You can (and should) watch it through, uhhhhhh, other methods, but this is the world we could have without Harmony Gold. Cute art for the TV shows, though!

    i'm of the opinion that macross is patient zero for most of the things plaguing modern anime, but it still fucking sucks that harmony gold can't come to some kind of arrangement. they already did! there was a dub and everything! they're losing money by not trying to make some distribution deal where they get a cu!

      I can't speak with any authority, but I feel like Macross was one of the first big anime made specifically by anime fans.

      The previous generations of anime creators seemed to have a wider breadth of dork-ass interests. That, and a lot of the greats from those previous generations were involved in the Japanese university protests of the late 60s - people familiar with the Immortal Science are generally better at writing compelling narratives tequila-sunset

        yeah this is what i was talking about lmao. to me macross comes from the exact same impulse as every generic isekai on narou, just made with more craft

          After the revolution, generic isekai creators will be sent to the "watch/read something that isn't anime" gulag. It's just a nice library with a dorm.
