Maybe tell the story of how and why the Supervision Army gunship ended up going into the fold before reaching Earth with the drama centered around a protoculutre antagonist. Or is the mystery to the protoculture the real magic behind Macross? The main reason for me watching every single animated production of Macross was to find out more about them. I was extremely intrigued when they found the protoculture ruins on Lux in Macross 7.

Kawamori is either a genius or from some other dimension. He has the whole Macross History in that floating head of his and just picks an event to be the backdrop of a new series/movie/ova. Just this process alone infinitly assures future macross projects without the usual constraints of any canon continuity. An extremely clever way to not only avoid those constraints, but to also allow other people to continue the Macross lore. This would allow stories to be continued to be told by others should he decide to call it quits and hand over the Macross torch. All he needs to leave behind is the record of historical events. And since MastaEgg mentioned Macross II, I want to propose a theory of mine: (Anyone that has paid close attention to Macross 7 would appreciate this, hopefully) Warning: Lot's of sarcasm to follow in this mini fanfic Macross II: Lover's again is a movie within the fictional universe of Macross. It was created and developed by the ingenious "Honey" Suzuki. After witnessing the popularity growth that Fire Bomber gained following the "Minmay Video" special, Honey envisioned the same fortune to come to his new client, The Jamming Birds. After becoming their manager, Honey consistently pushed for the production of a sequel to "Do You Remember, Love", which would feature only his licensed music, including songs from Wendy Ryder and The Jamming Birds. A studio by the name of AIC picked up the project and to save money, Honey chose himself to be the writer, caster, and producer of the movie. He even casted his own boyfriend as the character Mash. Honey wanted to stick as close as possible to the formula of "Do You Remember, Love", so he scripted the movie almost indentically to the original. But since the movie was not based on actual events, the script had to be turned over to vaious companies and agencies for approval. First setback: following the ineffectivenes of The Jamming Birds during actual combat, the military equipment manufacturers declined any licensing of their valkyrie designs towards the movie's production. As a workaround, Honey hired other mechanical designer's to come up with mechanical designs specifically for the movie which differed from anything that has actually been used. The VF-2SS is born. Second setback: the higher ups at AIC feared a political Zentradi backlash if the Zentradi were still portrayed as the antagonists. Honey was forced to rewrite the script, resulting in the creation of the Marduk as the main enemies of the movie. Last setback: after the sript revision, it was finally forwarded to the U.N. Spacy for approval. The U.N. Spacy refused the allowal of their logo to be used in the movie due to the way that the military was depicted in the movie. Exhausted from the script revision and desperate to find a workaround, Honey hung his head off to the side. With his neck at a 90 degree angle, he found his relief. The U.N. Spacy logo was altered to be horizontally symmetrical. Production of the movie ensued and it was quickly released capturing Honey's vision of the movie entirely. It featured a flashier Macross ship with added attatchments to the main gun and was also less emotionally draining to the audience. It was also quickly forgotten, due to the release of the series that chronicled the "Sharon Apple Incident". Honey found out the hard way, stories about actual events are always better than baseless fiction. (END) Macross II is a fiction based movie created by a fictional character within a fictional dramatization of actual events. OR Macross II is a real move based on nothing real. I dunno, just having fun with this.

The Jamming Birds and their uselessness FTW. Just an example of the usage of Macross II music. Oh, and Miria's presidential campaign short. The humor in how the music is used almost perfectly describes what I believe is SK's view of Macross II.

For me, one of the best things about Macross 7 has to be the use of the music from Macross II. Macross 7 made me happy that I've watched "Lovers Again". Absolutely unforgettable.
