![]() They studied the history and made the fiction after the fact. That’s what I have trouble getting people to understand. It does make you feel that there was a TV show which then became a movie.Įxactly. In the teaser for DYRL, there is a line that goes, “I am Lynn Minmay, I will be playing the lead in this movie”. It’s not just the movie, they are ALL works of fiction. So… “Macross 7” is also a TV series broadcast within the Macross timeline? Then later, there was a “Macross 7 incident”, and a TV series was made about that. OK, so in the timeline you have a movie called DYRL that was released, does that mean that the TV series is the true story? Well, you have the SDF-1 that supposedly fell from the sky, and then a story was made about the subsequent history and was televised. The actors and lines also change, so the character changes. The producers look at the real event and adapt the character according to their wishes. For example, in period dramas you have Oda Nobunaga and Tokugawa Ieyasu, but there are so many Oda Nobunagas and Tokugawa Ieyasus. ![]() ![]() They’re all based on a war that actually took place, but they are all different. For example, you’ve got World War II, and then you have lots of movies based on that event, right? They are all fictional. You know… This is something I have trouble getting people to understand in magazine interviews. How is this explained in terms of the timeline? Next, I’d like to ask about DYRL… The design for Exedore is green all throughout the rest of the Macross shows. Here is the source interview: (click image to go to linked forum thread) DYRL? isn’t just a ‘real’ fictional film, it’s a ‘real’ fictional animated film.īig Question #1: The people in the Macross universe sure love their anime don’t they? We see animated illustrations representing fictional characters. Roy Focker? Possibly really blonde.Ĭheck that, we don’t really even see actors. We don’t know what Mao Nome looks like, nor what Nekki Basara really looks like. We don’t really know how Ichijo Hikaru looks like, because what we see is an actor playing his role. ![]() We see characters, but never as they really are. The same applies to Macross Plus, and Macross Zer0 is actually a mini-series that eventually became a film where Ranka Lee played Mao as depicted by the fictional TV series Macross Frontier. What we viewers watched, is what the people in the Macross universe watched.ĭYRL? is a movie, as attested by the Max Jenius character in Macross 7 – which in turn is a TV show. This means that Super Dimension Fortress Macross is in fact a television program shown to people in the fictional universe of Macross. Macross creator Kawamori Shoji stated in an interview back in 1998 that every show in the Macross franchise is actually a show in the continuity of Macross. I cannot make the same assumptions for the Macross franchise. ![]() The events in both story happen in the same world at different times. However, there are certain assumptions I can’t do without: when the production team says show X is a sequel to show W, I believe that the story in show X is part of the continuity of show W. I don’t think it’s unimportant either, but no I don’t privilege it as “Word of God” as a practice. I don’t make a custom of regarding quotations from the creator about the subject work as definitive interpretations of the created product. ![]()
