I'm rewatching Frontier now because of Delta. I didn't like Frontier back then because I thought the premise with the singing was dumb, but I'm pretty much over it. Forgot how much of a bitch she was.
>>142305249

You talking about Mirage? She was the one on the beach, pouring her heart out and insecurities while Hayate basically ignored her, rose, gave her back and talked about Freyja.

What was the pineapple thing in Frontier?
>>142308634
Ozma eats pineapple cake right before battle (a callback to Roy Focker's pineapple salad), is wounded in battle and ignores his wounds to go watch Ranka's debut concert then falls over succumbing to his wounds. It's basically the exact same as Focker's death, except he gets rushed to the hospital and survives.
Just Kawamori playing with the long time fans' expectations and emotions. It's a good example of why you shouldn't trust something just because it seems to be following an established Kawamori pattern. Hell trust it less the closer it is to an established pattern if anything.

Episode 17 was full of death flags for Ozma, including a pineapple cake he baked for Ranka (and which cheered her up), but it's far from being the only death flag in that episode. It was funny as fuck.
I'll always remember that fucker Michel's comment at the end of the episode whenwe discover Ozma's actually not dead.
Alsowe did get a death right after
I remember Micheal saying something about all thay drama and no one died for real.
>>142308761

Messer x Kaname

No. The first episode depicts someone infected with Var blowing up a bus ISIS style and then every other depiction of the infection is people firing into crowds. The infected have never shown any coordination or purpose before the aerial knights show up but due to fold signals or whatever many of the previous outbreaks before that happened were attributed to Windermere.
Windfags are terrorists and deserve a genocide or at the very least a gommie revolution to purge the nobility.

>>142310700

They also blew up the planet. I mean, that kind of goes beyond killing soldiers.
>No. The first episode depicts someone infected with Var blowing up a bus ISIS style
Actually according to the manga and side materials, Var has always been around. The thing on Al Shahal was the first time the Windermereans used Var for mind control on their own but it has been around in the galaxy before the show started, the things we saw in the opening montage were previous cases of Var, not the Windermereans using it
>>142310700
Most revolutionaries used tactics like this even Revolutionaries who were considered justvlike American revolution. Windermere would not win in a straight out fight so they have to resort to tactics like this. Once theybhavr control over the Var they can have bloodless occupations. The first attack on Al Dhahal eas a test
>>142310624ECCHI
>>142310700
Windermere didnt create the Var they just learned to control. Episode 1 was the Var test.
>>142310700
Go watch a Gundam. Macross isn't for edgelords, Macross is about understanding and achieving peace, not genocide.
>>142310908
It's also called guerrilla warfare and it has been going on since forever.
Terrorist is a deragatory term for any anti government fighting force. Its a propoganda term
>>142310894
They might be but in episode 5 when talking about what happened in 4, they state that it was the first time the infected have been coordinated and imply that every previous outbreak had been just wild and chaotic violence.
Kaname then goes on to say that now that they know what to look for previous occurances can be attributed to Windermere.
It is a simple conclusion that even if they were experitmening with it before, the result was still individuals going crazy and attacking everything around them. Spreading terror amongst civilian population seemingly at random in order to secure political goals.
They are space terrorists.
So if Windies are using the kitty planet water + their apples to spread the Var, does that mean that they only started doing this when they occupied the kitty planet? Or does water from other ruins + apples also trigger the Var?
>>142311030
>It is a simple conclusion that even if they were experitmening with it before,
They weren't "experimenting" with it before. They weren't doing anything with it before episode 1. The previous cases before episode 1 were unrelated incidents of the general infection of Var
>>142311030
No Var Syndrome existed beforr the Windermer Revoltion and they spread the apples mostly to the Military to mind control them. Their 1st attempt in controlling Var directly was ay Al Shahal
>>142311097
>>142311102
I straight up posted the screenshot in which Kaname explains that they were the cause of some of the previous Var outbreaks.
>>142311129
No you misenterpretening the line. They arent responsible for all just the powerful ones.
Way to make a leap in logic are you Reddy?
Haha all the Wind haters will hate it when Chaos will help Windermere from being nuked by evil NUNs
Warfags who want to genocide the enemy still missing the point of Macross till now
>>142310894
>They also blew up the planet. I mean, that kind of goes beyond killing soldiers.
They didn't exactly blow it up. They just rained the Earth's surface with particle beams. Like what that anon said uncultured Zentradi have no concept of a civilian and consider anyone as a combatant. They don't follow our conventions of war and and only understand their own. If bombarding the plaent and turning it to a lifeless husk will ensue them victory then they'll do it. They're more amoral that evil.
>Actually according to the manga and side materials, Var has always been around.
Not really. The prequel manga just shows that the Var recently occurred and started affecting gargantuan creatures and made them go berserk 5 years prior to the events of Delta. Delta was the first time Car was used by Windemere and by episode 4 to was refined to mind control.
>>142311176
Exactly. So we know that Windermere caused some of the Var outbreaks before episode one. We also know that episode 4 was the very fisrt case of the infected being under control and coordinating.
Therefore we know that Windermere played around with the var that in outrbeaks that resulted in completely random violence and murder.
Even ignoring that, in the first episode the zentradi who are infected start shooting up a city and one we see attempt to murder about a dozen civilians.

