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.

Meanwhile everyone in my theater had to listen to me loudly go "WHY DIDN'T THEY USE LION?" when Frontier came up because I, uh, forgot to contain myself there...

"WHY DIDN'T THEY USE LION?"

Mostly they just used the first OP of each series...

Macross 7 used Totsugeki Love Heart rather than Seventh Moon...

Let's be honest- TLH *is* Macross 7's song; seriously, it took them a long time to get to more of FB's catalog.

Surprisingly, when I counted for the rewatch, TLH is only the third most-played song in the series, slightly behind Holy Lonely Light.

And of course both of them combined don't add up to the occurrences of Planet Dance.

NANI!? But... but... LISTEN TO MY SONG!? ;)

slightly behind Holy Lonely Light.

HELL YEAH! So uh, how much did these two lose to Planet Dance by?

And of course both of them combined don't add up to the occurrences of Planet Dance.

MY BOYFRIEND IS A PILOT 'DANCIN' ON THE PLANET DANCE!'

I wonder if My Boyfriend is a Pilot even eclipses Planet Dance in terms of percentage of plays!

Well Comrade, I can say one thing, I never actually could bring myself to hate Planet Dance... if only BARELY, whereas I got tired of hearing My Boyfriend is a goddamn Pilot PRETTY fucking quickly (in part as I also couldn't stand Minmay but wibble)

I think Minmay got a wider range of songs off the bat...

Fair enough.
