Just finished watching Plus not to long ago. While I didn't like it nearly as much as DYRL, it was still a good watch. Now on to Zero.

Well good for you then, because I just found out that the version I downloaded was a friggin RAW!!!  So I'm currently re-downloading it along with Zero. Hopefully they won't take too long before I can watch them.
On a much brighter note, just finished watching DYRL myself. You're right about it JG, it truly is a very wonderful movie. Went and rated it Masterpiece, but if the series is better which it undoubtedly is (and if it is better, that really has me excited to watch it myself!  ) it might drop down to Excellent with the original being Masterpiece like I usually do in this case, but we'll see.

Yikes! Well, I hope you can get to them as soon as you can. Both are worth watching. Zero especially (more on that in a second).
I rated DYRL "Masterpiece" also. Of course, if I like the original series more, I'll probably end dropping DYRL's rating down a peg in the long run as well. We'll have to see though. Despite being a condensed retelling of the original series, the movie really clicked with me. Speaking of masterpieces: I just finished Zero and rated "Masterpiece." The ending just about had me in tears. The feelings I had reminded me a lot of how I felt after I finished RahXephon. I loved that series, so it's no surprise that I loved Zero as well. Not to mention Zero's CG battle sequences are the epitome of the word "spectacular." EDIT: Couldn't resist making this after watching episode 3 of Zero.  Man, I laughed so hard when that happened.

Ok better late than never.
Are you kidding me? 
If Macross Plus first episode has so much action, so much quality and so much promise then what the heck is the rest of the season going to be like. The visuals are just absolutely stunning. "I just want more" is my reaction. Dang it give me more.
I am totally new to the Macross world, so I am going to take the advise that has been suggested here and attempt to watch some of the older shows, or at least read up on the Macross world. Wow, this seems to be a long and very auspicious journey!!!

Macross Frontier OST 1 dated!
Lanca Lee instead of Ranka Lee?
And the cover for the Diamond Crevasse/Don’t Be Late CD Single

Aww .... we have to wait that long for the OST? Shoot.
I figured it would be spelled with an "L" when romanized, but to replace the "K" with a "C" makes it, well .... awkward. |

Guh... I still think "Ranka" sounds better.

Macross is always worth watching just for the production value.

Yeah, it definitely did that for me as well. I'm mostly concerned about ratting too many things masterpiece (and with your discussion about Zero it looks like I may very well be ratting yet another one at that very soon), but for as good as that movie was I definitely wouldn't be against ratting both the same. I guess it just mostly depends on what I think of the series. Definitley looking forward to Zero now, that's for sure! I'll have to get through Plus first, but that'll be no problem as I'm sure it's awesome as well. 
Ah, so that must be what you were talking about via PM! Definitely very funny though! Probably even moreso once I see the series and know more about it. Despite which though, somehow I'm going to have to be as careful as I can with that......
True, but who says we can't still call her Ranka nonetheless?

I honestly have no problem rating things "Masterpiece." Just shows how much I love anime, I guess. 
I personally rated Plus "Very Good." It's not nearly as good as DYRL or Zero in my opinion, but still worthwhile for Macross fans. The action sequences are great, although the series isn't as much about the action as it is about the characters themselves. Once you watch it, you'll see what I mean. EDIT: Zero and DYRL are like that as well, just executed much better.
Yup, that's certainly what I was talking about. I instantly thought of the Twix commercials when that happened. It really felt like one of those "moments," if you know what I mean. It is certainly funnier when you see the entire scene though.

Well neither do I really. I mean, I wouldn't go as far as to only have 4 Masterpieces amongst 200 watched anime or anything like that, but it is a strong enough word for me that I'd prefer to not have quite as many as my Excellents, Very Goods, or Goods anyways. |

Ah, so I guess we're pretty much the same then in that respect then. While series rated "Masterpiece" make up a decent amount of my list; my "Excellent, Very Goods, and Goods" combined take up a much larger portion. And I'd like very much for it to stay that way. |

Heh, your discussion makes me want to go back and review my ratings for the shows I've seen. I think that I have WAY too many masterpieces in my lists.
About the Diamond Crevasse/Don't Be Late cover: AAAAAH! SHERYL-SAMA!! Ahem. Is its release date confirmed yet? Triangler is supposed to be released on April 23 (the big anisong dump for the month), so are they going to release the two singles on the same day?
So we just keep on calling her Ranka? Great!

1/5 days to go (I'm 2 hours ahead of Japan) until Frontier episode 1 airs! In addition to spotting the differences between the "Driector'S Cut" version and what airs Thursday night I'm really looking forward to seeing the Sheryl ED Theme "Diamond Crevasse", which to my knowledge hasn't had a single second leaked yet.
Btw to all the people who recently hopping on the bandwagon, if you hear the term Itano circus here's what it means. 
General consensus seems to be that Plus (Shinichiro Watanabe is an awesome director) is superior to Zero and I agree, Kawamori got to preachy in Zero for my liking, reminded me of Arjuna at times. I'm glad that Aquarion was a step in the right direction from him being too preachy and it looks like in Frontier he just wants to tell a damn good story just like the original instead of getting on a soap box. |
