Macross 7. Those words alone are enough to make a certain section of
Macross fans shudder. Despite the six-part
Macross II: Lovers Again OVA arguably being the black sheep of the franchise, it’s undoubtedly
Macross 7 that has the most mixed response amongst its English-speaking fans. But in its home country the success of
Macross 7 cannot be understated, spawning a 49-episode television series, three OVAs, 12 home release minisodes, a five-part sequel OVA, a ton of albums, manga spin-offs and even a movie created solely as an advertisement for the Blu-ray remasters. So if Japan love
Macross 7 that much, surely the show can’t be all that bad can it?
