Okay, another one I have to see and appreciate first. Yes, Macross is like unto a legend among anime fans, and yes, Carl Macek's name shall be cursed forevermore, but I haven't seen any of it and so I haven't a clue what you're talking about.
Except for Minmei's singing. Somehow, I know all about that. And I'm pretty sure I don't want it in Doug's helmet.
[Now, see, THIS is why Macek's name should be cursed forevermore: Macross's Minmay (or Minmei) had a great singing voice--Maria Iijima, who actually wrote the many if not all the songs that she sung in the series. I still get choked up when the Macross lands on Earth and "My beautiful place" is playing. And "My boyfriend's a pilot now" is just a fun, mindless little pop song.
The dub is just awful. This is true. I know it. It should be avoided at all costs.
but I have to admit, I'm surprised that you never saw the original Macross. 'course, I waited nigh on four years on Animeigo's cursed pre-order waiting list for the Macross box set. but it was worth it.
Anyway: Macross deserves to be a classic, but doesn't deserve to have the reputation for bad music that Macek painted onto it.]
