what amazes me is that you manage to retain the feeling of the original from animation to sound effects, something that most animators of today fail to replicate in bringing back the old school anime to today.

I can't help but notice that, when CGI animators try to recreate animation classics with computer animation, it lacks that kinetic energy, that "Sakuga" power.
THIS has tonnes of it! Very faithful to the "Itano Circus" style!

Man, imagine what you could
Do with a major studio and a budget backing your work…. Between this and your recent transformers animation it’s what we’ve been begging for for the past 20 years…. I can’t believe how good this looked and the sound effects were PERFECT

They shooting like an A-10 Thunderbolt! Mission Accomplished.

The simulation of not just 2d but original style wasjust amazing

[tanguman]

The combination of two art style done just flawlessly, I am impressed beyond words

小学生の頃、凄く好きだったマクロスを、
こんな映像で観れるなんて…

『ロイ・フォッカー』と書いてた俺。
この動画最高。

Love the sound of the gun pod. Sounds like the warthog

[gioiacobucci]

Great job simulating little imperfections, even in the camera weave of the logo at the end. Adds so much texture/character to it.

Wow, Deculture! THANK YOU for the cool tribute to Macross with the Itano Circus style thrown in. What an early X-mas present for the eyes! Right now, as I'm watching this, I have the Macross 'Dogfighter' theme music playing simultaneously on another open tab. The result is pure SDF bliss!!!

[CountOfMonteCristo_]

Dude I’m never a fan of fan works but YOU KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK! This is phenomenal!

[sergie]

You really captured the feel of it!! Especially, the itano circus, that was great!!

[EzriHielmiCheDaud]

Beautiful, even the sound effects is totally on point with the original anime, well done!

[diallo]

Those sound effects really took me back. Haven't heard those in a few decades.

[ditzydoo]

Roy Fokker would be proud to call this group of bad asses his own... Well done 87render, well done.

This is how you use hightech animation technology, you try to be as faithful as possible. As only true enthusiasts understands that it is not all about the visuals and the dialogues, but just as important is the feel and the atmosphere the story is trying to portray.

[TheSanien]

You just have to love the classic sound effects ❤️

[ZephrusPrime]

A piece of the best of my childhood! Nailed the gun sound too, I thought it was lost.

[sowande]

This is amazing. My jaw is on the floor. The sounds are amazing. Oh man. Perfect.
