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 totally missed that the non-Harmony Gold licensed bits are getting wider releases.

    All the sequel material feels so tied up in nostalgia for the original show and movie that I wonder how legible the series would be without them.

    so more people can now be exposed to the unhinged greatness that is Macross 7

    Just imagining trying to explain that show: "yeah, she's an energy vampire alien and the corny rock music makes her feel, uhhh, feelings."

      Frontier is pretty standalone, I'd say that entry is fine for newcomers. (Altho you'd probably have to watch Macross Zero which wasn't legible even if you did watch the original anyway so shrug-outta-hecks )

      "So Space John Lennon gets into his jet fighter that can transform in to a robot, but get this, he's a pacifist so all the missiles are actually speaker pods, so he blasts the baddies with his missiles, which then blast rock music out of them that he's playing. While flying. The joystick is shaped like a guitar."
