Macross Frontier

[Ryllharu]

I'd think that's exactly why they want the Varja the way they are (whoever "they" are...)

The Zentradi betrayed their masters in the last television series. With the Varja being remote, mindless killing machines, you don't get that problem. They don't care. There isn't anything to assimilate into society, no culture for them to be attracted to.

They're more machines than living beings, as someone said...just like the Zerg.

I don't mean to bring the discussion off-topic or anything but I wanted to know if I have to watch any of the previous Macross series to understand what's going on in Frontier? On ANN it said its a direct sequel to the first Macross series and Macross 7. I was browsing the thread and I saw Munsu's chronological post with the links and most of you guys said to stay away from Macross 7. So is it necessary to watch these two and any of the others to understand the story in this one?

there is nothing you NEED to know... you get a small explanation at the beginning

if you don't know anything from macross 7 (edit: oh I thought the original series IS macross 7 :P sry) then it'll be just a story similiar to battlestar galactica or Freespace
