![]() ![]() Shoji Kawamori, Macross’ original creator and mechanical designer spent his student years as a Gundam fan. In Macross I can be very sure about this, but I am less confident about Gundam as I’ve still yet to see a number of shows in its metaverse (though I’ve found no evidence in my readings to contradict my impression).Īt this point I will speculate on a few things. ![]() I reflected on this and concluded that among the other installments in their respective franchises, here the machines were given more love than in any other. Until Macross 7 broke me, Macross Plus was my favorite sequel in the franchise, and my re-watch of Stardust Memory resulted in my elevating it to the top of my Gundam favorites list.

The mecha, (at least those of the real robot variety) aren’t characters in the show (even if they are sometimes humanized by their pilots, i.e. That said, I’m quite capable of enjoying a mecha anime show while remaining indifferent or even negative about the mecha ( Xam’d, Code Geass). the MSN-04 Sazabi from Char’s Counterattack). What I’m asking, is whether the mecha in a series be an ensemble dark horse? Do fans of mecha have separate relationships with the mecha and their pilots and related characters? I’m tempted to say yes, as I like certain mechain a show even if I don’t like the show itself as much (i.e. However, these to me actually serve the narrative more rather than the other way around. In recent shows like Macross Frontier and Gundam 00, there are exciting battles and daring maneuvers involving the respective Variable Fighters and Mobile Suits.
