> Some questions I have:
> 
> 	1. Is it new
		Not really. Robotech was the product of an American company;
	Harmony Gold; marketing 3 Japanese Animation shows called: Super Dimen-
	sional Fortess Macross, The Southern Cross, and Genesis Climber 
	Mospeada. All of these shows were produced in 1983-4 by Tasinoko Films.
	The only link that Harmony Gold binds these stories together, is some-
	thing called "protoculture". Macross was the only show to mention this,
	and its definition can be foound in any dictionary/sociology book.

> 	2. Does it come in comic-book form (if so, where can I
> 	   get it?)
		Yes it does come in Comic Book form. It is put out by a comic
	company called Comico. There is also the first three episodes out on 
	commercial tape called Macross by Harmony Gold.

> 	3. Does anyone watch it beside me...has anyone HEARD of it
> 	   besides me?
		If I didn't watch it, how would I know about it. Anyways, I was
	watching the original (and better at most times) animation a long time
	before Harmony Gold started to release their version. I'm not knocking
	Harmony Gold or anything, but they could use a little less narration, 
	an more of the original plotline. If you ever heard of the CF/O or any
	of the Animation Fanclubs through-out the US and beyond, get in touch
	with them, there's a bigger fan-following world out there than you can
	imagine.

		Oh, It's Zentradi by the way.
