Macross

Reminder that Basara is the best musician in all of anime and there's nothing you can do about it.

>only knows one fucking song
TRY AGAIN
TRY AGAIN

Musician: yes
Pilot: no

...

Try to pilot a jet transforming robot using a guitar while singing. I doubt even Max can pull off that shit.

I want to look like Basara.

>lasting 20 episodes of the same song and reused animations
I cant blame anyone who decided to tap out.

Reminder that he literally sang the universe back into existence.

I really should watch the movies, this was my favorite Macross series.

A challenger appears!

i still stand by that macross should have had each series focus on a different style of music like we got with 7 instead of just idolshit but im sure its gonna stay idolshit because its easier for the producers

>Enka Macross
>Rap Macross

The worst thing is that there was no gratification in the end. There was literally no point in watching this shit. It's one of the few things I actually completely regret watching.

>Gregorian War Chants Macross
a man can only dream

>Metal Macross
>Eurobeat Macross

>no gratification in the end
you watch this for eps 24-40, not for the actual ending

Why did I ever think that older Macross was less stupid than Delta? Did I confuse it for something else?

unironically one of my favorite parts of 7 is how stubborn basara was and how his singing literally did nothing until they were able to harness the sound energy like half way through the series. all he wanted was for people to listen to his song which is more than you can say for minmei

just because its stupider than delta doesn't mean its not far superior to delta

SDF, DYRL, 2, and Plus were nowhere near as dumb as Delta

>no screeching space elf gf

Max could probably do okay with such nonstandard controls; that seven-time milf-maker can make fucking Battle-7 dodge.

fuck that would be amazing. holy shit dude.

I just finished the first Macross, is this anime worth it? Is it as good as the first one, or at least as enjoyable?

You didn't go back far enough.

Space Moby Dick was the best part of Macross.

So?

>best part of Macross.

I beg to differ

youtube.com/watch?v=JYps5fUrAWs

I liked it better when it was called "ROBOTECH".

Just sounds cooler.

>Dubstep Macross
>Screamo Macross

Does he really have that much competition?

Will the new girls ever surpass the original? youtu.be/2c7bGAl8Sh4?t=10m08s

Did we watch the same show? The ending was hype as fuck.

The Macross franchise is emblemetic of the idea bankruptcy of Jap society. Once Japs have stumbled to even a mediocre formula, they stick to it, tweaking here and there in the name of "perfecting" it. In reality, it only leads to stagnation and ever more ridiculous plotlines.

The whole idea of music + warfare shouldn't have become a "formula" to begin with. The original wasn't even really about that and had more to do with the power love and entertainment as a whole. The rest of the series especially misses the point when it tries to add sci-fi explanations for why singing is the optimal form of warfare.

>Once Japs have stumbled to even a mediocre formula
This is true for entertainment industries around the world. Not just the japs.

Not sure if Macross fans care, but they just had a concert.

>gamlin starts singing
Name a better scene

...

>The whole idea of music + warfare shouldn't have become a "formula" to begin with.
I disagree, I love it.

A mostly Zentran squad would make this perfect.

bump

watashi no uta wo kike>ore no uta wo kike

>there was no gratification in the end.
>he didn't want to see the galaxy move

Fire Bomber is literally just offbrand Journey, and I'm ok with that.

M7 is like the definition of a love it or hate it series. Mainly because of its MC.

M7 was stupid beyond a doubt, but a kind of charming stupid. Its obviously absurd, but it knows what it wants to be and does that reasonably well.

Delta is not only stupid, but really badly done. None of the protagonist charactets develop or even accomplish anything meaningful for the plot, and Delta kept setting up shit without even bothering to give it a half assed conclusion.

Why any of that stuff with Lady M? Or Hayate's Dad? Or the shadey arms dealer? Or pink and greens backstory? Or Mirage as an entire character? Or Freya slowly singing herself to death? Not only does none of that matter in the big picture, they dont bother to even write some kind of payoff or conclusion for any of that on the personal level by the end.

Its frankly baffling, like there was another 4 or so episodes of the show that never aired.

>add sci-fi explanations for why singing is the optimal form of warfare.
Only 7 and Delta really do this. Plus is just mass hypnosis by an AI and Frontier is hacking a hive mind's communications network with an emotional component

ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

was he a cuck

youtube.com/watch?v=rAwjMxo5L-U

I need to cuck Hayate.

>will die before getting old and losing her sparkle
>wouldn't be a good mother anyway
good enough

WOOOOOW WOOOOOOW WOOOOOOW

He watched another man serenade to his waifu for a dozen or so episodes.

>you will never have a hot giant alien rocker fall in love with you

>when a character ruins an entire franchise

first time basara does AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Wierd that 7 is basically the only macross that doesn't use aidoru music.
>inb4 Plus
Sheryl was literally a vocaloid based on an idol.

>Wierd that 7 is basically the only macross that doesn't use aidoru music.
Macross Zero

In my defense, most people want to forget that Zero ever happened.

I do like that in SRW, Basara is the only who defeats Sheryl by out-rocking her.

Plus is the best macross.

Freyja is the cutest singer.

Debate me at your own peril.

I care. I'd give a kidney to go to a Macross concert.

That song has ended entire wars. His autism was focused into creating the ultimate song.
NOW FUCKING LISTEN TO IT!

>Name a better scene
Gigil starts singing.

>people shitting on Macross 7
>people shitting on the ending of Macross 7

The hell? All of Dynamite 7 was awesome, and the scene where Basara sings to the Space Whales and then, along with Gamlin, tells Mylene to gtfo is one of the best in the entire franchise.

...

Also this happens

hoping next Macross show has a giant meltradi singer
youtu.be/POUBV-KDJh0
I didnt ask for these feels

>hoping next Macross show has a giant meltradi singer
I just want more of them in general

...

Ranka and Sheryl are better.

Did you lads watch that recap/crossover with 7 and Frontier?

youtube.com/watch?v=Tf-hD_DFeyU

It was pretty fun desu

DYNAMITE

best macross girl all time

Is there any more anime like macross that uses music so well?

symphogeyahhh

AKB0048

...

>Ska Macross
>NWOBHM Macross
>Funk Macross
mash-up Macross
I'm fucking ready.

>Ska Macross
Delta's most memorable song was super influenced by ska.

Yeah, but imagine a whole space-rescue song-squad dressed in checkered zoot suits and suspenders jamming on brass and skanking to off-beat tunes all of the time

Why are the romances between the side characters always so much better than the main love triangle?
>Max and Millia
>Mikhail and Klan
>Messer and Kaname

>Messer and Kaname
>Romance

nigga got friendzoned lmao

Ranka had some good songs. Sheryl's songs are god tier all around.

DYNAMITE

in decreasing order
Venus Wars and Bubblegum Crisis have a godly sync of the music and the ongoing scene, but it mostly isn't part of what happens in the anime unlike with THE BEAUTY OF REPETITION

DYNAMITE

EXPLOSION ONCE AGAIN
