Harmony Gold and Tatunoko Productions introduced an entire generation of vieres to anime when it premiered in 1985 with its action-adventure animated series Robotech. To this day the Robotech fan base is thriving and growing around the globe, thanks in part to the original series, films, video games, tabletop games, and comic books.
