The classic first part of Robotech that showed me for the first time that all animation wasn't targeted towards children. I was amazed at how real the characters felt to me and I could really relate to them. The realism of the show made me believe this was an alternate history (or possible future as it were when I first saw it in 1985 since the story starts in 1999) and not science fiction or fantasy. My first and truest animation love.
