Honestly, you guys are missing out on THE anime series of the past 10 years or so, hands down. I'm not a Gainax fanboy at all, and initially wrote this one off as more wanking from them. But on a whim, I decided to watch a few episodes, just to see what all the fuss was about. I then found myself watching the ENTIRE series in about a day. It's just that good. If you think Macross 7 is over the top fun, just wait until you see the epic WIN that is Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann (emphasis on EPIC!)! Quote

If you go back to the original discussions about the series, I was really close to writing it off after the first episode, but admitted that what I saw amused me, so I kept watching. Boy, am I glad I did! Quote

Ginrai Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 There's not a lot of point of reviewing a series every other podcast has already reviewed. Quote

Its about basking in its glory, and celebrating its greatness. Its red meat, porn, and guns, all wrapped up into one! Quote
Ginrai Posted March 27, 2008 Author Posted March 27, 2008 I'm also usually too busy to watch a whole TV series. Quote

VF5SS Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 But I have to watch all of Legend of the Galactic Heroes first. Quote
Ginrai Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Oh pfft, Macross gets special treatment. Quote
Gubaba Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 So...when are you going to do Dynamite 7? I'm interested in your take on Mylene almost getting space raped by a space lesbian after drinking the spiked space juice. Quote

Its like the Jar Jar stepping in poo jokes, I just don't get it. I really like alot of the music, I love the opening, and I really enjoyed the episode with the Meltrandi fleet. Hell, I wish the entire series had gone down that road. Quote
GogDog Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 (edited) You guys need to bring back the feedback at the beginning! I have listened to nearly episode, and I miss that from the later ones. Ginrai, are you Jeremy or Andrew? Edited March 28, 2008 by GogDog Quote

Episode 44 ("Nightmarish Invasion") was also as close to a mecha-lover's dream as Mac7 gets. If someone hates Macross 7, I can understand why. If someone adores Macross 7, I can also understand why. me, I'm still kind of on the fence about it, but as I just watched episodes 43-45 today, right now I'm firmly in a "Hell yeah I'll listen to Basara's song!" phase. So forgive me if I get a little too fired up... Quote
Keith Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 I'm Keith, and I approve of this podcast. Not everything is right, but they definately get the heart of it. Quote

I'm Jeremy, and we've been getting almost no feedback since the contest ended outside of the couple of posts we get on the blog or if we do something Macross and post it here. Which reminds me, I need to finally post the results of that contest. But seriously, no one has emailed us in months and months. Edited March 28, 2008 by Ginrai Quote

Ginrai Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Really? The most recent email I see in the inbox is March 22nd. Quote
GogDog Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Well, it was more than a week ago. My email matches my username. Quote
Ginrai Posted March 28, 2008 Author Posted March 28, 2008 Hmm, I do not see any email here from you. You emailed feedback@destroyallpodcastsdx.com? Quote
GogDog Posted March 28, 2008 Posted March 28, 2008 Yeah, it was March 17th. I just forwarded the email to the same address again, let me know if you got it. Quote
Ginrai Posted March 29, 2008 Author Posted March 29, 2008 Still nothing. Hmm. I wonder if it's broken. Quote
GogDog Posted March 29, 2008 Posted March 29, 2008 I'll PM you my email. Send me one and I'll reply to it and see if that works. Quote
Ginrai Posted April 9, 2008 Author Posted April 9, 2008 Okay I think feedback@destroyallpodcastsdx.com is working again. Sorry about the downtime. Quote
