I am never the less a huge fan of Macross also, I love the whole mechanics of the planes when they transform.



I had all 3 series downloaded. I loved the old 'Ming May' or 'Macross' saga as some people like to call it.. but when it came to the 'masters saga' i totally just lost interest. I think it was because the only subbed version i could find online was dubbed by American voice actors and i couldnt change it. and i just couldnt stand the dubbing,

I think the 3rd series followed the same demise. I cant remember even watching the 3rd series. only thing i rememberd was there was a lot of pointless conversation or story telling and not much action.



fuck what your friends think. watch it first then come to your own conclusion. both genre's are worth watching.



Gundam is the DEFINITIVE mecha anime in the entire universe. I love Macross too. but I also love Gundam and both genres have their own merits.




Zeta was good but not great. endings a little shit though. theres a lot of f**king around in the series, with a certain character that doesnt know if he's here or there
I cant get myself to even think about the possibility of watching Gudamn...

I have managed to get every macross anime, movie and ova subbed just recently, its worth some 50GB altogether...
Will eventually watch what i havent yet, when im bored enough...

You are just biased toward Gundamn as i might be for macross, if others think macross is better then thats because it really is for them, and some of them actually have watched gundman or like me tried and found it uninteresting...
Id rather be rewatching escaflowne for the ntime or rewatching my Eva 1.11 and 2.22 bds or even the Macross F bd rips, or even better the old Macross classics...

I love both franchise,but i have to say Macross has more interesting story than gundam. I actually love the original Macross more than the original Gundam series.
As for the newest generation the artworks in Macross looks more impressive than Gundam.
They both have great action scenes and no deny Gundam has great story too but some of it is really predictable or their just re-using some scenes in older series and "modify" it a little.

Anything that transforms gets a thumbs up from me. So long as its not shit like beyblade or similar.

and i could be a little biased towards gundam because I build the model kits played the game on PSP and PS2 and spent hours in hong kong playing other kids on the arcade.

when i was in highschool. watching wing zero transform gave me wet dreams

Plenty of shit. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jfHa...ure=feedu_more

Some Gundams are nice, others, meh. You shouldn't consider Gundam as a single "show", but rather a bunch of different shows branded under "Gundam". There are some good ones mixed in a bunch of average ones. I have not watched Eva or Macross yet, so I cannot comment on that. Problem with Macross is that there are a lot of things to watch, whereas for Gundam you can start with a small story like Gundam Wing and then slowly move towards Universal Century timeline.

Regardless, I don't find Mecha anything more than big awesum fight scenes, with exception being Code Geass which does the storytelling much better than most. I can always go for Death Note or Madoka if I want storylines or things like that. Just like how people can stand Justin Bieber, you focus on the strengths and ignore the flaws, you will be able to enjoy things normally unwatchable, like Infinite Stratos

no wonder you didnt like it as much, the american version (robotech) was just 3 completely unrelated shows slapped together and they made up the dubs as they went along to make them seem related.

Trans Am isnt a 'transformation' its more like a turbo/overdrive function. Most gundams transform into cool stuff like fighter jets.

Secondly when they are transformed. certain functions arent available thats why they have to change according to the situations just like in macross/robotech.

Ein is so moe~.

Gundam's main storyline finished in 1993. Everything after that is based on alternate universes or random stories in between the main story line.
Here's the (slightly outdated) guide I'm using to watch Gundam. FYI I'm watching it in order of release (and universe).

Here's the (slightly outdated) guide I'm using to watch Gundam. FYI I'm watching it in order of release (and universe).
Gundam Unicorn (which is currently in a 1 OVA per half-year release) is based on the light novels set between Char's Counterattack and Gundam F91 (in terms of the timeline).

Right now we're halfway through the 6-OVA series.

they didnt do the F91 saga justice.

F91 is very underated but it was a step forward technologically if you look at the more recent Gundams to date.

I hope they re-write the saga some time.

Well, the only mecha series I watched is only iS,

ddnt like angel beats inserts too, but I like how it ends and it ending songs,
Anohana started out strong, teenage drama sh*t in the middle, and ends quite good,
As for madoka, don't make remind of it again, its truly epic,

Completed dog days also, its too cheesy I always laugh when watching iti

Inferno subs are the best for tv rips, coalgirls have bd rips, but quality is still great with inferno subs, although i wonder if these bd's have improved image...

Dammit, now I see Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom. Requiem is a series, and the other is an OVA. They are related.

Now I just need to figure out the order they need to be watched in. Or if one is a remake or what.
