[@KazuyaMithra]

Cell no

[@andyyang50]

No, but it's the best anime during that time period it was released. I got to admit among the Macross franchise I got to say it's my favorite series. It's quite depressing that the aboard the ship vessel Minmay, Hikaru, Misa, and their child disappeared in the year 2016 never to be seen again. It was the first ship to set into space on a mission searching for life forms etc. I do hope they put this issue as a main topic in the new series that's in the process of being created which is called Macross Delta.

[@KazuyaMithra]

Andy Yang​ I don't know, I think Nausicaa has held up much better than this movie and it came out the same year. This movie seemed to have pretty inconsistent animation, with the good animation going to most of the battles, and the other parts getting the lazy animation.

[@doomed2063]

There should be no one who doesn't agree with you. Hand drawn animation has a charm and warmth that CG animation simply cannot replicate.

[@XX-sp3tt]

Max's duel with Miriya remains one of the most beautiful and brilliantly pieces of animation, two angels of death crossing gun sights, both facing an equal for the first time in their lives. Max's desire to live, was just slightly stronger than Miriya's. While both were expendable pawns in the grand scheme of things, Max had a life outside of the killing to survive for. The Zentradi had been so perfectly bred for war, they couldn't even comprehend an end to the madness.

[@GearHead36]

But eventually, somehow... the madness finished, and Humans and Zentradi managed to join hands together.

[@k1productions87]

Max and Miriya's knife duel in the TV series was something I was quite disappointed with, animation-wise. A lot of the TV series was rough in both animation and uneven design, and it took me out of the story from time to time. But THIS fight... I felt in my very soul that they were finally doing these two justice. I could watch these two do their gorgeous dogfight tango all day

[@motokoerz3507]

Can't stop hating that people saying that Macross Plus has the best dog fight scene. I beg to differ. I love Macross Plus , but it doesn't hold any candle to the fights scenes this Macross Movie has.

[@k1productions87]

@motokoerz3507 eh... just this one, which is also criminally short. Plus has several more of them, of a far more lengthy (and still consistently well animated) manner. So... yes, Plus has better dogfights, objectively. Doesn't mean this one is bad. Just because it's not at the top doesn't mean it's not still great.

[@logandarklighter]

TV anime is always riding the ragged edge of production schedules. There's a funny story involving the Gamilon enemy race from Space Battleship Yamato during it's initial production run that is startlingly similar to a problem that the Star Trek pilot episode (with Captain Pike) had during it's production. There was a sequence involving an Orion Slave Girl dancer (you know - the archetypical "green skinned babe"). Every time they got the film print of that sequence back from the developer and ran the film, she wound up standard white! So they filmed it again and again, adding darker and darker green body make-up and it STILL kept coming back with the girl looking Caucasian pink-skinned! Finally Roddenberry had enough of this and went to the film developer and asked around. Turned out the people developing the film kept thinking the green girl was a MISTAKE and kept color correcting it! He had to personally sign off a specific instruction that he WANTED GREEN!!! So - the Gamilons - were always meant to be blue skinned. But they were sending the animation instructions for these sequences to a company in Korea they were farming out the animation to. And for the first 10 episodes the Gamilons were white-skinned just like the Earth characters. Similarly - Nishizaki had to actually get the head of the animation company on the line personally and make it VERY CLEAR (I think there was some harsh language involved - but nobody is willing to be so impolite at this late date to say so) that the GAMILONS ARE BLUE. NO - I REALLY REALLY MEAN IT! So they turned blue. Infamously in episode 11. This isn't as noticeable if you're watching the show on a WEEKLY basis and there are no recording machines available. As a viewer, you might have the thought - "weren't they a different color before?" but there was no way to confirm that as fans in the early 70s! But as someone watching Star Blazers on a 5 day a week schedule in the early 80s - and recording it! - it was VERY NOTICABLE INDEED! Just goes to show the HELL an animation production can get into - particularly sci-fi shows. On the OTHER HAND - the remake of Yamato used this particular issue to it's advantage by making all of the more prominent early Gamilon characters (the ones the Yamato only encountered in the Solar System) be of a CLIENT race the Gamilons had previously conquered - thus adding some very intriguing layers of context to the Gamilon Empire! They got to have it BOTH ways - and made it work BETTER in the remake! 😎

[@ShogunX11]

[@rtype1974]

[@vnelson000]

No, the reason hand drawn isnt the best... You cant mass produce it...which wastes too much time. The artist can't move onto the next idea fast enough. Creativity becomes limited to the speed of the draw. With technology you can produce and save your style, you can provide tools for subordinates to use in production. You create a legacy/style that can be easily produced by subordinates. Long after the original artist is gone, their style can be traced onto new works. Technology allows an artists 'essence' to remain across multiple projects. Hand draw is a piece of art for history to observe. Technology allows the artist's essence to live in projects created by their peers, audiences will be excited by the artists style long into the future, in other projects. Kind of how rap music appropriated classic Motown hits as samples in new works. I'd love to see this Max and Milia scene 'motion captured' to a 3D animation work with different characters in a different story. I know I would recognize the original artists signature in that work. The same way you recognize the sampled pieces of music in a rap track. The sadest thing I can think of is this fantastic piece of animation work being lost to time. I'm moved by the energy and sentiment in this work. How Max and Milia both met their match in combat, and how the duel became a sort of deadly love play. It's a great work that needs to be preserved. Thank you for posting this. I dont like the Robotech masters version.😁👍

[@IntergalacticDustBunny]

I remember reading somewhere that the main reason the creator of Macross made this movie was to show what the animation in the series would've been like if he'd had the time and money, he was never happy with some of the segments of the original Macross show that were outsourced to some of the Korean animators (I'm not knocking Korean animation).

