Is Macross a comedy?

Is Macross a comedy?

Macross is every genre you can think of. Apart from Yuri.

Where's the homo in Macross?

Its really subtle but they're all gay. Except the women.

Define comedy.

Intentionally funny

Macross 7.

That's not technically the definition of comedy.
Macross is usually cataloged as a space opera and operas are USUALLY tragedies.

However one could hardly call Macross a tragedy. Not many important characters die (except for Roy, which as a mentor is meant to die for the sake of the MC growth) and the MC even gets the girl. There is no tragedy at all, no punishment for defying fate, etc, etc.

By the classical definition if something is not a tragedy then it is a comedy (those two primal definitions then encompass any and all genres) so i would say that while Macross is not intentionally funny it is not a tragedy, thus it is a comedy.

In the original, despite winning the war, they basically lost as the earth gets glassed in the process and ends with them having rebuild society with the survivors.

Here.

Yes, but there is no personal tragedy and they do win. It's more of a shared struggle and it gets an optimistic ending on the lines of "as long as they are together they'll survive"

If you want a tragedy the lovers can't end up together. Success is impossible on tragedies.

If the drama ends up with the victory of the MC it is a comedy albeit not in the sense people understands comedy these days.

I'm enjoying the original Macross. Is it like Gundam however that the newer series get really retarded and shit?

IBO? Yeah. It's trash, but the ending isn't that bad.

>macross
>Minmay wins after trampling all over Hikaru's heart for 36 episodes
>not a tragedy

If you watch Macross 7 it should give you an appropriate gauge on where the franchise ended up going after the first series. A lot more heavy focus on music, pilots doing pilot things, and a hefty dose of autism.

But Minmay is the MC and she lost.

it's primary genre is ntr

7 is fantastic, Plus is great and Zero and Frontier are good. Delta is shit. Hopefully the new one this year isn't shit too.

No, it's just shit.

It's good until the timeskip

duh
7 is the best

This man gets it.

Now everyone go listen to the Angel Voice.

KUJIRA KUJIRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AITAI ZEEEE

It's funny

Misa Hayase best girl for all eterntiy. Anyone who disagrees is a fucking faggot with indisputable shit taste.

This is what best girl looks like user

Minmay didn't win.

Shit hair, shit taste.

...

Her songs are catchy but was Minmay meant to be an annoying bitch?

Why was delta so shit?

Oh, so you're a faggot with indisputable shit taste.

Hey everyone it's Saturday night, how are you guys doing?

Do you remember love?

We will never have another Misa in a Macross series and it feels bad

;_; she was my waifu before I knew what a waifu was.

I didn't understand the hate boner for 7. The only thing that was retarded was him singing that fucking song in almost every episode.

what about Macross II

from what I can guess, the first dozen or so episodes are ridiculously slow, plot doesn't get moving till episode 14 or 15 when City 7 separated from Battle 7, and even then the better songs in the series aren't till past the halfway point and the Protodevilns don't get interesting till Sivil has that confrontation with Basara (plus their is a small group of fans who view Basara as nothing but Kaifun 2.0)

So what is the ranking of Sup Forumss top macross songs

Per series:
Rune in september
Seikan Hikou
Try Again/Remember 16
Wanna Be An Angel
DYRL

DYRL
Tenshi no Enogou
Ikenai Borderline

Minmei is cute

It was by the time Karl Macek got done with it,

TFW Minmay Syndrome turned Generation X against her

No particular order

DYRL
Holy Lonely Light
like half of the songs from Delta

How did a show that incompetent manage to have so much good music?

Dynamite Explosion
After, in the Dark / Torch Song
Ai Oboete Imasu Ka?
Voices
Ikenai Borderline
Information High
Tenshi no Engou
Universal Bunny
The Borderline
The Hush of 200 Million Years (Macross II OP)
Diamond Crevasse
Arkan Part 1

I feel like I'm the only person on Sup Forums who didn't really like Delta's songs all that much.

No Angel Voice?

I didn't like delta, or it's songs very much. Frontier was much better.

Hikaru's fever dream was probably one of the best episodes in the series

I dunno, I feel Macross stands by it formula more than Gundam, which can be interpreted as a good or a bad thing.

Shao Pai Long>Zero G Love>>>>>>>The rest

Even better, its a musical.

Freyja is best girl. All others need not apply.

Literal who

hey user want to try my pineapple salad?

The OVAs are great, 7 is really a dividing issue for Macross fans kind of like Gundam Z/ZZ, Frontier is great and Delta just made me angry.

minmay a shit

My favourite songs>SDF OP>your favourite song>the rest

HHHNNNGGGG

Misa best girl.
Minmay was a bimbo
