At a con years back got told I was the worst Anime fan ever cause...... 1.I prefer Robotech to the three shows it is made up of in Japan. 2.I hate dubbed anime. 3.I said "Meh Dragonball isn't that great. Feels like most of the episodes are padding cause they caught up with the manga." . Robotech is a fine show, the reason most people hate the show nowadays is because the company that made Robotech, Harmony Gold, keeps claiming they have in perpetual rights to the Macross franchise, which has prevented basically every single Macross show from being licensed for legal release here. The problem is, Harmony Gold actually doesn't have these rights. They would instantly and easily lose any court case over the rights but it is just too much of a hassle for the Japanese rights holders to take them to court over so they just keep on trucking on.

Never seen it either. To be honest I didn't know it was the anime that you need to have watched, I thought that was Dragonball.

I know all that. This anime fan that called me "The worst fan ever" was saying it because of my listed reasons. To him Robotech was horrible and Macross and the other two series were amazing. What is odd is I clearly remember in the late 90s/early 2000s Macross Plus hitting VHS in the States. And another Macross series was airing on Encore Action fairly often.

Robotech was what introduced most people of my generation,I am 42,to anime. Either it or Speed Racer. Were as DBZ and Sailor Moon is what got the next generation into anime. For me Robotech>Sailor Moon>any Dragonball show.

I'm okay with either dub or sub. In general, I first began watching anime with Filipino dub, but once a cable channel started airing anime as well it was then English dub, but it didn't take long for that channel to just use subs. These days there are two anime channels on cable here, one uses Filipino dub, and the other is either subs or English dub, though most titles in that channel are subs.
In general, as long as the dubs don't sound bad, I'm fine with them. Now, if given a choice, I'll go with subs, mostly because it's more or less a default choice.

On that note, I think the original Fullmetal Alchemist is WAY better than Brotherhood. Brotherhood starts out way too fast and then turns over into way too slow, its cast size soon balloons completely out of control, it can't really stand on its own as an adaptation because it gifts over all kinds of stuff they just assume you saw in the first one, and while both endings are shit, the original show at least takes a little bit of time to set its ending up... though granted its ending is still probably the dumber of the two. Then there are the lead villains of them, where Father is competent but incredibly boring, while Dante is interesting but a total joke who is never remotely threatening.
