It's April, yeah.

The dogfights and final scene with Ikenai Borderline were what sealed the deal for me in Delta. A slow start but it all came together, especially with final scene and the brass kicking in. And that's just a prologue, not even the first actual episode. What a treat.

>>135560397
I'm not sold yet, seems more like AKB0048 than Macross.

It's like a bizarre mixture of AKB0048, Symphogear and Macross. I'm apprehensive but if it continues like the second half of the preview, I'll have no qualms with it. Throw in the usual Macross tropes and we're good.

I doubt we'll get more AKB0048 but I'm glad Kawamori is using aspects of it in Delta. Preferably not too much of a reliance on it but what we've seen so far is fairly tame.

>>135560704
I liked AKB0048 but the magic-like idol group seems so out of place in Macross.

Songs in Macross are special because they serve to communicate between species using feelings rather than just words (Even if the song has lyrics). That's unique and makes a lot of sense, and helps to set up Kawamori's pacifist message.

Yet the idols' songs in Delta seem to have magical properties, which really ruins what made songs special to the Macross universe, magical songs are something incredibly generic in fiction and they don't help setting up any message, because the magical aspect really takes over the whole "songs used as communication" aspect.

AKB0048 had a magical quality to their songs, but they were not essential to the point the series was trying to make, the idols were. You could argue that maybe Delta will do something different this time around, that it won't be about communication overcoming violence, but after so many Macross series being about that, I somehow doubt it will be about anything else, and so, the magic really seem to undermine the concept.

I'm hoping for awesome dogfights though.

>>135561108
>Yet the idols' songs in Delta seem to have magical properties
what magic?

i saw an enraged zentradi calmed with a song, reminding him of the beauty of human culture

everything else was drones and holograms being controlled by the singers

>>135561108
>the magic-like idol group seems so out of place in Macross.
Music is kind of magic in 7. It ain't exactly new.

More like they are using them to calm down the Var syndrome victims.

>>135560704
I don't like it.
I like AKB0048 for being it own thing don't want it injected into the Macross universe.

>>135561108
>Kawamori
>Caring about the cultural aspects of Macross anymore

I have bad news.

>>135561206
Are you forgetting about the end of the episode? Main girl made the singing look pretty magical. Maybe the drones and holograms were not generic drones and holograms.

>>135561220
Song Energy and Spiritia always felt out of place in Macross too, maybe that's why they were never mentioned again.

>>135561108
the pacifist message in macross is kinda bullshit. Most of the time the music is literally used to distract the enemy and blow them away

>>135561407
music and culture has always been a double edged sword in macross, sure it can bridge the gap between people and end conflict or it can be used to control and conquer

both plus and frontier touched on this

>>135561259
I'm still on the fence. There's obvious immediate similarities among AKB0048 and Delta. Like mentioned previously, I'm hoping there isn't an overuse of the aspects that made AKB0048 what it was in place for Delta. I want to wait for more episodes to make a judgement but it's looking like it's cutting it close with the final scene.

Either way, I'm thankful for Ikenai Borderline being a result of it.

>>135561384
>Main girl made the singing look pretty magical.

Nigga, they made what would become the bodies of the Protodevlins before they got possessed by other-dimension-vampires.
Knowing them, the Winderemere people probably get high over songs and does some crazy shit.


>Maybe the drones and holograms were not generic drones and holograms.
They looked like normal drones and holograms, and so far, does regular things like projecting an energy shield or making holograms. And they also need to be recharged.

>>135561990
>They looked like normal drones and holograms, and so far, does regular things like projecting an energy shield or making holograms
I don't mean that they do irregular stuff, it's just that maybe they're influenced or controlled by the song. I mean, we've had stuff like this like in Frontier where they had these pendants that increased fold waves or some shit. There is nothing indicating it though, it was just an idea because of how magical the whole thing seemed to be, specially after the last scenes.

