Believe me, it makes sense (for the most part...there's no way a city that size could fit inside the Macross, and why didn't the humans just broadcast porn if they wanted to freak the Zents out?). It's your understanding of it that's off.

No doubt you think of the '80s as "old." What do you think of, say, lit from the 10th century?

I think in your desperate attempt to reach a common ground with erfine, you are now willing to raise anything and everything for the sake of keeping a companion. But in case that is not your intent, I shall exercise my boundless patience in this reply:

Zentradi wiped out the planet as a psychological assault on the denizens of the SDF by Bodolzaa to coerce the remainder of humanity into assisting the Zentradi with their skills & technology. He figured SDF's 40,000 people would be enough for the task. At the end of the war, Earth was in shambles, most of its water dried out, most of humanity perished, the SDF itself was in dire needs for repairs and less than a million humans were scattered throughout the tattered planet. At the same time, there was still a fully functioning Zentradi fleet above Earth orbit, while Earth had next to no military power to resist such odds. In addition, the total Zentradi population dwarfed humanity by at least _insert large number here_ to 1. You tell me what other options, aside from peace, was viable? Quote:

O___O
How the fudge is SDF a crap anime? I'm....shocked, considering it's waay better than Frontier. And LOL, I agree with Tak...it's all about Ranka again. Fucking laughable. Back on topic, come October, I hope we shall see MacF charas on the list, especially Sheryl. Just a tiny bump on her streak this is.

But Global lived, and initiated a sequence of events that would give us further Macross series. Quote:

For your information, they did scan the planet, and found nothing. However, whether they did or did not scan is almost irrelevant. The SDF was never in a militarily advantageous position. Ever. Have you any idea how disgustingly easy it was for a mere fraction of the main Zentradi fleet to wipe out humanity? If not for the fact that the Zentradi wanted something, and were basically dicking around for 27 episode of the show, there was no way in hell for humanity to survive as long as it did. Quote:
Moreover, if you look from a different point of view, both the Vajra and Zentradi left humanity with very little choice but peace. Quote:

And maybe it's my modern sensibilities radar pinging very hard, but I consider Frontier in total to be better than SDFM, although the non-conclusive ending to Frontier still drags it down a ton.

Well, this is a nice salad of references between the original series, the Robotech version and DYRL, isn't it? Maybe the whole "multiple continuities" thing is catching on, eh?
It kinda gives me a headache, tho. And, honestly, there's no doubt in my mind that the original series still holds the high ground, when compared to Frontier. To say that it had a bad storyline is kinda dumbfounding, to me. And LMK, please, go watch the series again, if you still want to keep discussing it, as you are quite confounding it with Robotech and DYRL. Just a heads up, you know?

*To me, all the '80s Macross stories kinda/sorta fit together...SDFM TV is the ice cream, DYRL is the hot fudge sauce, and FB2012 is the cherry on top. And all the short stories, novels, and audio dramas are the nuts and sprinkles.

I could not agree more about the classy part. But, if it was just the nostalgia factor and not the quality itself, the frequent (and most recent) rewatching would kinda make a bad product obvious, no? Kinda like what happened to me and Transformers, last year - what a load of crappy, sappy and poorly animated episodes G1 had... The movie still holds itself very well, tho.
Quality is good quality. IMHO, of course.
