  1. Jeff J started following Macross 2 vs Macross plus

    I 100% agree with this, but I think M2 crosses into being too "safe" of a sequel to the original Macross, to the point where I used to joke its Lovers Again subtitle should've been Do You Remember Love, Again instead. It's similar to how a lot of people complained that The Force Awakens was too similar to the 1977 Star Wars. As such, I have incredibly mixed feelings about M2. I end up enjoying it while feeling disappointed at the same time. It hits the beats of its predecessors, but doesn't execute as well. But to each his own... M+, on the other hand, is more of an 80s/90s sci-fi that appropriately feels like a side series. I think it's great exactly as is, but I often wonder if I'd enjoy it more if it was more detached from the OG Macross series. I'm guessing as a teen (when I first saw M+), I appreciated the references, but now it's less clear to me.

    As stated, I'm not a big M2 fan, but I'm very interested in the history of Macross in the US. Would love to watch that documentary.

    Wasn't expecting to hear "Get Free" in a YouTube video about the 32X, but I'll take it. https://youtu.be/NwHZla18P2Y?si=5RN6z5mXaPiA_3oW&t=4433

    Not a fan of Macross II, but decided to re-watch it on Hulu. Seeing all the graininess, I'm happy the fans will get an AnimEigo 4K restoration.

    Macross FB7 is pretty much the only way I can consume Macross 7 these days. I never cared for the series, but I have an odd nostalgia for it. Its soundtrack gives me the feels.

    If it does well, I hope it makes a billion bucks. If it's not a good movie, full of awful studio interference, well, I hope it does as well as The Marvels.

    I wasn't planning on getting the 4K disc, but it's just kind of disappointing that there doesn't seem to be one definitive version of the movie to purchase.

    This admittedly is a big stretch, but here goes. I never met a "Basara" out in the wild. Figured it was mostly a made-up name for Macross 7. Anyway, read this crazy news story this morning, and I guess at least a Basara exists. https://sports.yahoo.com/foul-mouthed-philadelphia-fan-banned-230919642.html

    Which is a shame when you consider how quality the subs are on other regions' D+ releases.

    It's like Independence Day, everyone has their own. Interesting. I see it on the Android App. The option is only for Japanese subs, but it's closed captioned in English.

    Happy Macross Monday everyone!

    My interpretation of the settlement was that FB2012's designs were sufficiently different from DYRL, and rendered several years after HG's purchase, that there was no argument to make that HG could claim ownership, a la II and Plus.

    My head canon iss that Sharon's relationship with Myung was complicated. Part of Sharon wanted her out of the way at first to make sure she didn't interfere with the plans, but Sharon's programming also drives her to facilitate Myung to feel a rush of emotions. Maybe letting Myung get free was intentional...
  15. Jeff J
    What if you want to watch SDF or DYRL?
  16. Jeff J
    Sadly, I'm resigned to being OK with no Macross on D+ in the US if it means that HG doesn't win. Don't negotiate with terrorists...
