I would swear that's Cam Clarke (Max's voice actor) narrating those ads. Am I crazy?
Also, they shouldn't cut their ads right in the middle of a line like that.
Um...I don't regret buying the boxset either, since I prefer watching stuff on TV, and I can still get some unironic enjoyment out of the Robotech dub of Macross.
I don't think this will hurt any theoretical sales, for various reasons, and I like having The Macross Saga to quickly call on when I need to check something, or to show a non-Robotech-owning friend something which amused me
