Fifteen years have passed since the war against Zentraedi
forces, but the peaceful existence of the survivors of that
first alien conflict is eventually shattered by the invasion
of the Robotech Masters. The Masters have come to Earth to
reclaim the Protoculture Matrix. Discovered by mankind decades
ago when the SDF-1 interstellar battle-cruiser crash-landed
on the planet, the Matrix was found to be the source of power
for the mysterious Robotechnology. Now, the people of Earth
must one again defend their home against invading alien forces.
Leading the battle against the Robotech Masters are the courageous
members of the misfit 15th Squadron, headed by Dana Sterling,
the daughter of the ace Veritech pilot Max Sterling, and Zentraedi
pilot, Miriya Parino...
Robotech:
The Masters - Volume 2 features
the final 12 digitally remastered episodes in The Masters
series. An epic sci-fi fable that spans three generations
of human struggle against alien domination, Robotech
is one of the most successful anime franchises of all time.
The series has inspired two animated feature film spin-offs
as well as countless novels, comic books, toys and video games...
so says the press release.
The
saga - that is really about mankind's first contact with warring
alien races, and the use of alien technology to defend Earth
- is told across three chapters, The Macross Saga,
The Robotech Masters (this season), and The New
Generation. Released in 1985, the show was the first anime
series that many fans had seen, and is often accredited as
the cause of the anime fandom that continues to grow today
in the United States.
There's
no doubting that Robotech is an enjoyable, and intelligently
written series. Sadly, Robot stories like these seem to be
a product of the '80s, and it's doubtful whether many of today's
younger generation will embrace this series in the way that
children of the '80s would have.
To
be honest the jury's still out on this one. It is an enjoyable
series, but it's also a little dull in places. If you want
to relive the '80s then you should pick this up.
