----------------------------------------
Ingues totally disappointed my expectations, I was thinking he might look like some big, old, ugly... okay you get the picture. :D Then he turn out to be a handsome bastard with a case of megalomania. XD

Nexx is totally kicking enemy ass here but I don't feel anything out of the action. Another thing, although she had very brief contact with the Marduk, when did Sylvie suddenly become an expert in Marduk's politics and military? >_<
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,
Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy.

ahh.. 90s. They all go for the looks nothing more. This whole scenario looks pointless; they could made better recap of the original instead of this one.

All of the above (I regret being right about the villain -_-) except I find the action more than acceptable (I'm just not a client of this type of scenes).
Also the look... as beautiful as ugly...

Still better than last episode though.

It's scary how much what they try to do seems compressed.

While some mecha designs are nice, the "Macross Cannon" is a sight to behold. Someone should have said somewhere during the development that it was simply too much XD @CodeBlazeFate (check the mecha) Also, having a few of those humonguous cannon things in 80 years only?!

4/5

@St0rmblade Can't remember who was that Nexx... Failed Guru vibe?
Alien Amuro because of Furuya?

Sounds like you loved the Macross Cannons too. XD

What do we have here?

- Macross randomly shooting energy in the air again
- "Macross Cannons"
- Lots of mecha porn
- Cartoonishly bad villain
- Nexx giving that Scirocco vibe
- Alien Amuro sending Ishtar off
- Sylvie meeting her higher-up twice in a *very* evangelionish scene (even though Eva came out only 5 years later). Akiyuki Shinbo and Kunihiko Ikuhara also like(d) to use such style, but I don't think it was that popular back then...

P.S. The first seconds of the OP and the characters' movements remind me of Nadia OP for some reason.

----------
@Rei_III regarding Nexx (the cool pilot who had a thing for Sylvie but it never developed into anything) and "Alien Amuro" I'm referring to their seiyuus, yes. I rarely remember seiyuu voices because most aren't that memorable (or I'm deaf) and can change significantly from show to show, but sometimes you just cannot forget the unique and known voice (for me it's most notably Norio Wakamoto). Some people just seem to voice certain types of characters and you recognize them instantly.

I "loved" Macross Cannons but I still can't get why did they decide not to use the original Macross. Maybe left it as a "symbol" on Earth, I don't know.
