Macross Plus OVA 1

There is some bad blood between Isamu and Guld. Interesting that we get a triangle right off the bat. Myung isn't very serviceable, but as long as the drama is there, I'm good. I can't help but notice this is 90s mecha porn, and I'm loving it.

Was afraid to try out the show with the dub the first time because well that's the fastest way to ruin a show for me if the dub is bad. Gonna go through this one more time with dub.

One thing to note of the entries in the franchise are the differing ratios of mecha porn, love triangle, and music. Plus focuses on the valks and triangle a tad more than the music (though the music becomes integral to the plot).

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0110426/

Look at that all-star dub cast. Look at it and be amazed.

Macross Plus OVA 2

This is a damn good dub. They even got the women right.

And so far not digging Sharon's songs. Looking forward to when Myung sings. I guess this series doesn't focus on the war aspect. I like it.

Really looking forward to who Myung ends up with, but if I've learned anything from Gundam, it's that the guy on drugs doesn't live >_>

I'm gonna finish the rest tomorrow. I was wondering, when should I watch the movie version? I notice it's in the middle of Macross 7's "era" so I was wondering if I should beat the movie before going into 7.

Most of the movie is directly from the OVA. The ending is different and, because it's so short, you might as well give it a watch before you jump in to 7.

Macross Plus OVA beated

First of all that was an amazing fight. I'm glad Guld owned up to what he did and apologized. He paid the ultimate price, but that was only fitting.

Isamu was amazing though. He said what I wanted to say all along, SHUT UP I DON'T WANT TO LISTEN TO YOUR CREEPY SINGING!!!

The characters were good but the story felt weak. Sharon was creepy and felt kinda cheap. AI managed to take control of a military ship and go crazy? A bit of a stretch. And what was with those things that was trying to shoot down Isamu when he tried to reenter the atmoshpere, was that Sharon?

Looks like the rumors are true: Next week begins the Kio arc.

This was a strange episode. On one hand, it was a decent episode in general. On the other hand, I dunno. Why the 1 year time skip at the beginning?

We got some quality Imouto action though.

Macross 7 01

First of all **** yes MAX.

I'm not a huge fan of 90s music. Mylene's singer/VA needs a more prominent voice so the music doesn't overpower her. As much as the music genre isn't my cup of tea, Basara thankfully has a powerful voice that doesn't get drowned out by the music!

Macross 7 10

They sure are taking their time with the story. Good thing I still have a lot left in the tank, because I would definitely drop this if I didn't have the drive to finish this franchise.

Basara has been doing the same thing for 10 episodes now. Flying around in a Valk singing a song. His songs aren't bad, I hope they reveal something deeper than wanting to end the fighting because so far his enemies aren't like the Zentraedi. These guys don't care about his songs and in these past ten episodes he hasn't even once been able to complete his song.

The plot, which is heavily dependent on Basara's music, quickens a lot after this. And yeah, how slow it starts is a common complaint I see on /m/, but it gets way better.

Seed Destiny Spoilers up through episode 9

So far so good, the colony drop was pretty neat. Athrun has been a ballar. I loved his proposal to Cagalli >_>

But Shinn... man... I can understand him being upset, but there is NO WAY he'd be able to get away with constantly harassing a foreign head of state like he has been. Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.

If I have to take issue with something, it is the fact that ZAFT and the Earth Federation are literally going to go to war over some pictures. No country would go to war over some easily explainable photographs?

And what happened to that masked guy who stole the Gundams?

Gigil singing > Mylene singing


YES.

And I need the semester to end so I can do a rewatch of 7 or start Vifram, or watch something else. 1 stability and control project, 2 orbital mechanic projects, and a slew of finals until glorious mecha action.

On a related note, I wish an OVA or a show or something would entertain the idea of very realistic space combat. Gunbuster exaggerates time dilation and I see attitude thrusters on a lot of mecha, but then you see them pull 180's almost instantaneously. I know it would cut down on the appeal to the general audience (kinda like not having sound during combat), but it would be an interesting perspective on the future of space combat. LoGH comes close, but is still far away from reality.

Gundam Seed Destiny episode 15

Yuna was such a ***** during the Wedding Crashing scene. I lolled. Kira was acting like a true bro though, stopping his sister from marrying that twit. I'm sure Athrun will be happy about that.

So far, it's not a terrible show by any means. It's not great, but its not tier one bad.

They sure were flashbacking it up the last 3 episodes though

Macross 7 End

That was a fine ending. I got to hear Sivil sing :D

Gamlin got screwed over. Mylene's singing voice sucks. Sivil is awesome. Gabil is is awesome! I loved Basara's songs more than I thought I would.

Overall I think if Macross 7 used less stock footage and cut about 20 episodes from that, this would be a fine show to watch. And of course get someone with better vocals as the female lead.

Seed Destiny episode 18

Shinn is really starting to grind my gears. There is no way he'd be able to get away with the crap he does if he was in an actual military. He's probably the most disrespectful protagonist in the series. Thankfully, he's pretty much just a side character. He's like the Kai of this series. Except that Kai was awesome.

Definitely. And if you're of that opinion, you'll love the M7 movie and M7 Dynamite. They both feature Basara being Basara and little to no Mylene.
