 Macross: War in a Material World. Matt Alt posted a really fascinating essay about Macross over at Néojaponisme here:

Have any of you seen Macross Frontier yet? Nice new Valkyrie designs... only 1 episode that I've see so far, but it looks promising.

"Nary a nursing home, hospital, supermarket, waste-treatment plant, garbage dump, or anything remotely outside the scope of a teenage or twenty-something otaku’s interest makes an appearance."
Best quote of the article.
It raises some great points but it's definitely overshadowed by the comments... there's some heavy and knowledgeable opinions in there...

I think it's funny that the kids go to a high school shaped like the SDF-1.

Me, too, and at the same time I wonder if they should have just let sleeping dogs lie. I feel the same way about the new VOTOMS series.
Bandai is going to be doing Macross Frontier toys and/or models, BTW.
