Macross was good but not great, MOSPEADA was okay but the villains were total morons, and Southern Cross is a rare breed of horrible even by 80s standards.

True. We don't speak of the Shadow Chronicles. Probably the only good thing to come out of the Robotech ripoffs were the ps2 games.

Speaking of the upcoming live action movie...

Souther Cross is redeemed by way of

- multiple shower scenes of babes
- multiple sexy babes running around in uniforms
- great character design (when it comes to uniforms and armors)
- nice mecha design for hovertanks (or whatever their name is in the original japanese

everything else is kind of shit though but nothing beats Jeanne taking her daily shower.

Southern Cross series' low ratings is the cause why Super Dimensional series stopped adding new shows and cause to shift into Macross series
FYI, Mospeada isn't a Super Dimensional show and Orguss is the only Super Dimensional show not shown in Robotech series
