Visually it was way ahead of the american shows, but the horrible dubbing, and snail's pace story were annoying at best. Talk about a cookie cutter formula. EVERY Japanese show had the same premise. The "good guy", the "anti-hero", or "brooding good guy", the oaf, the chick, the smart guy. It was all the same crap recycled over and over. There was nothing great about Robotech in retrospect, it was just ahead of what we were used to getting, especially in terms of art.
This basically doesn't make any sense - you are saying, in retrospect, Robotech is terrible because every Japanese crafted animation AFTER it followed its formula? Sometimes, you just have to respect the first (although, I will say, Robotech wasn't the first - kind of in the middle - but was some of the first manga to hit the States that was very popular. I think Starblazers was the first.). TF was copied many, many times, but that doesn't make it bad. If you didn't like the pacing, that is strange because your criticism of Robotech is basically the same as mine of Renegades - except you acknowledge it moved the story along, where I am saying we haven't seen yet how it will.
I respect that you disagree, and obviously LOVE Renegades. My feeling is that it is straying. I'm not saying the show sucks or anything like that. Especially for kids, you do need some connecting threads. Imagine hearing a speech that, without a real segue, changes subjects, and then comes back to the original point with only a slight, "I'll come back to this later." Kids - even more than adults - need this kind of structure. It is obvious that the story with the Arashikage isn't over. I would have personally preferred developing the current cast instead of adding new characters every week, and trying to explain them. That appears to be the direction they are going. If so, this seems very Sunbow - with cameos of Joes and Cobras to justify having them in the toy line.
