I guess I'm just weird, Macross Plus is my second least favourite Macross Production. I don't know, I guess it's a little too depressing for my taste.
So anyway, I say no to both questions. The original SDFM is still better than all the sequels, the plot/story is just that tight compared to the rest. But Macross Frontier is a very close second.
1. SDFM
2. Macross Frontier
3. Macross 7 - Yes, I went there, LOVED it
4. Macross 0
5. Flashback
6. DYRL - Good film, but it freaking crawls at some part.
7. Macross Plus OVA
8. Macross Plus Movie - I'd rather not have my Mecha porn cut out to make way for concert scene.
9. Macross II
