Still great scifi after all this time. corny, yes. Amazing? Hell yeah!

People watch this series its an anime clasic, not just a mobile suit genre clasic either. I mean this anime series, especialy in the early seasons had so many things that were not realy seen much in anime at the time. It was largely insired by the Mobile Suit Gundam series but they made this series a unique work on its own. First you have Mobile Suits that transform into 3 diffrent modes. A large military base which was comprised of mostly alien technology which the humans continued to strugle with even after studying it for 10 years. Not to mention the SDF-1 was loosley based on the White Base of Gundam but the SDF also transformed and housed the residents of an island. The series has a very human feeling to it even though there fighting giant humanoid aliens (Zentrati). For one thing you don't realy see the Veritechs using any kind of beam weaponry, instead they use vulcan machine guns and lots and lots of missles and rockets. The way the missles where used in this anime is iconic and has carried over to many anime in the years since, the Veritechs and the SDF-1 launch massive payloads of missles at a time which gave the visual since of massive battles. LAter in the series theres focus on the citizens of Macros and detailed interacting dialog and stories that progress the show well. Basicaly don't let some teenager who's been watching Evangelion and Gundam Wing tell you that this anime isn't any good; because it has bad voice acting and isn't drawn well. They have no idea what they're talking about, mostly beacuse the are POSERS!!!! They say stupid crap like that because it makes them sound cool to say "I only watch anime in Japanese 'cause the english acting is so bad and it looses its meaning when its dubbed." I very much dislike those type of people and Hulu won't allow me to express my more...In depth feelings for those type of people. Any way WATCH this you will either love it or maybe not but give it a try at least.
