The year is 2031 and following the defeat of the Robotech
Masters by Earth's Robotech Force headed by Dana Sterling's
15th Tactical Squad, the planet faces a new threat. The spread
of the Protoculture spores across vast swathes of the Earth's
surface has not gone unnoticed. The mysterious alien race
known as the Invid - arch enemies of the Robotech Masters
- launch a full scale invasion of Earth. The remaining inhabitants
of the planet must struggle to survive against the new alien
threat. With only a rag-tag collection of guerrilla fighters
to defend them, the survivors can only pray for the return
of the long forgotten Robotech Expeditionary Force (REF) to
save them from total annihilation...
The
original transforming robot series, Robotech almost single-handedly
introduced anime to the Western world and sparked the transforming
robot phenomenon of the 1980s. Now the Robotech saga enters
its final chapter in Robotech: New Generation - Volume
1, the first of two DVD volumes that together will complete
the epic 85 episode series.

of the the Robotech series. The stories in this season
of the show take place between the years 2031 to 2044.
The
Third Robotech War begins as the Invid arrive on Earth in
an event known afterwards as the Invid Invasion. This series
opens with the armies of the Southern Cross, weary from the
war with the Robotech Masters, having to defend themselves
against the battle-hungry Invid invaders. Needless to say,
the inhabitants of planet Earth soon becomes slaves. Some
ships manage to leave Earth before the invasion and head out
to rendevous with the Robotech Expeditionary Force (REF) with
the intention to return to Earth to liberate it from Invid
control.
features
12 digitally remastered episodes (61 to 72 of the ongoing
saga) with new opening and closing credits and including extended

It's
more of the same for Robot fans, as our heroes fight to save
humanity from extinction.
An
entertaining collection that will impress new and old anime
fans alike.
