Macross Plus Anime Aesthetic // Vestron Vulture - Hair on Fire

[@notgray88]

Sci-fi combat animation peaked with Macross Plus. I don't think we will ever see another movie like it.

[@paulomocha8042]

Almost true. Shinichiro Watanabe played an important role in the scene breakdown and the spacial air combat design. But don't forget he has done another great jobs in Cowboy Bebop and Mobile Suit Gundam: Hathaway. He is always being serious in the air combat scene and the style becomes his signature which is distinguishable from other directors.

[@GoodwillWright]

Except for Sunrise and Gundam.

[@MegaRayland]

Not really. Macross Plus was terrific but there have been greater sci-fi combat animations since. For example Gundam 00, specially the second season, has incredible combat animations. And if you want airplane-based animations Yukikaze has some amazing air combat sequences. And like that others.

I was always more of a Gundam fan but I'd be lying if I said Macross Plus didn't kick ass. Use to watch it all tge time when it aired late night on SciFi.

[@mattmaddogwheaton4724]

I'd say Macross is part of my big three next to Gundam and VOTOMS. And yes, Macross Plus is most certainly kick ass.

[@jonathancox1794]

Anime after midnight on scifi was my introduction to Macross plus

[@jamesharren3882]

its not like choosing sides in a war. you can like both.

[@Vesperitis]

Fun fact: The director of Macross Pluss also directed an obscure little anime you may have heard of: Cowboy Bebop.

[@ry7hym]

what the heck they nailed everything. from animation frames to detailing and sound design

[@markiahendrix60]

A year later, and still the best Macross Aesthetic out there. Love it from beginning to end.

[@TheProdigalCat]

Vestron Vulture absolutely rocks. They're the only artist I can just press shuffle on and only skip one or two songs in an hour.

やっぱセルが時代のアニメーションは素晴らしいね。最近のアニメみてると俺はこんなもんが好きだったのか？と疑問になるようものしかないけど、こういうの見ると自分がなぜアニメに惚れ込んだのかを思い出させてくれる

[@markuswalker6225]

Hands down a masterpiece and by far the best Macross in the series

[@crimsonalucard]

macross generally is just blah to me. Too cliche. Plus was different though the ending reveal about guld was too rando.

[@gabequezada2066]

When anime art was simply amazing..

[@Noiru82]

To this day, Marcos’s Plus is still peak anime for me. Thanks OP, now I gotta rewatch this again

[@efmaniac43]

圧倒的臨場感と没入感、派手なエフェクトでも目を騙すものじゃなく重量を感じさせるほどの緻密な描写です。いつ見ても素晴らしい！

[@jirohkaiohmata5801]

これもすでに30年ほど前の作品。芸術というのは新技術が成熟する前のうち早くに完成されてしまうものって事なんだよな。常に新技術は人の想像力の後に着いてくる。

[@manwiththemachinegun]

That scene in CGI where the ENTIRE Earth Defense Grid is lighting up to intercept Isamu gives me chills every time.

[@orange3023]

The dogfights in this series was so amazing.

[@cloudy1723]

Thanks for pinpointing exactly why I love 80’s/90’s sci-fi anime. Don’t stop posting please

[@martinjrgensen8234]

Macross Plus is peak Macross. Just gorgeous animations

[@fatalradius]

It’s the little details that make great ideas look phenomenal. Thanks for making this video ❤

[@Cristian448]

Por eso me encanta la animación de la vieja escuela, realmente el cgi en el anime lo está destrozando, gracias por compartir esta obra de arte.

[@alexisbagacina6401]

Love the analog and digital astethic and mix this very mechcanical feel of the previous mech and scifi anime

[@Swatmat]

playing start citizen with HOSAS, pedals and a throttle and head tracking is this vibe

[@Abizaga]

Hell playing mechwarrior 5 with a hotas, vtol, or vr mech games like ovrlrd hits this vibe too.

This animation is a masterpiece👍🏻👍🏻✨

[@brian-us6vw]

This was the first mech anime I really loved. I dare say better than most mech animations even by todays standards

[@Abizaga]

God damn I love the aesthetic of seeing the inner workings of the cockpit and stuff like that. It's just so cool haha.

