Robotech - Final Conflict (Vol. 6)
Editorial Review:
Amazon.com
The Lisa-Rick-Minmei romantic triangle plays out against the threat of rebel Zentraedi captain Khyron and the distant menace of the Robotech Masters, who created the Protoculture. The climactic battle pits the SDF-1 and the new SDF-2 commanded by Lisa against Khyron. Lisa and Rick discover their true feelings for each other in the aftermath of the disaster. Members of Gen-X who grew up on Robotech will delight in retracing the affections and battles; viewers accustomed to the faster pacing and more dramatic conflicts of recent anime will grow impatient with the endless shilly-shallying. It's a classic of sorts. Unrated; suitable for ages 8 and up: Mild violence restricted to spaceship and robot battles. --Charles Solomon

The lives and loves of these beleaguered survivors form the backdrop to an ultimate showdown for the fate of mankind.

Hmm.......2002-08-10
Robotech forever! But, there are better 80's anime's outhere, like Thundersub, Jace and the Wheel Warriors, Transformers, Saber Riders, Macron 1!..... Who don't these get propper DVD's?
The thrilling conclusion to one of the greatest sagas ever.......2002-06-21
Top-notch Anime - Volume VI.......2002-02-05
This is one of my favorite anime series. However, I can only rate this DVD as a "3" for two reasons. First, concerning the DVD construction, the main menu begins with a brief clip from the series without any actual menu selections immediately available, which can cause confusion for some users. Secondly, and by far the most significant downfall, this DVD is NOT compatible with the PlayStation2, whereas the first DVD in the series worked flawlessly with the PS2.
The Dramatic Conclusion..........2001-10-17
Robotech was the most popular of the Americanized Japanese anime series to hit American TV waves during the 1970s and 1980s (along with Star Blazers, Voltron, Transor Z, etc.) Known for its cutting edge animation, high tech battle scenes, futuristic weapons (planes, tanks, motorcyles that transform into robots), cool alien invaders, and realistic and compelling storylines, Robotech swept an entire generation and helped put Japanese Anime forever on the map of American pop culture.
Set in the 21st century, Robotech's sweeping saga spanned three generations, weaving together three separate actual Japanese anime series. The basic story premise is that the earth became forever changed when a mysterious alien battleship crashed on earth. The people of the world, now knowing that they are not alone in the universe, end all wars and unite to understand and assimilate the advanced technology and prepare for the inevitable alien invasion that is sure to come. As the story unfolds mankind would go on to become embattled in an intergalactic struggle, battling three separate alien races over the next 60 years. The sweeping intergalactic saga itself though, merely becomes the backdrop of a deeper "human" saga.
This volume chronicles the dramatic conclusion of the first season - The Macross Saga. In this volume we see the final resolution to the Zentraedi conflict and the love triangle between Rick, Lisa and Minmei, as well as foreshadowing of events to come. Here are the episodes featured on this DVD:
Episode 31 - Khyron's Revenge: Amidst an angry mob, the Protoculture Chambers are moved to New Detroit. The origins of Robotechnology and the Zentraedi race are finally revealed. Also, Khyron returns - with a vengeance!!!
Episode 32 - Broken Heart: Rick is off to the rescue after Khyron kidnaps Minmei and Kyle.
Episode 33 - A Rainy Night: Despondent over fears of losing Rick to Minmei, Lisa turns to Claudia who shares the woes over her initial courtship with the late Roy Fokker...
Episode 34 - Private Time: DOH!!! Rick stands up Lisa for a rendezvous with Minmei. Plus, more Zentraedi rebellion.
Episode 35 - Season's Greetings: Low on protoculture Khyron attacks on Christmas. Also, lost and with nowhere to go, Minmei moves in with Rick.
Episode 36 - To The Stars: The dramatic conclusion to the Macross Saga. Khyron's final offensive, Lisa's new assignment and Rick's final decision: Lisa or Minmei??? Plus, a sign of things to come.
Be aware that these volumes DO NOT have special DVD features (aside from trailer ads for other anime series coming out on DVD from ADV). Not to fear though. If you purchase the boxed set collections, each boxed set collection will come with an "Extra: Elements of Robotechnology" DVD special which will contain all the DVD special features you could want on DVD: interviews, trailers, commercial spots, specs, etc... So by all means, get the boxed set if you are planning on buying.
Robotech is BY FAR one of THE BEST animation products EVER. If you've never seen Robotech, simply put YOU MUST. The action and the drama are compelling, clearly showing why Robotech became a pop culture icon. It is the series that forever put Japanese anime on the map in the US. If you did grow up with Robotech, give these a watch again. They're great for a trip down memory lane. Honestly, watching these episodes now I can honestly say that they are better than I remember. You can't lose!!!