[@Everything_is_fine_totally]

Yea, ive watched documentaries about how the production was a nightmare. Thats why the second saga looks weird and off from tthe original saga. thats because that supposed to be a completely unrelated anime, but they made it as the second saga of the series. Similar to what mario 2 is and how it looks completely different from ther first mario. it was supposed to be a different game.

[@ArifxDD]

Another cool Macross lore to put inside my Macross lore collection (my mind)

[@MichaelCasanovaMusic]

Yeah, the animation quality in the original series varies wildly between story arcs. The main rule I go for is that if the event is more important, the better animation quality.

[@k1productions87]

Of all the things that thankfully got smooth solid animation and consistency of design, it is this battle right here. With how almost embarrassingly clunky the knife fight between Max and Miriya was animated in the TV series, this battle right here finally gives the iconic duo the justice they deserved. I dare say this battle is even more satisfying to look at than both the opening confrontation (which also involved Max showing off his skill) as well as the final "Do You Remember Love" battle (the one instance I actually appreciated the corresponding TV series segment more than the movie)

[@ItsAZaku-z2o]

God damn, what a legendary scene. I'll join the old guy squad and second that they just don't make them like this any more.

I disagree, check Miyazaki 's Porco Rosso or Yf-19 vs YF-21 from Macross OVA or Yf-21 vs Ghost X-9 from Macross Plus Movie edition or recent remake from Yamato 2199 or the 'realistic' dogfights in Area 88 Third Act.

[@ItsAZaku-z2o]

cid76 I haven't seen Area 88, but yea the other Macross stuff was great. It's still pretty old though... like 20 years? Porco Rosso isn't exactly sci-fi even though it was awesome :p Yamato 2199... didn't dig the CGI stuff. I think traditional animation looks way better.

[@CuriousEM]

This was definitely a legendary dog fight scene in the history of anime, but there are other really awesome ones as well. I think one of my favorites is Gould (YF-21) vs. Isamu (YF-19) in Macross Plus and the very realistic opening dogfight in Macross Zero! Wow.

[@BewareTheLiveWire]

Always wanted to know what Max said or did for them to be still enemies coming to terms as Milia is critically wounded and Max being by her side - on board an enemy vessel mind you - and then the next scene you see them, they're together gearing up in their mechs for the final battle - already in love. How did Max not get stepped on by the other Meltrandi? They probably spared him since he bested their ace pilot and had stayed to help her.

[@Volyu]

Plot holes aside, it was a nice nod/reversal where Milia joined up with Max and flew her red Valkyrie alongside his blue Valkyrie. Seeing a Zentraedi-sized Max flying a Queadluun was cool as hell. The Meltrandi obviously made a few concessions given the circumstances.

Yes, most replacements sucked and post the movie the show lost a lot of what made it popular, but the fact it took place in the future and most originals were not brought back to life made my favorite character (jazz) seem that more special since he never died throughout the series.

Such a dope reimagining of the iconic scene from the series. And I wouldn't be surprised if The Batman didn't directly borrow from that hallway scene lit only by muzzle flashes. Can't say I enjoyed the music much in either version, though.

What's brilliant about the Macross story is that they're actually fighting over the meta-right to have or save gender politics or roles for their culture(s) , human or Zentraadi/Meltrandi. Leave it to the Japanese to write a story like that-the meaning of 'protoculture' was changed for the Western rebroadcast.

[@jeangomez3093]

in reality the 'protoculture' was change because they had to combine 3 different animes into one, because the original macross just have 36 episodes and for it to appear on tv it had to have more than that, thats why they change it.

[@joshuahenry7965]

@@jeangomez3093 I'm aware of that, but I still think it's a loss that kids in the 80's who saw the show were only given hints as to the true meaning of the story.

[@Onewingerdraven]

I'm not convinced it's about gender. In my opinion it's more about how it's never too late for two civilizations to live in peace through non verbal communication, aka culture and art

[@joshuahenry7965]

@@Onewingerdraven Well, the Zentraedi and Meltrandi were segregated according to gender and were disturbed by sexual biology. The protoculture involved the use of culture that somehow healed that breach (but was denied by the more warlike Zentraedi) . Two examples would be the romance between Max and Millia and the joining of some of the Zentraedi to the humans. It the film Do You Remember Love?, it's made even more obvious through the title (referencing an ancestral DNA-based memory of male/ female relations, which is taken advantage of by the use of a singer - Lin Minmei) . I could go on, but it's clearly a unifying theme throughout the original series and film (the dissection of gender politics in the love triangle and Roy Focker's machismo) .
