I’ve been watching every macross these past weeks, and this one is definitely the worst entry of the franchise. The music is amazing, the rest not so much. In every series i watched, i found the cast to be more or less really good, some characters i disliked strongly but not enough to trash the whole show; macross F manages to have the WORST cast out of every macross. Sheryl and Ranka are the saving grace of it, and Brera is also a good character, everyone else was either a blatant carbon copy of a past character (Cathy is obviously inspired by Misa and so on) or straight up unlikable. Alto is the worst macross protagonist ive met, his looks and background are so good but his personality? not so much. It’s obvious from the very beginning of the series that he prefers Sheryl, and yet he keeps on being uncertain and misleading Ranka, who ends up with a broken heart each time. The treatment of female characters in this show is absolutely terrible, from Ranka and Sheryl who are used for the worst love triangle i’ve ever seen, to girls like Cathy, Nanase, Klan, who did absolutely nothing except being used for fanservice and add to the amount of couples this show has. Klan was especially bad, the whole mess of having a different body when being micronized was absolutely disgusting, every other micronized zentradi is normal and then you have this girl who has either huge boobs or a childlike body depending on her size. Disgusting. Her romance with Michael was terrible as well, Michael always treated her like garbage and now before dying he confesses? Give me a break.
The enemies weren’t good either, Grace was the pinnacle of unlikable, the other guy was so irrelevant i dont even remember his name; all he did in this show is have sex with Cathy in one of the first episodes and thats about it.
Long story short: this show is shit. The music is fantastic but you can listen to it without watching this crappy anime.
