After watching a couple episodes here and there, I found myself rolling my eyes for 25 minutes straight. However during episode 1, all I could see what what potential it had... had they just tweaked it from the very beginning the few things there were so... corny... I actually found myself liking the characters, and that it could have been a cool idea without such iffy and well... just plain terrible execution.
Then again, remaking it would put a lot of trust in the ability to keep it along the same path, but removing the flaws it had, and may just end up making both sides hate it. So meh.
Really, it felt like they JUST wanted to make a Macross about a band, but 30 minutes before showtime they went "oh, crap, we need to add mecha!". Which actually IMHO, it would have been better without the focus on it.
