I'm still a little annoyed we haven't seen a live-action #Robotech movie yet. He'll, I'd even settle for another anime, or CGI-style, Robotech film. The science fantasy nature of Star Warsblends with the 1980s era anime character designs and invokes many older space-faring anime franchises like Macross, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, and Mobile Suit Gundam. Fans can see the anime take on Obi-Wan's final stand against Darth Vader, Luke meeting Han Solo and Chewbacca for the first time, and even a quick glimpse of Princess Leia watching her home world of Alderaan being destroyed. https://comicbook.com/anime/2018/09/23/star-wars-80s-anime-makeover-fan-trailer/

http://www.robotech.com/infopedia/mecha/viewmecha.php?id=65 When I was a kid Robotech was the greatest cartoon in the world. Seriously. Unlike more common fare like Transformers or He-Man, Robotech was a serial that followed Rick Hunter and humanity's first experiences with alien technology, space battles and giant transformable robots piloted by people. Each episode built on the previous episodes, each season a foundation for the next. People died, mistakes were made by leaders, romance, jealousy, treachery, you name it. Robotech was a new level of story for a ten year old kid. And it was awesome. F-14's that turned into giant robots protecting the Earth from alien invaders? How friggin cool is that? First there was Macross , then The Masters and then The New Generation . I can't recall specifically when they were introduced (The Masters or New Generation), but in the third Robotech War the heroes spent much of their time wearing mecha armor doubling as motorcycles in li...

So, apparently my roommate thinks Voltron was a stupid cartoon.  Plot-wise and character growth-wise, I can agree to some extent but, in the 80s, this was pure awesomeness!  I mean, they had one simple premise that never failed to deliver: aliens attack, a giant alien mutant attacks, the 6 lions defend, the 6 lions form Voltron who's getting his butt kicked until he creates his sword and defeats the giant mutant alien. But, come on!  It's Voltron !  Where else are you going to find flying lions, giant robots, and a magical sword? And she's never heard of Robotech .  Who's never heard of the greatest anime cartoon ever?  Plot, character-development, a story that builds on itself, action romance, death --  Robotech has it all!
