You say that like it's a bad thing. ;)

It started to get kinda dry in episodes 15-20 (it seemed like half the episode was just Ranka singing the same song over and over) but overall the show was amazing. Also it's the only show that I've thought the mecha looked awesome instead of retarded.

Yea. The series did dry out as soon as Ranka took over the stage. Come to think of it, they've never giving her any special treatment like Sheryl did (outfit changing, flashy scenes, etc). I think right from where Sheryl and Ranka did the duel song on Alto ... right after that it started to dry a bit. After Sheryl picked up from where Ranka left off, it became more interesting. I actually thought the interesting parts were when Sheryl started to sing Diamond Crevasse when everyone lost hope ... Or was it when she was at Alto's house? I can't decided. I got sucked in more as soon as they started to talk about Sheryl's life ... tho' it is still incomplete and the fragments aren't well put together as to why Sheryl ended up on the streets? Her rise as a star?. I still enjoyed it regardless. Tho' I'm pretty sure the movie is going to be about Sheryl. ;]
I'm uploading a torrent this weekend with all the extra stuff that was left out, excluding the actual series which is already uploaded on BakaBT. ;] Maybe Friday night or Saturday morning.

Yeah, I can't wait for the movie. Do you guys know if Thora will be releasing it? I did a search yesterday but I couldn't find any groups that were subbing it actually.

It's gonig to get released around Thanks Giving of this year. I'm not sure if that's a theater release tho' if it does get released on Blu-ray then I'm pretty damn sure THORA will do it. Plus, Macross series is very famous so it won't get left out.
What's the reason for not licensing the series (and other Macross titles) to the states? There were problems ... I'm guessing the producers are asking for a large sum of money to get it licensed ... can't blame them if so.

Legalities. Harmony Gold and the Robotech franchise stand in the way of anyone wanting to bring Macross to the US, and although it's ultimately unlikely that they could contest it should Macross be licensed, the mere possibility of a lengthy (and costly, even if you win) lawsuit in the US isn't something most companies look forward to; the profit margins on anime aren't exactly stellar to begin with. If you want to know more about it, google "macross legalities".