>>142311305
They didnt do that to instill fear. They were doing that to perfect the method of mind control. Now they no longer require mass riots.
Imagine how happy go lucky Bogue will be when he jouns the good guys. I hope his cockiness doesnt go away.
>>142311237
>>142311276
I don't doubt that we will get love and understanding in the end. I just think that they have written characters who don't deserve it.
>>142311359
If that is true it still shows that they had no problem targeting civilians in order to perfect their mind control. My point is that no matter if it ends up being they were tricked by someone else or whatever these are the first Macross bad guys who made the informed decision to attack and kill non combatants for their own political ambitions.
The Zentradi had no concept of what a civilian is.
The protodevlin needed to feed on people to survive.
The Vajra were some kind of alien hive mind or whatever, I can't really remember.
Sharon Apple was an ai.
The Windermerians for all intents and purposes are humans, with penises in their hair. They are able to lament their own suffering but have absolutely no problems inflicting it upon others. That dude with the green shit on his face even had a little cry about losing his family and their orchard and then happily goes along and puts others in the exact same position.
>>142311575
He'll probably be buttflustered the whole time because Freyja likes Hayate and won't like him.
>>142311575
I want to see Walkure and Hayate riling him up and mocking him for not controlling his runes.
>>142311650
Its not like humans have not those things in the name o freedom in our history. Windermere gets flak because they are the most similar. But they are soldiers who will do what they are told. So by your logic even Heinz is as guilty. Doesnt matter if Zenta didnt know any better they still killed people.
>>142311658
Don't bully Bogue!
>>142311865
What? Nothing about my post was bullying him. I was just saying he'll still probably be antagonistic towards Hayate because of Freyja.
>>142311753
It does matter anon because motive is everything. Before every enemy was forgiven because they were made to understand and then saw the error of their ways on their own. These guys understand from the begining.
It is like real life and geopolitics but then the love and understanding bit doesn't work. What happens is that the NUN defeats Windermere, puts the king, Roid and other officials on trial at the space nuremburg trials, hangs them and then occupies the planet forcing them to accept a new way of life which I don't think is how things are going to turn out.
Again I really like the love and understanding when it works. 7 is by far my favourite Macross but it feels weird to throw in realistic enemies with human motives without following through with a realistic and human conclusion.
>>142311922
>be antagonistic towards Hayate because of Freyja.
Because he want to kick her ass but Hayate not let him do or he like her but Freyja like Hayate?
>>142312053
Well see but youll have accept that all the focus on the knightsnto be sympathetic characters.
>>142312073
>Freyja like Hayate
This. He'll be maximum jealous of Hayate.
>>142312053
Still missing the point of Macross. Just wait the king is a friend of Johnson and Arad. Thrers no way Knights will be hanged inaMacross show. Get out now if you dont agree with an ending where Windermere signs a leace treaty and no truly evil guy gets hanged.
>>142312109
Will Bogue go full Bizon?
>>142312253
no he'll just lose everything like usual
To continue regardless if Zents and Vajra didnt know better they still killed a lot of people. Vajra literally bugged out of the galaxy with no reparations to lost lives and survivng Breetai did not answrr for any war crimes he did. Ignorance ahouldnt be an excuse but the message of Macross is forgiveness.
>>142312255
>Zent on the winning side

