Yeah, that too. God, Windermere is a lousily-written villain, aren't they?

So again... don't need a ramble about similarities of plot. Focusing solely on release dates and how either might contend on this.

The villain stuff was a response to Tak in particular. But I also want to point out that Delta is also trying to be like Gundam at some level with the villain. But failed the execution

And about animated releases, at this point, it's questionable to expect Macross to challenge Gundam's releases if the M franchise is already struggling with one animated outing (Delta) in the span of years. Meanwhile, Gundam right now is like the Marvel-machine with clear planning and good brains and muscles to make their animated features (4 different good outings in a roughly the same period is no simple task). Rather than rushing things to match Gundam release frequency, I want Kawamori and co to prioritize to think about making the next Macross anime an actually good or even great entry. I mean, Macross can't just rely on the success of the songs, singles and albums. We need more quality, or go make some pure-fun series like GBF or Macross: The Ride.
