In Summary:
After the disappointing Masters arc, Robotech manages to end with a mediocre closing storyline. It does not come near the level of entertainment that the Macross storyline provides, but it is worth watching once if only for the sake of seeing the entire story. The series might have worked better if it was not part of the Robotech continuity.
With villains and their plans given only a surface development, the stand-alone stories may have come off better without the baggage of trying to tie it back into the previous two series. It is difficult to recommend or not recommend this particular series. It has its moments, but the overall viewing experience just lacks enough substance to really hold one's interest.
