I know the weebs will hate me, but Robotech is the GOAT!

I still love Robotech. Just suits my sensibilities more than else anything macross related not named plus.

Robotech came on at like 6:30am on (I think FOX) and I used to watch it before 5th grade back in like 1985. TV was so weird back then. There was some local religious tabernacle talk show that aired just before it which was always so fucking goofy of a transition.

I don't know if it was Fox as it seems like they didn't start up for a couple years after. Probably CBS or something more local. Completely different time as there was no Western anime 'craze'. Most of us thought these were American cartoons as kids. Then again, if you were watching Thundercats, G.I. Joe or even Inspector Gadget...it was anime. American produced but mostly animated either by Topcraft, Toei or TMS.

My younger sister snitched on my VHS collection. I had Wicked City on VHS and I recall her reading the synopsis from the back of the tape to my mom. My dad didn't mind. I got a, "don't watch that Japanese smut" lecture and kept the tape. @Tesseract what tape was it that pissed off your parents?

My parents confiscated my copy of Wicked City as well.

Looking at these makes me miss seeing Kawajiri's style of anime. Never saw anyone touch what he was doing.

Yep he is hands down my favorite anime director. Especially his noir period....late 80s early 90s.

Grave of the Fireflies hit Netflix in my country. It was still as captivating as ever.
