. And one more thing. Macross's credits are the freakiest thing I have ever seen in an anime. Tongue

I just finished Disc 3, subs are the same quality. I blew off all plans tonight to finish watching this series. It's SOOOOOO good ^_^

Is the Robotech 3 disc sets the same as the ~Animego ones except dubbed?


I wanna talk about HK's Macross release - Vinny - 03-16-2003

First thing first. Yakumo, no, Robotech is not just Macross dubbed. It's pretty much one of those cut up jobs you'd see on Fox of Kids WB. Some name changes, story change to combine two other sereis with it, edits, etc.
I finished the sereis Smile Smile Smile Sub quality is the same through out the whole series: great! Perhaps I got a new version they released or something, but I don't see what people are talking about with all this impossible to read stuff. It was great release.
I wrote a review. SHould be up by tomorrow morning if it's OK Smile My set was the one by Anime Cartoon Int. (MAC, right?) if you're wondering which to pick up. Got it off AnimeLib.com, too Smile
I just have to add, too, this has to be one of the greatest animes, if not, shows I have ever seen in my life.
