Oh toonami, it was back in 1998 at 5:30 when you treated the masses to one of the first old school anime to hit the US. But, you weren't the first. It was 1987 to 1993 on channel 9 at 10:00 PM. Robotech, you were the BubbleGum Geek's first taste of anime. She fell in love with the SDF-1 crew and rooted for the amazingly flawed characters.
The BubbleGum Geek has just recently bought Robotech the Protoculture Collection. She finally got to watch the Robotech II, which was very odd because the drawing style was out of the norm. Other than that, it's been great to get to know these characters all over again. Rick Hunter, Lisa Hayes and Roy Falker: these were characters that haven't really been replicated since that initial run. It's time to get back to the hour long marathons because the BubbleGum Geek is hearing the DVD calling out her name.
