Shibo is right, about the Americanization of Macross when it became Robotech, but if it wasn't for Robotech, most Americans wouldn't even have known what anime was back in 85 and 86, so you have to respect Carl Mack for what he did with those three series and for what he did with Streamline video. The reason they picked up Southern Cross and Mospedea was because Macross was not a long enough series to run on American TV, the way seasons of cartoons were done back then. Now I grew up watching Robotech so I bought the DVDs, but I also own the Macross set by Animeigo, check them both out if you can afford the animeigo set, but no matter what you won't be let down.
