I wouldn't recommend Macross over Gundam to hexbear, but this is probably one of my favourite anime movies, problematic aspects and all.
Yeah, Gundam is just a better show hands down. SDF Macross is still really special, though, especially if you've watched some of the stuff that inspired it. You really get a feel for how these people who made it have a genuine love for animation, science fiction, and music.
Anyone who doesn't watch this movie should at least see the climax scene, it's fantastic.
DYRL is basically what got me into anime proper.
