The more I watch Macross, the more I think about Gundam, and cannot help but to have this feeling of the latter simply abusing that entire 'Ace' concept. Not that Gundam battles are small (although they are significantly smaller than anything in Macross), but nothing decisive could ever be achieved unless they drop one or two of them 'aces' into the fray.
Way too much personal duels, and the amount of philosophical exchanges sometimes drive me nuts.
Macross is a huge contrast to Gundam's ace concept. While certain characters in Macross do play significant roles, their importance isn't overwhelming. Call it realism if you will, but I like it that way, heh.
