>Our super Big Bang will breathe life into a new genesis
What could this possibly mean?
>>144083897
Where is mirage??????
>>144083964
Who?
I'm tired of all those faggots who don't understand that Delta will end with UNDERSTANDING.
This is is how it's going to be:
In the end Chaos is fighting against Windermerians near their home planet. During the fight Hayate suddenly realizes that Windies are not the real enemies and that they are just misguided victims manipulated by Epsilon and NUNS. So he dances in his VF trying to show that humans want no harm. At the same time combined NUNS and Chaos fleet folds in and fires dozens of Dimensional Eaters to completely annihilate Windermere. Hayate turns to Mirage and Freyja and says:
"Mirage, I can't give you the answer you hoped for".
"Freyja. This might be coming a little late, but I..."
Winderemrians understand that humans are actually good. Right before DE bombs hit them the whole planet (together with Hayate) folds the fuck out of our galaxy to never be seen again.
After singing too much during the battle Freyja falls into coma.
15 years later Hayate returns from another galaxy on a comet and wakes up Freyja. But turns out Freyja is already 30 and she dies few days later because of old age.
Pure UNDERSTANDING.
>>144083897
I'm just as puzzled as you man. I would say an HayaFre understanding ending and leading into new times of piece but Miragefags will throw their loserflags images at me and say the past 15 episode of Delta have been a lie.
>>144084013
>Cringe : the post
>>144084013
>Windfag delusions
It will end in understanding after Roid, Keith and their giant spaceship gets blown to ribbons and Freyja sings to stop the fighting in the most forced scenario possible with Heinz telling every survivor to stand down.
>>144084004
OP's picture have no mirage in it
>>144084131
>Keith, dead
I only see one delusion here, and it's yours. Kawamori won't kill Heinz's only family.
This episode made crystal clear than sooner or later Keith is going to go against Roid.
Please don't bully Mirage, she already has it rough with her vague feeling for Hayate and that girl who keeps cockblocking her.
>>144083897
Kawamori was being somewhat subtle when using the last song for an OP, but this didn't even hide it.
Walkure are full blown lewd
>>144084013
Epilogue: Hayate ends up with Arad bc through it all, homie had his back.
>>144084131
You probably don't understand the size of the galaxy and how scattered stars are. If you fold to a random point in another galaxy chances to appear near some star is basically 0. So Windermere would freeze without any source of heat. This is the true good ending.
>>144084372
>Fucks off in half the fights
>had his back
>>144083964
Mirage appears before them. When Hayate and Freyja appear she gasps (shocking, I know) and disappears. Hayate and Freyja are left facing each other while looking up at the sky, with their fold waves resonating behind them while the lyrics imply that they will lead the Galaxy into new peaceful times.
Very confusing stuff. Clearly baiting. Doesn't apply to the story at all. Kawamori does it again.
>>144083897
Ask Mikumo
>>144084162
Don't, my friend. Picture dumps aren't for /a/.At least do it when the thread hits post limit And reach page 10
>>144084487
ISIS and NUNS guy have the most unsubtle character design of the whole franchise. What were they thinking?
>>144084497
The whole opening is made of reused footage. They just understood that they have not a single shot of Mirage and Hayate looking on each other. We had one hug in episode 13, but unfortunately Mirage was wearing a helmet.
>>144084509
alright.don't think i'd manage to get through half of it when the thread begins to autosage
>>144084487
Continuation to the Epilogue: Hayate and Arad break up because a Hayate realizes Arad never really had his back. Feeling broken and devastated he turns to Chuck for comfort.
>>144084608
You do know that they don't have a shot of Hayate and Freyja looking at each other either? That op shot of them is photoshopped images of Freyja and Hayate looking up at different times in different scenes in different episodes.
They could've literally taken a scene of Mirage looking up and photoshopped her in. Stop deluding yourself.
If the animators had wanted Mirage to be relevant they would of already had done it by now or at least photoshopped it in.
>>144084602
Inb4 they are in cahoots.
>>144083964
Literally W H O?
>>144083964
I'm sorry, who?
>>144084831
At least they got close enough several times.
>>144085019
One things for sure. Hayate has no problem with getting all up in Freyja's space.
Last episode has Hayate wake up in a hospital bed. Bandages wrapped around his head to indicate head injury. He's in a hospital bed. He tries to get up, but quickly gets dizzy and finds he doesn't have the strength. "Hayate!" The familiar sound of Freyja shouting his name. "Easy there pal, you've been out for a few days now, don't try to rush it" It's Arad. Chuck is there too, but is silent.
He had been knocked out after taking a harsh landing. But they had won. The war had ended, and though there had been losses on both sides, disaster had been averted. The galaxy was safe. When asking where Mirage was, everyone had just looked at him questioningly "Who's that?" Turns out that during his days out cold, he'd relived most of the events since he joined Delta squad, and that in his dreams he had creature a character that was never actually there.She had just been a Mirage all along
>>144085220
Okay, I laughed
But still, rude.
>>144085220
The salt and tears will be glorious once Freyja loses horribly.
>>144085220

