    As a kid growing up, I remembered running home and trying to tape every single episode of The New Generation on our beta player. Robotech was one of the many great cartoon back in the 80s but to me it's head above all the rest because it was an epic space opera with great characters and story line.

    Thanks Carl for the great childhood memory.

    And please oh please no Toby Maguire as Rick Hunter.

    Robotech Minmay had some good songs:

    Otherwise, no. There's only Macross and those two other shows.

    Greatest cartoon ever - I hope they make the movie serious for an adult audience.
