getfresh

I found this many years too late. Hi, I'm getfresh from SHS. I did the typesetting and effects for this release. I really appreciate all your comments, positive or critical. I started watching Macross in the 1980's as Robotech aired on TV. I Have seen every series, movie, OVA, etc... I've subbed DYRL, 2012, Frontier, and FuFonFia. Macross is a deep love for me, and other fans getting enjoyment from me wasting my youth working on it really makes it worth it. Thank you all.

Because he commit suicide. He didn't just die, his death was tragic and a shock to the studio. After the Show ended they had continued on making cd dramas for the content however upon his death they decided they did not wish to continue that arc any further. And rehashing hikaru is ok if it is using the same VA's lines and dialogue, however they have created no new dialogue for him. It is all just rehash. In cases where the actor dies naturally the japanese are ok with replacing him, it is just when it is in bad taste to them culturally that they will not. If you study the japan culture you will understand why they choose not to go and replace his VA. And as VF-15 so nicely showed you in his picture the meltrandi ships look alot like the sdf-1's design. also their ships open their main cannons horizontally just like the sdf-1. The zentradi ships open their main cannons vertically. Watch the movie and you will see if you watch it closely. In closing, to repeat, all arcs after DYRL use the DYRL universe, not the universe fro SDF Macross.

The thing that everyone forgot is that they have fought the supervision army. The current Macross universe is based off of the movie DYRL not the original TV show. By that the Meltrandi are the supervision army since it is explained that the male Zentradi are one side of the warring factions of the Protoculture and the Meltrandi represent the opposing side. In the original show all that was said is that the supervision army was the opposing Protoculture's faction. In the original show the Zentradi was made up of separated males and females. However, in the movie they made it so that the males and the females made up the two separate armies altogether thus creating Zentran and Meltran armies i.e. Zentradi and Supervision Army. All the name "Supervision Army" was meant to convay was an opposing force to the Zentradi, nothing more. The lose of contact with Megaroad-1 was also never meant as they died in some terrible fate or something. Why Megaroad-1 was "lost" is because they will never do a show about it due to the fact that the voice actor for Hikaru Ichijo commit suicide in the 1990's and there after they will not do any new stories which contain his character out of respect for his sad death. The center of the galaxy has yet to be reached so the possibility of finding the Protoculture is still there. That is what I think the next series would be about. In all the series they make guesses about the Protocuture being wiped out but no one knows for sure. The Protoculture seeded many planets with bases that hid themselves when the Protoculture had to run away to avoid war or enemies so that they could return one day. So it is possible that they have returned to their original home and just decided to hell with running around trying to control the galaxy. Just my thoughts on it.
