Microman, and I forgot the other. They were combined into the Transformers line by Hasbro, which also provided the backstory for them (Cybertron, Autobots and Decepticons, etc). Doesn't matter, though, because the original Transformers cartoon didn't exhibit any of those anime conventions, either. Spike didn't have wild, spiky hair, giant sweat drops didn't form on Optimus Prime's face when he got nervous, Megatron didn't call out attacks, Starscream didn't strike a pose before he was about to attack someone, etc.    I don't see it. Their hair looks normal to me. Fry obviously doesn't put all that much effort into combing it. And Dexter's Lab, I watch that on occasion, but he doesn't have that crazy anime hair. Go <a href="http://www.mangadb.de/mangaalt/bilder/gwart.jpg" target="_blank">here</a> to see what I mean. Specifically, the guy in the back, Trowa. I liked Gundam Wing, and I liked his character, but damn, I found his haircut annoying. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> I managed to ignore it and enjoy the series, though. All in all, that's a minor complaint. It becomes magnified only when combined with all those other anime elements. Besides, that's a minor example. I've seen much worse.    Never heard of them.    The voices were fine to me. Loved the series, though. Especially Macross. Didn't much care for the Robotech Masters, and I never saw New Generation. So I'll probably have to agree that it's best that they were never connected, though that may change once I get a chance to see New Generation, and how they worked it into the Macross universe. Macross, however, was fantastic. I was ecstatic when I got the DVD set last Christmas.    Personally, I only tolerate it because they're the Teen Titans. And even then, they're pushing me so far. Like I said, before, I can tolerate little things like the crazy hair. But Teen Titans makes an effort at throwing every anime convention into the pot as often as possible, and it gets really annoying after a while. The Slade episodes are the only real saving grace for the series (I REALLY wish he was called Deathstroke or The Terminator).    This ...  <img src="http://www.batmantas.com/img/bat2.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />  ... certainly looks a lot more realistic then this.  <img src="http://www.yugiohpowerz.hpg.ig.com.br/yugioh.gif" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " data-size="" style="" />    And tend to have normal hair. And they don't draw some ridiculous looking lips, which some shows do on occasion. I was looking at the end of Duel Masters the other day, waiting for Justice League to come on, and they had some short fat guy with this oval drawn around his lips. It looked weird as hell.    Certainly nothing noticable. Terry McGuiness didn't have crazy spiky hair that stuck out on one side, giant sweat drops didn't form on his face when he was caught sleeping in class, he didn't call out attacks, he didn't have any friends with ridiculously drawn lips to make them look silly, and when he jumped in the air they didn't throw up colored banners and confetti behind him.</blockquote>
