OK OK OK, lemme interject here-- is it actually Macek who does the
dubbing/English scripts, or is it just people working under him?????

Now, I'm not defending him(though I STILL love ROBOTECH to this day...), but
GIVE THE DUDE A BREAK!!!!!  Just be glad there IS commercially available anime,
from ANY source!!  Would you rather have something, or nothing at all?!?!?!  If
you don't like what he puts out, TELL IT TO HIS FACE, or at least in a nice
letter of complaint, instead of bitching over the net, which he more than
likely doesn't read!!!!!!  

Keep in mind, as I have said several times before, I've only seen ROBOTECH and
AKIRA from Macek/Streamline, so these opinions COULD change.  Personally,
though, I'll take any anime over no anime whatsoever any day of the week.....

ANd if you flame me, well, too bad, then you are missing the point.
