What is she looking at?
>Interviewer: So we're planning a page for fans who don't know you (Itano) or the original Macross.
>Itano: Macross Ace (the magazine this is in) is a damned bishoujo character magazine isn't it? I call it "yutori" (retarded), though. Yutori character moe magazine. I think Macross (the original) was popular because of its balance, 1/3 each of cute girls, robots, and songs. But now they say mecha won't sell, robots won't sell, so they turn it into a character-based anime AND they want the fujoshi. I hate the stench of that sort of thing and so actually don't want to be in any magazine articles related to that bullshit, but I said I'd cooperate if they let me badmouth poo and here I am.
>Interviewer: I... see... (tears)
>Itano: I DID watch all of Macross F. It's not fair to badmouth something without seeing it (chuckle).
>So, like, there's one bit where a sniper in space mounts himself on an asteroid, right? But by doing so half his field of vision is gone. And asteroids aren't stationary so his aim is going to be really unstable. And then they use sniper rifles at point blank range? I notice this sort of stuff, you know.
>It's well-drawn for a TV show and they were trying, but the relationships were half-assed and the heart of the drama is way too messy. Last time we had Minmei become a human failure, but this time it was the main character (laugh). People who like this rubbish have a totally different sense from me, so I'd really be happier if they didn't know who I was at all (laugh).
Alto tops Sheryl everynight user
wow rude
DAMN YOU HARMONY GOLD FOR DENYING US A US RELEASE YOU BASTARDS!
unfathomably based
It was okay but no where near the best macross
SDF > 7 > Plus > DYRL > Frontier > Zero > Delta
Still havent watched 2
This will always be my favourite interview of all time, how stupid did the magazine have to be to publish this?
Sheryl tops Alto everynight user
youtube.com
catchy as hell.
Holy shit, I didn't know Itano was this based.
I'm not the biggest fan of Frontier but the final battle was almost on par with DYRL
It was garbage compared to SDF
Kawamori is the biggest hack in the industry
Immediately topped by its own movies
>first macross i watched was Zero
>after that Frontier
>later the rest
>and finally Delta
nah, frontier was way too good for the franchise and the franchise sucked balls
Is she called Ranka because the parasites make her pussy reak?
Frontier movies=DYRL>Plus=SDF>Delta>Zero
I won't rate 7 since it didnt jive with me
It already was.
Sadly it's one of those shows that was a massive coincidence and it's unlikely to ever happen again.
Frontier was shit, almost as bad as Delta.
I've watched Sayonara no Tsubasa few days ago and I still can't stop replaying the OST from it even though at this point I am almost sick of it. Damn, it is such a great movie.
At this and that most likely
I don't know user, it's pretty terrible but not the worst anime out there for sure, so I think you're being a little bit too rude here.
No. Perfection can't be topped
incredibly hot
>it's pretty terrible
Only the tv series. Sheryl and songs literally carried it. Movies on the other hand are really great. They've fixed a lot of issues that I had with Alto and Ranka in the main show.
Only the first movie, second movie looks nice, but it puts TV's story to shame. F's OST is good in any form.
Did the interviewer cry?
this is very important.
The TV series is the best part. The movies were bad, removed the good parts of the TV series.
>removed the good parts
Just curious but what good parts?
She lost
I don't remember the specifics, but in general what I liked the most about Macross Frontier was the amazing worldbuilding, seeing Ranka work herself upwards into being an idol, the songs, and don't actually remember if there was much of it but if there were SoL moments I probably enjoyed those too. And maybe the fanservice to the old Macross.
The worst part of Macross Frontier were the action scenes, especially in space, they were almost always boring.
So if they shifted the balance to more action, it'd make sense that I'd dislike it.
Don't remember if that's what happened though sadly.
>So if they shifted the balance to more action, it'd make sense that I'd dislike it.
Well those were movies so they had much more tight time constrains. And still I think that despite all that they did a great job. Ranka's way to success is much more gradual comparing to the tv series and secondary characters still get their fair share of character development. Michael does not die, Klan is happy, Ozuma actually does something useful inn the 2nd movie, Grace is not evil. Hack, even Ranka's personal pet is way cuter in the movies than he was in tv series
A bit unrelated and I know that people treat it mostly like a fun trainwreck but I genuinely think that pic related is almost as good as Frontier. If only visually it was a bit better.
7 is better
7 is trash
I really don't remember the specifics, I just remember that Frontier had many great moments and that the movies were boring.
I've only seen each thing once.
(And skipped through the show for pictures of Ranka's backpack from various angles)
This opening
youtube.com
was also great. It really played well into the narrative. It really showed how Ranka was taking over, and it was so clever to use a unique opening to show that
Macross Frontier has so many good things to like.
Also, Ranka>Sheryl as a singer.
>rankashit over anything
LMAO
Movies were meant to be an addition to the tv series not the substitute (even if they are a retelling of the original plot). You simply cannot pack 25 episodes into a 2 movies. They even feel like some sort of New Game+ simply because of how right of the bat Ranka, Alto and Sheryl all care about each other.
> Ranka>Sheryl as a singer
Disagree. Sheryl sings better but Ranka is better at pronouncing English words. And it is even pointless to argue because their best songs are when they sing together
SDF was garbage too. It started out good, but the final cour was so ridiculously bad, it retroactively ruined everything. Had it ended on the big battle, it would have been great. But it went out with a pathetic whimper.
I think everyone who likes macross knows that and pretends the final arc doesnt exist
Holy based
the last part was shit but it sure as hell didn't ruin everything. At least the actual ending was alright.
It couldn't even top M7.
>Had it ended on the big battle
low iq post
the first half was kino but the second half wasn't nearly as good
That's how it was supposed to be. Instead we got about 12 of the worst anime episodes ever made.
AND WE AT ROBOTECHX ARE LAUGHING.
Nah. Sheryl trumps all
>Ranka>Sheryl as a singer
based. bless our little queen
youtube.com
Plus and Zero are peak Macross.
no
if they give the original the 2199 treatment, then yes.
I actually don't like that version that much. Listen to it sometimes, but have many others I like more.
Yes?
>We will never know the fate of the Megaroad-01
This is one of the cheesiest, most retarded endings I have ever seen in any media.
But the song is amazing and the execution is so flawless that you can't help but love it.
Well Alto and her did canonically fuck. So there's that.
Cross Ange sequel when?
