Or, How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Giant Robot/Plane. (There are probably more apt ways to play with that quote but we haven't seen them yet...)
So yeah; thought I might see if I could stir up life on the forums by starting up a discussion of this show. Which could very well to devolve into "how many Minmays does it take to change a lightbulb?"*
*Answer: irrelevant; the lightbulb will never get changed, because for any number of Minmays faced with a difficult task at least one will open the airlock and kill everyone.
Anyway, rewatching the first few episodes... yeah I still think that eps 1-3 could probably have been like, half as long as they were but you know. Makes abridging easier, anyway. On the bright side, I glanced at what's coming up this week, and the next five episodes pretty much get things moving on character/relationship fronts. And I think we're going to end on an episode that has at least one completely badass moment, so there's that.
So yeah. I find it kind of hard to think about Macross without thinking of where it ends up eventually because it's a show that develops a message as it goes and then starts messing around with it; kinda curious if there's other opinions out there besides "DERP" and "WTF Minmay?"
Oh, also this:
Does anyone remember what the animated gif we wanted was of? I doubt I'll run off to make it but I might make a note for if I ever do the animated gif that I want from ~episode 22.
