"OMG! Is that the subject of this entry? Really?"
Yeah it is! What? Like none of you actually saw the series before? You know that you did. You all loved it. I just happen to have tapes of most of the crappy American episodes.
So anyways, I was in a mood the other night and decided that it was time to dust them all off and take another look at the anime that started the craze that we live in now. Yes, there was Robotech in the 80's, a series that I truely love and admire, but we all know that if it wasn't for the girl in the too short tu-tu type of uniform we wouldn't have as much anime in Amercia as we do now.
I was surprised to find out that I didn't remember the first season as well as I should have. Hehehe. Well I should say that I didn't remember the early filler episodes. The ones that had more to do with the plot were pretty familiar. What I did find out was that while my brother was watching the tapes, he had inadvertently taped some of the DBZ crap he was watching over my anime. ><
So after watching all the episodes that I could watch, I went online to see if I could find the DVDs. Of course the first place that I went to was Amazon. I visit it often so I knew that they had the boxed set of the uncut first and second seasons. Unfortunately while I was digging for more information on what the actual sets contained, I found that they were actually only the Japane episodes with english subtitles. Gah. "Why 'gah'?" Well because though the American dub was total crap, I would really like a DVD set that has all of them in it too. It's vital when you want to see what is really being said and compare it to what we were subjected to. Hehehe. What is worse is that the ones that do have the english dubs are new ones without the complete original cast. Again, gah! Either way, I can't afford the boxed sets. I did put them on my wish list. But as soon as I see proper boxed sets, I am replacing them with the ones that are on there now.
All in all, it was a good series to start off with. For those that are now in love with the art for that is anime (series, movies, manga, etc.), give props to those series that you once loved. Go back and view them. Relish in the feelings and memories that they bring back. It's all good. ^_^
