So over the past couple of months since Delta finished, I have watched:
Macross Plus (OVA)
Macross Plus (movie)
SDF:Macross (all eps)
Macross: Do You Remember Love? (movie)
Macross Frontier (OVA)
Macross 7 Dyamite (seriously, wtf was that...?)
I have to admit that for some reason I really like and appreciate Plus way more than I ever previously did.
And I enjoyed my 3rd run of MacF more than any other anime. Ever.
So much so, that I couldnt help myself and bought another Valk. Which seems to happen each time I watch MacF.
First time was a VF-25F renewal
Second was a YF-29 Isamu (cause I watched the movies straight after the OVA)
Third was this badass sweetheart...
Came with a nice Ironman2 Japanese promo booklet in the box too!!
This is now my fav Valk from Frontier.
My three MacF Valks together
Boring-ish details for anyone interested:
First edition VF-27. Jungle B-spec, complete. $102 + $50 p/h. Mailed last Wed, arrived today. I expect there may be some battroid floppy limbs...

2) Legacy Bludgeon
3) Legacy Leo Prime/Nemesis Leo Prime.
....and just because I had my most precious and favourite Valk (the YF-29) down off the stand/shelf, here are my two Isamu birds.
Yamato 1/60 and Bandai 1/60 don't really seem to match up well...

You could buy the vf-19 advance by bandai and it should match
Very cool, but 'Macross: Do You Remember Love?' OVA > Anything, ever.
Which reminds me, Gwyn Campbell posted this a few days ago on the Macross Australia Club:
If you haven't picked it up yet, Do You Remember Love is 30% off at Amazon Japan. (Uncut version, bluray, region free, no subs)

Which brings us to where we are today...
Yeah, I wish.
Aw crap, I forgot to put this on the list. I rewatched as soon as I finished the SDF:M eps.Very cool, but 'Macross: Do You Remember Love?' OVA > Anything, ever.
No subs is no good for us gaijin folk..The no subs would be the issue for me. Otherwise I would buy it

I think Plus is still my favourite Macross series, DYRL and the original are more epic, but Plus has a bit more emotion and the sound track is awesome.
I'd still like to see a straight remake of the original Macross with updated visuals, even though 3D animated mecha are somehow more lifeless than 2D ones.
Sure that's not because the terrible English dub is etched into your brain?
