You need to rewatch some Macross then. They have plenty of it. And the looping animation you mention in M7 is actually not too bad looking. If you wanna complain about loop animation in M7, then complain about the poor VF-11s that keep getting blasted every episode. Not only was it badly shot, it was bad quality.
And when you mention Magcal Girl anime in conjunction with M7, you're supposeded to mention Basara and the monster of the week, not launch scenes.
Get your complaints right!
