While I am of course like "YAY, NEW MACROSS!", I am also a bit like "Yay, remake?". Sure, seeing the old series in modern CGI would be sweet from a visual standpoint. But from a dramatic standpoint, we already know what will happpen, so what's the point? And don't tell me "so that Kawamori can follow his life-long dream of making the romance ending inconclusive/have Minmei win".
I'm seriously hoping for something a bit more original than a retread. Not that I wouldn't watch it, but it seems like something Kawamori (someone known for doing innovative things) would not go for.
