A metaplot would be plot other than the plot that has consequences on the plot. For example, if we consider the Buffy series as the plot, the Angel series would be the metaplot in that what happens in it might have consequences in what happens in the Buffy series.
They also share the same setting, obviously.
In the case of the Macross series, it's a common setting where the events that happened in the past matter in the future. It cannot be a metaplot because all the events happened before or after the events of the plot (ie it's only prequels and sequels rather than simultaneous events that may have impacts one to another). If we call plots from the previous series "metaplots", then the word just rejected all its etymology since meta means "adjacent" or "exterior" and we're referencing to previous or subsequent events. Plots are not adjacent if they follow chronologically.

So you're saying my definition is correct.

I wasn't talking about Macross at all, I was only trying to clarify what each word meant since I was a little foggy. :P

Throughout the series, they talk about running out of resources, but towards the end of the series, it showed Macross 11 and Macross City back on Earth. Why didn't they just go back to Earth to replenish their resources? Or get reinforcements? Anyone know?
