what usually happens in an M7 thread......
AGENT ONE (usually) is the first one to bash it because of it's Fruityness and "strict-adherence" to non-violence.
-now- on that latter part, if it was strict adherence to non-violence like the show tried to do, then why did all the CF VF-11 pilots have to die? why did Physica have to die? on that note, why did Basara not get his ass waxed after the first episode?? (I mean, come on, Gamlin had the best shot of any character in that first episode! ohh! wait! a better death idea! he coulda went to battroid mode, ripped off the -19's head, and poked a huge hole in the cockpit hatch!!)
and for what usually happens next:
KEITH is usually the first one to try to defend the above said Fruity show. He tries to come up with statistics to show that M7 was somehow better than M+........ummmmkayyy.....then he tries to show that Basara is in fact, not fruity and shouldnt be killed after the first episode!
my take: M7=: I like the show for the mecha designs, the Armored VF-11 was great to see, the Fire Valk was a different concept altogether, as was/were the Sound Force valks. But as for the Characters, if they made Mylene about 16-17 or so, all the inbed stuff for the more mature and older viewers woulda made sense better. It was kool to see Max and Millia again, though it woulda been nice if they werent "at each other's throats" (so to speak). Basara is once again, Fruity, but u cant deny the fact that he does have style.
anyways, once again my take on Macross 7 is: M7=
