Funimation is bringing anime fans something awesome to look forward to with a complete remaster of Robotech coming to Blu-Ray this September.
If you’ve been looking to get into the original Robotech series, or just want to enjoy it once again in the best way possible…you’re in luck. Today, Funimation has announced the original series, and first two films, have been completely remastered. It looks pretty gorgeous. I mean, just look at that comparison image at the top!
The remaster will be available to stream through Funimation’s streaming service starting on August 24th, but fans will likely want to get their hands on this awesome looking Blu-ray boxset coming on September 28, 2021.
Containing all 85-episodes of the series, all remastered for the first time on Blu-ray in Dolby Digital. The remastering will be faithful to the preceding DVD box set release and retain a classic “film grain.” With its retro packaging design, the collector’s edition also includes: an exclusive Variant Transforming Robotech – Roy Fokker’s VF-1S; an exclusive Variant Action Figure – Roy Fokker in Pilot Uniform Variant Shade of Black; and a series of Robotech-embroidered patches. It’s the first time and truly one-of-a-kind dual packaging of the Transforming Robotech and action figure.
Robotech, the space opera anime epic of humans defending their homeworld against alien domination is set to return for a new generation of audiences as Funimation will be premiering all 85-episodes of the series remastered, along with the two movies, Robotech II: The Sentinels and Robotech: The Shadow Chronicles, on its streaming service in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia, and New Zealand on August 24, 2021.
Produced by Harmony Gold and Tatsunoko Productions, the action-adventure animated series Robotech introduced an entire generation of viewers to anime when it first premiered in 1985 and, to this day, has a thriving and extensive fan base around the globe.
The Blu-ray will be available exclusively through the Funimation Shop.
