The thing about Macross is that it about the violence itself; it's a show about characters involved in the violence and how they adapt, respond, and ultimately work together to end it.

There should be a dojin about you guys. Sorta Genshiken X Macross X Gaijin Crash.

I would read it...

You're giving me very tempting ideas.

Maybe I've just become sensitive to the subject because I'm tired of seeing the same tropes in every anime that comes out nowadays. Take, for example, The Asterisk War. Beautifully animated, but the story is pretty typical, and every major trope you can think of has been mentioned by reviewers.

I haven't been able to find any good series to get excited about since Aldnoah Zero. And even that had a really overused trope: the overpowered MC.

Honestly, I haven't seen too much modern anime to compare. The most recent thing I've been into is probably Tiger and Bunny (besides Macross, of course) and Monster Musume, but that's a different ball park altogether. You should really check out Tiger and Bunny though, it's a great action-comedy series with amazing characters.

Oh, I wasn't trying to be critical. I was just trying to start a discussion on the subject.

Oh I gotcha. I honestly don't mind it given something comes of it. Being mopey just to be mopey does nothing for the plot. If the character evolves over the course of the story to overcome it or what have you, then I feel like it can really add to a story.

I wanted to respectfully point out that this character trope is starting to become overused, in my opinion. Admittedly, I am guilty of using the same in my fan fiction. It seems like all main characters have to come with emotional baggage, as it helps the reader feel a bit of sympathy. It makes the MC's accomplishments seem that much more impactful.

Not trying to criticize or tell you how to write your story. Just suggesting that it might be worth considering to downplay the emotional angle in the future. I'm just one reader, though. My opinion does not reflect everyone else's.

Also, if you plan on continuing the motion comic, I had a comment to make about the voice acting, which was, for the most part, superb. I get turned away by actors who make their voices artificially gruffy and macho to fill some kind of character type. Again, it's probably just me that it bothers, but something else to consider.

Looking forward to more!

Hey man, we all have our own opinions on these things! I'm glad to have you watching regardless. I hope you'll keep watching in the future.

You know, I watched this on a plane without sound and it was still excellent.

30,000 feet is a great place to watch Macross stuff! Thanks!

Your comic was so good, it brought out of the shadows to make my first post. I'm really looking forward to seeing what's next.Thanks for sharing.

Can't wait, this is one of my favorite things to have appeared on this site.

Well that makes sense as it is and I think there's a strong enough suggestion that that's the case from what you got so consider that critical comment retracted. Great start.

I wouldn't be able to do any of this without your support. I love you guys!

This is awesome. My only complaint, which is trivial, is that folks in the military, especially during wartime, generally don't let the deaths of colleagues ruin their lives. Everybody knows what they have all signed up for (not to say they're not sad or anything, but they are trained to reach acceptance). I'm guessing you're planning on developing why this character is so bent up about the death of the other character though so I'll just sit back and hope for more installments.

Thanks for the kind words! As far as the psychological thing goes, there's a reason officers aren't allowed to officially date one another (not that it stopped Hikaru and Misa...).

Alright! Finally remembered to watch.

I'm seriously impressed! I don't often compliment, but your work definitely deserves it!

The story is chock full of references to other series, including M-II. Sound editing was superb, especially for a homebrew project such as yours. Looking forward to any more content you can generate!

Wow! Thanks for the kind feedback, man. I'm happy to let you know that I'm currently working on chapter 4 of Elysium. I hope to have it out by Christmas. Until then, I'll be putting up little pics here and there.

I dunno...I think it was a cool design.

It's all looking so amazing!

They'll be fine.

Amazing! Great job! Can't wait to see more

More is to come!

I had a jam-packed weekend, so I haven't had a chance to watch yet. It's on my "to do" list, though!

No problem dude! I appreciate your interest nonetheless!

I've got to say, I love the VF-4 battroid. It's very unique and looks like a tank...But...A fast tank. Almost like someone took a tank, put rockets, legs and wings on it, and sent it to kick ass. I dunno...I'm a sucker for the Lightning.

I'll check it out this weekend!

Sweet! Lemme know what you think!

Hey guys, props to everyone who came to the convention! It was an amazing time! If you missed it, here's the motion comic I presented at 11 AM!

Macross Elysium Kinetic Edition is complete.

It's okay.

I'd be all over that; I love the Dragon.

Any chance you might 3D print any of these?

To be honest though, it's probably going to be Lightning written in Katakana as another MW user mentioned to me.

VF-4A Hikaru?

I'm probably going to have to get a 1/60 at MWcon for sure.

So at the very least...It's certainly better than the toynami, I'm sure.
