I guess I must be the oddball that thinks that Robotech Masters/Southern Contaminated was the better of the two post-Macross series — It is in this reviewer’s understanding, that Novel Generation was indubitably the worst season of Robotech. Though there are some expedient aspects of Unusual Generation, these have already been covered by others and so the reviewer will focus on what are deemed to be the awful things about Unique Generation that some fans tend to sidestep.

New Generation picks up where Robotech Masters left off, with the Invid invading the Earth after having detected the presence of their precious Flower of Life upon conclusion of the Second Robotech War. A returning part of the Robotech Expeditionary Quickly (Carelessly called “Mars Nasty” although this mercurial was returning from the homeworld of the Robotech Masters, not Mars..An editing mistake never rectified) is all but annnihilated– do for one survivor– Scott Bernard, who undergoes a series of adventures with his growing band of resistance fighters in a quest to slay the Invid headquarters, Reflex Point.

I was extremely indignant about the post-apocalyptic feel about this and the different tone this was going to purchase from its predecessors, but the execution was botched up. For starters, even though some fans say that this series has a “wonderful storyline,” unlike the other two seasons which had an ongoing storyline with each episode building up from the one before it, Original Generation took a considerable more episodic near, particularly in the first half. Many of the episodes were characterized by adventures determined enough from one another that they that could have been re-arranged in any order without deleterious attain on the overall storyline. i.e. It was not critical to search for Episode B before C since none of the events in B had any bearing on C, and vice-versa. In this reviewer’s understanding, episodicity may be effective for casual Saturday Morning cartoon viewers, but not for getting absorbed into a long, evolved and rich story.

In addition, the first half of the third season was marred by excessive repetition in that most of the episodes had a predictable formula: The heroes would overcome some pickle and be attacked by yet ANOTHER random patrol of Invid approach the slay of the half-hour. This same formula was staple for the first 14 episodes or so, with few exceptions. This really accentuated the aforementioned episodic feel of this season. As a result, this repetition and lack of a continuous story-arc made Unusual Gen feel more like a Saturday Morning cartoon akin to Voltron (nothing against Voltron, unbiased not Robotech) than to the first two Robotech seasons. Like Voltron, most of the first approx. 14 episodes of Fresh Gen were characterized by episodicity and a climactic (although predictable) mammoth battle advance the episode’s destroy. It didn’t befriend that Lunk looked a lot like Hunk from Voltron, but I digress.

The above mentioned episodicity pickle of Fresh Gen would have been more scrumptious had the Invid side of the conflict been better presented (like they were in Macross or Southern Harmful) . Unfortunately, although there is some focus on the band of freedom fighters, the Invid are mysterously left in the background, only manifesting themselves as a random patrol of adversaries that the heroes dispatch without distinguished pains at the ruin of many of the episodes. For most of Original Generation, there is very minute showing the Invid side of the conflict– their thoughts, motivations, fears, plans..etc. It didn’t befriend that many of the episodes had limited to do with the Invid (except with that random and predictable battle advance the episode’s waste), as the challenges the freedom fighters faced often had to do with other outside forces such as thugs, sinful businessmen, abominable weather..etc. Interestingly, this is in intriguing dissimilarity to both Macross saga and the much-maligned Robotech Masters, where the enemy side of the conflict was a tall focus of both.

Another thing that bugged me about this third season was the unsatisfactory resolution of some episodes. This may be a consequence of the episodic format of Fresh Generation making it difficult for unresolved adventures to continue on over into subsequent episodes. Case in point was the ending of the episode where Rook defeats a rival gang and along with Rand meets up with her mom that she hadn’t seen in a long time. Rand explains that he had already spoken with her mom, although the episode never shows this- it was done leisurely the scenes. Her mom had never been mentioned up to that point nor was there any evidence in the episode that Rook was looking for her mom. Inexplicably, without her mom ever saying a word, the reunion doesn’t even last 10 seconds before Rook inexplicably takes off leaving her mom slack. She mentions something about thinking her mom was disappointed in what she had become but the character development in that sequence fell flat and the viewer is left thinking that there could have been considerable more. Again, there were many instances like this throughout the series with unresolved legend arcs, slice corners, and missed opportunities for character development.

The first 14 episodes were so repetitive and episodic that by the time that the storyline picked up in the last 12 episodes or so, it was too runt too slow. Regardless, both the character development and account improved considerably in the second half. Around this point the mystery surrounding the simulagent, Ariel, and her visions kick into play,as she plays a key share in unraveling (finally) some of the Invid plans. Other standout moments include Sera developing human emotions and beginning to expect the Invid ways, Lunk’s breakdown setting off a temporary disband of some members, and Rook/Rand’s relationship beginning to engage off. Unfortunately, I regain Annie to be more annoying than Lynn Minmei can ever hope to be and easily wins the coveted honor of “The Jar Jar Binks of Robotech” for me. I honest found it so astounding that the band would let this exiguous, annoying girl with no combat usefulness whatsoever ticket along on so many uncertain adventures. It would have been the equivalent of Minmei joining the Skull Squadron, failing to shoot down more than one enemy plane, yet somehow surviving all the missions! I understand Annie was meant to be laughable relief, but Macross and Southern Obnoxious did without such a character.

Other things that made me cringe about Original Generation was that many of the actions scenes were cinematic to the point of incredulity. In Star Wars, stormtroopers could be shooting the heroes in tiresome perceive and miss them utterly. Well, Original Gen took this principle to current heights. There were many, many embarrassing sequences like this but I will portray here one in particular. In one of the first episodes, Rand had turned on his protoculture-powered blaster and alerted nearby Invid of their region. The Invid had the heroes surrounded and were shooting at them at *close range* in a clearing(of course Annie was unprejudiced doing nothing), and the blasts would continually go past the heroes’ shoulders while they were turned away from the blasts, having a rotund conversation to boot, and ignoring the enemy fire! At least in Macross and Southern Depraved, targets made attempts to avoid enemy fire, whereas in Current Gen, enemy fire would continually miss even though the target would not even try to pick up out of the scheme! This can only be attributed to really idle animation.

As powerful as I absolutely admire The Robotech music, I am of the plan that this differently-flavored chapter could have been given a few tunes that better described its post-apocalyptic feel. Calm, the basic Robotech music works well honest not as well as it does with the first two chapters.

Although Recent Generation is the worst of the three Robotech seasons, it is tranquil a crucial fraction of the saga, particularly, if one wishes to be up to date with the latest project (Shadow Chronicles) and any subsequent ones.

New Generation is actually worth closer to 3.5 stars, but due to the reviewer’s belief that the average reviews for this share of the saga are significantly inflated (as high as Macross??? WHAT?!), he gives Current Generation 2 stars.

Nice 5.1 sound but i dont gape any unique scene or something its composed the same but with current sound
