The Bus's Transit of Anime Realities
Have you ever played the 8-bit Mega Man games, seen any sports film sequal, or to a lesser extent (since the film that I will mention and the series it belongs to is something that I enjoy as much as anime, this is a major lesser extent) The Return of the Jedi. You bring up the same plot premise and the same triumph and usually people will see it no matter how good it is. Rarely there is improvement (Jedi isn't as good as Empire Strikes Back and Mega Man 3-6 aren't as good 2), but this is a major improvement on the Macross Saga (no I haven't seen SDF Macross should I). Obviously after a few years animation naturally improves (compare this to Macross Plus that was created after this) but there is a lot more to this that makes this greater than what I watch everyday on Cartoon Network at 3:30 (I know this comment is out of date because they still choose to keep Johnny Quest of the Toonami line up. Are you as displeased as I am?) basicly characters, music, and plot. Emmerich and Devlin could learn from this and maybe on the music category too because there is no way I'd put a Bob Dylan impersonater singing David Bowie on a soundtrack. If you liked Macross in any form which include Robotech you've got to see this. Possible exception to Macross Plus fans who may like the more dramatic less action based show or just have a thing for Lucy or Sharon. Sorry neither Ishtar or Silvie is as good looking as those two. *Warning* The way Macross 2 is packaged in the so called movie form is actually all 6 episodes of the series just without end or opening credits behind each episode. Hell, they even kept the commercial bumper, maybe just so you know where you can pause to relief yourself. |
