When I first started collecting Macross, I thought the movie following the TV series was redundant. Over time, I really have grown to appreciate it.
I love the OVA for Macross Plus, but I think the movie is tighter, and flows better. It's a condensed version of the story, but it is flawless story telling.
What I am curious about, is Macross Plus was only 4 episodes, and Macross Frontier was 25. It will be interesting to see how they condense 25 hours of storytelling into 2 hours. I guess there will have to be sequels.
Bring it on. The more, the better.
I am stoked. Frontier was a lot of fun, and the throwbacks to the original series was very entertaining. Great characters, amazing action, and I just dig the VF-25.
Sometimes, I wish I had a fast forward button. Can't wait for the Frontier Movie (s).