>>144085381
she gets shit on by the writers, its not our fault
>>144085449
fuck off miragefag
Summary of the triangle, every single episode ever
Hayate: Freyja!
Freyja: Hayate!
Mirage: Hayate!
>>144085617
>Hayate and Freyja from a bond
>Mirage screams DELTA FOUR
fixed that for you
>>144085220
But that would make Mirage best girl
>>144085691
>she is not real
>best girl
how?
>>144084370
They've always been full blown lewd. Have you seen the lyrics for Ikenai Borderline?
>体は制御不能 いっちゃうかもね
>>144085788
2D is imaginary and superior to 3D
>>144085220
Is this a reference to something? Because it sounds great, I want to watch it.
>>144085663
>from a bond
>being buffed remotely is forming bonds now
>>144084364
>don't bully Mirage,
Freyjafags may be laughing at her now but she'll have the final laugh in the end and in a decade we'll all remember how Freyja choked and said Freyjafags would be claiming that Delta is the worst Macross show of all time
The Windermere crater seems disappointingly small. It's not even as big as the Hiroshima atomic bomb area of effect. Seems like a pretty petty thing to get hung up about when they have an entire planet that was untouched. Would be different if the NUNS had firebombed entire cities to the ground or something but it's just that crater they're so butthurt by.
Let me ask a very fair question. What has Mirage done successfully to deserve to win the hayatebowl?
>>144086034
The show gave us the miracle of the universe that is Freyja. There's no way it could be the worst show of all time even Mirage pulling a victory from nowhere would be pretty poor writing. But my point is, win or lose for Freyja, the winners are clearly us the viewers, because we got to have a show with Freyja in it.
>>144085904
It's called resonating with each other. Remind me again how is it that Mirage has a connection to Hayate or how she inspires him?
>>144086179
She has cute elf ears
>>144086115
We never had a proper reference to determine crater's size. It could be hundreds kilometers in radius.
>>144086115
A nuke is still a nuke even if the nuke blasted an entire city instead of an entire state
>>144086198
Too bad that she is that weird imouto souvenir from hayate dad,
>>144085904
lrn2waves and shit
still more than a bond that whatever words he crossed with Mirage
>>144086034
nice delusion
>>144086179
Literally nothing
>>144086115
Millions of people die, it must be huge.
>>144086198
>rubbing her rune against Hayate's face
>"Hayate, you pervert"
What a slut.
>>144086795
Too bad that Hayate's dad meeting Freyja is basically a flag of Hayate and Freyja being bonded by the circumstances.
Try again, anon.
>>144086115
Didn't it fuck with the ecosystem of the planet and the '''''''winds''''''?
>>144087050
Maybe they should have looked into terraforming instead of mind control
>>144087050
No one knows. They intentionally do not reveal anything so we can have all these NUNS vs WInd wars.
>>144087139
Nips don't have NUNSfags, do they? So Kawamori will never be aware of these wars and the hell he has put us Western fans through.
>>144084261
>I only see one delusion here, and it's yours. Kawamori won't kill Heinz's only family.
Ehhh, I kind of can see Keith dying in a noble sacrifice kind of way. Sort of like Brera in the second movie
>>144086115
Didn't they say it was an entire city?
>>144083897
They are gonna fug.
>>144085220
Mind: Blown.
>>144087773
I'd feel really bad for Heinz in that case, unless Walküre adopt him.
>>144087604
>Cute Hoina belly.
Ugh, my heartboner.
>>144084261
>I only see one delusion here, and it's yours. Kawamori won't kill Heinz's only family.
A noble sacrifice is possible
So have we gotten sluttier than Sheryl songs or what?
>>144084261
Yeah, out of the Windy triangle I'm betting the most on Keith to survive till the end.
Roid's most likely to die in my book, after he's betrayed by third party / his plan goes belly up.
Heinz could go either way at this point, but if he does die then that will certainly set up a Keith vs Roid / Keith joins Chaos scenario.
>>144088112
that itty bitty hoina titty don't hurt none either.
>>144088634
If Heinz dies i can see Keith mellowing out after losing the only family he has and regretting pushing Heinz away even if Heinz wanted to be closer. He may express self-destructive behavior after that though.
I kinda want Roid to live though. I like him.
>>144088634
I can't see Heinz dead since he seems the most suitable to bring peace and rule peacefully Windermere. Someone is going to die between Roid and Keith. Frankly Roid is more needed to help to rule Windermere than Keith.
>>144088745
If Heinz dies then Keith would go bonkers.
>>144088852
Roid is everything wrong with Windermere. He's a terrible ruler.
>>144088745
>>144088896
>Keith self destructing / going bonkers
Very possible, unless with his dying words Heinz pulls a 'LIVE FOR ME / WINDEREMERE / TO SPREAD YOUR BEAUTIFUL WIND' to encourage him to keep going.
I feel the way Roid's heading that a remorseful death is the only way he can be redeemed at this point.
>>144088852
>Roid is more needed to help to rule Windermere than Keith
Not really. In the manga Roid points out that Keith's "wind" has something that makes people like him and follow him when Keith tells him about Bogue's admiration. He's just not interested in ruling.
>>144088644
Makes me all gorigori inside, fampai.
>>144088634
Kawas isn't going to kill a literal child
>>144088852
>Frankly Roid is more needed to help to rule Windermere than Keith.
Roid is the one going THIS WAR'S A HOLY WAR, WIND MUST DOMINATE GALAXY. This isn't the kind of person who should be ruling anything.
NUNS do have drones in Macross frontier right? Why not just deploy it against Windermere?
>>144088852
>>144089003
>>144089139
Right now Keith's really the only one who wants the best for 'Windermere'. Plus he's got the whole good / beautiful wind thing going on.
Heinz just being bossed around by the wishes of others (Gramia, Roid ect)
Roid "had" the best intentions in mind, but now he's going off the deep end with galatic conquering schemes / protoculture propoganda and is sure to screw Windermere over in the long run.
If both Roid and Heinz don't make it till the end and Keith does, I do see him taking over the throne to try to lead Windermere back on track.
If Heinz does survive and Roid doesn't, I see Keith taking over the role Roid has now re' guiding Heinz. They'll finally be acutal brothers now as well.
>>144089183
They should ask Luca to share his apostle ghosts tech.
If Keith dies Heinz will go mad with grief, his song will be unstoppable.
>>144089441
>Grieving Heinz' song physically hurts those that aren't affected by Var. Drains his own life like a fuckin crazy syphon.
That shit would be hardcore.
Why don't the NUNS just sling some asteroids as Windermere at like 0.1c or something?
>>144089183
They're probably still pretty afraid of rampaging robots after Plus, and the fleet of insane cyborgs in Frontier might've not helped either.
>>144089188
Same. And I still can't figure Roid out. Keith's manga and all his merch make me think that we are supposed to sympathize with him, but out of all the windies he's the one I sympathize with the least. I still like him, though. He's a good character because I can't really figure out his intentions, although in the end I think Roid may really have in mind what in his opinion is best for Windermere, except his ambition is making him go stray. Hopefully we'll get his and Keith's backstory (I have the feeling that they will cover theirs and maybe Bogue's).
>>144089225
They should manufacture more X9-Ghost though. But hey, do you think riding the wind makes a pilot easier to predict the X9-Ghost moves and patterns?
>>144089514
So does that mean that NUNS no longer stand a chance against Windermere at all?
>>144089621
Wind-sense seems to just be the flying vectors so probably.
Unless Ghosts can just violate the laws of physics with their trajectories there should be np.
>>144089743
Because as we can see from Plus, the X9-Ghost cruise in extremely high speed. Even the experimental valkyrie Guld pilots couldn't even catch up and he has to release the limiter which cause his life.
We're not dead yet!
>>144090021
But you are, messer, along with Kaname's relevance too.
>>144090021
Messah getting the Jin/Mikhail treatment seems more and more likely as fanart keeps getting churned out.
>>144090021
Messer you're a jellyfish now. Give up.
>>144090124
His death is more like Fokker's.
Alto vs Keith, who will win??
>>144090124
who's this Jin?
>>144089183
>NUNS do have drones in Macross frontier right
They explicitly do not.
Luca and Brera were the only ones with Ghosts
>>144089523
Roid probably thinks what he's doing is right. He's not a megalomaniac. He's just also incredibly wrong and will probably make himself into the villain unknowlingly
>>144090316
Jin from Aquarion Evol. His quick relationship with the token loli in that show was the biggest ship. Jin also died early in the show but the pairing still got the most fanart
>>144090469
Right. Never watched any aquarion because far too many complains about the pairings in it.
>>144090166
Definitely, but the point that Messer has in common with the other two is how a lot of people seem to like his romantic relationship (real or perceived, whatever) in the series.
>>144090511
Kaname a cute
>>144090536
I think the MesaKana fanart amount may even eclipse that of the HayaFre fanart
>>144090309
Keith lost to Hayate with barely a powerup. Alto would one shot him and not even remember the fight.
>>144090361
The do though, from episode 1 (14:18) of frontier when the drones got jammed by the Vajra interference and ended up destroyed.
>>144090715
I haven't checked, but that dedicated HayaFre artist sure isn't letting that happen easily.
You guys are bullying Mirage now, but just wait till Freyja sacrifices herself to save the universe, then guess who's gonna get Hayate's dick in the end?
>>144090910
Mikumo

