Too many lolis in AGE. Even the adults look like lolis


What no, there are like NO lolis in AGE.

And some of the adult females actually look middle-aged, what the hell are you on about?

Macross TV
Do You Remember Love?
Macross 7/Encore/Plus/Movie

Are there any holes in that?

I've decided to buy a Genoace Custom and G-Bouncer to honor Woolf.

Anyway, the last couple episodes have been pretty good actually(29-31). Minimal Fllay. Some pretty emotional deaths. My only question:

How the hell did Kira end up with Lacus after Athrun self-destructed? Was he blown so high that he reached a space colony?

There's flashback 2012 which isn't too important but still good. Then there's Macross 2, which wasn't produced by Studio Nue and is non-canon (though still quite enjoyable). I think both of these were made a little before/after Do You Remember Love.

Macross 7 Dynamite is an OVA you're missing.

And finally, after Macross Prus there's Zero and Frontier/movies to round out the franchise.

But definitely start off with SDF. It might be robotech nostalgia carrying over into macross, but I think SDF does the best job conveying the overall spirit and message of the franchise.

Geez, some of you need to be a bit more subtle on the AGE spoilers. >_>

And the only finished mecha series I plan on watching in the near future is Evangelion. Been meaning to do so for awhile but haven't really got around to it other than seeing a few random episodes off of adult swim.

While that is true, it's just HOW it happened.

It all came down to Asemu being stupid and rushing in, but at least he got his revenge the very same episode, so I'll give him credit for that.

And the rivalry between Asemu and Zeheart started out good, but it's reaching downright obsessive level now.
Yeah yeah I know, gotta appease to the fangirls.

But on to the point about Gen 2 not living it up, I agree with you. I find Asemu to be a little more annoying than I can handle. Definitely find Gen 1 to be better in terms of protagonist. I've heard this Gen is supposed to be ending soon as well. Looking forward to male Romary.

Here's hoping Gen 2 wraps up with our ponytail friend the same way Zeta wrapped up!

You should definitely watch the original trilogy!

Don't need to watch the MSG tv series, the three movies should be enough.
Zeta is a must watch, you can hate it but it's pretty much the most important of the original trilogies.
ZZ is ok, you don't really have to watch it to really get most of the newer shows since not many try to emulate it.

But I highly reccomend you burn through ZZ even if you think it sucks, because it helps set up Unicorn, which is pretty much one of the finest things I've watched. Other than that you don't really have to watch the others like Victory/X/etc since no one likes to talk about them for some reason!

Yea you definitely need to watch MSG/Zeta/ZZ + Char's Counterattack to fully appreciate Unicorn. There's an insane amount of references to the older stuff that you'll mark out hard if you understood them!

Agreeing with Granzon that to fully appreciate Unicorn, watch 0079, Z, ZZ, and CA.

0079: One of my favorite shows ever. It's definitely a 1970s show, but I personally love it. I prefer the series over the movies. The movies seem a little too "cliff note"ish to me and the soundtrack isn't as good, but it's still not a bad experience.

Zeta: The heart of the UC, IMHO. Another fantastic show, though most people seem to hate alot of the characters. I personally liked all of them >_>. DO NOT WATCH THE FILMS. They're not a good substitute. They're not even a good cliff note version. Some of the most important and iconic scenes were removed, including what is known as Char's Dakar speech, which is a turning point in his character development

ZZ: Most people hate this show. It has a lot of corny slapstick humor. I thought it was fun though. Some great MS designs and great characters.

CCA: This used to be the conclusion of the main UC storyline, but now Unicorn has taken that role, I guess.

I also HIGHLY recommend the other OVA gundams that came before Unicorn

08th MS Team and 0083 Stardust memory are just so awesome. 0083 in particular is like eye porn for the Gundam enthusiast.

They are both also set in the UC timeline but are considered sidestories not necessary for understanding the plot.

Probably the order he watched it in, knowing Granzon.

As for how I watched it..

I watched Wing and 08th MS Team when they were on Toonami, along with most of 0079. A few years later, I watched pieces of Seed when it was on, but didn't care for it.

Then, since mid September I've been watching the franchise in (approximately) production order.

I just need to finish Seed, and then watch Seed Destiny and I'll have watched everything.

Not counting the SD Gundam shows.

I could see the logic in doing the series in chronological order, but for me, I'd rather see how various ideas and concepts evolved.

I guess its the same argument I have for reading the Chronicle of Narnia books in written order rather than chronological

Overall, I think it's been better than Gen 1, though I know I'm in the minority. Less obnoxious Emily-esque characters (though there is still one), more intense fighting. The only problem is that ever since Asem has joined the military, the plot has felt stagnant to a degree. No real sense of escalation.

But its still a pretty alright show in my book.

yeah I was in this phase where i was watching pretty much ANYTHING new that came out on a certain website. So I gave Unicorn a try and then zea yelled at me for being an idiot and said i wanted to watch gundam I had to watch it from the beginning. So I did.

yeah I'd agree with this pretty much.

The only real escalation has been that Asemu is really kind of stupid, in like a Katz way. But now that his actions have had CONSEQUENCES maybe he'll start growing as a person.

It wouldn't be so bad if Asem's gen was a full series, but we only have like 3 episodes left according to rumors (plus the fact they're already pumping out gen 3 promo stuff). So yeah.

I guess that is my problem with AGE. The pacing is weird and it feels like they mismanage what time they do have. Rather than building up the conflict, they seem to just kind of waste it on re-iterating stuff.
