Of course they are, Transformers was dope but too kiddy. Robotech had a fucking love triangle, interracial love, shit inter species love, main characters dying, and a great plot.
i couldn't fuck with that space opera. the animation is fucking unwatchable to me. i hated how some animes were drawn like speedracer and shit. but i started watching anime real late though. Ninja Scroll had set the bar for me.
