got home from work and wrapped up showing my friend SDF Macross

the post war arc is clearly tacked on as a last minute popularity extension

the finale peters out

Hikaru's character is kinda lessened by making him wishy-washy by leaning into the love triangle

Still Great Tho
the post war arc is exactly the kind of What Happens Now thing i want in just about every show so honestly i didn't have a problem with it, and it did finally have time to slow down and give some real great character stuff and flavor, it's some of the best content in the program
it's wild that Macross is known as The Plane Missile Show With Idols And Love Triangles and how utterly separate most of those things are in the first installment
i think i've made it pretty obvious but i liked it a lot more the second go around and i quite liked it the first go around
