Yeah, StarBlazers was good. However, being somewhat younger, my first anime was Tranzor Z (i.e. the dubbed version of Mazinger Z). And speaking of which, Mazinkaiser looks really good from the small amount of it I've seen so far.
Hm -- I know that an Eva step is slated, but a world consisting of an amalgamation of big robot series could work. The Mazinger series could easily, easily, mesh with Giant Robo, I'm sure. And maybe Gekiganger 3, Big O, and Getta Robo. Other suggestions?
Anway, Robotech really impressed me some years later when it was finally picked up in my town. Basically because it was the first cartoon I had ever seen that was ballsy enough to kill a significant character. (I won't say who here for the benefit of those poor souls who haven't seen it) That and the three long story arcs, though I'd already gotten fairly used to that idea thanks to The Mysterious Cities of Gold, which was also quite good.
