It's probably for the best that they don't try explaining certain technologies. Would it really be beneficial to get a pseudo explanation on how Macross artificial gravity works? Or fold engines? Or the miclonization process?
When mucking about this kind of made up science, it's more likely for the writers to mess up and make it less plausible than if they'd just left it up to our imaginations.

Then i'll worry about the small details of transformable planes, constant thrust in space and g-forces on pilots.

Through acceleration, we can see the human body deform, like one part of the body is pulling another. By applying a gravitational field that pulls all the cells in unison against the vector and acceleration we effectively create inertial dampener Well thats my idea anyway. :P |

The beings that created us so to speak, would want their creation to be as much like them as possible, this would not require the redesigning of ship, interfaces..etc as they can use existing technology and concepts to resolve those problems. Its like robotics now, we are making robots to move in a made-made environment, instead of rebuilding the environment to suit them. |

I never said they should actually explain em, just that almost all sci-fi shows have them. Artificial gravity is a far worse offender, though you could sort of generate it through spinning, but most shows don't go that route,I think Gundam does, but it's unrealistic in that the sections spinning are too small, there'd be too big a difference between your feet and your head and you'd probably black out, that said Gundam has inertial dampeners too.
Star Trek is one of the worst offenders, when they accelerate to warp speed all the crew members should be splattered against the walls, yet a small hit from a torpedo causes everyone to fall over |

I have question(s).
1. Did Max pilot a Zentraedi fighter (the Queadluun Rau or however it's spelled) in the older series? 1a. If so, I thought they were only able to be piloted by Zentraedi females? I'm prepared for spoilage. But don't forget the tags for the rest though. |

Yeah everything in Do You Remember Love is not canon, including the song itself. You hear it a lot anyway as Do You Remember Love was a popular in universe retelling of Macross, so most characters would be familiar with the song.

Sci fi doesn't fully emulate real life science. It's the other way around
So far, Macross F can be watched as a standalone series but if you dont mind some funky old anime, i highly recommend the original SDF Macross (dont mistake it with robotech). It's where it all begun afterall Macross 7 is more like a side story to the whole scheme imo. Never gotten Macross Plus so i cant comment on that one. Macross Zero.... errr, i dont think that one was related at all but still a highly enjoyable OVA series.

ah sorry about that, i just remembered i didn't do a comparison on that because i couldn't play the file format at the time and end up deleting it. But i've download gattai episode 2 & 4 and the sub format quite pleasant, it's similar to Aone, easy on the eyes. As for translation quality, comparison side to side, they seem more or less similar only one nick pick is that the lack of karaoke subs for songs, gattai really don't bother with the providing romaji or even sub the ending, but that's expected for a speed sub. I haven't seen shinsen version of ep2 but shinsen generally has a superior quality of translation, but at the same time gattai doesn't seem to "flow" as well as AIA&I-Z, for a speed sub it's fin, quality wise they are a match with AIA&I-Z but the downside is the file size, which is horrendous. but if you had to choose from Aone of Shinsen on quality alone, go with gattai. for a speed sub is more then adequate, i've also notice that they also subbed the on screen text in ep4, which is an improvement since ep2, when only shinsen took the time to translate such details. I just hope Aone doesn't chop the eyecatcher for ep4, nothing will beat ep1 eyecatcher, but im still puzzled why they cut it. ma ne.
