In the mid-80s, producer Carl Macek was recruited by Harmony Gold to create Robotech for the US market. Carl deftly edited three Japanese anime series and tied them together into an epic 85-episode saga (told across three chapters: The Macross Saga, The Masters, and The New Generation). The stories continued in Robotech II: The Sentinels and The Shadow Chronicles… In 2017, Titan Comics’ Robotech series began. The Macross Saga was retold but certain plot elements changed… Captain Gloval died, Rick Hunter went blind, and an adult, time-displaced Dana Sterling was eventually introduced, way before she was supposed to appear… And now the saga continues. Welcome to Robotech Remix…

Passionate fans of anime and manga, known in Japan as otaku and active around the world, play a significant role in the creation and interpretation of this pervasive popular culture. Routinely appropriating and remixing favorite characters, narratives, imagery, and settings, otaku take control of the anime characters they consume. Fanthropologies—the fifth volume in the Mechademia series, an annual forum devoted to Japanese anime and manga—focuses on fans, fan activities, and the otaku phenomenon. The zones of activity discussed in these essays range from fan-subs (fan-subtitled versions of anime and manga) and copyright issues to gender and nationality in fandom, dolls, and other forms of consumption that fandom offers. Individual pieces include a remarkable photo essay on the emerging art of cosplay photography; an original manga about an obsessive doll-fan; and a tour of Akihabara, Tokyo's discount electronics shopping district, by a scholar disguised as a fuzzy animal.
