[Anime] Macross/II/Plus/7/Dynamite 7/Zero

SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!!!!

I also like how the SMS Commander/CEO? is continuing the tradition of grizzled badass space captains.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

nnnnnnnnnnnope, I got nothin

Two comments:

1. Somebody on the design team has a profound love for San Francisco.

2. Why does Frontier have a bug up its butt over implants? Avoidance of a transparent society? Any nerds out there find backstory for this?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

It also helps that the show is actually good. Shit is finally approaching realness, thank God. I wonder if the decked out guy in the preview is a controller of Vajra or just a Galaxy inhabitant with tons of implants.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

The Monster reminds me of how awesome a Battletech show would be. :sigh:

It also seems odd that they'd fold into Galaxy fleet, not actually see the Galaxy, then the previews show slice of life clips.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Continuity errors? Sound the horn of Nerddor.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I see the film makers of Macross have taken to the Charlie Chan method of characterization.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

New episode is the best way to do a clipshow, I suppose.

Spoiler:

Loaded and eccentric Zentradi get the coolest toys

FELIPE NO

So, am I the only one disturbed by the pin-up art on the Monster that Ranka flies around in?

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Also, I wonder how much emergency power went into Sheryl's spotlight?

Spoiler:

Killing off a major character tends to be the turning point, and hopefully it won't be for the worse. The preview sort of killed the suspense with the slice-of-life clips too. =/

And also, just when I thought we'd get some more, sweet monster action they just transitioned scene and I'm all like don't leave me hangin nigga

How ya doing, buddy?

Episode 21:

Spoiler:

Flight pack Klan was fucking rad for the 10 seconds she got to kick ass.

And Ranka leaves! Putting future plot development into a potentially awkward phase.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Show over! Kinda ridiculous. =/

Spoiler:

Once again the basic idea behind the show's conclusion is a bunch of fantastical hyperdimensional bullshit. It just felt way too over-the-top, and while I enjoyed all the omg cool stuff going on it just didn't feel like it had the impact it should have since the whole situation became a clusterfuck. For example, Julian releasing the limiters on the ghosts as a tie-in to Macross Plus, but then they just fly off and we never really get to see them do anything.

Once again, the monster was my favorite part. It just felt hard-fought, clumsy, and believably awesome compared to all the bone-crushing G-forces everybody else was pulling.

When they make the next Macross they need to go back and look at what made Superdimensional Fortress: Macross and Macross Plus so popular. No, not Linn Minmay, it was the social aspect. It's hard to identify with giant space monsters, and practically impossible to identify with a collectivistic bug society. The enemies just feel like foils when they used to be people, and that's why culture had such a significant impact, not some bullshit about fold waves.

Good ending overall, but the show could've been a lot better. Plus I didn't need to see Ranka naked.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Like they weren't going to reach the planet.
