By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: December 17, 2009

Parting is such sweet sorrow, and I’m going to miss this series that I’ve enjoyed and come to love over the past four months or so. There was so much to enjoy in the 36 episodes, from the aerial combat to the love triangle, to the memories of those lost and the little technical touches [...]

SDF Macross episodes 32 and 33 – I, Claudia

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: December 9, 2009

Kamjin’s insurgency makes its first coordinated attack, choosing to take hostages at a Minmay concert, and while this is significant, for most of these episodes the conflict shifts to the relationship battlefield.

SDF Macross Episode 27 – It’s the End of the World as We Know It

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: November 18, 2009

Given the grand scale of the events of episode 27, I felt it would be best to just do a one episode post this week. Preparations began among the Macross-Britai fleet last time as the main Zentradi force began to defold into Sol system, and now the battle begins. All the various resources of the [...]

SDF Macross Episodes 23 and 24 – Departures

By ExecutiveOtaku | Published: November 4, 2009

Though I fear some eventual subpar episodes as we pass the original 26 episode season mark (apparently the series was extended during its course), we have nothing but more awesome in this week’s episodes. The Zentradi boarding action is still on going at the start of episode 23 and the Zentradi Cult of Minmay for [...]