>windies believe in their protoculture heritage
>mirage is weighted down by her grandparents
>frejya is weighted down by her race
>hayate will be weighted down by the past of his father
IT'S ALL IN HERITAGE
I wonder what is happening in Kawamoris' mind.
>>144090910

What's with the hype of the new Mikumo figure?
>>144091647
It's a japanese thing

>>144090910

>>144092186
His previous Siegfried already died and is now cucking Messer with his ShiniSiegfried. Only time will tell if he fully cucks Messer by claiming Kaname.
>>144090910
>saying that Mirage will ride Hayate's dick after Freyja dies
And here we have another post of how Mirage can only win with Freyja out of the picture
Also. Why don't any of you Miragefags answer when we ask for reasons why Mirage will win without bringing Freyja up/past loser flags/or Freyja dying?
It's almost like you all... Poof!.... disappear
This character scares me. I don't understand her at all. It's like a guessing game. A secondary character, with main character hype. Somehow it feels as though she is the plot, but everything is happening around her and not directly towards her. I'm scared, I don't know what to expect this. They can literally use this character and destroy the entire Macross Universe if they wanted to. I have a feeling it won't end at the last episode either, she will have the last few lines of the show leaving the audience hanging.
>Then two movies will come after a year
>>144092412
Will she end up saving the world or destroying it?
>>144092586
Shinpi is a good person. She'll end up sacrificing herself to save the human race.
>>144092412
Shinpi is the true Bird Human!
>>144092412
Shinpi is Sara's distant relative
>>144092586
I-is she the Macross universe Mazinger?!
>>144092586
>>144092412
You know what I have noticed. Mikumo's eyes. At first I thought it was animation technique but while re-watching I noticed it only applies to her. There are numerous instances when they focus on Kumo's eyes, and whenever they do the animation quality significantly jumps. She is the only character that recives this animation quality jump increase, and heavy focus on eyes.
Are we missing something obvious? I have a feeling its in plain sight like the apples, but I can't just figure out what. I wonder if it has something to do with Zero, 7, or Plus.
>>144092412
Why does the word shinpi sound lewd?
>>144092892
Interesting point, can further elaborate?
>>144090124
It's weird how Messer became really popular but there's literally 0 merchandise of him, did Jin and Mikhail get merchandise when their respective series were airing?
You know what would be crazy, if Hermann lived through all this. Like Ozma
>>144093194
Jin no, but if I remember correctly, they made a special ending for Evol where he possesses Yunoha's frog toy
>>144093210
If Hermann doesnt survive and see his second grandkid, i riot.
>>144093194
I don't remember. But since Messer dies so soon I can sort of understand why they wouldn't push him in merch. Maybe he will get some once the series has ended.
>>144093194
Not Jin, but Mikhail lived long enough for his Valk to get a release.
>>144093617
Messer's Valk is getting released. They just saved it for late because that would spoil it's actually Hayate's Valk
Blurays have english subs. You filthy gaijins has no excuse not to buy them if you have the money and enjoy it.
Mirage will marry Hayate after Freyja dies and raise Freyja's daughter. It would be a happy end for all.
>>144093760
>doesn't get the girl
>doesn't get the valk
>gets space ebola
Messer had a hard life
>>144093834
I didn't even let lack of subs stop me from getting the Frontier ones. Subs, though I don't personally need, made Delta a nobrainer, because I can actually show it to people who can get what's going on.
>>144092907
Do not deny her shinpi-ness.
>>144093968
>imagine Mirage trying desperately to extract every single drop of Hayate's semen every night but can't get pregnant.
>>144093319
Didn't know that, that's kinda creepy.
>>144093617
Well, Messer's mecha collection model will release in october after the series is over, and I assume they'll make a 1/72 version too, hopefully they won't replace Messer's image on the box with Hayate now that the valk is his lol
>>144093055
Those eyes. Plus there are a ton more
>>144093981
At least he's getting the fanart. So there might be hope for him in future works of Delta.
>>144094132
Mikumo is my eyefu
>>144094132
She's Protoculture, and she's being a mostly-passive observer of how her children have grown and spread.
>>144092907
It's aa mystery
>>144093760
I know I'm getting Messah's valk and Kaname's figure rise base. And finding a way to play AXIA with the press of a button on the base.
>>144094217
He would kind of be in the way for Hayate to progress.
>>144094132
Eyes are shinpi
>>144094353
So leave him seriously injured and have Kanamers nurse him to health. Shippers win. Hayate gets to be the leader, and SHIROKISHI gets his SHINIGAMI for the final battle.
Everyone would be happy.
>>144093834
I'd buy them if they weren't ludicrously expensive.
If they make a movie, I'll buy that though
>>144094353
True, he died in a very Fokker kind of way in that his death needed to happen but that doesn't mean he has to be kill. He can be permanently taken out or put in a coma. Imagine a reverse of episode 13 where in the final battle, Messer wakes up and flies in on Hayate's VF
>>144094509
>Messer in hospital bed, lots of bandages and shit. Kaname at the side of the bed, peeling an apple for him.
You now hear Kaname say:"Hai. Aaaan"
in your heads.
>>144090536
So Fokker x Claudia isnt popular? :(
>>144094600
Dubs of reasonable cop out.
>>144094640
I just wanted the two of them to live happily ever after. Was that too much to ask?;_;
>>144094686
You know it isn't, anon. It's heartwarming but nobody remembers Roy for loving. They remember him for dying.
>>144094353
Mikhail's death in Frontier also was important, it prompted Klan to tell Alto about Sheryl's illness and that made Alto decide to stay with the fleet rather than going with SMS, but none of that mattered for the movies because the second movie changed the story altogether, so they could do something similar and find a way around it.
>>144094748
The happy romance of SDF was Max and Millia anyway
>>144093968
That's not a happy end for Mirage, faggot
>>144093968
What happens if a human and a Windermere have a kid anyway? How long would it live?
>>144089703
One Macross fucked up the windermere flagship.
>>144094640

>>144094715
Then pray Messer's popularity doesn't fade away soon, that's the only hope.
If messah can perform such skills, Hikaru can too.
>>144094640
Ow my penis
>>144094686
All people remember about Roy was that he was a badass pilot
>>144095131
And that he was Hikaru's bro/senpai.

