Macross spoilers

Spoiler:

Haruka's role is equivalent to Minmei's

The sweet mostly clueless love interest separated by an unforeseen incident; but only to unexpectedly "return" later and re-write the character dynamics.

Granted, Haruka would demolish Minmei in a singing contest as her voice actress performed AND composed the opening, ending, "Rumbling Hearts" and "Blue Tears"


Mitsuki's role is equivalent to Misa Hayase's ( Ooh.. they even have the same surname. Different Kanji spelling, however.

She is the girl whom the main character makes crude jokes about at first. She is the woman whom he developed a relationship with in the absence of his previous girlfriend. And most noticeably, she's the PRIMARY angst magnet of the series.

I really hope she doesn't hum "Precious Memories" in a drunken haze by the end of the series. I would burst out in laughter.

Shinji is equivalent to Max

He is the main character's friend and is arguably a better man than the main character.

It's very noticible in the anime due to some changes of circumstances.
