I can't speak with any authority, but I feel like Macross was one of the first big anime made specifically by anime fans.
The previous generations of anime creators seemed to have a wider breadth of dork-ass interests. That, and a lot of the greats from those previous generations were involved in the Japanese university protests of the late 60s - people familiar with the Immortal Science are generally better at writing compelling narratives
yeah this is what i was talking about lmao. to me macross comes from the exact same impulse as every generic isekai on narou, just made with more craft
After the revolution, generic isekai creators will be sent to the "watch/read something that isn't anime" gulag. It's just a nice library with a dorm.
