Macross/Robotech

I remember Robotech quite well. Yes Robotech is actually the mesh up of 3 japanese animes. Macross was the first part, Southern Cross was the 2nd part, and M.O.S.P.E.D.A. (Invid) was the 3rd part. robotech was considered a space soap opera by many. In the Macross era, Zentraedi were sent to earth to recover the battle fortress that the humans rebuilt and called the SDF1 or the Macross. (It crash landed on the Island of Macross hence its name Macross). Rick became a soldier out of necessity as he was an amateur pilot that got caught up in the space fold to Pluto as the RDF had the SDF1 leave so that the aliens wouldnt attack the Earth. On the way back to Earth the SDF1 and the citizens of Macross Island (now inside the ship)had to fight their way through the Zentraedi armada. During the adventure it was found out that the Zentraedi males and females were kept seperate from one another. That is why human male and female kissing worked so well against them. Eventually, the SDF1 made it back to Earth but the Zentraedi fired upon the Earth decimating the populace. Also during the series a Zentraedi female ace known as Miryia tried to find a micronian ace in battle. She found Max Sterling and after fighting they fell in love and had children. This was when they discovered humans and Zentraedi could produce children. That caused the original smaller Zentraedi armada that was sent to take back the SDF1 come to be thought "contaminated" by the Supreme Zentraedi overlord (Dolza) and He basically ordered the destruction of all the "contaminated" Zentraedi. The "contaminated" Zentraedi (those that witnessed human kissing and culture were led by Breetai) knew their fate and joined the Humans to defeat Dolza. The Zentraedi then were on earth and tried to assimilate with the humans except for Kyron. He wanted to destroy the SDF1 for embarrassing him so often. He got his way too and that is what ended the Macross saga on Robotech. Rick went on to marry Lisa Hayes (First officer of the SDF1). Minmay didnt want Rick to fight anymore even though he had to. That was one of the primary reasons he choose Lisa instead of Minmay.
