rewatched the Macross Plus OVA's again. This time thinking of it more as science fiction than romance or military drama. presents a reality where humans can connect their consciousness to A.I. - Guld pilots a fighter jet with his mind, Myung controls a network that produces a world famous singer. but the more control they give to the A.I the less they retain of themselves. In Myung’s case it leads to the AI developing its own consciousness and going rogue.

there's a love triangle. but rather than focusing on the romance, thought it was underlining the importance of human relationships no matter how far technology advances. There’s no substitute for intimacy through Myung tries to find such by burying herself in work and avoiding closeness. Isamu helps to ground both of them, even as the love rival to Guld, because he is so free spirited and unpredictable in a calculated by the book environment. Maybe intended to represent what it means to be organic (human/nature) versus formulaic (machinery/science).

Was made by the same director as Bebop. Like Bebop is the theme of the past and whether its ever possible for one to escape what shapes who they are. Though in Bebop, the characters largely choose to cling to their past to the detriment of their future. While here characters are moving towards the future in an attempt to distance themselves from the past. In either direction conflict emerges when both are extremes.

if we think of science fiction as what if scenarios manifested after so and so technological advancement, in Macross Plus it could be - what happens if human consciousness and A.I become one? What potential consequence does that pose to humanity, benefit? says a lot about these things in just four episodes.

The animation in Macross Plus is a constant flex

Seras's backstory :picard:

We see how she became a cop, but witnessing her parents getting killed and her mother getting raped as a corpse:picard:

I see why Alucard took an interest in Seras

It is a mystery said:
Been rewatching Durarara and this show is turnt brehs.

It is probably the GOAT of introducing characters and the dynamics in between them.
Celty's doing a motorcycle wheelie and creating sythes out of thin air, Izayah scheming to make ppl commit that, Namie's demonic labwork and the extent she goes for Seiji, Shizuo getting enraged overhearing a simp. Intros are all so lively :banderas:

Its also crazy the amount of foreshadowing anime do that you never notice until rewatches. I think the best example was when (in utena) Saionji straight up said the objects in the sky by the arena is some sort of light trick in the first episode and that floating castle STILL being one of the biggest plot points and mysteries of the show until the end.

Mikado ryogamine resorting to the dollars for every little thing was him lowkey pushing his friend to join by making it seem like they both need to join for their help, people saying ryogamine is famous and him playing it off, izaya suspecting ryogamine of something intruiging, ryogamine logging on to the dollars network once he gets jumped despite never joining and izaya going "I had a feeling it was you"
It all makes sense now :ohhh:


How didn't I notice this on my first watch-through :pachaha:
