I love this anime so much I wanted to makea thread for it.Quite a rarity for me lol ^_^

The story doesnt require you to be familiar with the other Macross' as long as you know a few simple facts.Humanity left earth with thier allies the Zentradi dispersing across the galaxy in colonial fleets in search of new worlds(the Zentradi not having a homeworld after deciding to befriend humanity instead of subjugate,and the humans bieng mostly wipedout in the first series),and that the term Macross is tagged to the most titanic of a city ship's fleet which act like a giant variable fighter.A VF bieng a craft that ***** between jet and humanoid robot modes

I like the combat in this series,unlike gundams which the aerial types have a similar ability to go into "jet mode" the VF's also have a halfway mode where they are still in jet mode but have thier arms and legs.Then theres the way they switch in and out of robot mode constantly in a battle and actually fight and move like fightercraft as opposed to the crazy beam sword duals and "rivals" that goes on in a gundam series.Course this is an anime about aliens so of course both sides wouldnt have the same designs for thier weaponry haha


and this felt more like a review then me wanting to make a thread about it....guess i can hopefully get some conversation here :lol:

story wise, I don't feel like this Macross anime is related in some way, even thought the Zentraedis had some sort of cameo in it, to the first ones, with SDF1 and all that.

Personally, I feel like ranka was a bad imitation of my much more liked Lynn Minmei. Or even the other girl... which I already forgot her name...

by no means I'm ranting about how they tried to give some sort of cameos or names being mentioned, but, they did, which I kind of felt, at some point, like they were insulting them in some way, my own personal point of view. But, as I said, I never thought that ranka had that much "talent" to be even compared to Lynn Minmei, in any way.

Even worse, the guy in there had a hard time deciding which of the girls to take... pffft. I'd choose the other girl over ranka anytime...

anyways, in regards to the fights, I'd say that they were good... but... I still prefer the first Macross...
