In the early 90s, the most widely available anime titles were released stateside through Streamline Pictures, largely thanks to Carl Maceck, who had much to do with the Americanized version of Macross, Mospeada, and Southern Cross in the form of Robotech. If you weren't exposed to anime in the underground world of fansubs and comic cons, then along with Robotech, you probably saw Vampire Hunter D, Akira, and this little jewel.

ROBOT CARNIVAL is what brought me into the world of anime. Back in 1988, after watching countless reruns of Robotech, I was ready to either move up or move on. I went to a comic book convention that happened to have an anime room. Inbetween programs like Those Obnoxious Aliens and Dirty Pair, they showed segments of Robot Carnival individually. I was absolutely stunned. None of the other shows, even though they were excellent, could hold my attention like the brief shorts Robot Carnival contains.