>They're souls are bound to gravity.
Obviously they never realized what spacenoids could become.
>>144092352
Pity they edited that out of the DYRL blurays.
>>144094987
Imagine all the potential that this shipping had... It could overshadow the love triangle of the main characters
>>144095277
If the main triangle didn't have Freyja it'd overshadow it. But being fair, what exploded its popularity was precisely Messah's death.
>>144094818
DYRL is a happy Hikaru and Misa end for sure. SDF, it's a little more ambiguous because it felt like Hikaru just gave up
>>144095277
I think it got popular because he died. The ship really only started in the episode previous when they found out that he had Var and Kaname calmed him down
>>144094970
I always assumed it'd do a half and half play on the lifespan.
Average Windermere lives 30 years.
Average human lives 80 years in japan
80 + 30= 110/2= 55yrs. For a half windermere/half human
As for the the rune and feeling the wind I think they'd keep that but would lose their superior human strength.
>>144095875
A fair bit of the fanart goes for the whole tragic angle as well
>>144096036
This. Gotta admit that most people love it because it's tragic.
I wonder how will the most militant artists react if Arad and Kaname become an item.
>>144096102
They might just avoid it
I still can't imagine Messer having a normal conversation with Kaname. There's a nice unrequited love angle, but would there be any chemistry if they got together?
>>144096181
It'd have to be this kind of love where they communicate without talking a lot, and assuming Kaname is fine with a mostly silent, warm relationship instead of fireworks.
It's mostly about the tragedy because Messer likes Kaname just because her song saved him and Kaname probably just likes him as a good friend. Him surviving might had been the catalyst for Kaname noticing him, actually.
>>144085483
I want him to GORIGORI me.
>>144086115
Scarfell was formerly known as the town of Carlisle and the location of the NUNS base.
It wouldn't make sense for NUNS to blow up their base making them lose the war.
>>144096642
I-is she gonna claim Messah's cherry?!
>>144096740
Messah ain't a virgin.
>>144096181
Well, they actually had a normal conversation the day of the jellyfish festival, when they are talking about what he'll do in his new position.
I mean it's not like Messer is completely emotionless, he acts like that precisely to not get closer to people he works with because of the Var (unlike with Chuck's little siblings with whom he apparently had a good relationship), that's why even though he liked Kaname he never tried to get closer to her and refused any oportunity to do so until the very last day when he thought he was leaving.

>>144096772
Lies and slander! He's as pure as driven snow!
>>144096740
The setting is that they've been fugging a while. Messer's all gloom gloom talk, while Kaname strips and he's like "What you doing?" And she's like "Well even if you always do the gloom talk, we always end up fugging, so I figured I'd get ready"
I figured this was an amusing take on how their conversations would go from the opinion of a shipper
>>144096865
That's kawaii, nigga. Thanks.
>>144095353
it starting to get popular after it's been revealed that kaname was the one the saved messer in alfheim and messer is practically white knighting kaname by joining delta platoon with his whole "it's just my mission" as a facade.
>>144096920
Yeah, but if it had remained like that it wouldn't be as popular as now that they asploded Messer.
>>144084364

Inside Hayate's heart.
I want to see an arm wrestling match between Ernest and Freyja. We all know Freyja is supposed to be strong af because she's a Windie. Can you imagine, Ernest getting his ass royally done in by a 15 year old girl while she smiles and yells GORI GORIIIIIIII as she slams his hand onto the table
MAKE IT HAPPEN KAWA-KAWA
You know what Delta is lacking? Hairstyles. So many characters with long hair and most of them always wear the same hairstyle. Imagine braid Mirage, twintails Freyja or ponytail Keith.
>>144097309
I didn't realize Reina was a zent. But it makes sense.
>>144097482
They concentrated all hairstyling effort into Mikumo
>>144089183
They're known for being shit without human controllers.

You know, they should change their hairstyles every now and then. I agree

Thank you!
So basically the two most popular characters on /a/ is Freyja and Mikumo?
>>144100313
Yes. Girl popularity in /a/ is like this
1. Freyja
2. Mikumo
3. Kaname
4. Heinz
5. Mirage
>>144100313
That would be a fair analysis
>>144083897

at least that miragefag won't be able to use freyja is the middle girl pic to shitpost anymore

>>144100313
Freyja and Mikumo were always the most popular girls.

let's settle this
http://www.strawpoll.me/10733907
>>144094132Whose eyes are those eyes?
Shirokishi...!!
Did any of you guys notice that in the ED after Hayate and Freyja disappear, Mirage appears waving goodbye?
It stood out to me because Hayate and Freyja's drawing don't really have a particular action. They're just there smiling and stuff.
>>144101396
Giri giri always and forever
>>144100313
Probably since the beginning honestly
OK. So how about Gori Gori vs Hoina Hoina?
>>144090910
elysion?
So even if Delta never gets as high as Frontier disc-wise (since that was pretty much impossible from the start), it can't be denied Walkure as a group is a success right?
Is Heinz's song on the OST?
>>144094132
my favorite Mikumo face was her shocked expression in episode 13. Those lashes, they're forever burned into my memory
>>144101875
The regular OST yes
I hope Roid dies horribly.
>>144101694
People stopped shitting on the music when the numbers came out so they took the opportunity to shit on the new op.
>>144101694
Does anyone have a list of the first week sales of frontier album and singles? You guys are underestimating Kawamori. The ending and climax of this series will blow us all away.

