Wow! I just finished it tonight (and a bottle of wine). Pretty heavy. I'll definitley need to watch it over. But I really like it and it wasn't as Apocalypse Now as I thought. Watch it with an open mind and you feel the Macross in it. It just focuses more on details of characters we aren't familiar with but it ties in to the big picture. I wish there was more Roy though. I 50/50 had a feeling he wasn't going to have the stage for the most part but it was enough. When you watch SDF Macross and DRYL afterwards, you see Roy as a humble dude because he has been though some serious X-File experiences that isn't hinted in the sequels.
Claudia? Oh well.
Now I MUST have a VF-OS
BTW, the VF0 in blue (like the TV Jenius) is bad ass. I hope they release it.
