You're talking about my opinions of the "old guard" of Macross 7, aren't you? :P
(I feel reluctant to call them that, though, since it implies a sense of dignity and importance to the characters that I feel they overall lack, except possibly for Max.)
Do you have an opinion on their portrayal? I resent it a lot, but at the end of the day, it's just another series, so you can say anything, even that Neo-Exsedol is a better character. :P
I have to say, though, that I've never seen Dynamite 7, nor all of the M7 OVAs. I stopped after "The Galaxy is Calling Me!" (which might have been theatrical release, I forget) "Which One Do You Love?" and "Fleet of the Strongest Women", because I was exhausted with Macross 7, and really only wanted to deal with the "old guard", though hearing of Emilia Jenius made me want to see if she was any different from the other female Zentraedi/half Zentraedi characters out there.
I think later episodes of the series firmly establish the existence of "song magic" even if the early ones might belie that notion...and in the process, make Basara into a blatant Canon Stu.
Nothing to say about much of the other anime here. I appreciate the quality of AzuDaioh, but I never got into it, and Lucky Star I tried, but it just seemed like an odd kind of "fanservice", with cute anime girls rambling about otaku subjects and other minutae, though the suggestion some have made that such girls weren't created to show female nerddom itself but to just "service" the male viewers by having cute girls talk about stuff they liked that no GUHRL actually would turned me off even more.
