Radd Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Max and Millia in the red and blue VF-22s was most excellent.

Prime Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 (edited) Come on MacPlus if you want to make fun of it go to the real thing I never get tired of this one: Where is Gamlin's left hand? And what is Basara reacting to? Edited December 3, 2004 by Prime

robokochan Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 Hi my name is Rob. <HI ROB!> And I'm a dummy. And I have been watching Macross 7 (gasp).....for over 2 years now...... (hides face in hands as tears well up....) I need help..... But on a lighter note...LOVE MYLENE!
Prime Posted December 6, 2004 Posted December 6, 2004 And I have been watching Macross 7 (gasp).....for over 2 years now...... (hides face in hands as tears well up....)
Roy Fokker Posted December 30, 2004 Posted December 30, 2004 Man... Page 9 of this thread is hillarious!
Agent ONE Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 I am wondering why Roy closed the other more controlled thread on Macross 7... That could have been the thread to end all threads on the subject.
bsu legato Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Oh goody....is it time for the weekly Macross 7 thread already?
Roy Focker Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Some people were having hard time following the rules.
Agent ONE Posted January 21, 2005 Posted January 21, 2005 Some people were having hard time following the rules. True but you were only allowed 1 post, so its not like they could keep on it. I thought that thing was a good idea.
Roy Focker Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 Find me two more people to agree and I'll reopen it.
eugimon Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 I liked the other thread as well, it actually convinced me to dish out the money and get mac 7 on dvd so I could try watching it again.
macplus Posted January 22, 2005 Posted January 22, 2005 I agree too, that other tread was nice and I didn't had chance to answer!!
HWR MKII Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 I have M7 Dynamite on the way. can anyone tell me if the animation quality is any better or worse than the TV series.
Radd Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Dynamite still doesn't have great animation, and there are several times where they just put still frames to music, but overall it's prettier than the tv series.
ewilen Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 Hm, I thought the animation in Dynamite was pretty good...but I've only watched it once. About the general "M7 has crappy battle animation" rap, even aside from Dynamite, I don't think it's entirely warranted. True, there is a lot of bad animation in battle sequences, but there are also some battle sequences that I felt were done quite well in the series. I'm especially thinking of the episodes featuring Millia's VF-1. Though, again, I've only gone through most of the series once.
Keith Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 I'd go as far to say 7's battle animation was no worse than its contemporary, Gundam Wing.
Radd Posted January 23, 2005 Posted January 23, 2005 I'd say that the overall animation of the Macross 7 series is better and more consistent than SDF Macross, however most of the quality seems to be with the character and non-battle animation. Most of the recycled battle animations are very poor indeed, wich I can imagine does not sit well with those of us who were spoiled by the Itano Circus. There are exceptions, of course. Some of the battle animation in a few key scenes, animation that could not be reused, wasn't too shabby. Also, the transformation of Battle 7 was always a treat.
MilSpec Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD After receiving my FX M7 boxset in the mail over 3 months ago I've finally managed to get through all 49 episodes and the Encore eps. It took me so long because as many have said before the early part of the show is too slow and the middle gets very repetitive. However I feel as if there was a payoff in the last 10-20 episodes. Some of my favourites were episodes 44 ('Nightmarish Invasion') with its star wars style dog fight and the follow up ep 45 ('Ambitious 4th Planet'). These had some truly heart wrenching and spectacular moments. I just wish Gamlin had stayed dead. Episode 44 would have been much more significant and special that way and would have increased my respect for the whole show. It would have reduced the invincible superhero mecha angle that they seemed to have going, which I hated. Episode 37 ('Mystery of the Space Ruins?') was another redeeming point for the series. It really extended the story of Macross and better explained a few things. Its good to see these explained in canon rather than reading them second hand on the Macross Compendium. Mylene was the standout character in terms of style with the staff obviously taking great care in animating her. I mean she had multiple new outfits in almost every episode. How often does that happen in anime? Although she started off annoying I really got to like her (not in THAT way!) by the end of the show. I agree with most here that the battle animation sucked and the Sound Force designs were a bit too out there. VF-11s in the show went beyond the definition of cannon fodder!! The music is pretty great imo. I mean better than you're average anime soundtrack, something a little different and Fire Bomber make the Jamming Birds sound like the J-Pop candyasses they are! I suspect the producers purposely made the Jamming Birds' only song sound as weak and lame as possible just to make Fire Bomber sound better but hey there were some great Fire Bomber songs in there, for anime. I really hated how the love triangle wasn't resolved however the Encore episode 'Which do you Love' was hilarious with Millia interfering. Great stuff! Encore ep "Fleet of Strongest Women" was just cool. Especially the Mylene version of the DYRL? ending. I mean this had some decent battle animation for once and a few very cool mecha with new animation (Armored VF-11C). Overall I happily recommend Macross 7 for all its flaws as a legitimate Macross sequel. Let's Fire!!!

Aegis! Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Gosh , isn´t this thread closed yet ? I would imagine this thing would´ve turned into a flame war after just 2 pages

jenius Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 just when I get over my intense dislike of this series and manage to forget it ever happened someone always brings it up. It's a lot like violently ripping a scab off just when it seems all will be well. FIREd

Desram Posted March 8, 2005 Posted March 8, 2005 You know, based on average interenet reviews I had decided to never watch Macross 7. But after this thread, combined with the thought that I endured Macross II when I was 12 (which was a feat, let me tell you), maybe I'll give it a watch. Max and Milia were my favorites anyways.

Macross 7 is genreally a love it or hate it show. People have very strong opinions about it. The "hate its" are just a lot louder, as is usual.
