Huh, I'd completely forgotten about the Mylene subplot in Dynamite 7. I only remembered that the rest of the band didn't really feature in this OVA. Just checked eps.2 and 3, and yeah, that part can easily be omitted without affecting the story at all.

Dynamite 7 may be just a sidestory to Macross 7, but it's definitely very Macross. It fits somewhat into the alternate-retelling tradition that started with DYRL and continued with the Frontier and Delta movies, and there are some similarities with Macross Zero. At least one of the creators clearly had a thing for South(-East) Asian coastal settings too, as shown again in Delta.

The Macross 7 movie is like the OVA eps., just a silly/cool sidestory. With some added detail for long-time fans of Macross and the Jenius family.

I don't think you've mentioned the Macross 7 Plus bonus material? They're really short bits, but they add some background details to the Macross 7 characters.

I'm of two minds about this.

On one hand, I have an aversion to any editing of anime releases. And the same happens here.

On the other, the content that was edited out is extremely grating, and annoyed me. Otherwise, watching Macross 7 was one of my top anime experiences.
