Robotech Remastered - Volume 1 Extended Edition
According to A.D. Vision, "a fresh, clean digital transfer of Robotech from  the original film stock" returns the cult favorite to "a lovely and  near-pristine state." The new release looks darker than the previous DVD, especially the  colors at the blue end of the spectrum. But the original elements have faded  badly, and  correcting the problems would have required enormous amounts of  time and money. The faces of Lisa and the other female characters remain pallid,  pink and white masks; the shading around Rick Hunter's eyes makes him look  like a raccoon in some shots. The added footage "cut from the original broadcast  version" amounts to little more than different commercial lead-ins and an  occasional brief image like the one of Rick and Roy Fokker in biplanes in "Booby  Trap." (Rated 13 and older, but suitable for ages 8 and older: violence,  restricted to spaceship and robot battles)--Charles Solomon
