| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- I didnt even recognise Max at first. As soon as Basara started firing speaker pods and singing I burst out laughing. This show is SO STUPID. I'm really not liking the music, I dont know if I can handle almost 50 episodes of it... |
"I'm starting to think mal is run by Xinil generating electricity on a bicycle." - idklol |
| Max? As in Max Jenius? The same guy from the first Macross that should be around 50? Damn, he has definitely aged well... perhaps a bit too well... |
| I'm speechless, but not but not in a good way :/ Seriously, what the heck!? Max looks like 25-30 not 50 or so! And the whole fight was sooooo lame. I hope it'll catch up later! |
 |
| Max looks really young lol. Yea when he started singing I just laughed. |
 |
| Nah this music and singing dude wasn't exactly improvement for Macross. I hope it'll make more sense later on. Sent with Mal Updater |
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| Man, my ears bleed whenever that moron Basara opens his mouth xD. Max and Milla were sure a pleasant surprise. I'm baffled though, why does a beautiful Slavic name like Milena have to be translated into Mylene in English? Is it not pronounceable the way they say Milena in the original Japanese track? |
| (|__/) Never give up, aim for the top! (='.'=) Top wo nerae! o(")(") Anime music: http://myanimelist.net/blog.php?eid=777199 |
| Captain Max, and what I surmise is the head of Exedol, LOL Boltz said: Oh man, I missed Milia, where was she? Will have to pay more attention next episode. Man, Max and Milla were sure a pleasant surprise. I'm baffled though, why does a beautiful Slavic name like Milena have to be translated into Mylene in English? Is it not pronounceable the way they say Milena in the original Japanese track? Also in Japanese it's Milênu, translating it Milena would be weird. Didn't like the songs much, but really enjoyed the 90s feel, it really reminded me of Outlaw Star, felt great. Had I known I would have watched this sooner. |

| Basara a boy can singer and pilot a fly without hands!!! This first episode dont like much, a dull episode!!! The plot not interesting, characters seems a motorbikes revolted the band, and the army seems a queen of the freeze!!! 5/10 for this starter... |
| Wait I just finished the first Macross TV series what happened to Maria? She isn't in the cast list either I mean if 35 year have passed she would be in her late 20s or early 30s did she die? Max has been taking good care of himself if he looks like that at 50 damn boi. I loved the music and it seems the enemy is using mind attacks instead of outright killing them physically. |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |

I loved the music and it seems the enemy is using mind attacks instead of outright killing them physically. Oh right, their first daughter. Good question. Well, like you said, 35 years have passed, so she is all grown up now and living her own life. Maybe she already has her own family and simply stayed back on Earth. |
| Re-watching: It's been like three years since I've seen this show, but I still remember the songs. This series is just so much fun. |
| This anime is ridiculous. It almost feels like a troll episode. Can't say I'm a fan of the music in this one. |
| Rock and roll. I adore the ridiculousness of it all. It's like the G Gundam of Macross. |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Meltrandi drummer is bae I like this so far I wish all wars could be ended by playing your music at the enemy until the just went home, though in this case they're actually just ignoring Basara lol Basara is so insane, but I like him a lot better than some other autistic mecha pilots I prefer pacifist mecha pilots lol Space vampire lady commander- nice |
| The ED shots were closer to Mikimoto style (maybe even original illustrations) Not sure how to feel about the episode yet. Some reused footage already (maybe it'll go away at some point), and I'm not the biggest fan of music here so far (I like rock in general and some Japanese bands too, this is not as good as it could've been so far though) Aside from that, Max is as cool as ever, Exsedol got reduced to a talking head, the drummer is of course Zentradi (just like in Macross Flashback), and DYRL is finally established as an in-universe movie. Also: Gamlin played by *the* seiyuu of Dio P.S. Didn't expect so much CGI in the OP. The city design is nice. |

| Holy crap this is 80s rock like nobody's business. It makes me think of Aerosmith or REO Speedwagon. The aesthetics remind me of Outlaw Star, which makes sense given the timeframe Macross 7 was released. Also, there's the Lynn Minmay reference, although I don't really get it. Lynn tried to stop the war using music, while Basara is using is music to actually fight. |
| I thought this episode was a blast to watch. It has a really enjoyable cast of characters, and I really liked the shift in music style as well. Basara's variable fighter is cool too; the "face" is really interesting and makes it more reminiscent of something out of a super robot show, which I think further plays into this series' more fun and upbeat atmosphere. |
