I'll admit that saying the two tie together really makes me want to watch them again, because I don't know that I would say that. The upcoming Orguss US release is as good an excuse as any in my book! To help you out a little: Orguss has a lot of time distortion themes in it. Parallel realities and all such stuff. As mentioned in the podcast, it drops quite a few Macross character cameos and references. There is even a recurring character that is a Millia doppleganger. The end of the story is very open ended so people like to debate it quite a bit. I need to watch Frontier again to refresh my memory... still have my import blu-ray movies to get through anyway!
