Finished Macross today. Such a great show, but my god the animation is dated and I never realized how cheap they were at times. I mean, it seemed like they just didn't bother to animated every frame at times, making the movements look choppy and whatnot. The story is still so good though, I love how they developed the relationship between Misa and Hikaru throughout the entire thing instead of it just becoming an over night romance. My only complaint is how quickly Max and Milia's marriage was done though. I mean, he sits down to tell Hikaru they are getting married, Hikaru tells them to talk to Gloval, and then they are at their wedding. They should have spaced that out more as it just felt rushed and there could have been built up. I mean, why were Exedol and Britai watching it anyway? HOW were they watching it? Of course, you also had oddities like Kamjin being told the men were mutinying 12 minutes before they mutinied. Ooooooooooooooooookay.

Nevertheless, I love how the show was done as a whole, especially that the story did not just end when the Earth was blown up, we got what was essentially a 9 episode epilogue, which is a rarity.

With that said, I'll probably watch DYRL on Friday, but other than that, I don't admit anything else related to Macross exists because they are all extremely subpar at best. Others, such as Frontier and Zero, are down right terrible.
