I keep wondering why no one cares what was done to three anime titles to make Robotech.
I mean... some guy from the US takes three unrelated shows, hacks them up, rewrites the scripts strings them together like they're all one continuous series and says it's Robotech.
After gutting these series and further humiliating with some amazingly bad dub voices, he then tries to argue his version is better than the original.
He tries to create a bogus animation series that will further his bullsh-- continuity, but he has to change the character designs so he doesn't get sued (which should tell you something right there)
With the added bonuses that not only has he created this abomination, but Harmony Gold then tries to take legal action against anime titles that are legitimate sequals to the original titles...
They held up the release of Macross Plus back in the day... and I'm just not going to go into that.
Sure... I loved Robotech when I was a kid... but when I learned the truth behind it... it made me quite angry.
I just don't know why such a hatchet job on a show is so acceptable to a large portion of anime fans... why so many are like... "well... I liked Robotech, so... it's OK." or "I just like both."
People complain about material being hacked out of anime when it is put on TV all the time... but they seem less bothered by this: the mother of all hack jobs.
I don't know... it just really bothers me and I just felt like ranting... and I'm in a real crappy mood today as well.