1st wk Overall

56,455 123,900 Lion
This would put Ichido Dake right in the middle with first week being 35,839 and is currently at 58,899
Now according to this
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-06-10/1st-anime-album-in-11-years-to-rank-in-japan-top-3
The first Frontier OST, Nyan Fro debuted at 72k. Walkure Attack's first week is at 77,527
>>144103348
Ichido Dake is out of the question now, since all those songs are on the new album. But its safe to say that once Delta explodes like Frontier did towards the end CD sales may eventually surpass Frontier.
>>144103482
I wouldn't put it past Delta to overcome Frontier sales. IMO Walkure songs have more substance than the ones in Frontier.
I don't think OP2 will do as good as OP1 though. And I don't even dislike the song, it's just sort of too mellow to do much better than Ichido Dake
>>144103348
that "overall" is after how many weeks anyway?
>>144104044
that was my thought too. It's an alright song, but not a very good OP song to come after the high octane Ichido Dake, doesn't get your heart pumping the same way. They should have saved Absolute Zero for an insert song or something.
How do we fix Mirage?
>>144104044
How well it's going to do will pin on the new song next week.
Also why didn't they bother making at least some new animation for the new op? It's a retarded move to do something like that for a series that is supposed to sell its music.
>>144104268
Mirage is fine just how she is. She just needs more focus.
>>144104268
You don't fix what is not broken
Give the loser all the money and merchandise
>>144104268
She's alright, she just needs more focus. Right now this is barely a love triangle since the only pair that's been developed so far is Hayate and Freyja. Maybe if Lady M is related to her, she'll be in the spotlight for an episode.
>>144104434
She was in the spotlight for episode a week ago
She is the woman in the triangle (hence all the fanservice moments) while Freyja is in the imoutozone
>>144104268
Mirage is fine as a person. I've said before but I think Delta is the first triangle where I felt both girls were good. Her problem isn't really hers, it's just lack of screentime
>>144104538
>hence all the fanservice moments
All the fanservice moments? The closest thing to fanservice was last week which didn't even involve nudity or blushing from the MCs part and Mikumo getting out of the shower
>while Freyja is in the imoutozone
>implying Mirage isn't in the noble confidantzone

Clearly you need to watch the anime again. Now you just seem delusional. How delusional do you have to be to try to twist the whole anime to fit your needs?

Now you and I both know that's not true by any stretch.
>>144105393
Neither has a Zent winning
Whichever wins, it's a first time for anything
It's fine if you want Mirage to win. But please actually make compelling arguments on why she will win instead of pulling shit out of your ass.
I'm so tired that everything goes back to Freyja having to be out of the picture or "past Macross series was like this so Delta will be the same". Show proof on all of these connections and moments and special feelings and maybe then we'll actually take you seriously.
>>144105393
Shh don't remind Freyjafags
>>144105393
And there go the Miragefags again relying on "past Macross series". Give me a real argument on why Mirage will win. Come on.
We're all eager to see it.
>>144098713
100 year old Hayate meeting his great great great great great grand daughter who calls him a monster because he is living so long, or some other shit.
You know when you really think about it, did Ranka ever have a chance?
>>144105191
Because he totally enjoys fighting and doesn't want to protect Freyja at all, right?
>>144105771
Not really, no.
>>144105771
It was over early on
In this show they try to put the loser over to give the viewers the sense of illusion that she's winning when she's the stereotypical Macross loser heroine
>>144101446
Shinigami...
>>144101450
It just a character design.
>>144105851
It's useless trying to talk to them. Ask them to give you a good argument on why Mirage should win and suddenly they go silent. They have nothing going for them except their shitposts and past Macross references even though Kawamori has said nothing will be the same as past Macross series.
I say we don't even answer them anymore. Just gives them fuel and feeds their delusion that Mirage will win.
>>144105431
A Zent is more likely to win than a youngling with a short lifespan.
>>144106046
It's because she has the short lifespan that is just one reason I think she has the best chance of winning
Moving on to a better topic. I'm excited for episode 16. Hayate will be angsting big time. I wonder if Arad will finally spill the T on Hayate's dad.
Oh God, Kawamori, please just don't turn Hayate into a brooding angst teenage protagonist for the next few episodes.
>>144105942
I'm bringing it up because I wanted to say "You know at least during Frontier, I could see why you would have people thinking Ranka could win because _____" but then I'm going through the middle of the series, where we are now, and it's like, fucking nothing man. Maybe weekly this was different even going episode by episode, the show is barely giving me anything to work with that Sheryl doesn't pull ahead of Ranka in any form. Heck, ED2 doesn't even have Ranka in it, it's just a bunch of Sheryl lineart (even one arranged that it's kissing Alto)
Even in 7, midway through that series, it was clear Basara was liking no one and Mylene was a complete lost cause.
>>144106127
>Hikaru birthday episode: Loses his chance to hang out with Minmay
>Alto birthday episode: Seikan Hikou

You do realize he keeps repeating that same shit every time a new Macross show airs and the entire show ends up the same
>>144106046
You're new to anime shipping aren't you? The more tradgedy/complications a ship has, the more likely it is to be canon. Japan thrives on those type of love stories.
>>144106134
I am a Rankafag and I never understood how people could interpret Ranka's crush as anything more than puppy love.
Shipping shit-flinging is always so stupid, though.
>>144106177
Freyja will give him a pity fuck.
>>144106189
Except this time all past tropes are producing different results.
>>144106189
>You do realize he keeps repeating that same shit every time a new Macross show airs
When did he say that about Frontier?
And in regards to Delta, he was specifically noting why the triangle in the logo is not connected, but broken. On that note, what he specifically said was that "The three aspects of Macross will not come together the same as before" so there is a clear design choice going forward for how the story will play out.
>>144106177
It socks to be Hayate.
Happy 18th birthday! BTW your father could possibly be a mass murderer! Here, have some cake.
>>144106134
In Frontier Ranka and Sheryl were the two moneymakers, therefore it makes sense for a little tug of war (remember Sheryl's role was diminished for a bit midway to give way for Ranka but its literally ogre by that beach episode)
In Delta Freyja is only the moneymaker while Mikumo and the rest serve as additional backdrops, can you imagine if they kicked her around like they did with Ranka? No one would buy her shit and Delta wouldn't sell and they would be forced to push and uplift Mikumo at the expense of Mirage who will only be making plastic toy plane money
>>144106276
>all past tropes are producing different results.
Not true in the slightest
>>144106303
Not to mention that in that interview he specifically stated that Hayate and Freyja were the core characters and their relationship was key.
>>144104044
Yeah, but it tagged along with ED2 and other good song so maybe it will do well.
>>144106366
It was kind of obvious that Ranma was never going to win (I'm team no one bc I find the Frontier triangle to be a joke). You had Sheryl flirting with Alto and Alto going out of his way to seek Sheryl and blushing like a Virgin. Sadly Ranma got the short end of the stick and her sales ended up suffering bc of it.
In Delta it's a whole different story. Here what they're selling is Walkure, with Freyja as the anime female MC so it's obvious they're going to give her the "winning" streak and spotlight. Whether she gets her romantic ending or not (Hayate chooses sky ending) she'll still have the spotlight, the most development, the best sales and the fan favoritism. People might get angry but Delta is pure Freyja propaganda through and through. That's the main reason why Mirage isn't getting any development and is continuously getting shit on. It's because she's not the face of Delta and Mirage looking bad/being disliked doesn't affect Delta sales.
That's just how Macross works.

