user60: I ask because it's considered an adaptation of three works (Macross, Southern Cross and Mospedia).
While I would expect questions on those works to be on topic, I'm not sure how much leeway there is for derivative works.

user41: Wikipedia says it's an anime, and we're here to discuss anime. 
As long as it's clear that's what we're talking about, what's the problem?
