Anyone here read moon
It's not that I wasn't expecting Idols, I just wasn't them to be the only pilots. Are there any soldiers?

We're going to have this every thread aren't we? It was confirmed in a press release that the idols will NOT be the pilots.

What are you talking about?
The SV-262 doesn't look like a faggot.
>>13433766
You say that but the latest Gundam is pandering hard to the fujo crowd.
>>13433483
Wait what. That character design is really weird by Macross standards; it looks like a uniform out of Code Geass or something. I'm assuming they're basically the Blue Angels who also sing?
>>13433579
This implies that the idols will be the pilots. And that it takes on a world long colonized by humans.
>>13433779
nice opinion, those boys still have muscle and are shooting people in the face.
this piece of garbage on the other hand...
>>13433840
Except it doesn't. The blue haired boy is the main character, not the idols.
>>13433876
This "garbage" just has some promo art and one trailer. Take your bait and fuck off.
>>13433911
Is he? He only shows up in one scene in the trailer and most of the trailer shows off the girls.
>>13433964
He shows up twice.
>>13433964
Its called bait MCs.
They are baiting the aidorufags into watching, like how they made the early Symphogear posters.
>>13433977
That and the event they showed the posters at was also for announcing the idol contest winner so they wanted to show off the character she'll be voicing and singing for.
they are the new diamond force jobbers

Is it as phallic of imagery as a girl on a bikini riding a horse?
>>13435634
You might not be gay.
>>13433483
The Aerial Knights of the Kingdom of Wind are well Knights not a boy band.
Looks like Kawamori took his concept of the Air Calvary Chronicles for Macross Delta. Air Calvary Chronicles had three kingdoms which had sword wielding VFs. The concept was reworked to become Escaflowne.
>>13435634
Because you want to see them do motion control with those planes.
What's more Kawamori than five VFs mimicking the dance moves of an idol group? Very little.
>>13437684
>sword wielding VFs
It would be nice too see some melee weaponry that isn't a knife for once although it seems kinda pointless when they are GO FAST incarnate

Space Honkers is the MC. Site confirmed it.
Of course guy is going to be one of the main trio as always.
>>13435634
I really hope they are the pilots.
>>13433766
Because the main male pilots in F were not looking like otome bait right?
>>13433483
Notice the hair thingys We may be dealing with another Protoculture seeded race.
My feeling it was a UNG uplift gone wrong. Now they want to expand. But Humans, Zentradi and Zolans have already colonized the nearby planet.
Grace's galaxy wide invasion by space bugs didn't endear Humans and their associated races to them.
Delta is obviously their band name

And most of them don't look gayer than F dudes did.

I like the idea of a post-Frontier Macross where the love triangle is between a meltrandi, a human pilot and his plane's AI.The plane sacrifices itself at the end to save the pilot, the show ends with him in the hands of the meltrandi crying his eyes out.

I don't understand how anyone can be excited about a new Macross after the massive turd that was Frontier.
>>13446053
lel so edgy and original XD
>>13446048
Kawamori never had a "touch" to begin with. Anything good that came out of Macross as a story was the handiwork of others.
>>13446058
Kawamori was a great ideas man and like every great ideas man, he needed people by his side to call him for his bullshit. Kawamori doesn't have that kind of people anymore. See the dog fiasco on Evol
>>13446055
I found Frontier mediocre. Still not interested in Delta though.

Whatever people's feelings on Delta, it's still pretty awful to have gone from this...
To this.
>>13446105
Unpopular opinion, but I think in this current generation, transforming robots are better left in CG since there are barely anyone in the industry who can animate complex transformations. Especially Kawamori's designs.
2D is gone forever.
>>13446126
Good
>>13446132
>>13446132
fuck you nigger
>>13446114
Then they should learn instead of degenerating further
>>13446144
It's hard to believe that's a TV episode.
It looks like an OVA.
>>13446149
Be the change you wish to see. Learn to animate transformations via 2D animation.
>>13446155
Some of those buildings made me think of cardboard boxes though.
>>13446155
Dont you worry, they make up for that amazing Max vs Milia fight with another one with terrible animation
>>13446230
Still better than ANY CG.
PROVE ME WRONG
YOU CAN'T
>>13446144
I wonder if the guy in the red car survived.
>>13446144
That shot near the end with the VF sliding to the left looks a bit odd, like it's one of those miniature sets used in toku rather than a full-size town. Even though it's animated. Maybe it's the lack of detail on the buildings.
>>13433549
My moon is terrible. But this basically says
In 2067, in a godforsaken part of the universe, some disease (Varu?) is running rampant.
To counter this, an idol group was formed (Warukure?) and they do battle along with the Valkyrie unit.
Somewhere else, in the Kingdom of Wind. A unit called the Sky Knights which is a mysterious Valkyrie Unit, has begun operations.
Then some bullshit about protoculture, and how there will be fiery passion and friendships in this story.
>>13446253
He should be fine unless the propulsion flame killed him
>>13446234
>>13446402
This barely counts as animation so you cant use it as an argument
>>13446155
No, not really. It's pretty nicely animated but nowhere near OVA levels.
>>13446402
That's just wabi-sabi.
>>13446402
This just needs more in between frames and its better than any cgi
>>13446186

