You gotta understand, my anime history comes in three stages:
1) Middle 1960s. Astroboy. Gigantor. Speed Racer. Eighth Man. What, you mean they were made in Japan?
2) 1979-1980. Wow, that Starblazers show is like no other cartoon I've ever seen. Too bad there's nothing else like it anywhere.
3) 1990ish to present. Who watches American stuff anymore?
In the third stage, I was mostly started on farces and other light fare, and that stayed my primary preference for a long while. Robotech/Macross/whatever fell between the cracks and outside of my tastes whenever it was around. That's the sad truth.