>Nigga, they made what would become the bodies of the Protodevlins before they got possessed by other-dimension-vampires.
>Knowing them, the Winderemere people probably get high over songs and does some crazy shit.
But this is exactly the magic stuff I think undermines the purpose of songs in the Macross universe.
7 was fun but the whole Spiritia thing was bullshit. If Kawamori could've done a whole anime of a hippie standing up against the war by singing his song, he probably would've, but Macross has fights and Spiritia and Song Energy were needed to make fights happen.
Remember that this is the guy who made a whole fucking OVA series about saving the whales in space.

>>135561108
I think all of the "magic" stuff was just for show. During the episode there are times were some "behind the scenes" shit happens like when the Varitech has to re-activate the flying drones and when one of the girls dodges and she has rockets under her skirt or something.

>>135562631
>maybe they're influenced or controlled by the song.
Pay attention. They are at least gesture-controlled.

There are scenes where they waved their hands over the civilians and the drone moved in to defend them.

It really was the worst part of the show.

Yeah, the members of a soulless, artistically bankrupt fad group who don't even so much as sneeze in public unless their managers tell them to are totally a super important intergalactically famous group of freedom fighters who's passion powers space ships across the galaxy, and their members who lose relevance and go into porn after their 18th birthday because they skipped out on their education are legendary spirits who possess girls in the future and deem them worthy of joining this holy order!

Couldn't they have just made the show without having AKB48 and their shitty music anywhere near it? Those plot ideas wouldn't be half as horrible if it were some original idol group with its own background, who might have actually been a little more deserving of such an iconic spot in that universe's history.

At least we're getting a space combat idol show that doesn't have obligations to ride AKB48's cock all the way through now, though.

But as a Macross title, there are a lot of expectations (and actual uses) of themes/tropes that wouldn't be there with an original work.

Right now, it's still Macross. It depends on how pervasive the AKB0048 influence ends up being on Delta. We have to wait until April to see where it goes.

>>135574649
They don't, just they have a distribution license which covers the franchise and some of the mech designs though Robotech. Just no one wants to call their bluff since it would be too costly and time consuming.

>What the hell is Robotech anyway? I heard it's Macross and another show smashed together for murrican audience, that can't be right?
No that's exactly what it is. It was one of those early dub practices. They took Macross and two other shows (that aren't as good as Macross) muxed up the footage and the resulting mutant was Robotech. They made spinoffs and such over time but nobody really cares about it anymore and the last thing they made was in 2007. Harmony Gold is just a bitch though

>>135574776
Kek, keep bitching.

>>135574776
Keep being a little whiner. Your tears sustain me.

This episode didn't even do anything wrong unless you get triggered by idols, which you probably do

>>135574776
I bet you are a Plusfag if you think idols aren't a big part of of Macross.

>>135574807
Wow.
What are the other anime?

Will you ok if Mirage(the new Jenius) is actually a weak pilot?

>>135574853
Super Dimension Southern Cross and Mospeada. Both also have transformable mechs.

>>135574872
Only if she can sing later

>>135574872
I'm not a sperg so if it leads to character development sure. If it's just her getting bullied all season, I'll be bothered. However I think it's likely for >>135574905 to happen

>>135574846
You're an idiot because in Plus idols are a huge part of the story.

>>135573726

>>135574872
Not every offspring is just as good as his/her parents or grandparents.

Just look at Gohan.

>>135574896
>>135574807
They also needed a certain number of episodes to get the budget to license it in the US, so they had to amalgamate the three shows to have any chance of airing it. People forget that Southern Cross and Mospaeda are similarly in licensing limbo because of Robotech.

>>135574233
I want to read HG's contract. It's inconceivable to me that there wouldn't be a reversion clause ("if you don't do anything with it for X years, it reverts to Satelight/Nue" -- the reason Sony had to keep making Spider-Man movies or it would revert to Marvel). It's possible that the reversion would render HG's trademark on "Macross" invalid.

>>135574923
It's fine when Watanabe does it, apparently. Like fanservice and eroge character designers in Space Dandy.

Well the difference is neither of those shows are as popular/well-known as Macross.

