That reminds me, is it ever explained if Gloval and the other bridge crew survive at the end of Macross? I know they die in Robotech, but in Macross nothing is said one way or the other. It's also weird the Misa is just there on the street what seems like minutes after the ship crashes into the Macross.

I'm pretty sure that if a relatively major character like Global was supposed to be dead in that scene they would have shown it. Post show though of course all bets are off, as a lot of characters' fates are permanently  .

I don't know that anything is ever stated about Global and the bridge crew, but Hikaru, Misa and Minmei are all stated to have been lost when the Megaroad they were on disappeared on it's journey towards the center of the galaxy. Which is basically Kawamori's way of going "their stories are over and I don't want to write about them again". The fact that Hikaru's VA committed suicide several years later and Minmei's appears to want to distance herself from Macross because the fans were so crazy and it was the sole thing defining her for a long time in many eyes probably doesn't help. Still, the net effect to me at least is that it creates a massive mystery about what happened to them and I would dearly love to see a future Macross series set about the Megaroad 01 (I think that was the ship they were on) or another ship that finds it. I don't care if Hikaru, Misa and Minmei even appear beyond cameos, and at this stage, they'd be too old to do anything of worth anyways, since Macross basically always moves forward in it's timeline and we're 60 years on or something at this point with Delta, but I just want to know what they ran in to and to see some exploration of it.

I didn't know that about Hikaru's va, that sucks. I'm of two minds about it. On the one hand I'm totally fine with whatever triumphs and tragedies just being things I can wonder about and never have anything spelled out. On the other, I think I'd like if some mysterious hotblooded pilot showed up and when she's eventually revealed to be Hikaru and Misa's (great?) grandchild and holy poo poo you guys, you won't believe what they found out there...

He runs around shirtless so often that even a slightly odd looking top designed for manservice probably doesn't bother him and he's presumably just happy for what warmth it does lend him, not concerned about it's fashion sense.

Yep, ever since Old Gotho yanked Chirico and Fyana's frozen bodies back into the ship, he's been displayin 'em like icy mannequins. It's strange, perhaps. And say what you will, but I tell you what, but Chirico can pull off just about any style.

Pailsen Files is probably my #1 favorite piece of animated work right now, and the other ones that take place before the show are pretty good, but I haven't really been able to get into most of the post-show ones.

Pailsen Files is indeed good, though it does mess up the continuity in a couple of ways. Not the end of the world, but you need to take a few things at face value. The problem with the post-show OVA entries is they haven't found a better place to end the story after restarting it, so they're half nostalgic and half "WTF are you doing here?" in my opinion. The other spin-offs, like Finder and Case Irvine, aren't all that great but at least they represented an attempt to move away from just messing around with Chirico's story one more time.

The closer to Space Wolverine Jesus that Chirico is presented, the worse the production is

Here is an interview with Yasuhiro Imagawa about the making of G Gundam that was included on the G Gundam DVDs, the /m/ poster that was ripping them said they'd post the rest but never did so I decided to upload what I have. There's a lot of good information here about G Gundam as well as Imagawa himself. http://imgur.com/a/Sl7sj

Holy poo poo, I was disappointed when I found out that the idols weren't going to be variable fighter pilots. I retract that disappoint in favor of hype, because instead they are straight up magical girls in the Nanoha/Symphogear technology vain. And it is loving amazing to watch. I cannot wait for this series to start. The song at the end of the first episode is pretty fantastic too. I know it's going to be banging around in my head for a while. I already want a Platinum game where you play as one of the idols, because they'd fit right in to an action series as is. The drone tech in Delta is pretty insane. The Draken's design (the enemy plane) is pretty sweet too. I love the swiveling wing engines and the undermounted cannon. tsob fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Jan 1, 2016 |

We have the bishie squad/those knight guys, then we have another squad who pilot the VFs in the preview image with the idols led by Max Jenius's daughter/granddaughter that the MC will join.

Good: original Macross (if you don't mind 80's animation), Macross Plus, Macross Frontier (best watched in that order) Some people like it but it's at least 20 episodes too long: Macross 7 Bad: Macross 2, Macross Zero

On the other hand Macross Plus is the best in the series, doesn't require having watched any of the others and fairly short, so just watch that.
