This unlocked a memory. I remember watching this thinking it might be good. After i finished it i left feeling it wasnt good but wasn't that terrible? Then just forgot about it. Your video was way more entertaining
I was actually introduced to Macross 2, and Macross as a whole thanks to the Palladium Books line of Robotech RPG books from the 80's and 90's. Still own all the Macross 2 source books, with the space ship deck plans and all.
I went to event featuring Seimbeda and Harmony gold reps , Got a Metal Siren to go with my G1 Skyfire transformer hehe . Fun fact ALL Robotechnology Macross Veritechs and Invid invasion ones can use Glitter Boy guns 😂 Best character for Rifts was dude who rebuilt a Beta fighter and mounted 2 of the Mark 4 GB plasma cannons into the 2 Long range missile launchers , I introduced alot of people to series thanks to Palladium.
I absolutely love Macross II. In the UK it was released on VHS in 1996. By then I was a big fan of the Robotech, and even though I was only 11, was aware of the complexities of divergent continuity and trademark ownership (I don’t know how - the internet wasn’t a “thing”). I suppose I was really enthused to see something familiar but different from the Americanised Robotech. So, like many childhood things, I make lots of excuses for it.
I have the movie on VHS. They didn't know how to release it in the US. Honestly, though, its not forgotten, but rather ignored. I enjoy it for what it is. I also do own the 6 part ova on dvd.
Yeah I get enjoying it for what it is. As I said I don't think it's outright bad or anything, it just plays things way too safe for my liking. The soundtrack is killer though.
Conventions etc alot of Macross 2 fans , J have both Veritech and Zentraedi battle pod and got a Metal Siren at a Palladium event. No theater release in bay area it was released on VHS. Series takes place years after main cast is old and dead and SDF 1 is a rebuilt modified version from a show that wasn't made hence the extra parts . Marduk are a variant of the Robotech Masters from Southern cross , Zor built the Zentraedi SDF that crashed aka the Alus , notice how few older Marduk they are . That's the connection, a bunch of post sentinels Non clone Robotech masters are on a conquer spree.
trying to navigate the copyright hellhole that is macross on youtube has been a struggle, but much like nekki basara we must try again, try again, 昨日に手を振って
Show was named poorly Sentinels was Macross 2 but never finished past what we got this is Macross 4 😂 modifications to SDF-1 rebuild and Macross cannons was idea from show scrapped before this one was greenlit . 2 and Plus had the most potential for long running series to come out of them and were planned as such and then boom new plans and we get ovas or shoer series . Harmony Gold is a garbage owner .
I'm on my first rerun of the macross saga, the first time I skipped macross II cause everyone said it was not worth it, well... they were right. Everything on this sequel is a downgrade of every macross element, the fights and valkyrie action is meh, the OP and ED songs are good but never featured in the series, and the other songs felt like they are there just to fill the space, the love triangle is terrible, I wasn't even aware there was a triangle at all until the kiss, like, did I sleep somewhere???. For me the saving grace is Ishtar an the 90s art style lol. btw your videos are very fun, I'll be watching the rest as I finish the other sequels.

I grew up with this in Cantonese.
That last song in macross II is awesome. Other than that, it’s a weird footnote
the songs are fucking great, i just wish they were tied to more interesting scenes
I saw this in the theater and was able to get the movie poster. Still have it.

See, with the series focus on music, they could have called this one Macross: Second Verse, Same As the First

I sadly didn’t see this in theaters but could have. I did get it on VHS and had the official Palladium RPG book for it
that's still pretty impressive ngl

@DarkepyonX robotech and macross have sort of become their own thing, sentinels is robotech exclusive which is why i havent covered it.

Hey you said Macross right 😂
Isn’t her hair green?
there has definitely been official art where shes had green hair, but in the actual show itself i'd say it leans closer to a light blue/cyan.
Her hair is Azure
