As I have said a while ago I enjoyed M7 and its better paced than MF with its character and story dev, its not prefect and dose have story issues but frankly past the aged animation its no better/worse than MF generally speaking. Hell MF might have been better if they gave it a 2 season run and not rushed so damn much...of course this means more domestic goddess/princess eps in SOL vill but at least the core story and charatcers would ahve been a bit more polish.

Then you can imagine my utter confusion when I watched Macross 7 in the mid-90s as a person in his late teens. See, my cousin visited from Japan, and was kind enough to bring with him copies of Macross PLUS and the first few episode of Macross 7. So the result was that we watched Macross PLUS and 7 back-to-back. Now, after 4 episodes of OVA goodness, we proceeded onto 7, thinking that as a sequel, it should do much better in terms of quality. Obviously, what we thought was not true... in fact, the first thought that came to my mind was: WHAT THE HELL!?!?! Followed by: I see that is a VF-22 and VF-19... but... WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO IT!!! NOOOOOOOO!!! The rest is history... - Tak (Kawamori betrayed me)

Well, even though Macross 7 successfully managed to stray from the canonical settings and introduced some unusual characters with virtually no development it still did a good job in some areas. OVA's were quite good actually.
I never really liked Plus as well. Sure, it had amazing aerial fighting scenes but still, I never managed to develop any form of attachment to the characters.

I didn't get plus it felt contrived and forced, My only complaints about zero is it felt rushed but was solid enough due to time considerations. Despite my love/hate with M7 its style and designs are well done and a nice mix of both classic SDF and M7.

Just try to look at it in a positive light. Macross 7 was Kawamori's attempt to make us feel like Zentradi: culture shocked and at his mercy

I think Macross Zero achieves a better balance between mecha seriousness and sci-fi mysticism ideas. The same goes for Macross Frontier, which instead of simply portraying music as a weapon of cultural shock, totally regards it as some kind of actual power as well. |

I think you misunderstood..? I was talking about the balance between those two concepts of which Macross Zero and Macross Frontier achieve better... at least in my opinion.
The part about music being a weapon of culture shock was referring to the original series, and I was merely pointing out that just like Macross Zero (and M7) Macross Frontier does portray music as having an inherent power of its own as shown in the events of its story. |
