Robotech *Update*

So, I'm on episode 11 of Robotech, and the love story between the main character Rick and the girl, Minmei is really annoying.  I'll just say I think I'd rather watch a Jar Jar Binks spin-off movie than have to endure another conversation between these two.  

Anyway, so I used the Googles to try to find out if anyone else thought this way, too, and maybe to see if it got better (i.e., they kill her off).  I found something interesting.

Apparently, Robotech is an American compilation of three separate and completely unrelated Japanese t.v. shows.  They strung them together as if the story spans three generations and three 'Robotech Wars'.  

Original Japanese shows:

1) The Super Dimension Fortress Macross
2) Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross
3) Genesis Climber MOSPEADA

American Compilation of Robotech:

First 36 Episodes -- The Macross Saga
Next 24 Episodes  -- The Masters
Final 25 Episodes -- The New Generation

So what is the takeaway from all this? Minmei will be gone soon!