>>13446375
>they do battle along with the Valkyrie unit.
Assuming it's not just what amounts to cheerleading, one would hope.
>>13447347
The VF-31 seem to be one seaters so probably they just sing out of harms way.
>>13447347
I hope they are pilots. But probably not.
>>13437684
>Air Calvary Chronicles had three kingdoms which had sword wielding VFs. The concept was reworked to become Escaflowne.
Oh, that's nifty. I'm actually looking forward to this now, it might be cool to see what Kawamori's original ideas for Escaflowne look like in the Macross universe.
>>13446375
So they're curing disease by singing?
>>13433483
fuck the guy that predicted the idol shit in macross
get the fuck back into your delorean and never come around here again
>>13447356
>>13447356
I really hope that at least one of the VFs uses a proper sword, and perhaps is mainly a melee unit, particularly one of the VF-31s, like the blue one. Of course, it would have guns too because it may not always get to be close enough to use the sword.
>>13447359
Maybe? It's unclear and the trailer doesn't even show any singing. Maybe it's another Macross 7 case with singing saving victims of spiritia drain.
>>13447392
Who could possibly predict idols in Macross.
>>13447407
Yeah, that would be pretty cool.
>>13447448
Would even fit with the Knight theme going on.
>>13447407
Melee makes no sense when your enemy is just as fast as you. And where every fighter has the kind of firepower Macross ones have.
>>13447690
I thought of that kinda thing already, but I can imagine that Kawamori will find a way to pull it off. Like the sword doesn't always have to be used. Maybe sometimes used as a finisher or something, or in a situation where the enemy is open and wouldn't have a chance to dodge.
>>13447690
Macross has been slowly implementing melee weapons into their variable fighters. Starting with the bayonet on the VF-11B models, pinpoint barrier punches on the 19 and current models and finally the assault knives on the 25 models. Close combat isn't that common in Macross but it does happen and it helps to have some kind of melee attack to fall back on.
>>13447407
Gunswords, anon.
The gunpod may double as a sword as well.
>>13447831
Well we see that the blue VF-31 Siegfried has two integrated gunpods or something under each arm. Looks like it might be going for integrated weapons rather than seperate weapons it holds onto. So maybe it would have a sword that flips out or is stored in a sheath. That would be cool
>>13447862
it actually has a gunpod in the trailer.
>>13433832
>it looks like a uniform out of Code Geass or something.
Nah, it doesn't look neo-medieval or neo-17th century style. It's more like UtaPri.
>>13447819
It even happened early on in the original Macross--does anyone have that webm of the really QUALITY animation where one of the mechs is trying to bash a Zentraedi with a gun?
>>13446732

Why is it called delta exactly?
>>13433832
I haven't watched any Macross, but have any of them had a stunt Valkyrie squadron? I seems like something that would fit nicely considering the focus Valks get.
>>13448772
Well the delta letter looks like a triangle, and you know how it isn't Macross wothout a love traingle
>>13448846
There's the Angel Birds and the opening animation for one of the PSP games.

>>13448848
Kawamori actually went with a Delta because he's planning to have this series not focus on love triangles for once.

>Kawamori pointed out that the delta symbol in the logo is made of triangular symbols, to symbolize the three main thematic elements of Macross: music, a love triangle, and transforming fighter planes. However, he noted that the two symbols are split, and explained that this is indicative that the three elements will not come together as expected in the new story.

One of the rumors I heard from those who attended that Macross Delta panel is that the Drakens use something akin to gunblades.

>>13446375
>Kingdom of Wind
Surprising that NUNS is letting someone have their own monarchy on one of their colonies.
>>13450590
Each planet and colony fleet is given the authority to govern themselves.
If the people wants a monarchy and it ain't fucking with other people's stuff, I see no reason for NUNS to step in.
>>13450590
It may not be a human colony if the hair spears are a racial trait.
Humans are not the only Protoculture seeded race. In Macross Dynamite 7 we got the Zolans, a marsupial race evolved into humanoids due to the Protoculture. A more technological primitive culture that joined the UNG and got an uplift.
We may be seeing the same thing here. UNG gave a tech uplift package but only to blow up in their faces as these guys went Zeon on them.
Interesting there are a Delta War 1 and Delta War 2 in Isamu Dyson's record in a span of a couple of years. Probably stomped hard but not hard enough by Spacy.
These guys probably went militant again after Grace had her galaxy wide invasion fail 8 years earlier.
