The Original Robotech is on Hulu now. Happy dance!!
Wooooooot!
Saw the blog post on this. I’m more a Macross/DYRL (and sequels) guy, but I’ll be happy to try to answer questions. ^^
Bugs me that the Wikipedia article says the eps were released in 1985. I remember writing a paper for one of my classes in third grade where I basically ripped off the plot-line for Robotech. I was in third grade in 1983.
ETA: Heck, even imdb says 1985 (I did get them to change it to 1983 for a while though). Maybe my local station was ahead of the times.
Unless you’re Japanese…you’ve got your dates wrong somehow
Nope. I know I was watching it before I graduated High School.
Nope. It could have been 1984 but I am 100% certain that it was before 1985 that I saw all of the Robotech saga.
I just saw this on Robotech.com, you can now watch all robotech episodes for free on Youtube and Hulu. Now it’s not going ot be DVD quality but for those who have never seen the show here ya go. It’s one of the best Sci fi Anima shows EVER MADE!!!

Enjoy!!!
I’m very excited that this is available for people who have not seen this great show. I hope this leads to a podcast arc in the near future!
Off of the Robotech website:
MACROSS was initially brought to the United States for a direct-to-video release in the fall of 1984.
Maybe whatever station you saw it on played it in that year, before the official broadcast date of 1985… although that would have been only 3-4 months before 1985.
This looks great. I have vague memories of watching this show in junior high (87-88)… now that it’s free, I’m gonna check it out again.
I’ve always wanted to give that series a go. I was browsing Hulu today and was happy to see that it’s up. Do you think anyone would be interested in a Frak Party? Please forgive me if there’s been one. I didn’t find one with the search function, but I’m still new to the forums. Soemtimes I don’t know how to work the internet machine.
Welcome to GWC. I wish I could give you a good answer, but I’m not sure if there would be interest.
Welcome aboard.
Sounds good. When’s good for you?
