The Bus's Transit of Anime Realities

Macross 7 is the first actual fansub anime I've ever bought, so bare with me if my review becomes a tad confusing. This video is the first film which runs a little over a half hour length, so I'm kind of pissed that I paid $20 for this, but this is indeed Macross. Maybe even a little to much Macross. I've always considered the music the reason for the Macross series, but I didn't expect a rock opera, but besides that this title is pretty cool. The tone of this series isn't as deep and serious as Macross Plus, so it's more like traditional Macross (SDF and 2) which some may prefer. The songs may get annoying, but if your a Macross fan you should enjoy this and we can only hope that some major distributor picks this title up (It may be more expensive, but some people are to lazy to search for subs and it'd be the only way to expose some people to this series).

Review for Macross 7

Review | Links | Webring

Basara has crash landed after defolding on a snow covered planet. Not many people on the planet seem to care for musicians, but a little kid, Pedro, seems to be familiar with Basara's band and can hardly control his bodily functions when he's around him. Basara decides to take the little guy on a flight where he soon gets into a sing off with a Zentradi, Emiria. After the Battle the two seem to hit it off while in the mean time the Song Patrol is searching for Basara. Fortunately their battle gives the patrol a vague location of to start their searh, but it also attracts the evil Protodevlins, an enemy that can only be defeated by song.

Sorry if my review isn't to in depth, but there isn't really a lot to this film. The story is good, but when I buy a movie, I do feel I deserve a little more than 30 minutes, but as an episode in a TV series its excellent. One does get a chance to know the characters the film is concentrating on, Emiria and Basara are both pretty cool, but you won't learn much about the other characters in the series. Also the over use of pop music and of Pedro can get under your skin. No matter what you think of how the songs are used, the music is great and so is the animation which is as good as PLUS art wise, but maybe a little work can be done on the color. Of course this is supposed to be a lighter series than PLUS, so maybe the animators were just making sure.
