The only anime movie I own is the original Macross movie and during the finale a female character is in hysterics so a male character slaps her to get her to snap out of it.
Also some sexist stuff about women not being as tough as men despite having an integrated military.
Still nostalgic for me, gorgeous hand drawn animation, but there's a few scenes that make me cringe. Like the obligatory shower scene with a young woman. Just inserted for the boob shot.
1982 was quite a while ago. There's a few silver linings, like an interracial couple that was one of the first black/white pairs in a major anime iirc. In the finale the woman aliens and the man aliens team up to destroy the giant man that's been forcing his male soldiers to fight for 500,000 years. Also a great soundtrack with some fun 80s Japanese pop. Bit of a problematic fave, still. But I grew up with it, and I got a lot of nostalgia for it. Cool dogfights. Transforming robots. Lots and lots of missiles.

I actually saw macross before getting into battletech so the first time I saw a marauder I was like "hey that's a Zentradi officer pod!"
