I haven't been super into j-pop before, but I'm really digging the music in this show. Maybe I should listen to more j-pop.

That's how it starts. Trust me.

Then you hear a super catchy kpop song and the next thing you know you're mixing both into playlists right beside Bauhaus or The National or something.

I was already kinda :/ about the obvious "let's appeal to lonely otaku who are into catgirls" part and I know this is spergy as gently caress, but hacking scenes piss me off and moe moe idol love love hackers REALLY just made me give up on the first half of the episode.

Wait until ReiRei performs a triple bypass surgery using a song-powered scalpel.

So as somebody who has only watched Macross Plus, this looks like a major tonal whiplash from that show. i can sorta see similarities, but I'm having trouble reconciling the two as being part of the same franchise. Is Macross Plus more its own thing than the rest of the franchise, or are all the shows markedly different? Because I ain't a fan of J-Pop, while I thought Yoko Kanno's soundtrack for Plus was excellent because it was so diverse.

I think that Plus and Zero were more of the major tonal whiplashes from the rest of Macross. Original Macross is huge on the pop star thing, which IMO is presented far more subtly in Plus and, to a far FAR more subtle presentation, Zero.

I kinda thought that but I'm glad someone went and Vine'd it.

Note that (admittedly as a relative newcomer to Macross) I've heard that all the shows are actually in-series TV shows about events that happened. So while the overall events actually happened, some details can basically be regarded as simply heavily stylized (like hacking computers via the power of song - maybe the actual person was really just a good hacker along with being an idol?).

You know, sort of like the Battletech cartoon, though with much higher production values. ;)

So, Facebook just suggested I watch a video of "Macross Southern Cross".

Instead of watching it, I looked at the comments. Oh my. Talk about aids.

If you could condense Macross into 1 episode, this would be pretty close to being it.

Watch Heinz come in and sweep Freyja off her feet.

Mecha talk edit: I only just realized the Siegfried's autocannons actually flip out when the hands extend. Also that shot with Freyja singing to the NUNS guy makes it look like it shoots 120mm shells, bloody huge bore.

This show owns so much. When Walkure jumped in to sing at the Aerial Knights, it was bizarrely surreal.

This episode was really great. I started off relaxed on the couch, and found myself slowly inching forward. By the end, I was at the very edge leaning way forward, and a big grin was on my face the whole while. It's been a while since I enjoyed a show this much. It's just so much fun!

This is really bad and boring and Frontier was better. Both of the leads manage to be annoying and uninteresting, which is pretty impressive for a high budget show.

Man even Hayate isn't as bad as he was earlier. I guess spending half an episode with boots in your face will do that to a character.

And Mirage is probably going to be another Misa where she'll get much better once an episode or two focuses on her.
