Okay SDF Macross superfans, I have a question:
I was reading today that Minmay ran off with Hikaru and Misa on the Megaroad 01. But when I watch Macross Flashback 2012, we see Minmay in a white suit on the Megaroad 01 as it takes off…as well as a Minmay in a pinstriped suit on Earth watching it take off (as well as hanging around the arena she performed in AFTER the Megaroad takes off).
I’ve always “read” that as Minmay actually staying behind on Earth to live an anonymous life while some kind of hologram was on the ship during takeoff so people on Earth thought she DID go into space.
Anyone know the real story? I may be a Robotech expert, but beyond the original Macross series, I don’t know a whole lot of the Japanese backstory .
