I'd say that I watch Macross the feeling I get overall is the vibe.
*Macross T.V. series: I get Nostalgic although I think some parts are cheesy.
*Macross: DYRL?: My favorite. I love the final battle with Minmay singing. Hikaru kicking Boddole Zer's ass with Minmay superimposed over the background is Iconic.
*Flash Back 2012. Boring.
*Macross II: Lovers, Again: Didn't like it. However I did like how the Marduk countered the Minmay Defense with their own songs. The death song was especially twisted.
Macross Plus: Creepy.
Macross 7: I watched about three episodes.Didn't care for it.
Macross Zero: MY second favorite. I always get chills when the Bird Man's parts re-attach, The music cues up and it unfolds. The final battle between the Bird Man, U.N. and Anti U.N forces is fantastic.
Macross Frontier: I like it so far. May become another one of my favorites.
