Synopsis

35 years have passed since Lynn Minmay had brought peace between the Zentradi and the humans in the events of Macross. Nekki Basara is a guitarist and a singer of the band Fire Bomber. Living in a less-developed part of the flying colony City 7 which is looking for a habitable planet, he composes and sings songs in the belief that music holds a greater power.

During its flight, an unknown alien race appeared and started laying siege upon City 7. However, its attacks are not conventional -- instead of trying to destroy them, they steal what is known as "spiritia", rendering victims unresponsive and zombie-like. During these battles, Basara always goes out into the middle of the warzone, singing his songs and expecting friend and foe to listen and be moved by his music.

Macross 7, an interstellar colony ship venturing out into deep space encounters an unknown enemy, who in addition to having various space ships and fighter jets, is also allied with Dragon Ball Z style super beings, and yes they have the full suite of ki-based super powers. Super strength, super speed, invulnerability, energy projection, flight including flight through space at light speed etc. The bad guys' plan is to suck the ki out of all the citizens on our colony ship, yes just like imperfect Cell, so they can super charge their ki powers.

Luckily our colony ship also happens to have some ki users capable ...

Mixed Feelings
Macross 7 was one of the first sequels to the Macross franchise made around the same time that Macross Plus came about. This chapter of the franchise focuses on the human and Zentradi members aboard the spacecraft Macross 7 dealing with a new enemy alien threat called the Protodevlin and a guitarist named Basara Nekki cutting in during heated fights in a Valkyrie unit between the forces to try singing to the enemy for seemingly unknown reasons. Continuity wise, the series takes place 35 years after the events of the original Macross series, clearly evident with the appearances of Maximillian and Milia, the first human-Zentradi ...

This is terrible, just terrible.

One may wonder what were they thinking or is this some kind of joke? How could a classic series with great story, brilliant writing and fantastic design turn into such a major lack of taste show for 9 year olds? The quality is so poor it makes me wonder why they even called “Lovers Again” filler, when the supposed canon material is just as bad or worse.

It is almost surprising that Shoji Kawamori himself partook in the story and designs of these characters when they turned out to be so uninventive and stupid. Mechanical designs seem more appropriate for Digimon, while ...