[@MichaelSmith-lq8to]

Thank you bro- I play this video on my NZXT cooler- makes it look even better

[@themollymachine]

This is what you call a masterpiece

[@Mate397]

Love me some 80's and 90's aesthetically pleasing mechanical details in anime.

[@chrismargetson3024]

One of my top anime of all time and a big reason why my preferred genre is mecha

[@ari-athbadminton0301]

Peak 90's hand draw cell shading era along with Patlabor and GITS movie1. The Macross franchise went downhill after PLUS who is still my most influencial OVAs to this day from a visual standpoint.

[@villager01x12]

As a Macross fan and Jet guy. I agree, this franchise became a mess after thanks to egomaniac Kawamori.

[@alexandrecharron-trudel1642]

There's something about 90s mecha anime of this type. I'm thinking specifically of Macross but also Gundam the 8th MS team. The mechanical design overall, but really just giving a physical sense of how the machinery and the world works in attention to small details like munitions and the actual piloting of the craft. We've seen this more recently with stuff like Gundam UC0096 and Gundam Hathaway.

[@1mikesofocused42]

this is my life i love this music with this.

[@Techlore1]

Sadly, you just don't get this quality and passion in animation anymore.

[@chonwai]

The first battle in gundam unicorn is of a similar quality as well!

[@xensan76]

The music and sounds does wonders to my brainwaves.

[@TheRoyalSkies]

YO awesome job! Can anyone tell me the name of this kind of music genre, and what other artists/songs they recommend to find stuff like it??

[@myrtlekenazjanairo9411]

I was lucky enough to be alive when this kind of animations was premiered. Man animation today is good but not as epic as the ones in the past. Will we ever see animations like this again? answer to that is - if they blow out billions of cash then maybe. Animations today are soooooooooooooooooo expensive that even a music video costs millions in this level of quality.

[@theothertonydutch]

It was so good because stuff like this was so rare and hard to find. One of the first DVD's I bought was Ghost in the Shell, soon followed by Akira. This was in the late 90's or early 2000's when I had some sort of disposable income. I watched the shit out of those movies. Every frame, every shot, etc. I can dream them.

My dude, that's my favorite gundam series, because it's the ONLY series THAT USES THE RADIO. "Gato, can you hear me? Gato, I know you can hear me, tune to 5.82" Gato REACHES OVER, AND TUNES THE RADIO, "I'm listening, punk" Every other series has the pilots in a dialogue battle with the enemy pilot of the jump, like there aren't encrypted or secured com lines in a piece of military hardware that can drop a colony on the earth lol and when Kou gets the GPO1fb, and takes her out for that first test run.... MAAAAAAANNNN..... ❤❤❤❤😂😂😂

[@han__nya]

Apparently The Vision of Escaflowne was supposed to be a spinoff of Macross. I can definitely see some similarities with the way the Guymelefs are operated in the show, especially Escaflowne.

[@Phyllion-]

Not exactly, it was from a non-Macross related concept that eventually became the basis for Macross Plus, and then going back to that original concept, Escaflowne was made. But yeah, that is indeed where the similarities in mechanical design comes from.

An all-time favourite. Never seen earlier Macross, always a bit disappointed by later Macross. This animation, story, music, feel, is perfect.

[@Dopefish-qo3os]

Stupid question, when cutting this video how did you get the background sound effects so crisp. What do you usually use for editing.

[@hanahakiblank]

Not a stupid question at all! Usually, I replace the sounds if they contain music or voice. However, I've recently started using AI to extract the sounds. Since I'm an IT engineer, I created a program for this purpose. For editing -> Sony Vegas Pro

[@Dopefish-qo3os]

@hanahakiblank I've done a couple of edits like this posting on Facebook, but this blows my shit out of the water. Yeah, those sound bytes really what give off that nostalgia. Good job 👏

[@carlvincent12]

This would have been the rival to Gundam…..if they didn’t focus so much on the damn idols

[@mattmaddogwheaton4724]

I don't mind the idols too too much, but yeah, Macross should focus more on the epic sci-fi than idol fanboy pandering. Macross II definitely had the right idea if you ask me.
