The Christmas Season always makes me feel nostalgic and I start to re-watch old programs and such. This year was One Piece and Macross.
Any other Macross fans out there?
I've been re-watching my Japanese version "Perfect Collection" discs so I get the original Japanese opening and closing themes and also the orginal storyline, names, etc. (as compared to the US/Harmony Gold Robotech release).
Right now I'm up to the point where the Zentradi defectors have been accepted into the Macross society.
When I think back about it, Macross was pretty far ahead of it's time for a "cartoon". Some things that I can recall:
1. Nudity - Minmay's bare buttock when she takes a shower.
2. Mixed race dating - Foker & Claudia, and later on M&M.
3. Kissing cousins.
4. Death of major characters.
The animation is starting to get dated, but it's definitely not unwatchable. I'm enjoying it emmensely!