>Implying Freyja doesn't crave the HayaD.
>>144106785
No one remembers who got second place and that's why Minmayfags are still buttdevastated that they delude themselves of being too good for Hikaru after two decades despite being more popular and having more focus than Misa.
It will be the same and it will be hilarious.
>>144087050
If I'm not mistaken, dimensional weapons fuck with the Fold in the area of effect, making it unstable and shit. Since Fold = KAZE it would make sense why Windfags are pissed.
>>144107456
They didn't put Misa in triangle at first, they change the script in the middle isn't it? I mean she will fuck Gobal as first but they changed her into Hikaru's love interest.
>>144105191
>without giving two shits about Freyja

>>144112020
>Macross Freyja
I totally understand where they're coming from. I loved Freyja at first, she felt like a fresh character, but I'm rapidly losing interest with how perfect they're portraying her. Hayate was in the same boat, but it looks like they're finally giving him a real problem to deal with.
>>144108251
WOW WOW FLASH IN THE DARK!
>>144114669
I thought we would see more of Freyja feeling guilty or bad for fighting against her own people but that was solved in ep 8.
>>144114669
What would this problem be, pray tell? And what does that have to do with this 'perfect' portrayal. Did you complain the same way about Sheryl? Or did her sickness qualify as a problem, while Freyja's short life doesn't because it's "natural" ?
Suprisingly the most level headed macross viewers are the 3 doing the Macrossworld recap show.
>>144115162
What?
>>144115207
The macrossworld channel in youtube has a recap show that basically void of shipperfags and windvsnuns shot
It's like people don't understand that this show is about teamwork. The final showdown in the show won't be vs Keith, but the team of Keith+Heinz, and it'll will require the team of Hayate+Freyja to be overcome. Yet I think some people will be like "huh, Hayate sucks, that was all Freyja". Freyja doesn't even know how to fly.
>>144114054
>explaining the power of song with fold waves theory
It's like explaining the force with midichlorians. Completely unnecessary
>>144102926
This is fucking great
>>144112532
come to think Reina is the Veffidas of Macross Delta
>>144115050
A problem could be anything that actually affects her. The lifespan thing doesn't because she doesn't let it bother her. Sheryl's sickness was a huge shock to her, as was losing to Ranka in singing power. Even before that she had some realistic character flaws that fit her role as a diva.
>>144102926
So, why is OP1 ten times better than the current OP? Why downgrade to this extent?
>>144114637
Gintama sure is awesome
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=usjwNp3s94c
>>144115782
If Hayate's dad = windy nuker turns out to be true, then she could be conflicted that the boy she admires / has a crush on is related to the man who killed tons of her people.
Plus it takes her TRAITOR conflict to a while new level, seeing as she's best buddies with the son of the guy who wrecked her homeland.
>>144115788
If you're talking about the animation, virtually all 2nd op shows by satelight are like that. Even Frontier was.
>>144115879
I get the feeling that some faggots would jump down her throat if she shows the slightest displeasure if this turns out to be true. If she doesn't let it bother her, then they'll say she's too perfect.
>>144115728
She's not cool enough to be Veffidas.
>>144115954
Yeah it's a lose-lose situation.
Personally, I think she'll be down for a little bit before bouncing back before the ep is over. She'll then snap Hayate out of his funk via birthday song.
I've just realized that "Hayate is useless without Frejya" isn't that she got captured and they need to rescue her, but rather that Hayate tossed away his pendant so he couldn't hear her voice anymore.
>>144116112
>Hayate tossing his pendant
In a rage-fit against his war criminal dad? Yeah I can see it.
If HayaFrey get a buff 'upgrade' of sorts, then it'll involve him being able to sync with her without the need for the pendant.
>>144116102
I'm expecting trouble withMikumo's betrayal come episode 17. Facing her admired idolFreyja will be a bit lost, and with Hayate potentially guilting over his dad, there'll be resonance issues between the two before they get it sorted out towards the end of the show
>>144083897
they fuck so hard they give birth to god.
>>144116230
Fits with the connection issues in the ed too.
>>144116112
>I've just realized that "Hayate is useless without Frejya" isn't that she got captured and they need to rescue her, but rather that Hayate tossed away his pendant so he couldn't hear her voice anymore.
I think you might be on the right path.
>>144107456
>that they delude themselves of being too good for Hikaru
In SDF, this is the case though. Minmay spends 2/3 of the series teasing Hikaru and only in the last third when she starts going through a downward spiral is when she even shows slight interest but it's clear to anybody at that point she's using him as an emotional crutch as an outlet to her fading success.
In DYRL I think it was more of a straight up "I chose Misa"
>>144116698
That sounds better but ideally 12 to 13 episodes of misunderstandings would be more entertaining.
>>144116230
>Mikumo's betrayal come episode 17

>>144116977
Do you think Mikumo maybe would try to go to Windermere?
>>144116977
So there will be 4 more boring episodes without battles?
>>144117156
We are going to get Knights conquering NUNS.
>>144117156
Well, better that than having repeat after repeat of windies winning every fight. We haven't had enough of that, right?
>>144117156
Eh, could be a battle in ep 18 where they're struggling without Mikumo. Might set the stage for Freyja to step up and become lead Walkure.
Ep 17 could have a battle where Windies use more protoculture tech which in turn triggers more of Mikumo's memories
EP 19 might have a battle where the true power of the protoculture ruins + Mikumo are revealled.
>>144117200
>>Knights conquering NUNS
The animage/media whatever the fuck interviews said in the second cour Delta Squad's combat style is going to change from being on the defensive to being attackers.
Having that start after episode 19 is pretty dumb.
>>144117261
Well now that the knights have announced their galatic conquering plans we might get a more aggressive delta squad from next episode.
They're at the very least gonna move to crush Walkure, since they're the only real obstacle in their path.
>>144102926

