Haha all I know is, if there's a comet next year, which is what the government will call it, I will be there packed and ready to go
Plus, it's believed that the world "as we know it" will end on december 21st 2012. Coincidence? I think not.
The only thing I liked about M7 was the carnivale where everyone brought their mecha pet projects and the old guys blasted the building with the monster.
DYRL was the movie version of macross released within the macross universe. I've heard Macross II is a sequel to that movie also within the macross universe. I've also heard it takes place in another dimension which is just a lame way of dismissing it as nothing. The reality is it was released for fun and I believe it hit the mark.
Screw em, macross is still alive because of over seas fans like us. They can't stop the internet. Plus the old idiot in charge of Harmony Gold is like 1 week away from death so hopefully his death will lead to a new rebirth of Macross here in the states.
