I gave it a go recently and watch about the first 5 or 6 episodes. Some of th stuff I liked (hey, it's Macross!), but Basara and his song was too much for me. But for those who like it, enjoy! But for me, I'll stick to the original, Mac+, and Zero
Interestingly enough, I saw Basara as a sort of hook.
My reaction was "what the HELL is wrong with this boy?!?!"
Followed by genuine curiosity.
