Many months ago, we produced an episode in which we were to talk about Carl Macek.  Somehow, we went almost the entire episode without even so much as mentioning him; a fact which perturbed me for some time.<\/p>\n<p>Well, this has been amended.  Sometimes revered, other times reviled, Carl Macek left behind an incredible legacy of work and undoubtedly paved the way for the anime market that came after Robotech.<\/p>\n<p>Here we have the somewhat complete story of the amazing career of Carl Macek, though we did skip over some things, such as his time at DiC and Spumco.  We talk about his rise with Harmony Gold, the rise and fall of Streamline Pictures, and his time at ADV.<\/p>\n<p>We also tread through the Robotech saga again, this time a bit more in detail.  And if any of this is at all confusing, don&#8217;t worry.  You&#8217;re running about average.  Truth be told, Robotech shows its seams, and even with additional animated content made to bridge the three separate sagas, it still is an obvious hodgepodge of content.<\/p>\n<p>I still very much recommend ADV&#8217;s dub of Macross, IF you can still find it.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2664\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/macross.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2664\" src=\"https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/macross-300x212.jpg\" alt=\"Robotech - The Macross Saga\" width=\"300\" height=\"212\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2664\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/macross-300x212.jpg 300w, https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/macross-1024x723.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/macross-424x300.jpg 424w, https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/macross.jpg 1750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2664\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Robotech &#8211; The Macross Saga<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2665\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dirty_pair.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2665\" src=\"https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dirty_pair-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"Dirty Pair - Flight 005 Conspiracy\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2665\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dirty_pair-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/dirty_pair.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2665\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dirty Pair &#8211; Flight 005 Conspiracy<\/p><\/div>\n<div id=\"attachment_2666\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/golgo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2666\" src=\"https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/golgo-300x184.jpg\" alt=\"The Professional: Golgo 13\" width=\"300\" height=\"184\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2666\" srcset=\"https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/golgo-300x184.jpg 300w, https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/golgo-486x300.jpg 486w, https:\/\/animationaficionados.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/golgo.jpg 620w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-2666\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Professional: Golgo 13<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yep, we&#8217;re back with a do-over episode.
