It's as much a cartoon as Astroboy, Gatchaman, Gigantor, and Samurai Pizza Cats.

You win this time Macek.
It's the cartoon equivalent to Power Rangers, I'd say the drastic differences in story outweigh the shared footage and make each version unique.
>>90172483
it's not a cartoon but it is /co/
It's interesting
They bring up her song
My boyfriends a pilot but then they make it about her makeing her big break
But hey atleast they kept the
knife fight date
>>90172557would someone please cue that bird
This man was a godsend and a genius that took three mediocre series and turned them into proper military science fiction beloved by millions, saving it from the hellish quagmire that manchild Kawamori stuck Macross in and never pulled out of. We were never worthy of Carl Macek.

Carl Macek was a good man. RIP
Harmony Gold can burn in hell thogh.
>>90172483
All anime are cartoons.
>>90172525
you should learn what these things mean before you post them its pretty obvious what his argument for it being a cartoon is you're just being retarded
>>90173177
agreed. Does harmony gold even have any other sources of income? They just make money suing warhammer and hasbro these days, right?
Is this a cartoon?
>>90173471
Well since Japan gives no shits about it then it might as well be.
>>90173407
According to wikipedia they also deal in real estate.
Storytime ye cunts, because yes, Robotech IS /co/.
>>90174519
Do you remember love BASED storytime anon?
Oh, behave.
>>90172483
Robotech:The Macross Saga is, up until the last 6 episodes, one of the most faithful dubs before the 2000s. Its got a surprising lack of content censorship compared to most TV dubs, and no excessive indulgent attempt at making it seem more adult like all those cheesy OVA dubs. They redubbed Macross in a more faithful way, but I'd rather watch Robotech because the second dub's voices feel less appropriate in a lot of ways, and flagrantly drop Japanese for the kind of weeb crowd that likes to crouch in the middle of Barnes and Noble aisles and read without paying.
The other two series got the usual weird dub treatment thanks to being shoehorned as sequels, though.
>>90173140
please elaborate. what did macek do exactly

Aw, Steve...

best girl, prove me wrong faggots
Libgen's being a bitch and it looks like it won't let me download the rest of the series. Oh well.
>>90173471
Well it is now, seeing how it be formally adopted by the USA.
Still we got Legendary Defender out of it and done by the same people who did Avatar which is a match made in heaven.
>>90175206
We only except classic Gatchaman here.
And that's all you're getting from me I guess
>>90173407
wait, why suing them?
One more page. Member when Wildstorm published rapey edgy Thundercats comics?
>>90173140
>>90175353
Because back when the original Transformers was running Hasbro went to basically every Japanese toy company that had transforming robot toys and they made a deal with Bandai to use the Valkyrie for Macross as Jetfire.
Since Harmony Gold owns everything to do with Robotech in the US they try and sue Hasbro anytime they have a new Jetfire toy that resembles the original.

>We only except classic Gatchaman here.
got it
>>90175513
Better.also I kinda like Battle of the Planets
>tfw you realize the reason why all those cool Macross videogames don't get localized is because of Robotech.
>>90175482
Which they can't fucking do anymore by the way.
They finally took the likes to court and Harmony Golds bullshit worked against them at long last and now Hasbro can use the Veritech design (and later redesigns of Jetfire) as much as they want and Harmony Gold can't do jack shit
>>90175626
Good on Hasbro.
>>90175605
me too anon
