Super Dimension Fortress Macross Vol.1 DVD + ARTBOX Rare Set NEW SEALED

Description: New, still sealed from 2006. Beautiful collectors' artbox. From the studio: Americans knowSuper Dimension Fortress Macross(Chojiku Yosai Macross, 1982) as the first of the three series that were combined to createRobotechin 1985. (The others wereGenesis Climber MospeadaandSuper-dimensional Cavalry Southern Cross). Although there are story differences betweenRobotechandMacross, the basic plot remains the same: a gigantic derelict spaceship crashes on an island in the Pacific, changing the course of human history. After a decade of restoration, the Earth forces re-launch the flying fortress now called the Macross, just as the alien Zentraedi attack, hoping to recapture their ship and its long-lost technologies. For this reissue, ADV prepared a new translation and English dub. These actors offer performances that are livelier and less stilted than the casts ofRobotechand the previous version ofMacross. Vic Mignogna makes brash young pilot Hikaru Ichijo more likeable and his relationship with his ex-trainer Roy Fokker (Brett Weaver) more believable. Mari Iijima, the original Japanese Lynn Minmay, re-creates her role in English, but her thick accent doesn't help the already brittle pop-diva in-the-making. ADV has restored the faded visuals, pumping up the color and restoring warm flesh tones to the ghostly white faces. But there are trade-offs: the increased color saturation gives Roy pumpkin orange hair. Ultimately, the historic significance ofSuper Dimension Fortress Macrossoutweighs the quality of its animation, direction, and storytelling. (Rated TV PG, suitable for ages 10 and older: mild profanity; violence restricted to spaceship and robot battles)--Charles Solomon
