I grew up on voltron. How many incarnations did THAT one go through

ROBOTECH! I got introduced to Anime via that show. Great storyline,
excellent story telling and a great sence of what fits. (I remember a
scene (charcter names escape me at this point) where a peite woman is
gonna blast some one with a bazooka, and she is comically, but very
realisticly (for anime, anywho) knocked back) How much does it suck that
Paliduim (AKA Power gamer central) has the RPG rights?

Saw one episode of Starblazers on tape....I want some more!
Other Japanese favourites include Ronan Warrors (Is that still on? I no
longer have cable), 3x3 Eyes (Yakamo!) some of Rama 1/2, Battle Angel,
the original Sailor Moon (if dic ever brings that back, thet'd better
not chop it to bits again!), Mai, Psykic Girl (manga, but still cool)
and the anime Street Fighter movie (MUCH better then the one with Jean-
Claude)
