Where the hell are Sylvie, Nexx and Liza? And why is Maya Sterling from Robotech listed here?

The last thing we need from Yamato is yet another 1/60 VF1 revamp

Sadly, just a cameo for 1J lovers. I never understood why they left my favourite valkyrie (and an iconic one, too) out of the picture. Fortunately, Yamato made it possible for me to give Hikaru the battroid he belongs to.

Here you are a small guide to figure out Macross 7. It's either this Or this. It's as simple as that. For me, It's this:

Plain Alto DX comparison pics. Fighter mode side by side with Yamato 1/60 v.1 and v.2 Battroid comparison with Yamato 1/60 v.1 and v.2, Bandai 1/72 model kit and Bandai 1/55 Chunky Monkey Anniversary

My Cannon fodders just arrived. Man, they're soo sexy! Fighter mode with v.1 CF comparison. As you can see, all CFs sport different colors. I don't own a 1/48 CF, but it seems to also sport a different shade of brown. Looking for trouble? Back to back (beware: VF1J color, due to the particular light, is not accurate in this picture).

GN-U VF1J pics with Revoltech (and other VF1)comparison VF1J is extremely poseable but is somehow floppy, much more floppy compared to MPlus GN-Us, especially the chest area joint. Figure comes with transparent display stand. Comparison pic with Revoltech Comparison pic with Yamato 1/48, 1/60v.2, Revoltech, Toynami 1/100 and Banpresto 1J figure

HEY!

Thanks! I guess we all have to wait for Seito webpage on MII.

Uh, I cancelled the picture I uploaded!

And I'm eagerly awaiting!

I love Macross II. The mecha, the story, the characters, the fact that Kawamori was not involved (uh!), Mikimoto's designs. Sylvie for me remains the best female character of the Macross universe. Oh, and there's Nexx in his Metal Siren who kiks ass!. What I don't like is the the drop down in animation quality of some episodes, especially the first half of #6. I would have liked it to be a longer series, too.

And there is still Flashback to go!

Uh... I must confess I have a bootleg DVD of Dynamite, I'll try to find the CA version. By the way, I really can't believe a radio drama can be taken for granted, as it's only fiction. Maybe the Chronicle entry for Elma and her father can shed some ligt on this?

I can't uderstand a word of japanese and the radio show wasn't subtitled, that's why I missed it! But isn't Z&Z just a fictional story? Maybe [speculation starts] it's just that each colony planet tried to come up with a personal backstory or mithology.

But that's what makes Macross Macross. The coolest robots ever created and they are not even remotely the main focus of the story. Heck, in the original series, there are episodes where we don't even see a Valkyrie transform. I like that (exept when the alternative to Valkiries is Ranka. Then episode 25's mecha orgy is a real life saviour ).

??? Where does this come from? Aren't Zolans simply the inhabitants of planet Zola, or in other words a bunch of human-zentradi colonists?

I know, I know, but I can't take out of my head the idea of being treated more and more like a "milkcow". Anyhow, this is a news thread, so thanks Kreshpy for the links to those gorgeous animations!

Call me crazy, but I really don't know if this popularity makes me happy. I wouldn't like Macross to become like Gundam.

There are lots of new (small) background animations on the new website. My jaw just dropped. Go see for yourself. Macross Webpage

I finally got my hands on MAce #2. As usual, Macross the first is the only thing of value inside the magazine. The drawings by Mikimoto are gorgeous, but I must confess the introduction of Minmei's pet, Hikaru nose-bleed and Minmai "strip tease" were embarassing to say the least.

It's the press, baby, the press. And there's nothing you can do about it.

Thanks a lot! I tried subscribing for free on nico video but made a mess

I think the title of this thread is misleading: simply put, Macross 7 CAN'T be figured out. That's the beauty of the show (oh, my, I said "the beauty"...)

As always, poor Nexx is left out. He was in the love triangle, after all, being the "propaganda" love interest of Sylvie. Oh, well, no one could vote for him as worst protagonist anyway, he's too cool. Going back on topic, It's funny that the most hated male main characters are the ones I like the most (Basara & Hibiki - Most of you people seem to really have a problem with pacifist ). Since a choice had to be made, Shin got my vote, but I don't really think he's a bad character. As for female charas, I have absolutely no doubt: Ranka all the way. He is, but honestly, who would vote against Roy?
