Something I've wanted to do for 20+ years. Watch this, and the other three shows that robotech was based on. I started with this one as I figured I would do all of macross at one point, and it's the closest to the original. But this was was close, but definetly different, familuar plots and ideas, but then there was things different. Story: Humans have colonized a planet when aliens show up and a intergalactic war starts up for the fate of the planet. I enjoyed the plot, had a decent job of dealing with war, and questions about it,how much of the war could have been stopped if hotheads had cooled down.

Art: It's classic 80's stuff, it works for the most part, though I did notice some reused animations, and weird animations glitches, like a gun that seems to only appear in the last frame of a transformation and such. But I still liked it.

Characters: A fair amount of them, coming from robotech it was a bit funny seeing some chars that were differently named, like the aliens called zor, not the one of the chars that was a clone of the guy that created the SDF1 and such like he was in the original.

enjoyment and overall: I enjoyed this, this has been a goal and I'm pleasantly surprised with it and glad I got to watch it. It isn't perfect, and has it's issues, but coming from a huge robotech fan I'm glad to finally get to see it.
