Kaifun was right. Singing saves the day in every Macross entry.
no its technology that transforms song into magical bullshit that saves the day in the later entries, the singing alone ain't doing shit
>>23780373Okay, technology and song.Fighting has never saved the day.
>>23780387You do realize in the original series they used song so they could shoot the enemy
Macross is a musical, prove it wrong.
>>23780387Basara sure didn't look like he needed it, at one point he just had a guitar and he still pulled some weird shit.
>>23780421Basara's basically a Green Lantern
>>23780369Kawamori is a tree-hugging hippie so probably Kaifun was what he didn't want to be but still agree in general lines
>>23780369Singing didn't blow up the Macross Galaxy, or take down the Ghost, or blow up the evil windy plan.
>>23780369I just started Macross along with other old school mecha.I like it so far, especially the main girl, but the mecha is so ugly.
Rec me other mecha/barely mecha anime like macross, with a good focus on romance
>>23780369Basara is basically Kaifun with plot armor and everything working out his way.

lol
>>23780369Reba West > Anyone else.
>>23780369No the truth is UNDERSTANDING is what saves the day in Macross, but it's done through song because that's what sells. Kaifun isn't a part of that because he's just an idiot grifter who is in it for himself. >>23780499>Kawamori is a tree-hugging hippieMacrossworld is dead, grandpa.
>>23781139Are you at ROBOTECHX.COM all laughing?
>>23780483>>23780808I thought he was John Lennon.
>>23780808>>23781268Tetsuro Amino said Basara is John Lennon. He's nothing like Kaifun because the latter would never sacrifice himself for anything.
psycho face
women are evil

Max is such a chad, meanwhile Kakizake died a virgin lolthe QUALITY is going to get worse from here on huh
why can't real life soldiers be like this? they continue to blindly follow orders of insane warmongers