They did the Robotech animated sequel a few years back and in all honesty, it wasn't totally awful. The story and CGI were shit, but the production values, otherwise, were decent from what I can remember. There have also been plans for years to make a live-action adaptation, that have gone as far back as the first Spiderman movie of the 00s trilogy.

>>135575013
Yeah, I totally agree with you. Just saying that Macross is often made out to be the only victim. It's like if some singer was assassinated, and then her two bodyguards. People would only care about the singer, but the bodyguards had families too ;_;

>>135574951
>People forget that Southern Cross and Mospaeda are similarly in licensing limbo because of Robotech.
I'm aware that they had to combine 2 other anime series together because they had to meet the minimum number of episodes to broadcast during that time. I wasn't aware that Southern Cross and Mospeada was in similar shit as Macross overseas. Fuck Harmony Gold are such dicks.

>>135575057

Hope the other episodes don't have such sluts, waiting on the BDs.

>>135575102
That's because nobody cares and they are dead in Japan.

>>135574872
Yeah as long as they give her a good character arc, maybe discover skills in a different area. I'd rather her not be an undiscovered talented singer though. When the enemy singing started she didn't seem to be one of those who sensed it. Maybe tactics/command as opposed to piloting, once she sheds her "inflexible" miindset?

>>135575120
Which one? I have bad news though, the characters are mostly the same.

>>135575150

>>135574776
Man, it's so nice to see that Macross is once again popular enough to attract the shitposters like Gundam.

Shitosters, and /a/ is a pretty big place these days. It's been what, 9 years since the last Macross series?

A lot of people I see, even now, think Macross is another typical mecha. Get told to watch Macross Plus and that's it.

The only faggots whining were from /m/.

>>135576042
7 is a funny one. I know a lot of diehard mechafags give Basara a pass because he's a guy, but hate every other part of Macross. Like one guy who kept posting about how /m/ says this or /m/ says that on another forum I used to visit. Anyway, he hated that Macross had love triangles and was about music, but loved 7 because of MUH HOTBLOOD.

Then again, the guy was into 3D trannyporn, so w/e. Nor did he ever watch super robot shows.

>>135576056
It's also just a natural extension of solo idol(s) again and again. It was inevitable.

>>135576068
I know another guy who claims that Plus is his 10/10 favourite anime. He doesn't even remember Sharon Apple.

>>135576135
No. Not as many tryhards from what I can remember. In all honesty, there was nothing really notable about discussing it on /a/ other than waifu wars, which were still quite light compared to other series. 4chan was also A LOT smaller mid-2008 and earlier compared to afterwards.

Plenty "oh shit" moments when it was revealed that Macross Galaxy was still around in episode 7, but that's about it.

>>135576135
First episode was absolutely amazing after that I just got sick of the whole thing.

Never watched the movies might download and rewatch the whole thing in bluray

The thing is that most of the criticism revolves around bashing idols or saying that Delta is not a "real" Macross show. If you have other gripes with the show, I'd love to read them.

Romain has a longer face than I can remember.

>>135574574
He worked also did some work on Aria the Arietta, so he gets a lifetime pass and envy from me, regardless of anything else he does or says.

>>135574326
>So what's the relation between Winderemere and Findamia?
Windmere is a planet. You see it on the map at the start of the episode. It's where the Knights are from. Humanity tried to colonize it. The natives didn't take it too well.
Findamia is a mistranslation of Windmerian. Rogue, anti-colonial elements within the UN fleets provided the Windmerians with the materials and blueprints required to build their own Variable Fighters. The head of the Knights, Keith Aero Windmere, appears to be prince of the nation, fighting for his planet's freedom against what they perceive to be an aggressive alien conglomerate attempting to colonize their planet.

So they're not the bad guys. However, they do seem like they're being manipulated by the true bad guys into assisting with the spread of Var Syndrome.

>>135577431
Not him, but the guys from Windemere aren't even human? I've been on a bit of a break from anime recently, no reason in particular, and I've only really watched a few PVs for Delta.
