I really did.This is going to get ugly.Episode 08: ‘High School Queen’ is the ugliest work of animation in the Macross franchise. While I can’t prove this with scietific and statistical certainty, I will present images to exemplefy and demonstrate....

Now that most of the series of the past Spring and Summer Season are about to end, it’s time to reflect on them again, and how they matched up to previous years. My general impression...

By this I mean the tactics, the personnel, and the ordnance; and how they all come together against what pretty much counts as an unkown foe....

The plot still is one big failure and mish-mash of clichés, but I don’t think anyone cares at this point about whether or not Dan is going to succeed in saving the world. For an episode with such a cheesy premise, I really enjoyed this...

By this I mean there is an actual live performance while events of consequence unfold...

This series has completely given up any form of logic at this stage. I mean, seriously. It surpasses itself in terms of stupidity in this episode. There were plenty of moments in this episode that just made me ask “why?!”.A list of bullet-points of all the wtf-moments...

The Macross franchise has the idols of mass destruction/galactic salvation (tier/class); and, it would be instructive I feel to see how they were wooed. I submit the examples who are at or close to the peak of their popularity: Sheryl Nome of Macross Frontier, and Lynn Minmay...

In this episode, we have robots. Awesome, real robots; robots that have real-world applications and are designed with practical sensibilities. They get to do awesome things too, and the show provides us not one, but two audience (ghostlightning)...

For some of you this will also be your first experience with the 1982-1983 series, for others a return to an old classic. Please no spoilers...

The result is that we have an episode full of character-development that may have been a bit...

These are:Expositional, qualified by economy (no text dumps explaining how the world works); andColor, often characterized by (but... Fri, 14 Aug 2009 00:00:22 GMT
