mikeszekely Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Canon, as it applies to Macross, is basically anything that Kawamori sees fit to include in his Macross universe, be it anime, designs, or videogames. Examples of canon Macross would the SDF Macross, Macross Plus, Macross 7, Macross VF-X2, etc. Non-canon can be official. Macross II is an official Macross production. However, Kawamori chose to consider Macross II an alternate timeline, and is therefore considered non-canon. Even if Kawamori does it, it doesn't necessarily make it canon. Kawamori designed the very cool SW-XA series of variable fighters for some magazine, someone help me with the title. Even though Kawamori designed them, and made up a backstory for their development that could fit in with canon Macross, Kawamori has decided (for now) to keep them out of canon. Quote

tom64ss Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 "This may sound like a stupid question" "Ah, there are no stupid questions" "You inherit 5 million dollars the same day aliens land and say they're going to blow up the world in two days... what do you do?" "That's got to be the stupidest question i've ever heard. I guess I'd row on out into the middle of a lake, bring along a bottle of tequila, my sax and some Bach." "How Very." Quote
