Macross 7 posts moved to the Macross 7 thread.
Please keep in mind that, while the discussion had some merit, this thread isn't really here for discussion. It's supposed to be a place where someone can pop in and ask a question and get a straightforward answer. A question like "why do people dislike X?" is more condusive to a real discussion rather than a quick answer, so it doesn't belong here.

Ah, let me just quote back some relevant parts of my post that got moved too:

Basically, the "singing to Protoculture" part was a mistranslation by Chihiro. I was baited into speculating based on this mistranslation. |

Technically they did have it in robotech, but they call it protoculture. . Quote:
So I wouldn't know what that means ether, under that meaning, unless they where calling themselves that for what ever reason. I also believe its probably a mistranslation, but this series had me confused with how they kept on saying protoculture and deculture around randomly. I remember someone saying deculture was a curse word, along the lines of O-CRAP or O-NO in Zentradi which confused me further that there would be a song about it. Which service is to depress the Chinese "I kid of course". |

Nope. "Protoculture" only refers to the original civilzation that died 500,000 years before the start of the stories. The Zentradi only used the word in relation to humanity because humans reminded them of the protoculture.

Do you have to be full blooded zentradi too...?
Do you have to be a full blooded Zentradi to enlarge "heh heh heh". Can people Who are half mixed, or 1/4 mixed become giant. Someone once told me you have to be born giant. So if the mother was preganent and decides to become a micron, would that Zentradi baby lose its giant ability? Would a mother who is preganent with a mixed race child hurt the child in some way?

1) SMS (the PMC contracted by NUNS to provide protection for the colonization fleet) was testing (or whatever) the VF-25 per the series. This was explicitly mentioned in one of the first episodes. 2) By the time Macross F rolls around (I forget the exact date; mid 2050's?), the VF-19 will have been in service for nearly 15 years. I'd say they would have moved on by then, don't you think? For instance, the primary variable fighter during Space War I (original Macross, circa 2009-2010) was the VF-1, and by 2012 they had the VF-4; mid 2030's they were at VF-11 (Thunderbolt), and by 2045 (Macross 7) they had production-model VF-19 and VF-22's (based on the prototype YF-19 and YF-21, which were being tested in Macross Plus, which took place in 2040). Make sense? Yeah, I'm a bit of a Macross geek. |

In contrast, the VF-17 and the later VF-171 are to-the-point fighters that can be mass produced at a relatively reasonable cost, and its easier to adapt (compared to the 19 and 22) by new pilots. - Tak

What he said. There's actually very little we could relate it to our own vernacular, as it's a Zentraedi idiomatic expression. So, assume it to be an interjection that can be used to express surprise, delight, amusement, etc... mostly related to protoculture derived forms of expression, like music, movies, etc.
