Happy SDF-1 Macross Launch Day!Bwahahaha. My friends and I are rewatching the first Macross series right now.
Here's a good primer for the entire series, excluding Macross Zero and Macross Frontier And here's my favorite song from my favorite version of Macross: Voices from Macross Plus There is an event in Japan in Akihabara today entitled: Macross: The Super Dimension Space Launching Ceremony ~It's Really 2009 Already...It's 2/22 (Nyan Nyan Nyan), Deculture!~
Oh, Japan.
For those who don't know, Macross is an old mecha/space drama anime series from the '80s that is also known for its pacifistic viewpoint to war and pop songs. You have to see it to believe it.
Macross is also the basis for the first 30 or so episodes of Robotech.
