In every era and in every medium, you have bad offerings, you have mediocre offerings, and then you have one or two gems that were put together by a team that might've given half a damn about the quality of the final product. The shining star in of '80s cartoons was undoubtedly Robotech. Heavily plotted, with rich characters (especially for the time), Robotech was the series to watch, and was by far the most complicated and adult animated show on daytime TV.
Robotech, broke the mold by working on the assumption that perhaps young viewers could appreciate a deep, ongoing storyline. It unwrapped a battle-torn universe where wars didn't just end because the good guys happened to foil the villain's plot in half an hour. In fact, the war lasted for generations, tuning kids into a very sad fact about life, death and war: Sometimes this shit just drags on forever.
Now there has just been announced a culture-quaking event of such import, that developmentally arrested 30-35 year-olds around the planet are shivering, no, quivering in excitement, stunned to the bone, mouths agape and rendered useless for the rest of the day. I'm talking about Robotech: the movie. While this is old news, I just needed to write about it. Words cannot express the extent of my infatuation with this animated series when I was in grade school. If it weren’t for Robotech, I probably wouldn’t have gotten into anime at all.
Any anime geek knows this intro.
