Lol at the end of Macross Zero. "Take care of the Mayan people, Shin" *five years later they're all killed by the Zentraedi*


What a lovely, baffling show

Today I came to the realization, after several years of watching Go-Lion and related Voltron properties, that it is called Go-Lion because it is five lions put together.

Do any of those Super Robot games replace all the characters with Purus cosplaying as the other characters?

It took literally arctic conditions, but the members of Fang of the Sun are finally wearing shirts under their overalls.

The second movie goes a long way towards improving some of the plot stuff in the latter parts of the tv series that felt half-baked.

I genuinely don't remember what the actual story was. Like, what the aliens were, evil lady's plan, Ranka's song significance, I got no clue. I just really liked the characters

I finished Dougram, and I have a question. So what's the deal with the first scene, where Canary comes across the ruined Dougram? Did she get lost camping or something?

Can we talk about how insane it is that Gundam got cancelled, Macross almost got cancelled, but Dougram, the most plodding, middle-aged men talking in board rooms mecha anime of all time, got seventy-five goddamn episodes?

Isn't it like, 10 or 15 episodes before Crinn even gets in to the Dougram? Or has it just become exaggerated in my mind? I remember liking how long it took to build up to him becoming a pilot.

The first episode, as mentioned, is a sort of weird pilot that flashes forward. But yeah, he doesn't get the Dougram until episode 9. But he does start piloting regular Combat Armors in episode 3.

But seriously though. It was really unexpected how long they keep fighting for nothing. The real strength of the show is how realistic it is, so seeing the soldiers keep on fighting like that, and being unsatisfied with an imperfect peace was great. I'm assuming that with LaCoque dead, Deloyer does end up getting a more favorable outcome, thhe control of the space port and the removal of federal troops. Which was basically what they wanted all along. So in the end, Carmel and loving Destin are the big heroes of the revolution. It's so wonderfully un-storybook.

I do wish there was a movie alternate ending, showing what would have happened if the attack on the North Pole space port had gone forward

I've liked parts of it so far, but it has a similar problem to the original in that the pacifist character seems ridiculous in the situation they're in

Yeah! I mean, spoiler alert, it turns out he's right, but the part before people realize that is great. The army guys are mad because he gets in their way, and the rest of Fire Bomber is mad cause he misses gigs. But Basara doesn't care, he just wants to move that mountain.

Oh yeah, Basara's a kind of terrible guy.

SpikeMcclane posted:

7 is my second favorite Macross, but yeah, it would be better if it was shorter, the beginning is rough, and I don't remember when it went from a trudge to "I must binge this until the end."

It's a toss up to me whether the worst part early on is Basara or the fairly low number of songs constantly being repeated.

I love Totsugeki Love Heart, but if I never hear Planet Dance again in my life, I'd be cool with that.