>>142312287
Protedeviln got of scott free and they knew they were killing people but had to survive.
>>142311650
>that they had no problem targeting civilians in order to perfect their mind control.
I'd like to note that unlike the isolated cases in the beginning of episode 1, we didn't actually see the rogue Vars kill any civilians. Especially once Walkure got on the scene
>>142311650
>The Zentradi had no concept of what a civilian is.
>The protodevlin needed to feed on people to survive.
>The Vajra were some kind of alien hive mind or whatever, I can't really remember
This doesn't change that they killed many people knowingly even if the circumstances were different. Admittedly the only innocent one of those are the Vajra, but they were still nothing but evil space bugs for about 20 episodes
The Manga confirms that Al Shahal was their first test of the Var and they targetted a military garrison.
Bogue is a joke.
>>142312189
No no anon, it is you who are missing the point. Despite already having an understanding of humanity that is the conclusion reached in every other series, the Windermerians targeted and presumabley killed civilians.
Yes they will get a happy ending but it will leave a bad taste because unlike every other Macross bad guy they are very much morally bad people.
>>142312344
see >>142311305
The Var infected zent aims and fires a group of unarmed civlians cowering in fear in the street and would have killed them wihout Mikumo's intervention.
>>142312407
It doesn't change that people died but it does determine the morality of it. It's like comparing a shark killing a surfer to a regular old homicide. The shark had no concept of morality and was unable to evaluate and judge its actions accordlingly. At the end of the day you still have a dead person in each scenario, but only one of the perpetrators is bad.
>>142312053
>What happens is that the NUN defeats Windermere, puts the king, Roid and other officials on trial at the space nuremburg trials, hangs them and then occupies the planet forcing them to accept a new way of life which I don't think is how things are going to turn out.
What the fuck. This would just be repeating what the NUN already did with Windermere. Everything until now, in the episodes and in the manga, has hinted at a very ugly war for them. Not even Freyja defends humans or the NUN in that regard (she instead says that revenge isn't the solution, which it isn't and I wouldn't be surprised if they explore with Windermere's characters how war affects every person differently, so you have those who hold no grudges like Freyja and those who do and seek revenge like the rest).

So, who's the best MC pilot, ignoring Plus MCs, because they're too good:

Its only recently that civilians were exempt from war targets. From most of history civilians dying in wars was par thr course. Windermere probably treats civilian casualties acceptable if it means bloodless conflicts in the future. War is not pretty. Windermere broke a few eggs to make their omelet. Now in their view no more blood needs to be spilled.
>>142312738

This is the ending I think after big bad is dead. Wind King will be house arrest. Heinz is new King. Roid will help to cure Var with NUNs. Remaining Knights go home and apple farm

Basara is not the best pilot just because he had the same stock footage. At no point do we get a true indication of his "skill", just his dodging methods. Do you even remember a significant moment in 7 where we saw him in Fighter or Gerwalk mode even?
I'm sure he's very good but he's not the best.

Only thing we know by the timeline in 2062 there are cases of Var on frontier planets like Planet Pipure. Master Iwan has a Vajra corpse which could explain the source of the Fold Bacteria. The revolution happened in 2060.
Previous to Al Shahal there was no biological fold waves which s why Kaos can't make a connection until the infiltration team's discovery on Voldor.
However all cases on Var with the chemical components by apple and water are Windermere's fault. To distribute it far and wide takes years.
>>142315306
You do know Var Syndrome is a Galaxy wide epidemic?
>>142315388
But doesny mean that Windermere is the cause of the Var just that they studied how it spreads and made a way so you can be more suseptible by accelerating the growth of fold bacteria. They just weaponized the damed thing
>>142315295
Did you read the whole post anon
>>142315306
>However all cases on Var with the chemical components by apple and water are Windermere's fault. To distribute it far and wide takes years.
I don't think they knew that the apples/water combination worked until recently. The Var epidemic itself just starts with the fold bacteria and has been around long before the show started, unrelated to Winderemere.

This >>142315306
>>142315388 shows how.
>>142315773
You are not understanding it. Cases with Seidznole involved are because of Windermere tainting its apples. Windermere apples isn't restricted to military we see it on Voldor being spread among civilians.
I sincerely doubt Windermere is responsible for any Var Outbreak outside the Brisingr cluster

>>142316136
Bit they did not create the epidemic and has existed before Wondermere weaponized it. Thry explain how it spreads but Windermere cannot be responsible for a galaxy wide epidemic. Just having the fold bacteria makes you suseptible. Windermere just developed away so even those arent suseptible have the possibility to getting it to. The epidemic is not Windermeres fault. They only weaponized it.

>>142316246
Ranshe, Sheryl and Ranka all had Fold Bacteria but Var didn't occur then. Closest being rabid Hydra. In Macross 30 there is a cure for Fold Bacteria found in Protoculture ruins I can see immunizations being a vector for humanoids. Seidznole however is linked to Var why hasn't been established until now.
What I don't get is that if the 31's barrier can tank an energy blast from Bogue's Draken, what do a few missiles mean to the bridge of the Elysion.
>>142316912
>31's barrier can tank an energy blast from Bogue's Draken

All of them but Basara.

