![]() note Macross Plus has a Monster being used as a target by the YF-19 and YF-21 during their competition, Macross 7 has one of the Monsters from the original series being used to defend City 7 when it got separated from the escorts, Macross Zero has a Destroid Monster mk I (the prototype version) show up to fire reaction shells at the Bird Human, Macross Frontier has the VB-6 König Monster (a variable mech whose main combat form is an improved Destroid Monster) as the strongest mech of the SMS, Macross Delta has a whole squadron of König Monsters show up to wreck enemy ships when the Vordor NUNS garrison goes on a counteroffensive, and the non-canon Macross II has the Giant Monster, a much larger take on the Monster with even more shoulder cannons and missile launchers, all larger than on the original, that makes a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cameo in the final episodes. Ensemble Dark Horse: Arguably, the Destroid Monster: it's the only mech outside of the variable fighters that has showed up in some form in every series since, however briefly and however importantly.Die for Our Ship: Minmay would surely get much less grief if she wasn't interested in Hikaru, thus keeping him and Misa apart.Awesome Music: Plenty particularly noteworthy ones include "Sunset Beach", "Zero-G Love", and the classic "My Boyfriend is a Pilot".When hired to re-dub her lines in English in 2006, Mari Iijima had by then lived in Los Angeles for over 20 years, and had mastered the English language (with an understandable Japanese accent).Hearing the original version of Minmay voiced in English, with the proper emotion and dialogue, helped restore her "innocent, but strong girl" personality to Western audiences. Part of that promise included hiring Minmay's original voice actress Mari Iijima herself to dub the character again (24 years later), in one of the most well-received aspects of the ADV dub. Note: The "Minmay hate" damage was partially corrected when Harmony Gold and ADV Films produced a new dub of Macross in 2006, as they promised much better accuracy than the 1985 Robotech dub.(And it's rumored that Forstadt sung her songs while tipsy or drunk.) This Robotech-only song was the total polar opposite of the original "Ai wa Nagareru", a very pacifist song as such, one could argue that the Robotech song qualifies as a case of American Kirby Is Hardcore. them" song "We Will Win," in the climactic final battle. ![]()
