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.

A world where there are other worlds and those worlds invade that world humans live in. This anime is actually quite good. My major issue is the fight scenes which too much time spent on talking, reviewing and making up plans which make them too drawn out and longer than they should. Other than that and that it is not the best drawn I still do enjoy this show. There is quite a long list of characters and trying and remember who is who at times can be frustrating. When trying to remember who has any ties to the main characters or their strengths can get a little annoying as well. The action scenes are quite intense and it has plenty of action mostly with humans using adapted otherworldly technology for weapons to defend from those same otherworldly beings to prevent abduction or loss of the citizens of the city, they are Border and their job is to protect those citizens.

This is a very good clone of the Power Rangers. Done very well an very well written. Now I am only saying this by Fansubs but fan subs can be very well done. The series ran 51 episodes an each episode made you want to see the next. There is a lot of stories going on in the run but we see a wide assortment of different villains. Even the bad guys have sorta a love story also. The mecha surprised me a lot with the different things each robot could do. First you see the robot then another 3 robots then there is a 5th one, then they combine to make one huge robot..then when u think there is nothing else it can do poof all new vehicles an robots an even the government gets a funky robot of their own too...love robots then there some there.. This is a real good series to watch, an to ones eyes at first glance would say as I did..." Oh my! another PowerRangers wannabe" but I changed my mind after the first few episodes.. an hopefully so shall you.
