For fans of the original Macross series, this version will probably throw you for a loop. It does have it's serious tone and at the same time it's campy colorfulness. It is not the same soap opera as were the previous series that came before it. For those looking the classic emotionally felt saga with love triangles and epic battles, this series is not for you. However, if you are seeking some fun and light hearted entertainment, then sit back and enjoy the ride. The battles do share the same large epic style as did the original saga, but they add a sense of fun and adventure instead of the lingering dangers. And the addition of the music, this series becomes very colorful from beginning to end. It also helps to have a few "cool" looking mecha flying about. The character and technology designs are probably some of the best. This series is very much a different take on this universe. A campy take, but a entertaining one none the less. The music and characters will grow on you as the story progresses. Definitely, a series not a to underestimate.
