I just saw the fansub of Macross Zero 2, and if anything they've pushed the integration of cels and CG to be even more seamless... We see a Valk walking in Guardian mode instead of just hovering, the opposing force VFs get much more visibility, and we start yo learn more of the past of the seting - the real proto-culture, not Sat-- er, Macek's hokey energy source.

I think the McDonnel Douglas (At least, I think that's who made them... I'm remembering from around the time of the first OVA release, that they were supposed to be the export models, like RL F-20s) opponent VFs have actually displaced the VF5000 at the top of my 'I WANT ONE!!' list, purely with the k3wlfaktor of having flapping wings. - that makes the top five list McDD-dunno-the-name, VF-5000FAST2 Super Super Star Mirage, (since its space handling sucks without the booster, and the original FAST for that model had poor endurance), VF-4 Lightning III, VB-1 Konig Monster, and VF-14 Hunter (the model the Varauta Eigerzorene and Panzerzorene from Macross 7 were derived from, and which is sleeker than either, though the AZ-130 Panzerzorene has it outdone in the looks nasty department - it's kind of a tossup between those two, trading a bit more durability in the Pz for performance in the Hunter)

Anyway, look around the file sharing networks, it's out there at around 190Mb. Just make sure to buy a copy when it comes out officially, so they keep making 'em, ya?
