Yeah, for some time now I had the suspicion that the animated project was not a series but a movie or two and since Delta was very much still fresh in the mind of Japanese fans it was obvious they would continue with it.
After having watched the Delta movie I can say that it's better than the series as a whole, just because it takes the only good parts of the series, i.e. the first 13 episodes, condense it and then it just replace the mid-series battle for the final one, still not as good as Frontier obviously or other Macross movies but definitely not the worst Macross content there is.
Now the thing is that the movie finished the series storyline already with some little changes
The ending felt definite and this time with less plot holes or hanging storylines, so if anything the fact that they will have to come up with something completely new at least has piqued my interest a bit.