>>142318653
>Basara has never been shot down
As I said, his "dodging" skills are good. We've never actually seen his actual battle skills. I also question his abilities in a VF since like 90% of the time we just see him in Battroid
>and even Max acknowledged his skill was even better than himself.
If I remember the quote correctly, he said "he could be better"
>>142318653
>and even Max acknowledged his skill was even better than himself.
He said it might be (implying if he tried to fight normally).
>>142318775
>>142318777
Dodging makes up 90% skill of dogfighting, though. He also shoots, you know, how do you think he would transmit his song to the enemies? Even in the game, you need to fire speaker pods for the song to effect enemies.
>he could be better/it might be
Well, duh. If even with his unconventional piloting he got praised, then he should be at the same/near Max level, which other MCs definitely aren't. So clearly he's at the top.
>>142311029
*any anti government fighting force that tries to achieve their objectives by killing civilians and making people afraid instead of forcibly overthrowing government
But yeah the term is often misused for propaganda purposes.
>>142319131
>He also shoots, you know, how do you think he would transmit his song to the enemies?
Shooting speaker pods=! live ammo
Yes of course dodging in important but I am saying we've never seen Basara actually participate in combat or show his abilities beyond what was generally shown in the first episodes, mainly due to all the stock footage. We can get some idea of all the others' piloting skills because they actively were in combat, performed notable maneuvers and/or did some form of high speed missile dodging or something like that. This is why I do not believe Basara is the best pilot because we only ever saw him mainly do one thing, dodge and sing in Battroid.
I need to stress this, we practically never see Basara use anything other than Battroid and he needed an episode to even understand what Gerwalk was.
>>142318775
Not as good as when he was younger correct.
>>142320164
Battroid mode and fighter mode he is pretty good at both. Basara is more of learn by yourself type.

>>142316136
>Cases with Seidznole involved are because of Windermere tainting its apple
They don't taint their apples, it's something natural in their apples, and the water from the ruins. Windermere just discovered the combination and weaponized. There probably were many cases of apples+water induced Var before Windermere realized what was going on and decided to use it as a weapon.
>>142320535
>and fighter mode he is pretty good at both
I really don't think there's any indication he's particularly good at Fighter mode
>>142321096
I think that they ended up not using that concept because it was already in The Ride, and they sort of did a flight school already in Frontier. Also, I remember reading something about how there should be an enemy to fight, which I agree with.

VF-22s Macross Best VF
Can I get away with not watching SDF by watching DYRL instead?
>>142322014
Why watch it at all if you're going to skip the best bits?
>>142322014
DYRL retells most of the story of SDF. While SDF is the "canon" story, SDF is the "canon" look. I put canon in quotes because apparently every Macross Movie/OVA/Show is just a retelling of something that happened in the Macross universe. Or some weird meta shit like that.
>>142322092
>While SDF is the "canon" story
SDF is just a tv show inspired in the "canon" story. Just like DYRL is a movie inspired in the "canon" story.
>>142322092
> While SDF is the "canon" story, SDF is the "canon" look.
Heh.
Anyway, yeah, the take home lesson is that canonicity isn't a big deal in macross. Just enjoy the show. It's like your grandpa retelling stories about WWII or whatever.
There are a few core facets to a story: ship lands on Earth, war starts, aliens subjugated by small half-Chinese girl's siging, best girl wins.
Everything else is filler.
>>142322240

The Macross Cannon expands before discharging.
Am I the only one who thinks Lady M isn't Mikumo. Mikumo's leading them while singing, but she doesn't seem like she's completely in charge of the entire operation.
Is Lady M possibly mylene?
>>142326611
It's Messer crossdressing.
>>142326611
>Am I the only one who thinks Lady M isn't Mikumo
Nope. I think it's fairly obvious that she isn't. Arad, Kaname, and Ernest talked about her in the third person in front of Mikumo when they're the ones who report directly to Lady M. Not to mention the time when Mikumo taunted Freyja in episode 6 and Kaname called her out on it.
>Is Lady M possibly mylene?
Highly doubtful. Mirage would have known and its not in Kawamori to reuse characters from previous series unless its Max and Milia.
>>142322375
>>No one won in SDF
Are you still on about this?
>>142326611
>Am I the only one who thinks Lady M isn't Mikumo
Anybody who still thinks she is is dumb considering we just had an episode where they speak about Lady M with Mikumo still in the fucking room
>>142328132
Well, I guess I was an idiot all along.
>>142313710
I fully support Messer becoming a oniisan
>>142327132
Also Lady M has a certain factor of risk taking that I can't see Mylene doing. If it is a Jenius sister it boils down to somebody who was in the military. It boils down to Komilia, Moaramia or possibly Therese rumored to be Maria Fokina Barnrose leader of Vindirance.

