"Well for most of you who are Robotech fans, you'll probably figure that not much changed from the original SDF Macross. But in reality this original series has much more depth and story. The biggest difference I've noticed is the narration. The orginal Macross in Japanese uses less narration and also a woman's voice. The story and script is definitely better written in this version. In SDF Macross, Lynn Minmei truly is the key character. Her voice (Mari Iijima) is an actual singer in Japan. Which makes the Macross songs beautiful to listen to. If you're into JPop then you'll know what I mean.

If you're a Robotech fan, you may not like Hikaru Ichijyo as the main character. And Rory Focker, Misa Hayase as Roy Fokker and Lisa Hayes. But once you start this series, you'll really enjoy it more. Although the Macross continium with Macross Plus, Macross 7, and Macross Zero makes this a must start."
