Ah yes, the old classic. One of the greats.
Considered the godfather of Mecha based anime (Gundam being the only one typically held above it), the Macross series has gone from amazing beginings in the mid 80s to brilliance with the latest incarnation this last year. Jet planes that transform into giant robots (not as giant as most gundams, mind you), aliens that are like, 60 feet tall that can become smaller like humans. Space ships and space travel, immense weapons, huge spaceships that transform themselves, alien creatures that want to destroy things and a fortress that is 1/4th the size of the moon!
Ahem, I do believe I'm getting a bit ahead of myself here.
First off, has anyone here seen or even heard of Macross? Or maybe you may know it was Robotech, as that is what it was presented to America as in the mid 80s. Robotech: The Macross Saga is the first part of the Robotech triology, even though in Japan, Macross is it's own running series (the other Robotech series are their own in Japan as well, but never really got anything much in terms of sequels).
Would anyone like to know more about this serious before I go headlong into a 15 page tangent about it all taking up precious time to sleep?

I've heard of "Macross", but I'm not really familiar...It's older than dirt, if memory serves me correctly.
What makes it so awesome?
