 AnimeFriend and Star Pro are infamously notorious among fans of the show for having brought in very spotty, off-model and continuity error-laden animation work.There were plans for a splashy ending to the series, one that would have shown major characters Misa Hayase and Hikaru Ichijo blasting off in the colonization ship "SDF-2 Megaroad-01", but the sequence was scrapped due to lack of time and budget.However, due to fan demand this sequence was later used in the "Macross Flashback 2012" OVA released in 1987.