Where does he say he loves Misa? His last line is about how Minmay is out of his league.
>>142329481
Misa and Hikaru are married by the time they all take off in the megaroad 1
>>142329588
Yes, years later, but at the time SDF ended, Hikaru loved Minmay. SDF wasn't a story of Hikaru loving Misa, but Hikaru realizing he couldn't be with Minmay even if he loved her. He just settled down with whatever was available because he couldn't have the woman he loved.
>>142329642
>delusional Minmay cucks, episode 9000
>>142329703
Did you watch the show or did you just watch Robotech? The ending episode wasn't even about Hikaru's feelings for Misa, but his realization he can't quit his life as Minmay wanted him to. Minmay chased after him so he wouldn't pilot because she was afraid he was going to get killed. That was it. She was afraid of be alone if he died.Minmay, in the shelter, realized Hikaru's and Misa's words about their duties to protect people and has an epiphany.
The romance between Misa and Hikaru only bloomed (from his side) after Minmay broke off with him. Up to that point, he was in love with Minmay, not Misa. Minmay recovered her will to sing, so she wasn't into Hikaru anymore. She only leaned on him to run away from her duty and her career, to be a 15 years old again. It wasn't a garbage teenage love triangle about muh feelings. It was far deeper and more realistic.
Hikaru did come to love Misa and marry her, but when SDF ended, he was still in love with Minmay. It wasn't a triangle of winners or losers like typical high school animu.
>>142330370
>Up to that point, he was in love with Minmay, not Misa.
I forgot to add, about this part, Misa realized Hikaru loved Minmay here too, because she asked him if he wasn't going to chase after her and he told her that a girl like Minmay shouldn't be tie down with someone like him. It wasn't "No, because I love you, Misa." It was all about Minmay being out of his reach and he moved on (he did it in episode 27 but the Network was garbage and extended this shit).

>>142329642
Oh look it's more "Minmay did nothing wrong, Hikaru was a loser" posting
>>142331597
>What is it you like the most about Delta? What exactly makes it fun?
I like Macross formula and this show in particular has pretty likeable characters (cute girls, cool guys).
>Who's your favourite character so far and why?
Mikumo. I already had long post about it, but basically because she's kind of like Basara, she takes her singing as seriously as pilots their fighting. BURNING PASSION. And she doesn't make people listen to her song, she LETS them.
>Your opinion on Delta's music? Favourite song?
Outstanding, each song out of 3 on the single is worthy of listening on repeat, lewd lyrics make my heart go dokidoki. Minus - only JUNNA and Minorin are really relevant.
>Your favourite moment so far?
In the first episode when Freyja starts singing in VF's hand, they fly naked in the sky and suddenly get shot down and credits roll, I wanted to see episode 2 so hard.
>What are you looking forward to in Delta?
Everyone including non-idols singing.
>>142331739
The movies are better than the series but the series offers some different context that is intentionally meant to contrast with the movies
>>142331597
>What is it you like the most about Delta? What exactly makes it fun?
Comfy beach planet setting and the music
>Who's your favourite character so far and why?
Mikumo is love, Mikumo is life (they're gonna make her an enemy aren't they?)
>Your opinion on Delta's music? Favourite song?
Really nice. A few sound like homages or blatant copies of popular mainstream songs but I don't really care about that.
Haven't bothered to learn the names of the songs but I'll just say WOW WOW WOWOWOW
>Your favourite moment so far?
Hayate riding the wind to BTFO Bogue in ep8 (I like Bogue though, he just needed taking down a notch)

>>142332312
Actually, I'm changing my answer. This was my fav moment so far.
>>142331597
>What is it you like the most about Delta? What exactly makes it fun?
The characters. I feel that a likable cast is a fun cast and I don't really hate anybody in the protagonists side. Additionally I don't really hate any of the antagonists either, more ambivalent toward them. I also feel that the plot is very much always moving. During 7 and Frontier it felt like the overall plot would stagnate until the time came for big things to happen but so far Delta feels like it's escalating itself. Every episode has some kind of small or big purpose
>Who's your favourite character so far and why?
Freyja because she makes me happy whenever she's on screen
>Your opinion on Delta's music? Favourite song?
It's pretty good. My favorite song is actually Bokura no Senjou, it seems to play at the best times
>Your favourite moment so far?
Hayate schooling the shit out of Bogue
>What are you looking forward to in Delta?
The eventual point when shit gets real
>142331597
>What is it you like the most about Delta? What exactly makes it fun?
The focus on music, and how it connects hearts. Music is a very powerful thing, it's sometimes the only thing people with Alzheimer's remember.
>Who's your favourite character so far and why?
Mikumo! Her aura, and presence is breath taking. I fell in love at first sight, and i'm eager p to find out more about her.
>Your opinion on Delta's music? Favourite song?
It's cute. A lot more idol like songs, sings they are going for the idol group thing. The other 4 girls sing with anime girl voices, which is cute and not really true singing. However JUNNA makes up for that because she is a young, amateur singer still learning. She still has a lot more to learn, but the only girl in the group who can actually hit notes. Not everyone is into music, and know the full details of true singing, but music majors would notices that the others girls crack/mess up on most notes. Surprisingly, Kaname's VA is able to hit better pitches than Freyja's VA.
>Your favourite moment so far?
I'm stuck between two. It's between Freyja singing giraffe blues, or Kaname's role during Bokura no Senjo in episode 9
>What are you looking forward to in Delta?

