      Story and Characters Macross 7 Encore consists of 3 unbroadcasted episodes of the Macross 7 series. "On Stage" focuses on Ray's past as a fighter pilot, how he first met Basara, and how they formed Fire Bomber seen through the eyes of a television expose (think "E-Hollywood True Story") interspersed with snippets of what really happened. This was very well done, particularly the two bridge girls watching the show. There was also a Veffidas backstory which just left me wanting more. In "Which One Do You Love," a sick Milia does not expect to live long. So she attempts to get her affairs in order byarranging Mylene's marriage to Basara, matchmaking Gamlin and going out with a bang. Very enjoyable.nnIn "Fleet of the Strongest Women," the Macross 7 fleet encounters a rogue Meltrandi fleet led by an old rival of Millia. She and Max head out to try to negotiate peace with the Meltrandi to avert a war. Shades of the original Macross. But Fire Bomber isn't going to stay uninvolved! This episode was very well done.nnArt/AnimationnnDated animation and TONS of frame reuse which for some reason didn't bother me much in the OVAs. Not stellar but not horrible, just average.nnSoundnnFeatured some songs from previous Macross Series - original SDF Macross, and Macross Plus. Used as background music but very effective. Also a new Fire Bomber song.nnEnjoymentnnThis was a lot better than the 49 episode series especially in character development and backstory. I can't help feeling that a few of these episodes would have improved the flavor of the Macross 7 series.

      These were actually great. Just like The Galaxy is Calling Me, this should have been part of the main series. But at least as an OVA, it actually gets some good animation comparatively. The Millia segment was possibly the best moment in all of 7. These OVAs are also the only glimpse we have of understanding Max and Millia’s relationship. As some of the best of 7, if you like this series in even the slightest way, these are some of the best episodes. Stupid love triangle plot aside. The worst thing about these is that it’s the last appearance of Flower Girl. With a very tasteless bitof fan service unfortunately. She deserved better. Like her last appearance in the main tv series for 7.
