All of them. I never talk about it in public, except giant robots. It's the only socially acceptable version. I thank Transformers for this.

I dunno man, even when I talk about Gundams in public sometimes I get some strange looks.

Then again, that's just what happens when I try to explain the UC timeline.

Yeah, I generally stick to what the average American finds OK. Transformers is good. Pacific Rim is older but OK. I don't go into Macross too deep unless I know they're cool with it.

Everyone loves cowboy bebop, and a lot of shounen anime has penetrated pretty far - DBZ, Naruto, One Piece, etc.
