Macross 7 Dynamite 04(DVD) - (e90e6c17) Central Anime.mkv_snapshot_16.30_[2023.02.09_01.42.23]
Angel Voice is not just the best Macross song, not just the best /m/ song it is the best anime song. This is not up for debate.

That being established though, let's have a /m/usic thread.

This is probably the best song I've ever heard from /m/ stuff but Macross 7's OST is up there.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gw86-GxE8-M

My favourite M7 song would probably be Power to the Dream. Every entry in the Macross series has good music, even the entries I don't like. People complain about Delta but there isn't enough praise for the OST, there's a lot of great stuff in there. Giraffe Blues always gets me teary eyed, Silent Hacker and Onya Noko Girl are also really fucking good.

>>23319670
That wasn't my experience with the particularly spammed songs in M7, I still really like Planet Dance as an example, but I know the feeling. I can never hear the Evangelion OP again because of how much it's been spammed in crap memes. A lot of my friends said the same thing about the Gurren Lagann OP but I haven't heard that nearly as much.

I'd rather watch another 40 episodes of Basara screaming at enemies to listen to him while singing some of the best songs in the medium than sit through a single episode of Delta, listening to people monologue about the wind and watching one-dimensional characters perform sterile, formulaic, shallow idol songs.

Most /m/ songs are by career anison singers, mainstrream performers just starting out, or ones in their later years winding down so it was a surprise to see one by an established singer in their prime.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AZM81EY3OcE

Horie Mitsuko recorded a cover the same year and while I've always thought she was a great singer her version is almost pathetically inferior to Iwasaki Hiromi's
https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/nm12688122

I've often wondered why Horie Mitsuko never broke the anison barrier and I guess that's why. But to be fair Iwasaki Hiromi is considered to be one of Japan's greatest singers by many fans and musicians. Yet the direct comparison between Iwasaki and Horie, who were born less than a year apart, is extremely brutal nonetheless.

he isn't naive at all, his goal is getting as many people to listen to his song as possible. He literally doesn't give a fuck about anything else. He's a singer, not a soldier. All of the fighting only gets in the way of his ability to sing to an attentive audience

I know I'm only at the start but I thought he wanted to mimic Minmay, to a fault. Like he's some idealist who heard she stopped a war with her music and he wanted to do the same thing. Maybe I'm just putting ideals into a character who is just simply a guy wanting to share his music with the universe though.

I still think he's naive when it comes to live combat though. When he engages enemies who attacked his concert, and instead of defending them he just wants to have them listen to his music? When he actively gets in the way of combat and probably adding to the count of pilots getting spirita sucked simply by getting in the way. he feels pacifistic to a fault, and I'm just hoping he develops more successful ways of using his songs on the battlefield, rather than only adding to chaos and getting laughed at.

If you've been paying attention, the songs are actually what are causing the Protodevlin to retreat
The show will explain why this is in concrete terms in just a few episodes from where you're at as the characters start to figure it out

Rogue Zentradi were always boring as fuck. If all you want out of Macross is just "plane shoots missiles at bad guys" then find one of the imitators from the 80s or play a video game.

this
we need the opposite. I was really upset with Macross as a franchise when it dialed back the more overtly supernatural aspects after 7. If music is going to play a big part in the franchise, they need to make it matter more and they need to make it flashy it shouldn't just have idols as an excuse to push sales

Did anyone else drop this show after 3 episodes? I enjoyed Robotech as a kid, found out about macross and enjoyed that. Was lukewarm to macross 2, enjoyed DYRL, loved Plus, enjoyed Zero, was alright with Frontier. But 7 and Delta just didn't hold me.

You walked into a 7 thread. You already knew how this question would go over. I myself would love a less flashy more gritty macross where the main character is an actual military recruit that gets gud through practice, combat experience, and the luck needed to just survive. I'd love for the idol to a play the role of moral support and uplifting the spirits of the fighters and solders instead of being the straight up weapon. I don't want rogue Zentradi, I want the one of the protags to be not-micronized traditionalist that is still aligned with the good guys so we can see life from their aspect as they help defend the fleet from the badguys. Make the fleet cut-off from the NuUN or even rogue/anti-NuUN separatist that just wants to live peacefully out from under their thumb. IDGAF about the enemy so insert whatever will sell the toys/models/etc here. I want the music to be good and to be used to inspire the people as they fight, to pull them out of the funk of actually emotional hardship as they face loss and terrible odds.... Well, see you next moeshit.

