Macross
Thursday, July 05, 2007
This is Super Dimension Fortress Macross. Macross started with a 1970s anime that became the base for future mecha animes, alongside Gundam. The story goes that an alien ship crashlanded on Earth in 1999. The humans then
salvaged the alien technology and in turn mass-produces variable fighters; fighter jets that could transform to Gerwalk mode or soldier mode(robot). Another alien race arrives, begins a pewpew war
and that's where all the nerd-gasm aerial dogfights happen.
From Macross Zero, the latest instalment
Macross spawned five anime series and three OVAs. sh|ru remembers watching this on TV along with Robotech and Genesis Climber Mospeada. Not too be confused with Macross, Robotech is the American rebranding of Macross together with Mospeada with totally different storyline.
So the point of this post is? With the release of Transformers that also focuses on transforming machines, it would be a dream to see this series adapted to the silver screen. Remember Starscream's F-22 Raptor? Macross is the same thing. Think of it as something like Transformers meets Stealth.
Macross+ dogfight(the YF-19 is sh|ru's fav variable fighter; the red-white one)
The chances of it is really slim, probably the fan-base isn't big enough. FF7 got their movie because of the super-huge fanbase. Not many know about Macross. The best bet would be Gundam.
This year will be the 25th anniversary of Macross. Hopefully the pull another anime out of their a$$es.
