Interesting, is the OVA worth a look or is it better to just stick to the manga?

Fun fact: Kamelot actually put this video on their website (minus the added subtitles) waaaaay back in the day because they liked it so much. :v:

I think the measure of worth for a series is less whether it employs cliches/shorthands and more whether it contains original ideas that are interesting

The two Macross Frontier movies are coming to US theaters through Fathom events so I decided now is the time to watch all of Macross.

I am starting with Macross Zero. How is it?

when i ran the year long macross stream awhile ago, the only reason i even bothered to include zero was because it makes one scene in frontier a little more fun. and by the time we got there no one else even remembered zero existing anyway. that scenes not even in the movies either

they're compilation movies so there's no need to watch the frontier series, and frontier is 3/4ths a remake of SDF anyway so even that is a little redundant. although SDF and DYRL are good

I'm sad because I have a closing shift on the night the first movie is showing.

Plus is okay.

Also it has Information High.

Seven's okay but also don't watch a 50 episode anime that's only vaguely related as prep to watch some movies lol

It's extremely funny because I had independently become obsessed with Universal Bunny right as the movie runs were announced.

My main experience with Macross is that I rented Robotech Battlecry one weekend when I was in high school.

Plus is good and it has Bryan Cranston being a surprisingly excellent dub actor. It's also very Top Gun which is a net positive in my book.
