ghostlightning Posted March 16, 2009 Posted March 16, 2009 (edited) We Remember Love isn't a fansite nor is it a review site. It's more of a place for critical explorations using anime as text. It just so happens that I'm a lifelong Macross fan (I saw SDF-Macross as a Philippine english dub in 1984: love at first sight). Here are some sample posts: TOP GUNS: Gundam 0083 Stardust Memory meets Macross Plus as Anime that Have the Most Love for Mecha The Rape of Klan Klan The Battle of Saturn's Rings: Great Battles in Anime History Remember Love with us!

ghostlightning Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 Welcome to the forum. I've been to your blog a couple of times before and thought you were a member here already. I should've been a member of this forum ages ago, it'd have answered soooo many of my questions. Better late than never. Thanks for the warm welcome and I hope you enjoy reading my stuff. Quote
shiroikaze Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 These were awesome reads. I'm bookmarking your blog and Crusader's blog now Quote
ghostlightning Posted March 17, 2009 Author Posted March 17, 2009 (edited) These were awesome reads. I'm bookmarking your blog and Crusader's blog now Thanks so much! Crusader's Macross Frontier coverage really lit a fire under my ass. Awesome propaganda. However, he really is an episodic blogger and won't be writing about Macross unless there's an ongoing show. Hope to see you around in these forums or in the discussion/comments sections in my posts soon! ^_^/ Also check out: 100th Post: The Super Dimensional Journey of Love Remembered Lafiel as my aspirations for Ranka Kicking Reason to the Curb with Song Edited March 17, 2009 by ghostlightning Quote
polidread Posted March 18, 2009 Posted March 18, 2009 oh, man i stumbled onto your blog early this month and had been enjoying the well written pieces about being a Macross fan (some of the biggest apologists in fandom! ) have fun ! Quote
Lethalzero Posted March 19, 2009 Posted March 19, 2009 (edited) wow.. another pilipino macross fan.. hope we all can meet and talk about this stuff... blog bookmarked.. will read from first post to 100th...and hopefully more... Edited March 19, 2009 by Lethalzero Quote
ghostlightning Posted March 19, 2009 Author Posted March 19, 2009 Thanks guys! I'll post links to any new Macross-related posts we make here. If you read on, you'll see that I 'read' most anime using Macross lenses anyway - even posts about say, Toradora! Will write more and work harder Quote
AcroRay Posted March 20, 2009 Posted March 20, 2009 I really enjoyed your blog, and even shared the Gendo Ikari piece at my Facebook, much to the enjoyment of a number of my friends. Great work! Quote
ghostlightning Posted March 21, 2009 Author Posted March 21, 2009 I really enjoyed your blog, and even shared the Gendo Ikari piece at my Facebook, much to the enjoyment of a number of my friends. Great work! I'm embarrassingly overjoyed that you enjoyed reading, and thanks so much for sharing it with your friends. That piece, Someone's Showing a Bit of Character: Ikari Gendo of Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of my favorites. Will write more! ^_^/ Quote
ghostlightning Posted March 23, 2009 Author Posted March 23, 2009 Here's something for us Macross fans! LISTEN TO MY SONG VOL. 7: DYNAMITE EXPLOSION I talk a bit about Macross 7: Dynamite, as well as Macross 7: The Galaxy is Calling Me. Best of all, this post series always has videos of live performances. Enjoy! Check out the Archive! Quote
ghostlightning Posted March 30, 2009 Author Posted March 30, 2009 New post! Relevant to our interests: LISTEN TO MY SONG VOL. 8: [マクロスF]macross frontier 娘々スペシャルサービスメドレー（特盛り）(Ver.BeiJing Girl) Excerpt: In the banquet that is the finale of Macross Frontier, the main course is the Nyan Nyan Service Medley - a piece of music in excess of 6 minutes, scoring the final set-piece battle sequence with all kinds of excess going on. It’s a tremendous conceit, and a particularly Macross one. They pulled out all the stops in this one; and while even among Macross fans some may dislike it, I’m absolutely nuts about it. In the Nyan Tama album (OST #3), we’re treated to a 12 minute version of this track. While some groaned at the exteme excess, I’m of the persuasion that the only thing better than this version would be a 20-minute one (with Fire Bomber covers). I had ambitions of learning to perform this song, but I’ve already been bested - by 4 little girls. [click above link to read more] Quote

Gubaba Posted May 4, 2009 Posted May 4, 2009 New Post!: Macross Zero is a peculiar prequel Very cool! (It's nice to see Zero getting some appreciation...it really gets far too little.) I would quibble with one thing, though...there IS a song of destruction ("Horobi no Uta")...it's the operatic piece that Sara and the Bird Human are singing throughout the final episode. It's also on the second soundtrack, all nine minutes of it. Quote

Thank you very much for pointing this out! ;; Quote
ghostlightning Posted May 26, 2009 Author Posted May 26, 2009 New Post! Not very substantive, more on the light and fluffy side of things. Enjoy it nonetheless! interstellar flight: hating on ritsu? no! it’s just love for macross frontier! Quote
ghostlightning Posted May 27, 2009 Author Posted May 27, 2009 The Otakusphere is all about Haruhi right now, but we know that Haruhi is a fan of Fire Bomber If Haruhi is a goddess, what is her religion?

ghostlightning Posted June 1, 2009 Author Posted June 1, 2009 New Post: Macross II Lovers Again is On My Mind [This post contains no spoilers] After watching every single episode in the Macross canon¹, I watched the Macross II: Lovers Again. It’s remarkable in that the series creator Kawamori Shoji, did not participate in this project. Honestly, I expected it to be terrible. However I merely found it pedestrian and boring despite featuring many of the tropes that characterize the Macross franchise. While watching it, I got fixated on rooting out the impact of Kawamori’s absence.
