A Macross II Discussion
Every long-running franchise has its shinning stars; those parts of the larger series that are held up as the pinnacles of what the franchise has to offer. At the same time, every franchise also has its low points that everyone tries to sweep under the rug and forget about the best they can. Macross II is definitely not in the highly regarded category when it comes to Macross in general. It was enough of a shame on the House that Hikaru built that it was barley recognized as anything but “a story from an alternate timeline.” Andrew from the Veef Show on Collection DX joins us to discuss what Macross II did to earn itself the reputation it has and in turn what it did right.

And now your helpful bartenders at The Speakeasy present your drink:
Red-headed Stepchild
- 1 oz DeKuyper Watermelon Pucker schnapps
- 1 oz Jagermeister herbal liqueur
- 3 – 4 oz Minute Maid fruit punch
Shake ingredients over ice in a cocktail shaker. Pour into a chilled whiskey sour glass, and serve.
OH GAWD I remember DeKuyper because every time we had to change prices on them at the store, I was the one down on my hands and knees peeling off the tags on every single one because nobody bought them D:
Funny. At the liquor store I worked at they sold fairly briskly. They were not the best sellers (nothing sold better than box wine and cheap vodka) but they moved all right. That maybe just a factor of working in a liquor store in a college town.
(And so ends another installment of Shop Talk that No One Really Cares About Theater)

Macross II is underrated. It is actually the true sequel to SDF Macross. M7, M0, Mplus and MF are terrible shows that are nothing like true Macross.
Oh you silly dilly.
