I saw these at the New-un spacy site (http://www.new-un-spacy.com) Could this be it?

I guess..... looking at the armored VF-25 though.... all I can see are the 4 X 12.7 mm head beam guns, 2 x 25 mm machine guns in the intake (torso when battroid) and the 2 x 57mm ball turrets.... Still looking where the 4x20mm guns are. I think I never saw them used in the series.... it's all missiles, head lasers and gun pod....

Head Lasers?

Well I don't think that the humans used quartz from Vajra as they discovered their Existence around the 2040s. I think they based their fold technology from the crashed Alien Star Ship (which became SDF-1) macross the remains of the Bird Human, and of course reverse engineering the zentradi warships (there were a lot of them). Didn't the Vajra Scavenge around to produce the Quartz inside their bodies? Given that up to the point that Fold Technology didn't quite advance (The Protoculture were using it for so long), and the people from LAI have been improving it (reducing the lag time), does this mean at this point, the humans have surpassed the protoculture?

Although they haven't perfected fold technology, since they cannot fold into a different space instantaneously with zero lag time.

Sometimes when I have difficulty I use this site when I used to work for a japanese company... http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/cgi-bin/wwwjdic.cgi?1C

Well we could zoom out and add the quarter on one side and the vajra queen on the other, but that is just filling up to much.... I like your sig btw.... Ozma's rant in "Goodbye Sister Ep"

I rewatched DYRL and wondered, what if they dubbed this in english and used robotech songs?

I guess one of the difference between gundam and macross is that gundam has too much of those unique hero units. Macross has just different color schemes.... Given the number of Valkyries I've seen, I think one gundam series has more units than the whole macross universe combined

The Anime industry in Japan is big... so big that even big name bands like L'Arc~en~Ciel has songs for Rurouni Kenshin (Samurai X to the rest of the world) and Full Metal Alchemist. Actually Japanese Animation always has an Opening and Ending theme made by J-Pop/J-Rock artists, unlike American Cartoons which have a Jingle with the name of the show at the beginning and then the instrumental version at the end (That is what I usually notice). Usually when I watch Jap Anime that was moved to an American Channel, they remove the opening and ending themes (maybe to cut costs for royalty). Macross on the other hand has a lot of insert songs that are essential to the show and removing it is quite impossible (unless you do it the RT way with songs like We Will Win and Stage Fright ~ugh). So if they decide to play macross 7 in the US I think song royalties (or an equivalent) are included.

Yeah.... If it didn't become popular there it wouldn't have spanned 49 episodes, 3 part encore, 4 part OVA, 1 movie and lots of OSTs

Yes it's supposed to be brown, and spiky... his face doesn't seem to be comedic enough for Hayao Kakizaki though

Any Idea who the dark blue haired guy at the farthest is?

That's sacrilege man It's a shame he didn't become an animator for M7....

Maybe they have nothing to work on to resort to such stunts

Am not sure.... VLC seems to have problems playing MKV files.... I sometimes use BS Player Free where the display seems fine although it's crappy when it comes to displaying subtitiles. But if you don't need them it's ok

Well the reason Mari Iijima didn't want to sing Macross songs that time was because she doesn't want to be identified with Lynn Minmay... these fans are of an uneducated lot... jeez...

I guess I'm an 80's guy, given the fact that I listed a lot of it when my sisters where in their teens

Maybe that was just my experience at the workplace when I was assigned there (I'm in I.T.) a few years back. When I was there they don't tend to be taken seriously that time. Going back to Macross F... I think the series was a bit rushed... 5 additional episodes would have helped... I guess they wanted everything to be 25.

I heard somewhere that the supposed ending for Chou jikku yousai Macross was Hikaru Flying in his Valkyrie with the two females on the ground.... Sounds familiar.... I guess they do that for more sequels.... But sometimes the story needs completion for everybody to be at least satisfied, especially when there are lots of character development. Simply defeating the enemy isn't enough. Macross plus had it's relationships resolved as well... I guess they wanted to milk the M7 stories that's why they had an open ending.... I mean they had the encore, and the dynamite seven after...

Not really, Japanese Magazines such as newtype rate Sheryl as one of the top female leads in Anime. Also there was a popularity poll on who is the top female in MF. Sheryl topped that two, with ranka, alto (hehe) and bobby next. Times have changed I guess. They are moving from the damsel in distress to the independent woman stereotype. Also Homosexuality, which was frowned upon in Japan a few years back have been slowly gaining acceptance.

Planet Dance has always caused a buzzing in my ear (hahaha) ... Maybe because it has been played too many times in the series Although, surprisingly, Totsugeki Love Heart didn't... maybe because I liked the song better Watching "Goodbye Sister" gave me a sense of Nostalgia listening to Fire Bomber

Let them have their fun Maybe it's an excuse for them to integrate more macross into their universe. I mean, some die hard fans are already adding macross mecha into their roleplaying games. I wouldn't be surprised if they used the Messiah and the Lucifer in the future.

Minmay, Hikaru, Misa.... The Start of the Triangle is here.... Hmmmmm
