Ok guys, so this is my story.
I watched Robotech on TV when I was 16 or 17 , in Argentina where I was born and raised. Dubbed into Spanish of course. It blew my mind! I've been a fan ever since.
A few years ago I rewatched it (only the first part the Macross saga). I remember not liking the second part a lot , and I also remember loving the 3rd part, but that's another story.
Now 40 years later I'm 57, and I finally watched SDFM like I should have done a long time ago. (in Japanese with English subtitles). It's so much better!! It's the real thing. Now I want to watch the rest of the franchise.
BUT : As I was watching SDFM , I was getting confused with the character names that I knew and remembered as a kid. So I looked for a character equivalent chart but I could not find it online, so I did it myself. (I found many forums and wikis, but not a list like this).
I don't know if this is even interesting, or useful. But since I did it, I might as well share it. So here it is. If you find mistakes please let me know!
