  I woke up at 6 am before school to watch this when I was a kid.  I loved Robotech.  Had some heavy themes and a great story.  War after desperate war but always a glimmer of hope. Yes, I still want to fly a Veritech.  I’m 47 and not ashamed at all.

  The only death in entertainment that truly affected me more than Ned Stark was that of Roy Fokker.

  My school bus let me off at my stop about 10 minutes after Robotech started every afternoon. &nbsp;My father worked night shifts. &nbsp;He would tape the episode on our VCR. &nbsp;I would watch the other cartoons I liked, and then put on Robotech while he started dinner before my mom got home from work. &nbsp;<br><br>Later, he taught me how to set the automatic VCR recording feature when he picked up the day shift. &nbsp;Every morning I would put a tape in and set it up to start recording at 2:30pm before I left for school. &nbsp;Robotech was absolutely my favorite!

  Battle of the Planets only lasted for one season. Robotech came along soon after, and this kid was HOOKED. My best friend and I would run to his house after school (like 2 blocks away) so we could catch every episode. That was our introduction to anime, and I never looked back. Thank you so much for posting this.

  I was 13 when this first aired one episode a day, M-F after school. It is my favorite cartoon of all time. What makes it the best for me is the fact that it was realistic in terms of the struggles humans go through. Whether it was with love or relationships, or combat. Even major key characters died, so there was no favoritism just for being a good guy. Absolutely ahead of its time.

  I was 26 when Robotech came to my area in 1985. It is one of the great anime series in history. I been into anime since 1963.

  I had &nbsp;the transformer Jetfire as a kid would pretend to play robotech with him as he was a exact model of the craft they used in Robotech.