I see VF-31F.
>>144117200
pls no
The knights are already ruining the show with their current mary sue wank. It would be painful if they got any worse.
>>144117784
Pride before a fall.
Knights are super OP now but are sooner or later gonna get knocked down to size when the mysterious third party makes it's move / Roid's chickenshit plan goes belly up.
Or, you know, Delta squad could git gud and give them a taste of their own medicine.lol who am I kidding
>>144117876
If that fall doesn't come within the next few episodes I don't think it will be worth it.
At this point it feels like I'm watching Yang Wenli take Iserlohn over and over again every single epsiode.
Do u think Elysion have the macross attack and do you think Elysion will destory Sigur Valens with Macross Attack?
>>144117756
that's the plamo's right?
>>144117954
Eh, I don't think Roid's plan will get very far off the ground - especially since the windies have practically completed the mind control network which (presumably) the third party are using them for.
I see someone moving against them to take over the mind control network pretty damn soon. And without the mind control they're nothing.
Or Roid's plan will stress out Heinz too much / Heinz gets assassinated by third party. Again without Heinz the power the network the Windies have nothing to fall back on.
Frejya is best Delta girl!!!
Reminder that Mirage is Zessica 2.0
>>144117876
>gonna get knocked down to size
Hayate already beat Keith once though.
>>144118185
All that did was make him more powerful.
>>144118172
Reminder that Delta is its own show and you don't have to constantly compare it to other things.
>>144118416
nice delusion
>>144114054
Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think Anima Spiritia was the same thing as Fold Waves
>>144118205
Not by intention
>>144118771
I think only Basara had Anima Spiritia. It was unique to him.
But, I remember at one stage, Veffidas suddenly was able to match the power at least to what Mylene was doing, hence giving the third fighter in that group the same fold wave protection.
But, I always associated that kind of stuff with voice and singing in particular. Not really their instruments.
But, I'm OK with it either way. I liked Veffidas.
Anyone know where I can download Neo Stream?
>>144118879
Veffidas makes anima spiritia with her drumming though. She and Ray fight off Glavil with it when Myelene gets beaten up and is unable to sing and Basara is back in hospital comatose.
>>144119140
Ah, I see. I guess I didn't remember that clearly. Thanks for pointing that out.
>>144118879
I think you could create spiritia doing anything. It's just that music is really effective.
>>144119258
Anima spiritia is basically "Song". So yep
>>144119140
Macross 7 is basically space exorcism
Do you figure NUNS is ultimately responsible for the Var syndrome appearing or is it just some random phenomena?
>>144119375
I thought it was a new thing that started appearing caused by fold bacteria or some shit like that
>>144119119
try the album rips
>>144119375
I heard it explained it was caused by the Vajra fucking off from the galaxy permanently somehow
>>144119408
That's the official explanation, sure
Do Windfaggots have anima spiritia? Could Heinz have sung giga Gepelnitch down and taught the protodevlin to love?
>>144119476
Wouldn't be far fetched to think NUNS would have captured some of the buggars and practiced SCIENCE with them
>>144119444
Where do I find those? Nyaa's macross music didn't have it on any of the tracklists.
>>144119519
Did the E manga have that mad scientist guy with a dead Vajra in a tube?
>>144109996
Who the fuck have Chinese last name?
>>144119619

Will macross glaxy fleet be enough to settle Windfags?
>>144119728
I think they were implying Freyja would lose because of her last name. They seem to see as Chinese last names as a losing flag.
Lynn Minmay
Ranka Lee
Zessica Wong
The funny thing is that Wion isn't a Chinese last name. It's Welsh.
https://www.houseofnames.com/wion-family-crest
>>144120433
I wonder if this is subtle chink racism
>>144120591
I wouldn't call it racism that that anon would automatically assume Wion is Chinese. I would just call it ignorance and jumping at the chance to take a jab at a character they don't like.
Minmays last name is Ming-Mei and that is indeed Chinese.
Lee is not Chinese, it's Korean. And it also has origins from Old English.
Wong is Chinese.
Wion is Welsh.
People just tend to generalize things as to how they see fit.
>>144120591
>subtle
>>144120896
Lee is chinese. My surname is Lee and i'm Chinese. Does that make me Korean??
WINDNIGGER GENOCIDE SOON
>>144121054

