I don't know what the hell you're smoking..<p>But SDC:SC was not a sequel to the original macross. Neither was Mospeada. They were stand alone series. <p>Also, Macross 2 and Plus are direct sequels to Do you Remember love.. For the main fact of the SDF-1's arms.<p>SDF:M has the original AC arms, not the ARMD ones. At the end of Macross, the earth is to devastated to pick up a 3000 meter ship in robot mode, reattach new arms in GRAVITY and retrofit the whole damn thing to match 2 and plus.<p>Also, Megaroad is only a Flashback 2012 item, which is a music video combining footage from DYRL with SDF:M. <p>Here, you want proof the robotech was better than the japanese in 1985? I'll link you to a interview with one of the 4 script writers, Greg Snegoff.<p>The interview:<p>http://www.shadowchroniclesnews.com/snegoff.html<p>Here is the except. Read closely.<p> <blockquote><br>SCN: In regards to the way you translated the original Japanese dialogue, were you given the original scripts or translations? How close did you choose to stay to the original Japanese dialogue? <p> <p>GS: This is not going to make hardcore anime’ fans happy but frankly the original Japanese dialogue was not up to our standards. In fact, afterwards, we received compliments from the Japanese who thought our dialogue and stories were better than the original. Things have changed since then but the animators tended to pay far more attention to visual aspects than to sound, including dialogue. <p></blockquote> <p>Robotech was far better than the original series. Trust me, I've seen the other 2. <p>Also.. The interview goes on to explain how they did such a monumental undertaking in 7 months, and how they couldn't find writers, because of the crappyness of the scifi writers at the time. The japanese couldn't even translate a damn thing right! So they wrote to SILENT copy. It matches the original SDF:M dialogue almost eerily. <p>P.S. The reason ADV got the rights was because they put out the Robotech DVD's. They also did the remastered ones of the original series, since HG held those rights. HG won't let ADV redub something already dubbed, nor resub it, cause then AnimEgo's sub was a waste of money. <br><p>[size=small][Edit by Lord Khyron on [TIME]1122163733[/TIME]][/size]
