Way more than 7, Zero or II, personally.

I looove 7, I liked Zero and II was, at the very least, complete story. Delta felt like a really poor remake of the latter, actually. Like, they had the right idea and lost it somewhere along the way. Others said it was a bad remake of 30. Whatever floats your boat.
I kind of held Macross to a higher standard in general. Every story was different, with it's unique themes and whatnot, and they all worked in the realms of what they were trying to accomplish. This is something I don't feel with Delta (and II sort of kind of tried, but missed the mark, though not completely).
It's really hard to put into words, especially since English isn't my first language.
And, you know, I feel bad about Delta, but after the stuff Kawanyan has been spilling out these last couple of years I wasn't surprised so much as sad. I really hated Aquarion and this is subpar to me, even compared to Evol. Oh, and I came to watch Delta after finishing Logos. Which... ughhh... it was so bad, god damn it. Anyway, by episode 16-18 of Delta I pretty much gave up and accepted that the show would turn out the way it did. With a lot of media I consume I have this scenarios in my head, and with Macross and a lot of anime it's easy to think up a worst possible one, which usually means the writers keeping it way, way to simple and predictable. Which they did, here. Simple isn't always a bad thing, but here it just came off as a series they wanted to throw out to make a quick buck while putting in as little effort as possible. And while I can see how people are okay with this, I'm just not. I wanted more. With Macross I usually get more. Kawamori did crap before but not with Macross, not for me at least.
Ah well, anyway. That's just me. If there is a next time I'll be more careful. I still have other Macross stuff, nobody is taking that away from me. And I'm gonna stay far, faaaar away from Kawanyan projects in the future. AKB0048 may well have been a fluke. Because lord knows, Aquarion is... no. Just no. I'll wait for another year until I decide if I feel worse about Delta or EVOL-Logos.
