YES! Bloody GORGEOUS! So few still remember and enjoy Macross DYRL. Thank you, dear Janus, for doing so!

Hrmm, wonder if you would do anything with MZ23 Part 2.

Oh man, I JUST bought that!! I SO wish I had a bike like that! XD

I'm still trying to figure out, if the purpose of Project Eden was the preservation of the human race, why would ADAM have been equiped with a auto-destruct program??

Tho, I think Part 3 was my fave. ^_^

Make triply sure that you are watching it subtitled, not in the old Australian-made dub. It makes all the difference. Also, make it a point to watch part 1, as it explains the roots of all of this.

Part three was, for me, a letdown. While visually spectacular, I felt very much betrayed by the ending, more specifically, betrayed by the character of Shogo, considering his roots. To become so authoritarian, when he started out a punk and a rebel. It's just so opposite. Losing Eve in the end, though, that I understood: stepping aside to make room for the new, and to prevent the cycle from continuing. Painful, but needed.

Oh yeah, I couldn't believe Shogo would become something like that either!
Although, I think there was a purpose to it, because isn't that what humans do to any "founding father?" Removing all human faults and weakness, so that what is remembered is more memorial than man. Even Eiji was all like- "lend me Shogo's strength!" XD I seem to recall, Shogo got his butt kicked every time he was in a 1 on 1 battle like that! Heh.

It also leads me to ask, can humanity survive without a system like that? If a unified group of people is a society, and society is a system- is it even avoidable? Would Shogo have sacrificed his own free will, to insure everyone else's survival? Is that what a Leader should do?

Sry, I really tend to overthink this stuff, you know?

No, not overthought at all. In fact, that is, in the end, what the MZ23 series is supposed to MAKE you do: think abo0ut what makes us work the way we do, and whether we should follow it blindly, challenge it, strike out on our own for something new and untried, or strike a balance between those and maybe other options I haven't listed or considered.

That and them mechs were cool.

Oh, very. The Garland and Hargun series of mechabikes were VERY nice, including the military hover-Garland type. My personal favorite was the Wilde-Sau, the evil big non-transformable design B.D. used near the end of Part 2. Gods was that thing over-armed and just damn chunky GORGEOUS!

haha, the self consciousness, more effective then high explosives ^^

*chuckles and laughs* hmmm I love the Macross series and everything about it thank you for this and man i have to say thi sis one of the funniest jokes on Macross i've ever seen before.

What is Macross about? Whats the storyline?

Alien ship crashes on earth. Ten years later giant aliens come looking for first ship. Humans have rebuilt the first ship as their own and used its tech to make flying transforming mecha. War ensues, music saves everyone, and they interbreed. The end.

Dang, I found it on youtube, but someone must've JUST flagged the english version! Really tough find too, thx to Harmony Gold blocking anything that relates to the Robotech francise.

I so ROFLed!

I'm the same with Gen1 Jetfire

Macross is the second favorite Animated Series in Japan Battleship Yamato for a reason. It changed pretty much most of the animation community.

It also happens to be my favorite series.

I loved, and agreed with the joke.

hahaha, very funny ^___^

Mechs! YAY!

Awesome, I remember that movie it was bad-@$$. I can't believe that anime was made in 84! Such a masterpiece for that year, it was in my point of view better than the Gundam movie Char's Counterattack. Funny comic and cool memberility.
