The strongest parts of Robotech came from
the three series it was forged out of. The weakest parts all stem from the "creative minds" at HG. If they had any real creative talent, they'd have jobs elsewhere.Macross and or to characters in later episodes alluding to still having relationships with Macross characters.Fixed it for you.

I'm so torn by this. As much as I'd love to see more Robotech I don't like the idea of Harmony Gold behind it. It'd be like asking George Lucas to direct another Star Wars film, ugh. I am leaning to donate still...
No man, more like having Uwe Boll direct the next Star Wars movie.

In order of the pic...
Robotech Invasion
Robotech: Project Valkyrie
Robotech: Skull Knights
Robotech: Genesis
Don't forget RT the Movie (megazone)
-
And it wasn't even a well done redub. How many times did they reshow the same clip over and over and over?
How about that rolling tape clip!??? Its like they are sitting at the HG office and laughing at how bad they can make something and still have people line up and buy it.
-
Their last product was a movie made out of re-dubbed clips from Mospeda, with 5 min of new animation... They actually charged money for this. How could anyone trust this company? These guys are grifters, with a mindless fan following. I will turn on any entertainment company that tarnishes a good brand with garbage (edit in: not that RT was EVER a good brand, but some of you would say it was), I don't understand how RT has a single fan anymore.

Pantera: still a sexy beast, even compared to many newer cars. Group 4 is perhaps the best looking iteration....
Absolutely! I love that car. If I ever have room for a toy/spare car, that is a candidate.

WOW, I forgot all about this. Thanks for digging the thread up.
-
Enjoyed it. Whats with the pyramid thing after the credits?
-
Guys, cite the film or show... Half of these pictures I do not recognize.

I think it's dull as hell, and I don't like the magic powers mumbo jumbo. Or the retcon. I really don't like retcons...
I didn't think an opinion could be wrong, until I read yours.
jk. Yeah, I have to look past a whole lot to like it. I didn't see the creators power as magic, just a higher level of technology than we have. Not much different than the hidden city in DYRL. Saw this as the same group of people.
-
What? Nobody like Zero? It's one of my favorites!
(For reference, this is my list) DYRL>Plus>Zero>MacrossTV>M7>Frontier>Macross2>Frontier Movies>FB7
Nice, we both DYRL first. Its really one of my favorite films of all time.
That's where you're wrong! I actually liked Zero more than I did Plus.
Did all those guys who bash Zero quit this board? I remember when it was out, people were crazy at throwing it under the bus.
-
I liked Frontier. But I also liked Zero, and I seem to be the only one.
-
Do we all agree that we are super excited about another Macross show!?
-
Uh, you guys are just arguing for the sake of arguing.
-
... And its so famous. Thats why we have all heard of it.
I think I win.
-
destroids will be forever supporting cast. Not as interesting as flying stuff. That would be like a military movie about supply truck drivers.

I think you are missing the even more obvious effect of M7. It was not "highly emotional effeminate males" but actual young girls that was brought into Macross fandom. Initially male fans of M7 may have been indifferent to this, but once the girls grew up to be women of child bearing age, they quickly saw the benefits.
...
Please, Agent ONE. visit us in Japan and lets have a drink at Fire BomBAR and you can see how diverse the M7 fanbase actually is.
You are the first one to suggest that the show was for a female audience. That would make a ton of sense. I love Japan! I was actually just at Osaka university meeting with some researchers. I will be back in the next 6 months and will PM you for that drink!

I'd say not loving Gunbuster is un-American.
Its no Golgo 13
-
The ignorance of any other anime that isn't Macross is kind of staggering.
Do we need to love other anime? -
You're right, I am not correct. Twenty-six threads NOT bitching about Macross 7. You must be proud. OK, let me give you the benefit of the doubt here and say you posted ten -- bah, hell, make twenty -- times in each of those threads. That is a total of 520 non-M7 bitch posts. Looking at your count as it stands now, you have 6465 in total. That's 12.4%. I don't know, but that's really not enough to convince me.
...
Actually I have been posting here for over 10 years and on the yahoo interest group before Sean and Graham even started this site. Many of those threads do not exist anymore. Also, most of my discussion in the last 4 years has been in the OTHER section. There hasn't been much to say about Macross lately, but I have so many friends here, I like discussing Star Wars, and other things with my friends. Also, I like seeing what other forms the M7 fans like. Strangely enough, we seem to like the same stuff.
-
I think you have a very narrow view of what an old-school anime is actually like.
This IS a fan site. I would think narrow views of what one likes is a good thing to stimulate discussion. If we all agreed there would be no point in having a forum.
-
Eh... considering you opened with a statement that said that Macross 7's appeal was mainly to "highly emotional effeminate males", I'd say their accusations of borderline misogyny and bigotry are probably justified.
Wrong. There was no accusation with my descriptors or negative connotation. Did I say there was something wrong with highly emotional effeminate males? If I have a Mexican friend, and I describe him as Mexican, am I insulting him? Am I being a biggot? No. I am making a factual statement.
-
I think your borderline misogyny and bigotry needs to go.
Those are some pretty strong insults. No evidence to back up your statements and not called for.
Well, at least you brought this point up, which many people seem to forget. I admit that when Frontier premiered, I was probably well out of the target audience range. Whenever this show starts, I can be sure I'm not in the target audience range. In fact, I'm sure many of us here are not in the target audience range. Doesn't mean we can't love or hate it any less. But let's get one thing straight, we're not getting any younger. And if we want to keep Macross going for years to come, we gotta keep the influx of new fans coming. New shows, new merchandise, etc. (Unlike a certain franchise in the USA which relies on nostalgia to keep it's dwindling population going).
Right. I miss the cold war. I miss people telling me that I was going to be shot at and living in a series of bunkers after a nuclear winter. Made kids tough.

People have to recognize what M7 was a disappointment ...
I will actually give M7 some credit here. It was a disappointment to the fans of the original. M7 fit the times for the younger generation of highly emotional effeminate males. It did bring some fans into the franchise with its different reach (very similar to Star Wars episode 1) but still only had 10% of the audience that SDFM did (someone posted the viewer numbers once).
Robotech Academy - You want a new Robotech series...?

From wikipedia:
Kickstarter was designed to help new ventures, and unexposed artists get funding for their projects. I am shocked that there is not some caveat that dictates that a long running business can't jump in and use it. It just seems completely tacky, rude, and inappropriate. It would be like me (see avatar) signing up for youth boxing.