>>144120433
I see, that kinda despair.
>>144083897
"Buy the BDs!"
>>144121054
I'm a Mexican with a Spanish last name with Chinese descendance from my late maternal grandfather's side. Basically last names to me are an utter fuckery of origin so just forget about me making a point.
>>144121322
I think the last episode and the new op might have made people back off anon.
>>144121544
>Last episode
>Back off
Not for this anon! Gimme my high def windies and shinpis and gori goris.
I've seen some people comment on twitter that these costumes, that probably will be what Walkure wears in the final battle, are similar to the Aerial Knights' uniforms.
>>144121936
I don't see the resemblance.
>>144121936
I don't see it
>>144121936
Yeah, they totally have that 'final boss let's get serious now' feel.
Shows the girls off but hasmuch less of the playful idol froufrou of previous costumes.
EVen if they're not for the final boss I just want to see them debut.
>>144121975
>>144121978
The boots, the skin tight pants, the short jackets.
>>144122055
They are my favourite outfits so far. I'm pretty sure Risa Ebata is behind them.
>>144121936
One thing I noticed about the OP is that at the beginning they have Mikumo in the middle "spotlight" of Walkure and at the end, Freyja replaces her. Ties in with what people are saying that Freyja takes over as the Ace/strongest one of Walkure because Mikumo begins to lose her powers.
>>144121975
>>144121978
More like these outfits are their 'let's get serious now' costumes.
Less for concerts and more for singing to galaxy ending threats.
But yeah the black + skintight pants + boots + formal ties + line detail on the pants + uniform rather than individually distinct apperance + fluttery things (like the knights capes) are kinda like and idol version of the knight's regular fancy getup. I can totally see them wearing this is there's a knight + chaos teamup.
>>144122219
>I can totally see them wearing this is there's a knight + chaos teamup.
This is what some Japanese twitter users think.
They also remind me a bit of Sheryl's white uniform in SnT.
I wonder if even the last final battle songs will still be about "love" and "you're not alone, we're together now". It's the consistent theme I've seen in Walkure songs.
>>144122341
>you're not alone, we're together now
Togetherness will definitely be emphasised, especially if there's a Knights + Chaos teamup in endgame and Kawamori is going for an UNDERSTANDING end between humans and windies.
>Love
It's macross, so love will most likely be there too. If HayaFrey becomes one of the bridges which serves to unite the humans and windies then it will certainly be a huge theme.
>>144122217
>Ties in with what people are saying that Freyja takes over as the Ace/strongest one of Walkure because Mikumo begins to lose her powers.
I've been thinking this is what would happen since episode 2
>Knights teamup
I had enough of that after F. The approach in 7 was better.
>>144083897
That Mirage is BTFO
>>144121936
No matter how I look at them, I don't see any resemblance.
I have a question. Mirage Farina Jenius
Mirage is the the daughter of Miranda. That I know. But if Mirage is the daughter of another daughter, why is she carrying on the Jenius last name? Technically she should be carrying her father's, not her mother's.
>>144122674
Both the family line + that name is super famous. The dynamics are probably so that instead of Miranda marrying 'out' of the family and taking dad's name, it's more like Mirage's dad married 'into' the Jenius name.
Plus even if she did take dad's name, everyone is gonna see her as 'that Jenius girl' rather than daughter of random guy X. Might as well just simplify things a bit.
Is this the strongest macross cannon?
>>144122674
>>144123048
because muh legacy
to bad that she is terrible
So when will Mikumo take over Mirage's place?
>>144123547
When they reveal she was Mirage all along
>>144123048
>Carrying on your crazy skilled granpa's name
>Choosing your granpa's job
>You're just a regular, hardworking Meltran, tho'
Mirage is cursed. And she cursed herself.
>>144123547
This is some next level bullying.
They trained her wrong, as a joke.
>>144123547
Soon
when one Hayafre artist don't produce one daily image, another one covers for it
>>144123612
From what I've seen its more like she's just following in the Jenius footsteps because she thinks that's what's expected of her. The impression I get is that she doesn't even want to fly. Flashback to episode 10 where Freyja and Hayate are all like "I love what I do and it's the only way I can be happy" and she gets this look on her face like "Am I even doing what I want to be doing? I'm supposed to love flying?"
>>144123767
She should go be a doctor like her father
>>144123758
L-lewd
Here have some cute.
>>144123767
I don't really think the show is gonna go have her do something else, as much as it will be her finding that reason to fly, that enjoyment in flying. Hayate questioned her as early as ep 3 with "do you enjoy flying like that?"
>>144123905
I want to marry Freyja so much.
>>144123929
Yeah. It feels like the point of her character is just accepting that you don't always have to be the best of force yourself to live up to people's expectations.
>>144123905
You aint seen nothin' yet. Well chance are you have because its been posted a few times now.
Thank for the cute.
>>144123767
>>144123839
I think that she dropping out of piloting would be a real character development for her
But that will never happen
>Will you embrace your heritage, or escape it by taking control of your own destiny?
Freyja is too cute.
>>144124016
Which ironically might make her git guder
>>144107456
The denial strong in this one.
>>144124076
It might make her a better pilot but she still won't be the Ace. The Ace pilot is Hayate, him being the MC and all.
>>144124076
>>144124143
She is just an average pilot, at best
>>144124073
Right? The miracle of universe.
>>144121936
In terms of fashion the silhouette is almost identical to the Knights' uniforms. Since I'm pretty sure /a/ is not well-versed in fashion terms, silhouette refers to the basic outline of the garment. Take out the frilly things on their hips and you end up with the same shape as the Knights' uniform, with some variation like the shoulders not being as emphatized (for the sake of a more feminine shape, I guess).
>>144124271
And she's too pure for this world.
>>144124045
Perhaps she could after the series finishes. Like she'll stick around because she needs to support in fighting but once it's all over I can see her retiring to pursue something else.
Personally I think that once we find a career we tend to stick with it out of pride. I'm talking from personal experience. When I took up Architecture I found it interesting, was happy with my choice and persevered until I graduated. I started working as my profession but a year and a half later doubts started to plague me. And it's like even though I'm good at it, I constantly wonder if this is what I really want to do. But then you're set on the point of "but I already chose this and invested time and money and effort". And that's basically how most of us adults end up operating. We quit "dreaming of doing what I love" and focus on "I have to do this".
Which is Mirage's problem. She's so set on following the legacy and "this is it. This is what I have to do. I can't abandon it." Her leaving at the end to pursue a true passion would be the biggest character development for her.
>>144123929
Maybe that can be her ending. She realizes she doesn't really enjoy flying that much and she likes doing something else much more...
As luck would have it, Walkure is looking to replace the singer they lost after the final battle.
>>144124271
At times like these I really wish I could read Japanese. Fuck this gay earth
>>144124509
She doesn't have fold-receptor anon.
>>144124552
After the Var crisis is resolved, Walkure can recruit people without fold receptors.
>>144123758
Get this lewd filth out of my face
>>144124585
The whole point of Walkure is that they fight VAR, that's the reason they were made. Also, VAR will never entirely disappear.
>>144124447
I know that feelI'm at dead end job in an office
Still, I think that Mirage leaving piloting for whatever she wants like becoming a doctor, opening a food stand or anything else it would be really a true development for her.
She needs to start living as Mirage and not only by the Jenius legacy
>>144124585
>End of series: "Anybody can become a Walkure!"
>Next Macross series 9-10 years later, there are actual idol task force groups
>>144123758
Why Hayate is sucha slut
>>144124585
I thought the point was Walkure is that they exist to fight the Var, in other words, they would need fold receptors. It's not like they went full Macross II "let's throw songs at it and see what happens".

SIGN ME UP
>>144124827
>>144124777
Why won't you let her sing?!;A;
>>144124544
Here my lazy translation for you because my nip skill is suck. It's related to episode 7 about dressing like a cat people.
Hayate's thought "Why would I have to do this" and said that let's hurry up and finish this already. And then Freyja make that face so he messed up. After that Freyja said "What have you done?". He said sorry and told that it's her fault too. Freyja asked what is her fault. Hayate going to say but he laughed at her and said "Such a great face".
das it
>>144124780
Not that anon, but I think a big chunk of Mirage's character is that she's a constant person who sticks with her decisions. Unlike Hayate who went from place to place in search of something he really enjoyed (and then it turned out he's a natural at flying). It's a trope you'll find a lot in sports manga.
>>144124827
It is. The whole point of Walkure is that basically their voices have special powers and can affect people. It was the same for Sheryl and Ranka.
Anon just wants to see Mirage as an idol. Maybe she could go and form her solo career but I don't really think Mirage's personality is suited for that. Mirage is more suited for things like teaching.
>>144124919
Because it goes against Mirage's character and personality to be an idol/singer/in the media spotlight. Plus she doesn't have the basic thing that's required to be in Walkure.
Idol Mirage is a terrible idea. Non idol artist on the other hand sounds great, like her aunt Emilia.
>>144124936
God bless your beautiful soul.
>>144102926
Mirage on solo career.
Inherited Grandma Milia's gene to sing.
>>144124937
But this is not sports mango
If she continues piloting it would be a waste. She needs to learn to live by her own and do what really wants not was forced on her (or more likely what she forced herself into)
But nor Kawamori, or the writers and hell even her VA cares about her
>>144124995
Mirage on solo career.
Inherited Grandma Milia's genes to sing
Legit.
>>144125189
