It's true. You remember RoboTech being awesome, and it was, but it's less awesome than you remember.
Also, you don't remember the show scene.

I don't really recall what little I saw of it having been that awesome. So maybe I'm remembering it about right.

The books are quite good. They capture pretty much all the awesomeness of the show and almost none of the painfully embarrassing aspects.

It's made of three rewriten japanese series, that originaly were totaly independant from each other, even if produced by the same studio. The first one Maccross is excellent and close to the original. The second one southern cross is very freelly adapted, and take lot of liberties to make it fit the new architecture. The text doesn't always fit the pictures very well: because thats not the story the pics are supposed to say. Yet even like this it is very enjoyable. The third part Mospeda is excellent too.

Although I seldom had a chance to see the actual shows, I did have a couple of those "Robotech Art" books. So I knew what was supposed to have happened in every episode. And that they were three Japanese series rewritten for Western viewers.

Robotech was my first exposure to cross dressing.

It's not as good as you remember, Stanley.
You thought Robotech was a vast and serious epic, but it's not.

It is, but with many flaws due to how it was done.

You thought Robotech was a vast and serious epic, but it's not. The "Robotech Art" books described it as a vast and serious epic. What I actually saw of it suggested that it didn't quite measure up. It was a shoot-'em-up sci-fi cartoon that tried to take itself a little too seriously.

I tried to rewatch Robotech. I made it through two episodes. It was not fun. Not fun at all.

You cant take three not related series and make it fit perfectly. Even if you SAY that what is on the screen is the rest of a Spaceship, the audience still see a mountain.

The Robotech novelizations, authored under the pseudonym "Jack McKinney," were actually a collaboration between two authors, one of whom was Brian Daley, who wrote the expanded NPR radio dramatizations of Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back.

You thought Robotech was a vast and serious epic, but it's not. I'll have you know I just watched it last summer. You have a poor memory. No, you just have poor taste. I'll have you know that Robotech formed the basis of my moral training.

If my taste was any better I'd be a Tastemaker.
I might be one already and just don't know it.