>>2378154234thpostbestpost
ballsy development. modern writer could never.
This would be a nice finale, but there's still 9 episodes left
suddenly 2 years time skip.
Max won
damn
MARRY AND REPRODUCE
>idol songs SUCKbased Kamujin
bitches
How many times is she gonna get cucked?
Done. that was far better than I expected. I'd dismissed Macross because I thought it was just a shitty idol anime (it is) with a really bad mecha design (true) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GvqXCK9tD7oThe anime should've ended here >>23782079 with an open ending that'd be addressed in a sequel, but they chose to continue with an uninteresting minor conflict against Kamujin's platoon and a forced homewrecking love triangle fiasco instead. Speaking of Kamujin, it's really weird that his platoon is the only one with Female soldiers, even though they explicitly said that Zentradi is strictly segregated by gender. was this ever explained or did I miss it?
>>23782035The people who join up, usually, are in it under misplaced patriotism or they just want to legally kill people. Sure, you got your people in it for the benefits or as a means to pay for higher education, but those ones are too chickenshit to go against bad orders. And the ones that do usually get discharged or friendly fired.
>>23782135Until she wins.
>>23782144You missed a lot of things.
>>23780369yeah, he only believes in hitting women. typical commie
>>23781523Their names remain the best inside joke in animation history.
>>23782125No-smokingchan is based
>>23781270And Lennon would?
>>23782073Because of those Tokyo laws or whatever that legislature was called.
>>23782144>choseContractually obligated. They got the money to finish the show and they had to make more episodes, so rather than drag it out they ended it where they intended to and made a bunch of post script episodes.
>>23782519Nothing inside about it; it's pretty blatant.
>>23781334>I will make a world where everyones wishes come true>but to do this first I need to make a brutal, despotic, genocidal magitech empire that rapes and pillages its way across the entire world>ok after decades of inflicting suffering its ready>WHAT DO YOU MEAN EVERYONE WISHES ME AND MY EMPIRE WERE DESTROYED???? I guess that's just the evil, violent nature of mankind.....
>>23782880It doesn't matter if John Lennon would because lots of celebrities inspired mythologies greater than themselves. The point is Basara is a walking embodiment of "Imagine" and repeatedly put himself in between the enemy and noncombatants to protect them.
>>23782886and ruined Hikaru, Minmay and Kaifun as a result.
>>23782144>Speaking of Kamujin, it's really weird that his platoon is the only one with Female soldiers, even though they explicitly said that Zentradi is strictly segregated by gender. was this ever explained or did I miss it?the meltrandi are a separate warring faction and who was supposed to be the main antagonist, after the war with the zentradi ended. but, the show was cancelled before the first half finished, so they finished up what they had and released a condensed second half. just like gundam79 got cancelled in the middle of airing. even japs didn't have faith in sci-fi programming, back then.
>>23783193Lennon did the latter?
>>23783228You can't ruin Kaifun, he's already the worst.
>>23783390>the meltrandi are a separate warring faction and who was supposed to be the main antagonistThat's not true. Only in DYRL were they a separate faction. The Supervision Army were supposed to be the other faction in the TV series but almost everything about them was cut when the series was whittled down from 52 episodes to 27. The Marduk and Varuta are what they were meant to be as a faction of Microns with an army of mind-controlled soldiers.
>>23782445Pausing non-stop to take 400 screenshots per episode might have helped to miss a bunch of things
>>23784181>Pausing non-stop to take 400 screenshots>not using a keyboard command as you go with your finger on the key and mashing it every time you think you see anything then reviewing it afterwardsshigga higga
Constantly thinking "I should post this" instead of paying attention to what you were ostensibly watching has a very similar effect.
>>23784061Are you all AI? Macross was not cut as it was supposed to be a short (for the time) 23 episode series. It was actually EXTENDED to 36 episodes after being succesfull. Not only they did everything they had in mind at the time, but they also added the after war part which was not initially being envisioned. The Supervision Army was never supposed to be explained in detail in the series as the galactic civil war was so ancient that even the Zentradi/Meltradi forces lost most of the informations about their enemy.
>>23784447It was cut. Macross Perfect Memory even has the episode titles (or summaries? can't recall) for both the 52 and 48 episode iterations.
>>23784447OG Macross was cut, then heavily extended.
>>23784473>>23784477A translation of all the episode titles has been kicking around for over a decade. https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/40161-roots-of-macross-the-early-synopses/
>>23784820Those were from the very early version were the story was radically different. They were probably from the pre Valkyrie development period with Breast Fighters. It's like talking about the very brief period in which Gundam was a Gunboy fighting on an alien planet against the alien Zeon empire.
>>23784820This is so early to be pre pitch. Characters and story were going to be different. We know for certain that the series was put into work with a 23 episodes scope and then extended.
>>23784932>>23784953This wasn't Genociders or Battle City Megaroad (you).
>>23783715No, but he got shot so people mythologize him.
>>23783193Lennon didn't have plot armor to protect him from any kind of harm.

>>23788172why tell lies?
I really don't want to watch 7the character design, the art style, the vibe are totally offshould I skip it and watch F instead?
>>23788626If you think of Macross 7 as a parody then it's a lot more enjoyable. Imagine it's a comedy about a ridiculous band, set in the Macross universe.
>>23788626Macross 7 is an excellent series.
>>23788635>>23788975looks awful
>>23780862>Ladeiskek
>>23788975I agree, it's just really different from the rest. I wasn't able to enjoy it until I embraced it's silliness.
>zesty black faggot
TOP WO NERAE!
>>23788635This has always been a retarded take because tonally it's the same as the original series (it has the same head writer for fucks sake) and every other Macross is just as silly. It's just coping because they didn't have the resources for balls out sakuga in between the character scenes.
I like this retro art style
Done with Macross 2That was ok, but nothing special.At least the songs are better than Minmay's goofy songs
Macross Plus is pretty good, even though it's about AI instead of alien, idols and warfare. way better art and animation quality with a more mature storytelling.
