Vic Mancini Posted November 7, 2009 Share Posted November 7, 2009 On the otherhand according to Big West Macross II is a direct sequel to DYRL. Wow, really? So according to Big West, Macross II is just a film within the Macross universe starring actors and special effects like Do you Remember Love and Bird Human? I didn't know that. That would makes a lot of sense. Then again...it could just be a convenient cop out to bring Macross II back into the cannon without disrupting the consistency of everything else. If Macross II is a movie/sequel to DYRL, then shouldn't it be called "Do You Remember Love II"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So there are two universes?... The "SDFM/Plus/7/Zero/Frontier universe" in which DYRL was a film, and a second universe in which DYRL (and Mac II) were actual events?

In 1992, when it was released, Macross II was billed as a sequel to DYRL. Then in 1994, when Macross Plus and 7 came out, DYRL was relegated to its current role as "just a movie" and Macross II was placed in an alternate universe.

But if Mac II is a sequel to DYRL, and DYRL was relegated to it's role of "just being a movie", doesn't Mac II get relegated to the same role by association of being a sequel to DYRL? Maybe I should stop derailing this topic. So Macross Fronier...who else can't wait for the movie version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The official word is that it's an alternate universe (or, to put it in their words, "Parallel Story"). And yeah...Frontier movie. Cool stuff, huh?

Maybe I should stop derailing this topic. So Macross Fronier...who else can't wait for the movie version? Originally, Macross II: Lovers Again was promoted as a sequel to Macross: Do You Remember Love. The explanation was that it happened 80 years after the events of DYRL. In the manga adaption it starts with Minmay (and the combine U.N. Spacey & Zentradi fleets) singing the love song to defeat the forces of Gorg Bedolza. So this firmly sets it in the time line of DYRL. Now Mac 2 is relagated to alternate time line or universe status because of Studio Nue not having worked on the project and it's utter failure to re-launch the series.

RedWolf Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 (edited) Now I'm totally confused. So there are two universes?... The "SDFM/Plus/7/Zero/Frontier universe" in which DYRL was a film, and a second universe in which DYRL (and Mac II) were actual events? Pretty much. In between DYRL and Macross II events is the PC Engine games Macross 2036 and Macross Eternal Love Song. In Macross 2036 features Komilia, daughter of Max and Milia, as the main charcter. Only she was born in 2019 not 2011. The main villain is a cyborged Quamzin who brought with him the Bodolle Neld fleet. Vrlithwai in action as the UN Spacy Supreme Commander. Macross Eternal Love Song has a new character Kiryuu as the main character who has a romance with a Meltrandi spy. Quamzin still alive brings with him Bodolle Burado fleet and in tow their Meltrandi enemies. Set a year after Macross 2036. Also in the DYRL-2036-ELS-MIILA universe Megaroad-1 left in 2014 not 2012. And it did not disappear as the Studio Nue universe. All that is considered as the Big West continuity. In the Studio Nue continuity on the other hand Dreamcast game Macross M3, PS game Macross Digital Mission VF-X and PS game Macross VF-X2 are all included in Studio Nue Macross canon.

Just that she's the lesser evil pop singer life to compare Sheryl to So going back, I only hope they do not alter Sheryl's base character too much for the movie. Costumes and song alteration are fine because those are more superficial. I, in all honestly, want them to work on Alto more, instead of any of the two girls. That guy needs development.

Oh idealized concepts of foreign history. I'd love to see someone pull off that black stage outfit at a con without the benefit of the cloak. I've seen manga Chocolats , so the bouynderies can be tested. And suddenly, I want an image of Sheryl shaving her own head for the luls. Though I'm still liking the blue hair.

BadTroll Posted November 8, 2009 Share Posted November 8, 2009 Since DYRL is considered a movie in the real Macross timeline (SDFM/Plus/Zero/Frontier)... where does that put Frontier the Movie at? Some parallel-universe thing like Macross II, or maybe... just another movie like DYRL and Birdman? I wouldn't worry about the continuity too much. Everything is meta-fiction simply because it's easier for Kawamori and crew to tweak things and release movie versions of the series with additional scenes (Would you want this movie to be a compressed version of the series with the exact same scenes?). This way they don't have to worry about consistency too much or their rabid fans who want to know why a character's appearance has changed or a scene is a little different. Ultimately, everything is true in the sense that the events all occurred at some point in Macross history as a general rule. Minmei sings to Zentradi, Basara is traveling the galaxy making people and Protodeviln listen to his song, Macross Frontier meets the Vajra, etc. Don't worry about finer details, because that's all that makes the respective versions unique. Just think of DRYL as another interpretation of the same thing. Ultimately the message is the same. Though DRYL has been recognized as a movie in the series before, but the lines get blurred as time passes and Kawamori doesn't really care. The Frontier movie will probably be the same. It's just as canon as anything else and reflects the same events of the Vajra meeting Macross Frontier. Also, seeing as how the movie isn't out yet, why speculate? Only Macross 2 seems to be considered a parallel continuity. I don't know why though, there's no reason it couldn't be a movie sequel to DRYL in the original continuity or something.

Maybe I should stop derailing this topic. So Macross Fronier...who else can't wait for the movie version? OK, here's a bit of info to help your head explode... Based on Seto Keiba's research (resident guru of all things Macross II), DYRL and Mac II are based on the original timeline created for SDFM (The Macross timeline has been retconned several times so don't get up in arms about it ). The divergence came with DYRL which replaced the SA with the Zentran and Meltran factions. Mac 7 took the chronology to a different direction, while Mac 2 took the chronology along the DYRL direction. Thus we have two universes. The Mac 2 haters like to coin the phrase that the show was "exiled" to alternate universe status, whereas IMO it was simply relegated to what it truly was, no positive or negative connotations were present in the decision. The best part of all this is that Kawamori has stated that all productions are not "true" depictions of the actual events in the macross history, only dramatic representations.... Any further discussion on this subject should be in the Newbie Questions thread. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=26406 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
