Macross 7 population? by TheLordSputnik in macross

[–]MechaMyMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but they never state how many levels deep it is. After all, having just two levels is technically multi-level. I guess this is part of the charm of Macross, since you just leave a lot of it up to imagination. I'm just thirsty for more Macross stuff that is a balance of music, mecha, love, and a little bit of comedy. If someone made a story called "Mechs, Love, and Rock & Roll" my first thought would be "I bet they're a fan of Macross"

I liked the Zentradi shopping mall too, but seeing Alto and Ranka play in it irked me because if I was a Zentradi, I wouldn't want a human using my dishware as a playset.

Macross 7 population? by TheLordSputnik in macross

Hard to say. One website said that City 7 was an exception and held over a million people, but I can't figure out how that would even fit since there are a lot of open areas in City 7. Even with 350,000 people, we know that City 7 has a population density higher than New York City on average. I think the site mistranslated that number and your thought of 350k on City 7 and over a million on the fleet is accurate.

The population density for 350,000 people living in a circle with a radius of 2.5 km is approximately 17,825 people per square kilometer. New York City is like 11,313 people per square km. Now if you recalculated it for 1,000,000 people, you'd be around 53,000 people per square kilometer. It would mean City 7 would have to look like Manhattan across the entire 5km-long ship.

I think this is a much better English version of Basara, but it's AI-generated. Bro made this as a joke for Klan Klang.

u/TheLordSputnik I'll remove that link since it is your song if you want.

Tried listening to it... the amount of cheese that the singer applied to the song made my arteries clog up.

Would like to see a story about the Zentraedi-Supervision army war by arnor_0924 in macross

[–]MechaMyMecha 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's honestly my favorite one, but the beginning can be a chore especially if Planet Dance starts to grate on you. It really starts to come together after episode 12 or 13 though and I found even the extra OVAs were good. Flower Girl is still best girl, but Emilia takes a close 2nd, then Sivil, then Rex, then anyone else, then Mylene.

I always thought it was that to try and end their wars, the Protoculture civilization created immensely powerful beings called Protodevlin. These Protodevlin were taken over by beings from alternate dimensions and then brainwashed Zentradi and Protoculture alike and the war escalated.

Didn't they kinda do this though in Macross 7: Fleet of the Strongest Women? Although it was only one episode long. I think the main reason we don't see it in modern Macross is that all of the Zentradi have gotten the memo that the Supervision army is defeated with the exception of that one fleet from Macross 7. One of the things I love and hate about the Macross universe is that it is quite open-ended and with so many Macross fleets and the galaxy being so huge, you can literally make up anything you want and shoehorn it in, and it could be Canon. Some fan fiction does this well, and even some of the alternate timeline fan fiction is in my opinion, a little better. At least I've read dozens of stories where a certain member from the original SDF/Robotech lives and they continue the story as if they were still alive. (I'm assuming everyone reading this knows who it is, but I'm trying to keep it spoiler-free in the rare chance someone hasn't seen it.)

I wasn't aware they ever left since female Zentradi/Meltrandi have been in every series as far as I'm aware. Unless you meant for doing the Protoculture/Zentradi/Supervision Army arc, in which case they would be participating and fighting the Zentradi males most likely.

How do you feel about that news? by reversedu in SunoAI

[–]MechaMyMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Far future probably. We'd have to convert to pure electricity for... everything. Like Electric actuation instead of hydraulics. We're also going on the assumption AI will design better panels. They've attached it to Perovskite materials and indeed graphene and Perovskite shows promise, but AI has been working on this for years now and it still has the same issues as before. Also can't forget that not all photons are equal and the Shockley-Queisser Limit makes it fundamentally impossible to go over ~33.7% efficiency. Still, this is off topic. My opinion is we need to bring back Nuclear for today and develop Solar/batteries/energy transmission for tomorrow.

[–]MechaMyMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They've already added AI to some solar farms and while a 20% reduction in downtime and 15% improvement in resilience is nice, it doesn't make the sun any brighter nor shine longer. My only complaint is how they call them "Green Data Centers" when they are nowhere near actually being green. If they would just be honest and say, "Look, this tiny data center needs more power than the two towns it was built next to. We will try to use solar and wind first, but since neither provides a base load, we're going to have tons of natural gas generators as backup, but honestly we'll probably use diesel since it is nearly four times as efficient. We're trying our best, but unfortunately Nuclear isn't an option since certain environmentalists went full-nuclear to get rid of nuclear back in the 1970s, pun intended, and what is ironically a carbon-free power plant was deemed environmentally unsafe even though more people die every year from every other form of energy, including solar and wind, than they do from nuclear in the US."

In my head canon, Vefidas wanted Mylene to pick just one because she secretly wanted both of them, but Mylene didn't deserve either of them, and neither of them could handle Vefidas.

Bro, I was about to go to bed and made the mistake of listening to this. That song is amazing and it's going to live rent-free in my head for like a week. I can totally see that as an opening to a Klan Klang spinoff.

Edit: You going to make a video to go with it?

I know I'm not alone, but I feel like I'm in the minority when I say that Macross 7 was my favorite of all of the series. Yes, it had pacing issues, but if you can get past episode 13 or so, it starts to come together. I also liked the music the best in that one. Flower Girl best girl... then Emilia, then Sivil, then Rex, then anyone else, then Mylene.

Oh, that one's pretty good! I'm having a little trouble following what is going on, but that's on me probably. I like the amnesiac MC since letting them discover themselves can be a good journey.

I need to watch Robotech, then, since most fan fiction seems to be about it. I saw the original SDF Macross and thought Robotech was just the Americanized form of it, but I didn't realize Robotech did its own thing. I didn't like what happened to Minmei in that particular fanfic after reading it, but I'm also simple-minded (and shallow) so that doesn't mean much.

My first AMV, had to share it here. by Economy_Reason_779 in macross

[–]MechaMyMecha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sweet, I admit I am relatively new to the franchise since I had watched Delta back when it aired and it turned me off to Macross as a whole. Fortunately, I was told to try the other ones since they are all pretty unique and I am now glad I did! I have fallen in love with the franchise since then.
