It's the year 1999, and the Earth is embroiled in a Global
War. The international conflict is brought to a sudden end
when a giant alien spaceship crash-lands on the South Pacific
island of Macross. Soon the world's leading scientists are
united in trying to understand the complex Robotech technology.
Ten
years later, the alien ship has been restored and is preparing
for its maiden flight amidst great global celebration. But
another huge alien vessel appears in Earth's orbit. It is
part of a fleet of ships belonging to the warrior race of
the Zentraedi, intent on destroying Earth. But, with their
newly found understanding of Robotech, a small group of human
pilots are prepared to fight back against the seemingly superior
alien firepower...
Volume
2 of Robotech features another 12 episodes (13
- 24) of the 36-episode The Macross Saga. All have
been digitally remastered and featuring extended, never-before-seen
footage and outtakes to bring fans five hours worth of classic
anime.
As
with Volume
1, Volume 2 represents some classic
storytelling. The animation is fairly run-of-the-mill, but
the scripts are way more impressive than they should be -
especially when you consider that this was originally a children's
show.
The
relationships between the show's main characters is something
that slowly grows on you as the series progresses.
If
you've bought, and enjoyed, the first volume in this collection
then you'll not be disappointed by the episodes reproduced
here. However, if you're not familiar with Robotech,
you might like to rent first - it's something of an acquired
taste.
At
the end of the day Manga Entertainment UK should be applauded
for taking the time and effort to polish up an old classic
and present it in a format that fans will appreciate.
