Robotech also known as Macross in Japan is the 1985 anime sagas that helped introduce anime to the US. It's a sci-fi/mecha/space drama and is considered a timeless classic among most anime fans. Robotech is the American version while Macross is the Japanese version which goes off in a different direction after the Macross Saga. During LCAD on Sunday the first 6 episodes of each of the 3 Robotech Sagas including a movie from Japan Macross Frontier: The False Songstress.
Episode 1-6 of the Macross Saga will start from 9 am on Sunday.
The Macross saga starts off as a Robotech Ship under the command of Robotech Master Zor flees a war between the Robotech Masters and The Invid who are fighting over a substance called Protoculture which powers robotechnology and is essential to the survival and evolution of the Invid. The Robotech ship crash lands on Earth secretly carrying the last known means to produce Protoculture. This event ends the Global War on Earth and humanity unites to study and restore the ship under the name Super Dimensional Fortress - 1 or SDF-1 for short in fear of alien invasion. Just as the SDF-1 is restored the Zentradi which is an artificial warrior race bioengineered by the Robotech Masters arrive to try to reclaim the ship and wipe out humanity which leads to the First Robotech War. Which is brought to an end by an alliance that is formed between humanity and some of the Zentradi who were labeled as traitors.
Episodes 1-6 of the Southern Cross Saga will be shown starting at 11:30
The SDF-1 is in ruins after the end of the first saga but the Protoculture Production Matrix is still hidden in the remains which brings the Robotech Masters and a clone of Zor who died before the first saga began to Earth to face off against a new generation of defenders some of which are the offspring of the original SDF-1 crew. This starts off the Second Robotech War. Eventually they find the Protoculture Production Matrix only to find it has been contaminated with the Invid Flower of Life which sends signals to the Invid and bring them to Earth to digest the flower.
Episode 1-6 of the New Generation Saga will be shown starting at 2pm.
The Invid have finally arrived on Earth and quickly overwhelm what was left of Earth's defenses at the end of the 2nd Robotech War and enslave most of humanity to harvest Protoculture and serve as test subjects for their evolution experiments. A Robotech Expeditionary Force returns to earth to face the Invid. The fleet is wiped out except for a survivor named Scott Bernard who crash lands on Earth and forms a resistance movement and fight the Invid on Earth until a second Robotech Expeditionary Fleet arrives to attack the main Invid base.
The movie Macross Frontier: The False Songstress (In Japanese Audio only) starts at 4:30 pm.
I'm not familiar with any of the Macross Series other than the Original Macross Saga because most of them haven't left Japan, but supposedly it's about the Human and Zentradi alliance as they face off against different hostile alien races. The Robotech Masters and the Invid don't make an appearance after the end of Macross. However I would recommend watching this movie I believe it was only released in Japan a few years ago.
I would highly recommend setting aside some time during LCAD on Sunday to watch these episodes the Robotech Sagas and the Macross Movie they're a great anime classic with a little bit of everything. Although the Graphics are older it's still a great anime to watch considering it was one of the first to come to America.
