I always felt the Southern Cross portion of Robotech was the weakest, and therefore my least favorite. I tried to come into this with an open mind, and I did enjoy this series. The differences were nice and I feel i got to know some of the supporting characters a little more. It wasn't quite so focused on Dana/Jeane. The only drawback i found was how spacy (no pun) Jeane was. I can't imagine anyone following a Lt. like that.
