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

Due to interest in Frontier, I've been going back and watching the original series for the first time. It's quite interesting, what with all the rampant 80's-ness to it (I haven't seen so many seizure-inducing screen flashes in ages) and seeing all the things that Frontier is making references to. It's all quite fun and I look forward to finishing the rest of the series (already acquired Macross Plus) at some point.

The female protagonists kind of make me rage, though. I figured Minmay would be a nice cute girl, but she's actually kind of a jerk in a huge way. I guess it could be her age, but she has no delicacy with choosing her words around the company she's in. I find Misa to be much more preferable, but then again she's still hopelessly stuck on her first beau. Ah well.

More series need someone Focker/Global-esque. Awesome dudes.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Didn't broadcast this week, that's why.

Most amazing jew boots

I'd go with gg (personal choice) or Lunar. Chihiro is definitely the speedsub variety of group, and while their work is okay (I guess) there are a number of weird errors that get through.

If you want consistency in your fansub from start to finish, though, I guess you should get Lunar since gg only started from episode 6 or 7 or so.

Loved episode 12. The singing scenes in Frontier are so well done and exciting (or in this case, extremely cute). It also made me glad that I went and watched the original Macross, since the end of the episode would've had a much lesser impact had I not.

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

I almost raged hugely at episode 17.

Spoiler:

Macross Frontier is big on throwbacks and references to previous series, so when Ozma and Kathy started getting closer and he took a hit in battle and kept going, it set off major Focker vibes.

Thank goodness they didn't go that route, though. It would've been pretty awkward. And sad.

Sheryl got almost zero screentime last episode, so here's hoping she goes back to being an awesome force again soon.

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

Nah, definitely not. You have to wonder what Ozma was smoking when he let that fly.

I was speaking idiomatically.

The references to past Macross series had me nerding out.

Spoiler:

Alto tosses Sheryl a salute before heading out, a la Hikaru saluting Misa in Do You Remember Love. Sheryl end confirmed.

I thought it was a decent ending to a great series, but hopefully the upcoming movie will be a continuation of the story and not a remake. There are way too many lingering questions that can't go unresolved.

Forget Alto x Sheryl or Alto x Ranka. This is the real end to the love triangle:

Spoiler:

Sheryl x Ranka, Alto x Sky.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
