Hey, rag on Macross II all you want. It may not be the greatest of the entire series, but now that I look back on it, if it wasn't for Macross II being released in the states, I'd probably be watching Robotech and not knowing the difference.
Like I said, it probably isn't the best Macross has to offer, but it was good enough to get me into it. And for that it will always hold a special place in my heart.
