And while I adored the feature films, I have faint memories of the TV anime series, and even then, the films' messages fly above my merger intellect, while I focused on the "awesome mechs", and continue to collect the collectibles that only recently as I had rewatched said anime-films on Prime (still not grasping the context entirely), reminded me of loving the concept, and filling up my display shelf, cheers...
