    And of cuase later around March Macross Delta will be out... the first epi preview is out , and im really looking forward to this new series .
    I'm the same, I've watched Macross proper, as well as Mospeada (also Orguss, what a ride), but now if I rewatch I go robotech for nostalgia and also the music, I have an extensive playlist for workout, and another for general listening and both have robotech tunes in them.

    As for other macross, my fav is plus, but I've watched 7 nore time through than frontier (not just because it's older), i'll wait for delta to be finished before i binge the series/season. Older anime, i watched orguss just cos, I wanted to see the origin of some weird toys my brother had growing up, then also decided to start gundam from the start (0079), but having trouble getting through it, some of the characters are just ugh... (Kai, Amuro), might give up before I move on to Zeta/ZZ.

    Other than that I binged s3 of Kuroko no Basuke after giving up on food wars and log horizon, then caught up from 693 to current in one piece and tried to get back into Bleach. But just nothing grabbing me atm, might try Gate.

    As I'm sure most of you know, the 1988 anime Akira was the movie that basically launched the whole manga/anime boom in the West. This anime also accurately predicted that Tokyo would host the 2020 Olympics. Let's hope that's the only accurate prediction from that movie! Although the fact that WWIII didn't happen in 1989 is a good sign.

    And of course the jokes have been rolling in...

    This short video shows how Kaneda's famous motorcycle slide scene has been homaged across different animations (both from Japan and the US).

    What if other live action anime adaptations had manga/anime-sized big eyes?

    They have to be full CGI characters or it doesn't count, this is James Cameron we are talking about.