Sadly, that ship has long sailed, especially after Delta, where they took the concept of music as a weapon to such a ridiculous degree that it bordered on parody. Realistically, the only thing I ask for in the next series is that they scale back the scope of the conflict and the size of the cast; Delta had way too many characters, most of whom were pointless. Even within the idol group, the pink-haired girlโ€™s entire character was basically, "my boobs are big and I'm a lesbian, maybe." Iโ€™m open to any style of music, and Iโ€™m also fine with them dropping the love triangle angle altogether. If theyโ€™re going to half-ass it again like they did in Delta, Iโ€™d rather they just focus on developing a single relationship. Also, I hope they drop the whole 'Lady M' thing, because the thought of them dragging the original cast into what Macross has become kind of pisses me off

What bothers me about the whole LADY M situation is that I fear we're moving to a point were series are becoming less standalone and more trying to force a big over arching mystery that probably won't be resolved while overdoing it on references and nostalgia baiting. A cheeky cameo or easter egg is one thing but this is starting to get in the way of the plot.

They understood it fine because part of Mirage's character arc is wondering how she'll live up to her family name and here's a demonstration of why that would be an issue.

I kinda hate how right you all are about loving Basara after that specific point. I couldn't stop singing along with the songs. I was moved when Gigil and Gamlin joined in at those specific moments. His music really does cross the galaxy.

To be honest, considering we're only 7 years away from Macross' 50th Anniversary, I'd actually love if they closed that arch in 2032. And finally ditch the original cast altogether, otherwise Max will turn 90 and he'll still be piloting. I'd rather have him reunite with Hikaru and Misa, close the Lady M arch and that's it for them.
How cool it would be to see old farts Hikaru and Max piloting next to each other once again for the last time.

When I was a kid I thought he was cool. But M7 was unavailable, I had seen only a few episodes without subtitles; but I still bought all his John Lennon demeanor. I watched Dynamite a few years later, and I liked him enough.
Then a few years ago I watched 7. Not only I can't stand that fucking imbecile anymore, I even dislike most of 7's soundtrack.

There are so many cool layers in M7. Gamlin was like us, he hated Basara for his shenanigans, his crazy pacifism. Gamlin served with passion, he was a stringent military person. Along the way he realized that Basara was serving his cause with the same passion and Basara earned his respect. That they became friends was truly magical.

They got Arihiro Hase to come back and play Bobby in Macross 7, who was the creep set to play Hikaru opposite to Mylene playing Minmay and recited some of his old lines. Aside from that, I've never seen anything about the guy himself being bad. He committed suicide in the mid-90s and Hikaru was recast for when he appears in crossover games.

I believe Hikaru has been played by Kenji Nojima since the PS1 SRW days. The character isn't off limits, it's just Kawamori has been reluctant to revisit the original trio outside of brief mentions.

Macross blows everyone away when it comes to the OST. Delta tried to be different because Gundam has saturated the West with the typical 'who has the biggest gun' dick measuring contest (and because of legal bullshit) Macross has been suppressed. Love them or hate them, without Macross, there would be no idols. Watching Delta now feels like it was ahead of it's time --for Western Vtubers. If there ever was a Mecha Show for gamer girlz-vtubers; It's fucking Delta. Now up

Fuck yeah so are 7 and Frontier. Delta has aged better then Frontier Imo.

If anything Plus was ahead of its time with all the AI plot. We are now living in an era where computers can make music by their own.

Made the plot a lot more eerie. Even the part with Isamu hearing his friend through the AI, similar to how alot of AI songs recreate using others' music.

Fun fact: the current prime minister of Japan recently said that she's his favorite singer and that he still goes to her shows about once a year.

Macross is lame. Music is lame. Understanding is lame. You should just kill everyone and be badass.

Not until we can cover many light years in a matter of days, if it's even possible. If there were planets with life do discover, and I mean plants and animals, and with weird minerals, and great sights, I wouldn't mind cruising inside one for a few years to get out in one of those planets every now and then. But nowadays it would take 75,000 years to reach the closest planet outside our solar system, so that means I'd die in the middle of the trip without getting anywhere.

Where did you get that number.

Granted, even the better STL estimates that would probably still be the case.

watched the movies first, glad and mad I did, but for Labyrinth of Time, it helped that it went off the movie plot line (some wild fucking changes they made in that). Cute watch, odd seeing those characters so clear and high def as well.

not that guy but an estimate like that is almost certainly based on the speed of the only probes we sent out of the solar system

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_1
>To compare, Proxima Centauri, the closest star to the Sun, is about 4.2 light-years (2.65ร—105 AU) distant. If the spacecraft was traveling in the direction of that star, it would take 73,775 years to reach it.