>>142314597
>Isn't he already better than Mirage? I mean look at dat Battroid dance in episode 6.
No. In their mock battle she murdered him in seconds. Being able to make the batroid dance doesn't really automatically translate to combat skills.

>>142332486

>>142332486

I don't understand how that makes up for it since Minori and Nozomi are in the same position.
>>142331597
>Who's your favourite character so far and why?
Freyja. Because she's young and a bit naive, but full of energy, optimistic and determined. Also cute accent, cute reactions and cute voice.
>Your opinion on Delta's music? Favourite song?
Ikenai > Giraffe Blues > Walkure Attack > ED > OP >>>>> everything else >>>> Silent Hacker
>Your favourite moment so far?
Ep 6 battle. Especially when Freyja stumbles a bit after seeing all the missiles and Mikumo had to step in.

Then again, that was back when he was a shitter who didn't know how to fly.
>>142332653
>I remember that guy that said he doesn't like her "manly" voice and get slightly upset from time to time.
Yeah, people might not like the sound of someones voice, but he can't take the fact away from her that she is actually singing.
Sheryl was my favorite thing in Macross frontier, however singing wise Ranka's VA was better. The sound of May'n singing was stronger than her's but she wasn't pitching notes better.
Basara was great at hitting notes too. The best actual singer of the macross franchise would be Lynn Minmay's VA. Her voice might not be everyone's favorite nor her songs, but damn she hits notes and pitches amazingly. It sucks that she isn't able to do what she once could today, but that's what constantly singing does. It ruins your voice, just like Mariah Carey. However they still love what they are doing, and that's good for them.
Kinda sad though, the thing that you love doings also ruins itself as time goes on. Side note, that's why i'm iffy with the whole fold-wave thing. I definitely thing there is a downside to constantly producing them.
>>142332486
>music majors
>>142332888
But at the current moment JUNNA pitches better. Which is why I said it makes up for it, you can still hear Freyja's slightly more. Her best was solo version of Bokura no Senjo in episode 3, but you could tell giraffe blues was a harder song for her to sing. If you listen closely, you can hear her voice crackling and the end of each pitch.
I don't know if it was because she improved since recording Ikenai borderline at age 14. But the third verse of giri giri was very hard for her, especially the higher octaves. But she seemed to overcome that for the OP song.
Both are amazing, just need more training.
>What are you looking forward to in Delta?
I want RUNE PIKA BEEEEAM to become a thing, like 7's song lasers.
>>142333078
I liked Ranka's VA's singing voice better too.
>Side note, that's why i'm iffy with the whole fold-wave thing. I definitely thing there is a downside to constantly producing them.
Interesting. That could be Mikumo's keikaku.
>>142333053
Yeah but in their final exam, remember he needed a handicap. Mirage capped him multiple times before he got a hit. Now, I'm pretty sure they are more or less a bit more equal but there's still an argument to be made for Mirage being better
>>142333078
>Sheryl was my favorite thing in Macross frontier, however singing wise Ranka's VA was better.
This is wrong
>>142333078
It's a shame that Nakajima doesn't sing anymore.
>>142333605
So in your opinion, someone singing with clear indication of auto-tune is better than someone who sings naturally?
>>142333790
I don't know if you've heard her in concert but May'n does sound generally as smooth and sultry as she does in the songs
>>142333078
I wouldn't say Megumi is a better singer than May'n. Being on pitch is nice but you need a voice that projects emotion and can cut through the mix and May'n definitely did that better.

>>What is it you like the most about Delta? What exactly makes it fun?
The way Kawamori seamlessly blends comedy/whimsy and drama, creating a world that's dangerous but not overly bleak, funny and sweet but not devoid of meaningful tension. I think the best highlight of this is the trio getting captured by the Aerial Knights and Freyja expressing her disagreement in the ridiculous terms of "B-but you're wasting food!" (plus Herman and Bogue's reaction) is a prime example of whimsy lightening a dark mood, and Messer interrupting in "Moonlight Dancing" is a prime example of grimness keeping the whimsy from getting out of control .
>>Who's your favourite character so far and why?
Kaname becauseI'm a woman in my 20s.
>>Your opinion on Delta's music? Favourite song?
It's good, though I don't like it as much as Frontier's right now. That could change after the album comes out and I can put everything on repeat.

Hayate learning dogfight techniques from mercat-sensei.

