"ROBOTECH"

When I was a kid, there was one TV cartoon that I really liked. It's called ROBOTECH.

... in a nutshell:

ROBOTECH is a sweeping science-fiction anime epic of humans defending their homeworld against alien domination. The saga is told through the eyes of characters caught up in a series of wars that erupts when a mysterious spacecraft crash-lands on Earth at the turn of the millenium. The secrets of alien knowledge aboard this vessel were unlocked, leading to the development of "Robotechnology" and the creation of a vast arsenal of robotic "mecha" to defend the Earth against the alien threats that would eventually strike to lay claim to the mysterious power source known as "protoculture."


Dunno you all remember or not... I liked it so much that I even wanted to be a pilot when I grew up! Now, thanks to the wonders of modern tech we can watch it again!

All that was in a 85-episode saga back in the 80's. Now they have just released a continuation to resolve the cliffhanger ending at episode #85:
