back in 1990 I purchased a VHS tape of Clash of the Bionoids at a local Kay-B Toy store and not knowing what it really was I was surprised that it was actually Macross. Now at this time I had watched some Robotech on the old UHF channels a few years back so I learned what was Robotech and What was Macross and when I viewed that video I became hooked on learning all about Macross and even new things about Robotech. Now seeing the Dubbed version of Macross DYRL was not that bad. A few years after that when the DVD was still quite new I purchased a copy of Macross DYRL and even though it tells the whole story of Macross the TV series in slightly under 2 hours it is still action packed and the anime is done slightly different but in a good way plus the mecha is drawn in more detail. All the characters from the TV series are involved in some small way or another. Some of the mecha will look slightly different that what is in the TV series but not enough for someone to say "What the heck is that" If you know the Valkyries or Veritch whichever you prefer, you will know when you see them. This movie was what pulled me into the world of Anime and even today I still can sit and watch this movie from start to finish and enjoy all of it.