To be perfectly fair, considering what they were using it for and that Freyja is a commoner herself who knows very well the people who make the fruits, it wasn't really just insane troll logic at work. She of all people in that situation knows how fucked up it is to use apples for war. Cassim's "Muh orchard" nonwithstanding
>>142333969
I did watch many of her live video's and she does generally sound smooth as you stated but he has a hard time producing those producing those pitches, and hitting those notes naturally.
>>142333980
Megumi is the better singer, because singing requires you to be able to produce notes at a set tune. However you are correct that May'n has the ability to produce emotions and cut through the mix. In fact, during Megumi's live performances even though she was on tune, and had good pitch but her face and voice lacked emotion. Something which May'n dominated.
So Megumi would be the better singer, but May'n is a superior performer. Which is why many of my favorite songs from frontier are from Sheryl. But credit should be given where due, and Megumi deserves credit for being a better singer.
>>142331597
>What is it you like the most about Delta? What exactly makes it fun?
I'm a Macrossfag through and through. I just enjoy the general formula of music IS MAGIC + battles + interpersonal drama (in general, not just the triangle).
>Who's your favourite character so far and why?
Bogue because I have shit taste. I like that he's a pompous asshole and yet at the same time just a kid acting like a kid would if he were expected to act like and adult yet didn't have the maturity to do so.
>Your opinion on Delta's music? Favourite song?
Walkure Attack, definetely. But they are all catchy and good.
>Your favourite moment so far?
Episode 6's battle or episode 4's concert.
>What are you looking forward to in Delta?

>>142334349
RAGNA
>>142334614
If you want to quantify singing ability as only replicating tones that's fine, but I would prefer to just call that on pitch. I imagine May'n would be capable of singing more on pitch if she dropped her singing style and sang more naturally, however doing that would affect the other parts of her singing which make it unique.
I'm so glad that Freyja's misunderstanding was played for more humorous than overtly dramatic
>>142335763
Yeah, MISUNDERSTANDING drama is the worst.

messer's latest dogfight. I really like that scene where he was screaming and then followed by that violin intro for the bokura no senjou. I got this tragic vibe from it, it's really great.

>Here’s an anecdote that may make you smile. Hidetaka Tenjin (one of Macross’s mechanical artists from Zero onward) came to a US convention over the weekend and held a panel on Macross and mecha art. The first thing he did after introducing himself was ask how many people had seen Delta. About a third of the room raised their hands. He laughed, clearly happy and amused, and asked “How is that possible!” The audience laughed with him.

">What is it you like the most about Delta? What exactly makes it fun?"
I like that it is delving into Protoculture lore.
Freyja's funny reactions always give me a laugh.
">Who's your favourite character so far and why?"
Freyja and Mikumo.
Freyja is so upbeat that it's hard not to like her!
Mikumo because she's cool and confident but also leaves you curious.
">Your opinion on Delta's music? Favourite song?"
Hard to beat Macross 7's music for me, since I favor rock but I'm still enjoying Delta's music. My fave song is Ikenai Borderline.
">Your favourite moment so far?"
Freyja curing the Var'd kitty pilot on Voldor. It was a good emotional moment.
">What are you looking forward to in Delta?"
Learning more about the Protoculture and finding out if Mikumo has some ulterior motive. I'd also like to see Mirage get some more development since I like the Jenius family.

>>Get to ep 4 only to find out best girl is basically terminally ill
I don't think you're right. She's living her normal lifespan, If she didn't meet humans she wouldn't even consider it that short. I mean, it's not like Zentradi make humans "terminally ill".
>>142302477
but messer and bogue are going to die, right?
>>142339448
Terminally ill was just a comparison, that's why i prefaced it with "basically". She still has a drastically shorter life-span that everyone else around her.I'm not actually dropping it, I just hate the kind of tragedy it's foreshadowing.

Nothing with anybody other than Basara goes anywhere.

Thinking about it rationally, is it not disadvantageous for a 30 years life expectancy snow man to marry someone who lives longer?
>>142341372
Windermereans are isolated from the rest of the galaxy and even if they weren't they probably have been propoganda'd that they are the one true race

>Rape is played for laughs in the teaser for the next episode

I really feel like this was one of the writers getting their jollies, the whole thing just seems out of place and cringy.
>>142341731
I get this strong feeling they didn't want to involve the rest of Fire Bomber in this story at all
>>142341806
Yeah it's really Basara's story, outside of a minor mention we don't really need to know what the rest of the gang is up too. They way the rest of the crew gets pushed to the side and how Mylene is treated in general (not just the rape thing, but her being kind of a screw up in general) seems to me like the writers were kind of forced to include them and took it out on the characters.
Is there anything wrong with starting the Macross franchise with this? I know they're all series that can be watched independently from each other but are there any references to older parts of the franchise or character appearances that would go over my head?
>>142342108
How hard is it to start in production order?
>>142340914
I can imagine tons of doujins of this.
>>142342108
>but are there any references to older parts of the franchise or character appearances that would go over my head?
So far no, the only notable callback is to Max and Milia, but it's explained in the show. Still you should give the older series a watch, SDF is still pretty good, and 7 is a blast if you like rock and the whole "singing as a weapon" thing that Delta does.
>>142342108
You're totally fine going into this naked.
If you want to, watch the older ones in production order.
>>142342108
Honestly if you've started watching anime in the past 5 or so years Delta is probably the one you should start with since it fits the current anime landscape better. I went Frontier -> Zero -> Plus -> 7 -> SDF which is totally out of order, but it wasn't too hard to catch on. You'll miss a few references, but when you watch the older series you'll have some aha moments that you wouldn't if you watched them in order so it evens out.

