I would like to thank the singer of this song for going as hard as he did. He could’ve easily phoned it in, thinking this just an intro to a silly cartoon few people would remember later on, but he has the conviction to take it seriously and give us a kick-ass performance that still resonates with people.

[@johnvantongerenJVT]

Nice compliment, Thanks! I’ve put the original version up on all the streaming services for everyone to enjoy.

[@fabricioazevedo2361]

I think it is bizarre that in 80's/90's so many cartoons had amazing themes. Nowadays all of them sounds bad.

[@FureyinHD]

​@fabricioazevedo2361 all of the epic songs come from a small group of people (Shuki Levi springs to mind). I think we were just super lucky to have some extraordinarily talented people at work at the time.

[@ModernBarbarian187]

It is a shame this show never took off. It had a great setting, cool characters, and a theme song that was a call to adventure. Space cowboys.

[@eugenux]

the reason it wasn't more popular was 'the saber rider and the star sheriffs', which became infinitely more popular, although the story and action was a little on the weak side; everything beside that was a little better.. from the characters, to the tune, everything was slightly better. I liked the action and envrionment in the galaxy rangers better but, ending up singing saber rider tune, liking April(to this day, the name) and wanting a red fury turbo(which, as an adult, I have a red turbo "fury racer"). The rangers were the more serious guys.. *more adult* but I really liked both series, everything considered.

[@lmichaellangobarda7906]

@@eugenuxit’s interesting that you say Galaxy Rangers was outcompeted by a show I’ve never heard of (I’m 57, so I was definitely around when Galaxy Rangers was on air). I’m curious about this other show, since you say it’s the reason Galaxy Rangers wasn’t in production longer; but I’ve never heard anyone else even mention it and have certainly never seen so much as a 30 second ad for it, so I have to ask just how good or popular was it? I’m not trying to be antagonistic. I know tone doesn’t convey well, so I’ll explicitly lay down that I’m asking sincerely.

Which is why Robotech was so shocking to us at the time. They kept most of the death from the original Macross, Southern Cross, and Mospeada series. I don't think that show would make it onto broadcast TV today. In fact I think the violence and implied sex got it abruptly pulled back in '86. Macross even showed billions of people getting vaporized by thermonuclear explosions in one episode. That's gotta be a record for an animated show aired in America!

[@anubis19801]

Actually, two of the episodes are widely considered by fans to serve as finales of sorts to the show. The final episode aired (Heartbeat) served to resolve the long-running Tarkon/Scarecrow story arc, while an earlier episode titled Armada is viewed as the true series finale despite airing earlier, as the Crown suffered its most devastating defeat in history in that one by losing a significant portion of its fleet, which more than likely hastened its inevitable collapse.
