Robotech

Robotech is a Japanese anime series made as an international co-production by Harmony Gold USA and Tatsunoko Productions as part of their Robotech franchise. The story involves an ongoing fictitious military strife between humans and three races of alien invaders from outer space, over the fate of the planet Earth as well as the control of Protoculture, an energy source with alien origins. The series feature the use of Robotechnology, a chiefly-militaristic field of science which resembles a combination of what we today know as Robotics and Information Technology (IT).
The series is divided into three chapters or sagas:
*Robotech: The Macross Saga: Features First Robotech War, the battle between humans and a race of giant humanoids known as Zentraedi
*Robotech: The Robotech Masters: Features Second Robotech War, the battle between humans and the last remnants of a race of ruthless but scientifically-advanced humanoids known as Robotech Masters
*Robotech: The New Generation: Features Third Robotech War, a Pyrrhic decade-long strife between humans and a mysterious race known as Invid
Harmony Gold USA and Tatsunoko Productions produced the 85-episode anime adaptation that was created by Carl Macek and aired on the Japanese station MBS on October 3, 1982, and on the American broadcast syndication on March 4, 1985. It was later airing on Sci-Fi Channel on September 13, 1993, and on Cartoon Network's Toonami block on January 12, 1998. However, the broadcast of the series airing in 60 episodes on Toonami was edited in content.