Ikenai Borderline. Listening to it is almost orgasmic. But you never quite reach it though.

I've heard this mentioned in Macross threads before and II am quite sure that this isn't a thing
There is a trope of protagonists getting kidnapped by the bad guys at one point or another but "crashed on an island" is more of a Sunrise anime thing

>>142344447

>>142344585
They are a PMC which has the word "military" in it
>>142344595
I prefer my understanding through catchy songs and missiles and not "now we are on this island, let's discuss out points of view with a side of sexual tension"
>>142344595
There's no reason why Bogue wouldn't just kill her.
>>142344585
Chaos is future Google, with carriers and state of the art planes.
>>142318010
SO FUCKING DUMB.
>>142344777
Same reason Sunrise characters don't kill their enemy when they're trapped on an island. "We got to escape" and all that.
>>142344732
Don't we all.
>>142344621
Indeed, but if the international (interplanetary?) relations and politics in the Macross universe are anything like our world's, then PMCs and actual state militaries likely fall under different laws, which implies that they would be treated differently in times of conflict.
>>142344777
That will change once Roid issues the capture Freyja alive order.
>>142345086
Judging by Frontier and SMS, they do.
>>142344881
I'm not too familiar with VF tech and Macross overall: are the Siegfrieds really that "state of the art"? I noticed that NUNS seems to operate more outdated models, but is it due to lack of resources or are they behind on tech as well?
>>142345260
If anything like Frontier, the PMCs are given the state of the art VFs to test out for a while before they're adopted by the NUNS.
>>142345260
yes, they say so in the show.
NUNS oerates different models based on how much they can afford shit.
so some backwater like Ragna operates 30 something year old hardware, while richer, more established colonies get the gucci shit.
>>142345086
Well really my point was that they weren't civilians
>>142344777
He can't kill the most important person of his universe.
>>142345865
This isn't going to be a thing. You are going to ship this all the way to the last episode and the only thing you'll get out of it is Bogue continuously trying to kill Freyja

Someone needs to stop me from buying all the Walkures and their corresponding VF-31

After 9 episodes it kinda bugs me a bit that Delta squadron hasn't used missiles at all in combat. Only Alpha and Beta squadrons were shown to to use them in episode 6. Does that mean the bays for Walkure's drones are also for missiles? If it is then why didn't they add them at the times when Walkure were performing at their ship? unless Delta's VF-31s are customized not to not hold missiles at all.Inb4 autist Basara "Don't shoot missiles, they're stupid" meme.
>>142346698
They really are stupid though they don't do shit against anyone important.

But isn't the name of episode 11 Jellyfish Reminiscences or something like that? I thought that would be the one for the festival.

If Messer and Kaname do that at the festival then yeah, the death flag would be gigantic for one or both of them.

I'm more worry about the quality since this time they can't even list the staff other than the script.

We new a thread. This one is going under soon.
>>142348599
Fish Human when?
>>142349555
We don't need a new thread until this one actually does go under.
>>142348599
my god, the way it sounds like a light hearted makes me doubt it even more. no preview scene from the official site but judging from the one at ep 9, it looks like it's gonna be another messer episode.

We don't. So what if the thread is on page 10? You can still write posts if a thread is on page 10.
>>142349714
the title is more of a hint of that, than anything
>>142349179
it could be a set up, this episode might be a "night before the big battle" episode. in any case, if he confess it's gonna be a deathflag for sure.

AXIA is a song about love ......
Is Messer going to use Freyja's living method?
Dam that he really might bite the dust in the 12ep. "King of the Wind".

Messer even without Jellyfish is bound to Kaname forever through Var syndrome.
Mirage is watching a confession (even her ears are red).

She didn't want Hikaru, she wanted to return to the time she was a child without facing tough decisions. It wasn't about love. If was about love, Hikaru would have tried to make it work with Minmay because he loved her more than he loved Misa. It was Hikaru realizing he couldn't be with her and for her own sake, he had to move on. All she did was use him as a crutch when she was depressed and lost. She got over him in five seconds.
