Macross Plus Movie Poster
There’s something about this Macross Plus Movie poster that sends goose bumps up my spine whenever I see it. I find the both picture breath taking and sad.

Racism against asians?
Just read somewhere that a texas republican wanted to pass a law that requires asians to change their names to make it easy for people to understand. Oh well, you can’t please everybody.

Dakedo Baby!
I think I’ve had too much Macross last month. Resulting in me going through the entire Original Macross Series, Macross Plus, Macross Zero and Macross Frontier in the span of just a few days.
Can’t believe that its been 25 years already since the first series, Super Dimension Fortress Macross, was shown.
Macross 7 however seems to be the one I like the least because of the thin story line. At least Shoji Kawamori made up for it with the release of Macross Frontier, which had a superb plot and an awesome soundtrack. Courtesy of Yoko Kanno.
Despite that, I still like some songs in the Macross 7 Soundtrack, especially Dakedo Baby because it’s such a cute song.
