>Yeah, it's the 35th anniversary, I believe? So that must be very exciting. Do you have any thoughts on how Macross has changed over the course of those years? How the franchise is different from when you were Lynn Minmay?

Yeah. It's not like I followed everything very thoroughly, but I think Macross was… I don't know if Kawamori-san would like it if I say this, but Macross was a little bit quieter for a while, then he started to make more huge productions. For me, the biggest change is that my character was designed by Haruhiko Mikimoto, and now somebody else draws the character. To me, that's a huge difference.

>Right, I would say there isn't really anything else that looks like Do You Remember Love in particular, and his designs… I don't know if they're difficult to animate, but he worked on Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress recently, which is a show that had a lot of resources available for animating his more detailed style. So do you think Minmay has an image that is distinct from other idols?

Minmay is always, to me, the cutest. You know, the most beautiful. She's like an eternal character.

>I assume you mean her image, but also her music, would you say? In what way do you find her songs eternal?

It's like timeless, I think. I sang her music a long, long time ago. Of course, I changed because a lot of time passed, but I don't think the music itself aged. I'm sure it brings people some childhood memories and stuff, but maybe even when some young people listen to it, I think they will feel the same: perkiness, giddiness, happiness. And of course Kentarō Haneda, the composer for Macross, his composition and orchestration were very wonderful. That's why I think the whole thing is very classic.

>I think it would be very strange to expect anyone to be the same person as they were that many years ago, so I'm glad that's not the case, right?

(laughs) Yes.

>But when you think of the music that you write now and how it's more personal, say there's somebody who's only ever heard the songs from Macross. How would you characterize your own music to them and why they should listen to it?

The Macross music, I was only like a teenager and they gave me the songs and I sang the whole thing in like maybe one or two hours, quickly. Of course I worked hard on it, but I didn't consider music as my job or anything. At that time, I was just a kid. Maybe that's the reason why it was so free. I wasn't aiming for anything grand, I didn't think about how this was going be a hit, I actually had no idea because I didn't jump into the industry to be an anime actress or singer. I was signed as a singer/songwriter. I had no expectation from the Macross stuff, so it was a huge surprise when it became a hit. So to me, the Macross music is just for Minmay and it didn't reflect my own feelings. I mean, of course the music has my feelings in it, but it's not about my actual life. Since 1983, I've made 24 albums, and of course life has its ups and downs, so I write my music based on my real life. It's much, much, much more personal, my own music. But now I have a very good connection with Minmay. I love Minmay, and she's always somewhere in my system, so in that sense I sing my Macross stuff with more happiness and depth because I always feel like Minmay's helping me. I didn't have that at the beginning.

>Because you didn't know about the legacy and connection it would have to so many people?

And I had some struggles that came from being typecast a little bit for Macross. For a long time, I suffered some, yeah. So now I worked things out inside myself and with Minmay, so I don't have that pain.

>No bitterness anymore.

Yeah. So I think the audience tomorrow will see and hear that I'm happy singing Macross stuff now.

>I'm glad, that's great. Obviously, you don't have all the time in the world to follow all the Macross stuff as it comes out, but of the stuff that you are familiar with since then, do you have a favorite Macross project that you were not part of?

The only newer Macross that I had some connection with was Macross Frontier, because I had some Macross anniversary shows in Japan and I had some connections with other singers. I can say I know a little bit about Macross Frontier and of course Macross 7, because Fukuyama-san, we worked on many occasions as singers for some events. So I feel a little bit closer to him because he would come to my green room and chat for a long time. He's a very friendly person, so I have a warm connection with him, so I have some connection to Macross 7 and Macross Frontier.

>The other big thing that is very different now is idol culture. The Anisong festival concert this year is three or four idol groups, and idols are their own huge industry in Japan right now. I don't think that was the case—I wasn't around necessarily at the time of the original Macross, but I don't think it was the same back then. So watching stuff like Love Live! and Wake Up, Girls! and stuff like that evolve as its own industry, how does that compare to your experience in the '80s?

I think Minmay kind of started that. We were like the pioneers of the anime character sings and becomes a star in the story. I feel like if there was no Minmay, maybe that wouldn't happen, or it would have happened much later. I haven't actually seen those idol groups, I've just heard things about them, but even Miku Hatsune, I think Minmay had so much of an effect on her. If there was no Minmay, then maybe she wouldn't have been born? I don't know.

CCA sucks even more

>>15760814
It pretty much ignores ZZ so no, you don't.

But you're in for a disappointment either way.

All ZZ does is end Haman Karn's story. Nothing related to the first Neo Zeon conflict is followed up on in CCA outside of Haman's rebellion mentioned in Char's speech.

CCA is absolute kino though and feels like a motion picture.

>>15760595
Most people didn't make it past the first two seasons. I was one of them during the initial airing. I did end up going back and watching it and it does improve.

It never really gets to a point where there are legitimately "great" episodes though. It's just serviceable Star Trek. It was really never a surprise that it got canned. They were just going through the motions and people were burnt out after three seven season shows.

I will be surprised if Discovery is more than one season the way they've been talking. It's practically set up for failure on CBS All Access in the US. Even if it's a surprise hit with fans everyone who cares enough will be pirating it and the normies will likely not even know it exists.

The Orville will either be really good or really stupid I think it could go either way. Fox will probably cancel it almost immediately regardless.

>>15760595
I think Enterprise was at least better than Voyager, though I don't dislike any of the series so far.

There's a lot of worrying signs in the trailer that don't make me optimistic.

>>15760647
The Discovery trailer, I mean.

It's not about whether or not it is possible, but if it is practical. The most-effective means to an end is usually the simplest and robots are generally complex.

>>15755589

Dinosaurs were possible, but even elephants, which are smaller than the bigger dinosaurs struggle to run and can't jump because of their size and weight. A giant robot is possible, but making it practical probably isn't because it's movements would be so limited by it's form.

>>15755589
For what purpose would you need an expensive giant robot?

I like that he's basically just a normal guy in over his head and trying to do the right thing and remain true to his own morals on what's good/right. I like that he deliberately kills once by necessity in the show, but doesn't get hung up over it and just moves on because he knows it couldn't be helped. I like that he questioned the actions of Dianna and Guin on a couple of occasions and was eventually able to recognize when he was being used. He's a pretty static character, but I don't mind and found the small bit of growth he did go through along with the character examination interesting.

I love the omnic designs. I hope more omnic characters are added.

The robots are fine, the piloted mechs not.

The ones marching around outside of volskaya industries are the best mechs in the game

Probably some Watchdog/Horror/Makai/Messiah Bodypart bullshit, probably.

Still waiting on the Flowers movie.

Amemiya said earlier on twitter he is waiting for game makers to knock on his door. He wants a Garo action game.

>So why did Haman simply refer to Judau as "the Argama's newtype"?
Judau and the ZZ were operating from the Argama.

Personally, I don't take anything in the show too seriously as I firmly believe in the fan theory that ZZ was just Judau's interpretation of what actually happened. Shit just makes a lot more sense that way.

>>15726929

You are not sane. Fan theories are wrong by definition.

Neat.

Unfortunately, the fansubs around like to work with shitty sentai shows and kiddy riders. I doubt anyone will realise how great this show really is.
