If you are going to do a prequel, you need to make it so it feels like it belongs there and has a purpose.

Then you're only basing it on the fact that it doesn't have much to tie it to SDF Macross. It has plenty of prequel material on the protoculture and stuff that comes up in 7 and Frontier.

7 is just the same episode over and over again.

7 is...slow, I'm not going to deny that. I wasn't a huge fan of it either but at least its different.

Plus takes way too long to do anything and does not have any pay off in the end. I will say that the movie version is vastly superior to the OVA version.

I like Plus, but I won't deny a lot of that is down to spectacle. It's a much more grungy type of sci-fi than the rest of the Macross series.

Quote:

II feels like it should have been a 13 episode series condensed into 2 hours.

II isn't canon and deservedly so. That IS awful.

Quote:

I stopped watching Frontier after 5 episodes. It was the worst thing I have ever seen with the name Macross on it.

Maybe you should give it more of a chance then, because Frontier is essentially the best parts of its predecessors merged into one show.

Quote:

The other problem is all of these series just don't fit with the original show.

Yes they do. Sometimes loosely, but they definitely connect.

Quote:

The Macross was destroyed at the end, and yet, sometimes it is still sitting there as if nothing happened.

No it doesn't, it gets heavily damaged and crashes into a lake. Which is where it is in Macross Plus.

Exedol looks nothing like he did in the series in Macross 7.

The DYRL Zentradi designs retconned the series ones.
