I just finished it and I thought it was OK. I had a issue with how the Mardook was portrayed. Showrunner should have gone for the classic Zentraedi villain look. That what made the first Macross series so great. The Zentraedi were grounded compared to the Mardook. Didn't like the indian weird tatoo they had in their faces. Their customes were over the top. I think if the show just had a rogue Zentraedi faction, it would have been much better.

Wow, as Newbie questions go, this is definitely one...

No, all of the shows marketed under the original "Super Dimension" brand - Super Dimension Fortress Macross, Super Dimension Century Orguss, and Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross - are entirely separate stories set in different universes.  MOSPEADA is completely unrelated to them as well, except in that its creators were trying to cash in on the success of the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross series.

 

Macross, as you know, is set in a universe where an alien warship crashed in the south pacific ocean in 1999 and humanity recovered and reverse-engineered it, leading to a First Space War with the enemies of the ship's original owners in 2009, the destruction of Earth's surface in 2010, and eventually mass emigration into space beginning in 2012... leading to stories set in various emigrant fleets and planets across the galaxy over the next half century or so.

Orguss is set in a universe where a world war over possession of a space elevator is underway in 2062, in which one side's attempt to destroy the space elevator with a dimensional bomb results in a fighter pilot being sent into a bizarre mélange of overlapping alternate reality Earths and plunged into the middle of a conflict between a humanoid race called the Emaan, a militaristic human faction called the Chiram, and a race of sentient robots called the Mu.  

Southern Cross is set in a universe where a nuclear war broke out near the end of the 21st century that left Earth incapable of supporting life, forcing the surviving human population to emigrate to space colonies in the outer solar system and then to a pair of newly-discovered Earthlike planets named Liberte and Glorie.  In 2120, the recently-established settlement on Glorie comes under attack by a mysterious force called the Zor, who claim the planet is their homeworld and who are desperate to recover a native planet which they need to maintain their harmonious society.

MOSPEADA is set in a universe where humanity had only just started to colonize the rest of the solar system when Earth was abruptly invaded and conquered in 2050 by an alien race known as the Inbit, forcing the survivors to flee to the colonies.  33 years later, after one failed attempt to retake the planet in 2080, the colonies send a second military force to retake Earth from the Inbit armed with a newly-developed transforming fighter and the latest transforming motorbike/powered armor called the MOSPEADA.  The survivors of that doomed second recapture force are stuck operating behind enemy lines as they try to link up with the colonial forces and retake the planet.

Ok thanks for the explanation! 

Does Super Dimension Cavalry Southern Cross exist in the same universe as Macross(Not Robotech)?And Generation Climber Mospeada has nothing to do with Macross? 

Would it be better if Korea in collaberation with Japan or China did it instead of Hollywood? I feel America cannot deliver the emotional tone of Macross like asian countries can. Especially Korea. Anyone seen Illang: The Wolf Brigade, the korean adaptation of Jin Roh? Koreans are on a good steam nowadays with the Hallyuwave and Kpop, and they proved with Illang they can make a very dramatic, and solid movie adaptation of a anime.
