What Is Robotech Anyway?
The very basics
Robotech
is a cartoon that aired in 1985. Simply put, it is a story of an alien
invasion that becomes very complex. The series covers 85 episodes that
are split into 3 different "wars", The Macross Saga, The Masters,
and The New Generation. Robotech is hearld as a uniquie cartoon for the
fact it brought new concepts to cartoons in the United States like Death,
Love, and War.
The not so very basics
Robotech
is actually 3 different cartoons: Super Dimensionsal Fortress Macross,
Super Dimensional Calvary Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber Mospeada.
All three cartoons were made in and aired seperately in Japan in the early
80's. The reason they were put together and aired here in the United States
as Robotech is that U.S. shows have to be longer (have more episodes) here.
Harmony Gold (a U.S. company) bought the rights and had Carl Macek write
a new story to tie all three series together. The results was Robotech!
The phenomenon know as Robotech!
