For the anon who wanted the song translation.
>>135636288

I Used the gg translation and made sure it matched up with the full song, but I don't know enough moon to actually do the last 40 or so seconds of it so someone else will have to do that.

I fell in love when I saw his eyes{mitsumeatte koi wo shite}
I went for him with everything I could{mugamuchuu de oikakete}
But I want to know even more about him{dakedo motto shiritakute}
So I'm burning with passion{meramera shiteru}
New questions pop up left and right{negau hou no nazo ga fue}
And my feelings get hotter and stronger{~ hou no netsu ni naru}
So I won't hesitate to go even further into the unknown{dakara motto tobikomu no mikai no sekai}
Everyone has love and dreams{koi to ka yume to ka daredemo shinjirukedo}
But don't make them half-hearted!{sokosoko ~ }
It's a dangerous love{girigiri ai}
I can't go past the borderline{ikenai borderline}
So I'll destroy it all no matter what{nandochi demo subete kowashite miseru}
My head is full{kirikirimai}
I'm going even further{saranaru chi e to}
My mind is melting{ishiki ga tokeru}
I can't control my body{karada wa seigyo funou}
I'm coming{icchau kamone}
I had friends I joked around with{fuzakeatta tomodachi to}
I had a person who was dear to me{motomeatta anohito to}
I know I'll see them again someday{mata aeru hino tame ni}
So I'm always full of life{giragira shiteru}
The brighter the light, the bigger the shadow{hikaruhodo kage wa deki}
The more I burn, the more ashes I make{moeru hodo hai ni naru}
The more I run, the clearer it becomes{hashiru hodo mietekuru}
I see the danger line{abunai line}
I could easily wish for freedom and peace{jiyuu mo heiwa mo nozomeba umareru kedo}
but if I stayed still, I'd rot{motamota shitetara kusacchau yo}

Like any of your other regular idol anime, this time with "Macross" plastered on it? It has to try to fail, though I'm sure Kawamori will do everything possible. It doesn't change fact that Macross died long ago and all we see is his decaying body moving due electricity. Might as well call it Idol@KB #472.
>>
>>135644631
>Oh, that's changing everything, right.
Right. As if you know anything, autist.

>It doesn't change fact that Macross died long ago
Stay delusional tripfag. Macross hasn't lost steam especially when Frontier was an overwhelming hit. Delta will obviously be just as successful if not more. Cry more please.
>>
>>135644591
The same applies to every other popular anime, so no big deal. Frontier was pretty meh and was not universally liked either despite the success.

There will be a brainwashing or betrayal.

Throw enough at the wall, and it might stick.
>>
>>135644989

Δ has had mixed receptions compared to Frontier. We'll see how it goes. It will likely do well, yes; but for a lot of people on /a/, the bar with Frontier was set very high with the pilot & love interest.

I mean, hell, even now, Mikumo is being looked at as a psuedo-Sheryl in the show, and we don't even have the full first episode yet. That speaks volumes.

The second half seems more like character death than betrayal or brainwashing.

So? Delta ain't Frontier you're making assumptions based on nothing especially since Macross has never been a consistent high seller and Frontier was the exception.
>>
>>135645466
AKB0048's biggest problem was AKB48. On top of that it was an original anime. Also if you knew MF sold like hotcakes, surpassing Gundam, and was one of the highest grossing anime of its years.
>>
>>135645466

So I always knew Macross was a thing mostly due to
>pic related
and other things, but I've never delved into deeper than the understanding that there are alien girls that sing on stages that is somehow a relevant thing and there are planes that fight.

But I decided to watch the first thing ever related to it, which is delta.

And after 5 minutes I think I understood that this is literally an idol mecha.

If that is the case I kind of want to see this now.

Are there any recommended series to start with or an order or something?

3. Macross II
4. Macross Plus
5. Macross 7

7. Macross Frontier

Is this all? I looked it up but there are too many re-makes adaptations, movies and OVAs.
I think this is all though?

The science in 7 explaining the singing was just the characters missing the point. The protodevil victims were drained of their spirit and were in a sort of depression, and Basara's music helped them get out of it over a period of extended exposure. The main Protodevils could not make this on their own until they got the damn songs stuck in their heads, and tried singing themselves.

They realized that, by singing, they can cheer their own depressed asses up and fucked off into space.
