Marzan Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 There's no way you could remotely put Gurren Lagann and Macross 7 on the same page in forms of Epicness. Macross Frontier was close. I highly doubt Macross 7 has anything on those two series. My reference was pertaining to the outlook on life of 2 of the main characters in said series and the general mood that it creates. You'd have to watch Macross 7 to understand what I mean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The important thing is that Crucio hasn't listened to Basara's song. Me, I listened to it this afternoon, walking all the way to Sasazuka Station.

Crucio Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) *sigh* Well I can tell you all love M7. Lol. Hmmm, well I might just watch it eventually when I'm really bored. Any news on new projects? If only Macross could have as many projects as Gundam has, would be nice. But it would also suck and be repetitive I suppose. And you've never seen it. Lol. Its the only Macross animation I've yet to go through. Except Macross II. Skipped that one. :| I was given a choice between Frontier and 7. I mean cmon.

RDClip Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 As for Macross7, you really have to switch your mindset to watch it and not compare it to the other series. It is much sillier and more monster-of-the-week style than the other macross series. I have the strange opinion that it is a parody of mecha anime and macross in particular. But, there is a lot to like about it. Some of the battle scenes are awesome and Max and Millia are great to see, especially when they fly their custome VF-22. And Gamlin is one of my favourite Macross characters. Back on topic. I really doubt there will be any Macross production for the 30th. That's next year and there hasn't been any news about it. I kinda remember when Frontier was in development, and i'm pretty sure we got confirmation at least a year in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gubaba Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 If Code Geass and Evangelion get to be mecha shows, then Macross 7 is a mecha show :3 True...but SAYING it's a mecha seems to indicate to people that that it's also "gritty" and "dark," which isn't the case here. (Never mind that the original Macross also isn't "gritty" or "dark," and neither are things like Xabungle...but that's western fandom for you...) At any rate, it's easier just to say "It isn't a mecha show" and let people figure it out for themselves from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kronnang Dunn Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Oh, there'll be SOMETHING, I'm sure...just not a new series. An OVA focused on a Destroid attack squad during Space War I?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF-15 Banshee Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 No new Macross for the 30th. I dunno, we didn't start seeing those leaks about Gundam AGE until... June? July? So that's only about 3-4 month lead time before it airs this October. And it aint even 2012 yet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 ok they sit around sit around and sit around and then the enemy comes and then they die To be fair , Max busting it up was pretty cool in Macross the First. Perhaps not a whole squad, but a destroid pilot could be a main character, that would be neat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF5SS Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Yeah but that bit in Macross the First is just pure fanservice. Putting a Destroid as the main mecha would mean it would be powered up to Gundam levels and be just like every other mecha show. Destroids have never been in the show for any other reason than to have more mecha to merchandise. And then later on it was just for tradition.

Xx-SKULL-ONE-xX Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 Yeah but that bit in Macross the First is just pure fanservice. I don't mind that kind of fan-service. Besides, the Monster is considered a destroid and it consistently does more then get blown up. I agree that it would be crazy to have a Macross show where the main character didn't fly a Valk though.

VF5SS Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 (edited) Yeah but the Monster just shoots stuff. They had to make it a Valkyrie just to make it relevant again. In Plus it gets blown up and in 7 it destroyed the world trade center. Edited September 20, 2011 by VF5SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Plus it gets blown up and in 7 it destroyed the world trade center. You could say the same thing about the Macross Cannon Gunships. They are just one part of Battle 7 or Battle Frontier and all they do is shoot stuff (awesomely). Macross wouldn't be as good without them. Admittedly, part of what makes them so awesome is that they are rarely used (much like the Monster) so I get to enjoy the anticipation. I still get chills when I see the Monster coming on to the aircraft carrier deck in Macross Zero. I don't think anyone called that. To put us back on topic though, I want the next Macross production (be it OVA or series) to have lots of destroids, Macross cannons, Itano Circus and Dakka dakka in general. I hope we hear something soon. I hope Yoko Kanno is involved too. I love the Plus soundtrack, but Frontier is probably her strongest Macross work to date IMO.

Gian Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 There would be awesome if they put an ace destroid pilot for the first time!

VF5SS Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 What our esteemed mod is saying is that if he had a dime for every time someone demanded more about the Megaroad-01 then he'd have a lot of dimes. Officially, the Megaroad-01 went missing around 2016. In reality, Kawamori just does not want to deal with their fates after that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Officially, the Megaroad-01 went missing around 2016. In reality, Kawamori just does not want to deal with their fates after that. He didn't want to deal with Macross at all, at one point - and now look... Frankly, if the next show makes a casual reference that contact with Megaroad-01 has been re-established, and no further updates are given I would love it. Would drive some people nuts though. [edit] - It would be best as some kind of background news announcement as a character walks by a TV "In other news the long lost Megaroad-01 ship and crew has been found secure in..." Then the characters walk on by and no further mention is made of it. Edited September 26, 2011 by Dynaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VF5SS Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Yeah but it seems like the Megaroad-01 stuff came after he was already back into Macross. I don't really see the big deal anyway. The ultimate fate of the Megaroad-01 is never stated on screen to my knowledge so unless you're digging it's even less of an issue.

One-line cover ups and teh lame Frontier did have two little references to it, at least. One being Megaroad-01's course in the first episode, ending abruptly, the other being Bilrar's motivations for the entire operation...
