I do think that Hikaru made the right choice. You of course feel bad for Minmay, but what happened, happened. It's a good thing they didn't show Minmay thinking of Hikaru as she taught the Zentradi, it would have hurt even more. And it did hurt. I felt bad for her. Quote:

Yeah, I picked up on her putting on her coat as they walked out. Always funny when they hint it like that.

A year ago or so, I wanted to show the beginning to two friends, one of which kinda remembered Robotech from back in the day, but neither of them anime fan. While they didn't say anything like "**** it's incredible", they kept me from stopping the movie and we ended up watching it till the end |

Although it should be noted that several elements of DYRL have since been retconned to the broader Macross universe. For example, Exedol looks the way he does because he is supposed to be a Data Zentradi, while Breetai is all-muscle because and capable of resisting against the effects of space vaccum because he is a Commander Zentradi. Of course, the female versions of these types of Zentradi remains to be seen (and hopefully never seen). Not to mention they now have elven ears... - Tak

I don't like any of the redesigns for DYRL. The male ones are hideous and the females are boring; the TV series designs had so much more character and life, especially Exsedol. I don't think they're justified by making the Zentradi look more suitable to their functions, either. TV seires Britai was already pretty powerful in appearance, and you don't absolutely need your character to have a huge brain just because they're associated with "genius" traits.
And we have seen a female Zentradi advisor: in "Fleet of the Strongest Women", who had a perfectly normal head; just another of the fun double standards in DYRL's character design. The gender war, while it might have streamlined the story, was also kind of stupid. Honestly, the Zentradi are my favourite thing about Macross, and when they are altered in this manner, it spoils the rest of the film for me. DYRL is gorgeously animated, but I don't like it very much. |
