| Macross / Robotech I grew up as a kid watching the Robotech series by Harmony Gold. Even today the cool story line, the characters, music & battles impress me. Last week I bought Macross Plus the Movie & Episodes DVD, Macross 2, & Ghost in the Shell. Even though their animation & visuals were superior to the older Robotech, their story, music & action did not impress as much as the original Robotech series. I was thinking about getting Robotech Sentinels & Gundam Endless Waltz, but now I’m not sure if I will like them either and I don’t want to go out and waste money. Any opinions? What’s the best site to find out about all the Robotech / Macross movies, in existence? The ones I know of are: Original Robotech Series – Harmony Gold – 1984 I think? Robotech Sentinels Macross Macross 2 Macross Plus Movie Macross Plus Episodes Does Gundam - Endless Waltz movie DVD, feature the cool soundtrack Gundam – Rhythm Emotion that you can hear in the intro of Gundam - Endless Duel game on the SNES? It sucks that they removed it from the 2 PSX versions of the game. Any answers to my queries will be appreciated Thanks in Advance. |

| Ive yet to get Macross 2 but ive got the Macross Plus and Macross Movie on DVD box set from HMV and they are *superb*. The movie is just a non-digitally enhanced and slightly cut version of the series though. Ghost in the Shell is a timeless classic, if you like that you will *LOVE* the TV series which is about 5 years newer although isnt out on DVD in the west yet but you can get fansubs to tide you over. I dont like sig pics so i turn off sigs  Which doesnt help when i dont know what ive written here! DOH! |

| I've not seen any of Robotech or Macross but this site has a decent amount of reviews of anime (both movies and series). http://carnage.fanfic.org/reviewsindex.html It might have the information your after. |

| I think that GITS was a bit too over rated, it was good, but not that good. Episodes however are good (my opinions here ppl). I think there are something like 30 or so eps (not all availble on divx yet), maybe more or less i was reading on some anime site. If i come across it again ill post it. |

| the macross 2 movie (think its known an super dimensional fortress macross in english) is terrible in my opinion, its prety boring and a love story, plus the ending is imho, one of the worst endings to any film ever. steer clear of this one |

| Not really, up towards the end they kinda explain everything about the whole stand alone complex scenario and micromachine industries and the corruption in power and disease etc. It gets VERY powerful (i ended up shouting at the computer cause i fancy the major  ) towards the end. I dont like sig pics so i turn off sigs Which doesnt help when i dont know what ive written here! DOH! |

| oh, just remembered as well, i think there was a series macross 7 (don't think there was a 3-6 though, it was called 7 for some plot reason) never seen it though, macross 2 really put me off, although macross plus was pretty good |
