This is thread for Macross II, the last good and last true Macross.

>>15632631
Delta was the only good one though

>>15632631
I don't even really remember what happened in II. Something about some journalist finding some alien girl named Ishtar or whatever. That's all I can recall. It wasn't bad, but it didn't leave much of an impression on me.

>>15632631
but Macross Plus was released in '94

I like the Icarus more than the Valkyrie II.
Even though they only showed up like twice in background and only to job.

But Plus and the Frontier movies came after it. I put II on the same level as Zero. I found it more enjoyable than 7, Delta, and the TV version of F.

Also Silvie is one of the best girls in the franchise.

>>15632631
You spelled Delta wrong, but it was still better than Plus.

weak bait, guys.

you're going to have work a little smarter to get those (You)s.

>>15632631
Agreed.
Fuck the haters, Macross II is far beter than any of the "song energy" bullshit that came after it.

Not bait, go back to ANN, felcher gundam fan.

It wasn't bad, I liked the idea using music's effect on Zentradi as a weapon but in the end it felt too similar to DYRL

Kawamori was butthurt other people were doing a good Macross sequel. So he wanted in and we got Macross plus. An ova that's shittier than Macross II by a long shot. The only redeeming grace were the combat scenes. Everything else was puke inducing.

Culture Park was so much better than that bullshit "Culture" they have these days fuck that Test Valk bullshit that's not even charming retro that's just boring.

>>15632670
lol the characters in that OVA have cheesier interactions and lines than a soap opera

>>15633024
Better to be cheesy than to be entirely forgettable.

>>15632956
I love how in the 80s/90s once they realized that they can animate boob physics everyone went crazy with that stuff.

>>15632956
hayai

>Failing to recognize the music, artwork, and accessibility of the story for a new generation of Macross fans

Why do you hate Macross and want it to die, anon?

Plus's music was garbage, no idea what people see in it. Its artwork wasn't anything special either, though I do think the YF-19 and YF-21 are great designs.

It being accessible is a bad thing because it creates the wrong type of Macross fan: the type who thinks that animation is the only thing that matters

>>15633401
>Plus's music was garbage, no idea what people see in it
you are either deaf, retard or both at the same time. II's music is shit, the story is meh, the designs were cool though. Plus if superior in every way. After that everything went downhill.

Plus and zero are good and not idoru shit.

Scale ?

Kit or toy?

>>15633724
I'm not a Macross II fan, I just don't like Plus and it's hipster trance bullshit soundtrack. I mean, it's better than Frontier's soundtrack, but it's hard not to be better than sugar coated nails on a chalkboard.

Itagaki must have watched a lot of anime to want to include it in DOA.

>>15632632

Plus has neat music but the vocals are painful especially the English ones.

not canon

Is Delta canon?

>>15632631
Did this ever get translated in English? I remember only find French subs for this from nyaa.

>>15639063
It was translated decades ago by Manga Entertainment, the Manga was also translated by Viz, I believe?

Will Macross II ever get into SRW?

II and Zero are my favorite Macross shows.
