(hoping to get the tags right this time...)
(Well, it's more complex than that... but not by much.)
And you should definitely see the movie, for three reasons:
-the animation is much better (although the plot makes even less sense)
-The title tune, "Ai Oboete Imasu Ka" (Do You Remember Love?) is a far niftier armada-stopper than AwN
(Do you remember the moment
When our eyes met for the first time?
Do you remember the moment
When we touched and held each other?
It was a time we'd remember
That would last beyond forever
I love you so...)
and finally,
-Hikaru gets to slap Minmei. Who at that point really REALLY deserves it.
...And about Hikaru: given that he grew up in a Flying Circus, with his father and Roy as mentors, I can buy the mad skillz thing. Especially since he's at best only the no. 3 human pilot.
As for the other sequelage:
M-II: Interesting... but not great.
Macross +: Coooooooool. Freaky tunes, man.
Macross 7: I don't know about the rest, but the first eight episodes are highly amusing... except for the whole Max vs. Miria thing. I really don't like where their relationship went, and I hope it was repaired by series end.
Macross 0: Has anyone seen this "prequel" yet?

Quote:That's largely because the creators got an unexpected last-minute extension to the series run. "Ai wa Nagareru" was supposed to be the final episode.
I have some problems with the plotting; the last 8 or so episodes (after the Zentradi fleet is wiped out) seem very anticlimactic to me. I mean, I think I know what the creators were doing, storywise, but it just seemed like a long, drawn-out denoument that really didn't work well.
