[quote]My friends and I have been watching/snarking over the original Gundam series lately, and the Macross theme reminds me of that show's opening - somewhat bizarre and extremely cheesy XD[/quote]
Ah, poor old 0079 - It had a great story, and was literally a trend-setter as the first real robot anime. But the animation was done on the cheap, and a lot of it was farmed out, so it has some utterly awful moments in it, and the music and sound effects are cringe-worthy. The movie compilations are a [i]bit[/i] better, but it hasn't stood the test of time very well, sadly. But at least it had a lot of sequels in the same universe that patched things up nicely.

Oh, I had better ask before I forget. Is it Selachi or Selachai? The hider says one thing, but it's spelled the latter way almost everywhere else and I just wanted to be surely sure.

I probably meant to spell it the latter way everywhere, but since I was rushing a bit when I did the hiders, I likely mis-spelt it. I'll edit it now, since I've got to add Minder's character to the list.
