one of the earliest OVAs....

Great movie, though VERY steeped in the 80's. "The Matrix" borrowed a lot of ideas from this 1985 classic. in the US, there are at least 2 different dubs of this film. the first was made by Carl Macek under commission from Cannon films & Harmony Gold USA, and is very bad. 25% of the movie was edited out, the storyline was entirely re-written, footage from the series "Space calvalry Southern Cross" was edited in, and a 12 minute "happy ending" was animated in Japan for American tastes. It was christened "Robotech the movie: The Untold Story" during the 1985 holiday season. as expected by most, this version was a total flop in US theatres, and barely made it out of the test-markets. Only a decade later, after Macek had left Harmony Gold and was co-running Streamline Pictures with Jerry Beck, was Megazone 23 part I released semi-properly(footage & Storyline now intact). but now Streamine is bankrupt and the OVA appears to be floating in public-domain limbo. oh well......

A cool Macross knock-off

Here's the skinny, it seems that this is much older then I thought it was. But it's still cool. The bike mechs are cool and the story works for the most part. There are some character issues that I hope work themselves out by part 2 and my biggest complaint of all that it seems to be a MACROSS knock off. Not just the animation style but several character designs. For example all the girls in this movie look like LYN MINMAY of MACROSS. The mechs look similar to MACROSS as well as the other characters. This is really not made for little kids, it has graphic violence, nudity and graphic sexual content. So to make a long story short I give this cool MACROSS knock-off 7 STARS.
