Carl Macek - Legacy in Anime

Legacy in Anime

Macek became one of the most controversial figures amongst English anime fandom. Some consider him one of the early pioneers of the medium outside of Japan. Streamline Pictures-dubbed anime were among the first to be available on home video as well as broadcast on cable. Over the years he has seen his share of detractors and proponents, for while he did help to bring Japanese Animation titles and series to the United States, his edits, re-rewrites and mash ups (particularly The Robotech Saga) angered many fans of the original titles and series. To this day, Anime fans still remained divided between hatred and appreciation of his work.
