    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      The codename for the Macross bridge is Gunsight One. Gunsight One was a Gundam fan club founded by some of the staff members (such as creator Shoji Kawamori and character designer Haruhiko Mikimoto), mecha and anime fanatics on their own right.
    • Goofs
      Due to the fact that at least three studios of wildly varying quality worked on each episode simultaneously, many minor continuity errors and animation inconsistencies (for instance in Ep. 3 "Spacefold" where the escape pod under Roy's Valk every so often switches to a gunpod) crop up in each episode.
    • Quotes

      Max Jenius: Wonderful. Bust, 83 cm. Will expand when unwrapped.

    • Crazy credits
      The original showing of the pilot episode had a different beginning, not revealing the transforming capabilities of the Valkyries in order to give the audience a suprise. The opening was changed to the regular one for all further showings.
    • Alternate versions
      The first two episodes were originally edited in to one hour-long episode for the show's premiere on 5 October 1982 in the Osaka region. The opening of the show was changed to avoid any shots of Hikaru in a Valkyrie or the Valkyrie's "Battroid" (full robot) mode.

    Don't forget the 2006 ADV DUB!

    Many fans dislike the Robotech version of Macross, but there is a more faithful, official English dub out there, and it's pretty great! If you're not a subtitle fan or just want one more way to experience this awesome show, check out the ADV dub from the mid-2000s! If you can't locate an original copy, there are plenty of unlicensed copies on certain giant auction websites :)
