As much as i love Macross, Im starting to think "Meh...." I watched the special preview and the themes in general just seem so overdone and predictable
Varajar no longer exist, Instead there is some disease called 'Var' that is triggered by fold waves that make people do violent things - Could have been a little more original
Overall theme seems to be carried X amount of years on from Macross Frontier - Singing & Foldwaves except this time its a 'super girl group' that goes around singing and controlling these little flying devices that can turn into shields. Its like an uber pop group made out of super heroes - They go on stage, jump about a bit, sing a few lines and everyone is miraculously saved from absolute peril
Suddenly an unknown enemy appears that possess advanced technology but and looks the almost the same as the attack units that the earth forces use and unleashes an epic beat down of massive proportions on earth forces. earth forces get their shit pushed in ----- almost the exact same thing that happened in frontier
'Super girl group' keep singing - preview ends
Remember the days of Ming May Saga? Remember how fucking bad ass Macross Plus was?
Zero was just about watchable but way too short. I quite enjoyed frontier - I wouldnt call it a masterpiece but it seemed to have a decent amount of story and the music & the singing went along well with it.
but now we have a super group akin to idol groups like AKB48 and such, I cant help feel a little disdain for what will eventually be the next chapter in the Macross franchise.
What im probably trying to say is that it feels too geared towards the younger generation and Macross Plus stood out because it was a movie that was made with adult themes and adults in mind similar to that of Ghost In The Shell.
I'll keep an open mind and watch the first 2 or 3 episodes but i might end up skipping the series all together.
I always disliked anime because of the fans, and I'd seen some of the more extreme examples (mostly fairytale). I started watching one punch man because I heard it was rather opposite of other anime, and I actually liked it. After the season ended I decided I would move on to another anime, and I choose the dubbed FMA: Brotherhood. It was actually really good, but I'm sad it ended. Felt really short at just 64 episodes.
I'm looking for something else now, thinking I may choose cowboy bebop.

yeah, watch the movie after the series as its a sequel. the 'most popular' anime tends to be the biggest, which means shows like naruto, bleach, the original FMA etc all just get dragged out and suck horribly. the shorter stuff is often the best.
I know it got a good ending, the characters all got mostly conclusive endings (though I think they could have shown a bit more resolution) I just wish there was more. I image that's what kills a lot of good anime though, so I can't complain.
Now, is square Enix an anime company or a video game company?

I'd follow Cowboy Bebop with Trigun. They're roughly the same era, and while not the same story line, I get the same "feel" from them. Same basic style drawing, and I really liked both stories.
Another A+ classic can be Death Note or Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex.
Fate/Zero, Puella Magi, Death Parade and steins;gate are, IMO, good options.

Don't know that I would call those "classic", unless you mean the original Ghost in the Shell Those are both EXCELLENT choices, but quite a bit different in story style than Bebop, tho.
I actually watched those two though. And in the latter, at least things are different in a harem anime, albeit towards the other extreme (an asshole, still clueless though, just like the MCs before him and after him).

The ending to Bleach as an anime was frustrating (that ending was sequel bait, after an arc that had enough filler for two arcs), but that might have been the fact that you could condense the 500+ episodes into 200 and not lost anything (though most of that 200 would be limited cut versions of the first 60ish episodes). The fact that the manga is still going is..infuriating. I tried reading it, and it's almost as plodding as the show was. It's dang near Dragonball Z levels of padding. Worse yet, all the gigantic plot holes are being explained in the manga (read; why let these idiots live). I'd love to see a stand alone 90 minute animation that summarizes the last arc and gives us some closure. Heck, with Kubo's style 90 minutes might be more than he needs.
I'd ask whether Kubo could do a decent plot, but reading the brief bit of Zombie Powder confirmed any suspicions I had that Bleach was a rare hit instead of a demonstration of Kubo's standards.
The science has pretty much rang in here. Wine tasting is utterly BS. The moral of the story is the same one with anime. Find what you like, and consume it without regards to its supposed pedigree.
I might say Akira was amazing, but give me a marathon of One Punch Man any day of the week. Sometimes you don't need to try the bottle labelled "toilet cleaner" to determine that you won't like it. Sometimes that discount bin wine is leagues better than the expensive stuff, because of the people you're with.
I've been away for awhile and so far the current anime i'm watching right now are:
-Gundam Iron-Blooded Orphan
-Cardfight Vanguard GIRS
-Dragonball Super
-Phantasy Star online 2
What are people opinion on latest gundam?? Personally i am really liking this series a lot,kinda reminds me UC era of violence and mixed with 00 stuff.
Phantasy star online 2 is a bit boring for my taste,even though its just Sega way of promoting the game.
Macross Delta episode 1 was a massive pile of garbage,hugely disappointed with what Macross has become with this new show.
