COMPLETE MACROSS GIGANTIC POLL!!

5UfKknYkZcAu2gFGlcjT5ayrDNOZ_dbcAf39etjGBXY

So the big international Macross poll just happened and there is much tumult in a few VERY small circles about the results. There isn’t much that really surprises me, except for the low showing of the Macross 7 movie, which I think is EXCELLENT, one of the greatest Macross productions ever, but I guess we all have our complaints. In fairness, I didn’t vote for it, because I still think Do You Remember Love? is one of the greatest movies of all time.

(And yes, some of the votes were definitely split, unfairly. The YF-19 would’ve gotten WAY more votes had it not been divided between the Plus OVA and movie.)

Anyway, we have the results now, despite my complaints (although I have NO complaints about the lowest ranked production), and the complaints of other fortysomethings trying to convince themselves that nobody ever liked Delta (and they’re apparently REALLY invested in it failing, despite the fact that the failure of Delta means no more Macross), so here they are:

(If you want to see the breakdowns of gender and age, which is different than you might think, please check with Gwyn. He’s got all the screencaps.)

(And the results are here. Just click on 結果発表. It’ll give you the options of “Productions,” “Characters,” “Mecha,” and “Songs.”)

One thought on “COMPLETE MACROSS GIGANTIC POLL!!”

  1. I like reading this blog but it’s full of spoilers. I understand it’s your blog, and you can write how you wish, from the perspective of having seen it all, but what about the new fans? It’s a franchise with many series and movies, and not everyone’s seen everything. There’s a lot of insight in your rewatch blog posts, but too bad that one needs to finish an entire series before reading. I think you should at least edit away the commentary on song #20 for this post.
