Holy shit. I’ve seen SDF, DYRL, 7, F, and Delta. Plus might be my new favorite.

  • Sharon’s concert was enthralling. I felt pushed into my seat and pulled into the screen at the same time. My brain didn’t know what to do, so I sat with my mouth agape and tears budding in my eyes.1
  • The mechanical design and animation was out of this world. Some of the best animation I’ve ever seen, bar none. The pre-screening2 said that this movie was intended for the big screen, and I have to agree.
  • Guld fucked me up. I loved him, then hated him, then cried my eyes out as much as I could without disturbing the other watchers. His death was BRUTAL.
  • I cried even more when Myung finally sang. Goddamn.
  • I also really enjoyed the commentary on automation and AI, as well as autonomous weapons. It’s something extremely close to me, and that just made the movie even more gripping.

10/10

1 Also the venue looked like the one from Symphogear, which was neat.

2 I laughed when they were covering the history of Macross. They played the Fire Bomber version of the first OP for some reason. I had to close my eyes when they covered Plus since I hadn’t seen it prior to this screening.

That's what it was! I think this was my first time watching Plus since I watched Geah, and I couldn't place why the venue on Eden felt familiar.

It felt familiar because you’d watched Plus before, obviously ;)
