Episode 9 soon
Mirage and Hayate are unable to hide their bewilderment after learning that Messar has constantly been fighting up to this point while under terror. Having learned this secret between the two, they grow closer. Freyja witnesses this state of affairs between Hayate and Mirage and feels uneasy
メッサーが今までずっと恐怖と隣り合わせで戦っていたことを知り、戸惑いを隠せないハヤテとミラージュ。秘密を知ってしまった者同士、二人の距離はおのずと近づいていく。フレイアはそんなハヤテとミラージュの様子を目にして、そわそわと落ち着かない。

Great
Mirage's time is finally here!
Still like Freyja more though
>>14283333
Is that Freyja's phone chilling with Mirage's pet thing? That's amazing.
Alright gentlemen, how do we keep the Messer from dying?

Is it over for Freyjafags?
>>14283784
Suddenly one mention of Mirage in the episode title and "it's over" even though if I had to compare, it would be Freyja dominating the screentime like Sheryl
>>14283522

[SHIPPING WAR INTENSIFIES]
>>14285073
>>14284976
Yuropoor here, so it's Macross Mondays for me, which is superior solely on account of being an alliteration
>>14285073
Or maybe they intentionally make it sound shippy in purpose and it's played off as her being more suspicious than "uneasiness"
>>14285522
I figure her unease will be because she has suspicions they're hiding something or because she doesn't like it for a more mundane reason as well.
>>14285522
THIS
Freyja most likely would notice that they are hiding something.
Man Messer's nose is really nice
>>14285535
And by the end of the episode most likely everyone would know Messer's problem.
>>14285541
Arad, Messer and chuck has the more realistic noses than others, I guess it's for showing that they are manly men.
>>14285567
Yeah, that's true but that's like common for anime in general for the men to have notable noses
https://karice.wordpress.com/2016/05/29/p509/
Mirage is only literally mentioned when they speak of the triangle and as a Jenius. Isn't it sad? Meanwhile while they speak of the characters, they just mention Hayate and Freyja.
>>14283813
>Miragefags actually thinks she already won
Well there's a pretty sturdy precedent set in regards to this kind of thing
>>14286516
If Mirage does win, it's going to be a Pyrrhic victory where the show is going to be in terms of EVOL-tier quality. She is a glass cannon about as useful as Mikono.
Is Macross Delta worth watching? I've only watched the original series + OVA and Plus, both were stellar.
Delta looks rather generic.
>>14286534
Yes. Go watch it.
>>14286497
>>14286532
>Freyjacucks are this assblasted
Ebin
>>14286534
I'd say it's worth it. However, with only those series it may seem like "the power of music" made a big unexpected leap to you.
I'm currently watching with only those series and 7 watched though, and I'm enjoying it.
>>14283447
Am I the only one who's curious as to how Freyja's phone thing works? It seems a lot more organic than any tech I've seen in the macrossverse
>>14286534
>Delta looks rather generic.
You're definitely not wrong in thinking this. It's still a lot more enjoyable than Zero or Frontier though, strangely enough.
The first two chapters of one of the Delta manga are on Batoto:
http://bato.to/comic/_/comics/macross-delta-kuroki-tsubasa-no-shiro-kishi-r18946
How will the subs be on the Bluray? Were the Frontier movie subs good?
>>14283347
>11. Jellyfish Reminiscences
So the bridge bunny was mind-controlled after all!
>>14286977
Decent enough
>>14286516
The precedent is that the most fitting girl wins. Mirage hasn't done anything yet. Also, I don't know how much I have to say this but nobody is in love
>>14287278
The precedent is Red x Blue to set up the red oni/blue oni thing.
>>14287341
Neither Mirage nor Freya have red as a signature color. Purple doesn't count as red. Nor does one preceding case really count as significant precedent.
>>14287348
Freyja's costume is red.
>in before Kaname is red
She's yellow.
>>14287348
Freyja's color is red, if the outfit wasn't enough of an indication, the irl voice actress/singers costume being red is
>>14286497
How do you make a feel-good love triangle?
>>14283795
>>14283813
I was actually a Freyjafag in despair.
>>14283795
Because we already know the younger girl never wins. We're anxiously awaiting Mirage's counterattack.

Oh
that's fucking cute. That's cheating. That's just..just...hnnnng
>>14288454
One of the things I always love about macross, is that we always get these awesome locales, filled with its distinct style, and this case, unique wildlife
I'm a sucker for world building
![Macross_Delta_-_02_[EA738580].mkv_snapshot_04.44_[2016.05.29_03.57.14].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/HV2FPRL.jpg "Macross_Delta_-_02_[EA738580].mkv_snapshot_04.44_[2016.05.29_03.57.14].jpg")
So I started watching and Hayate's kind of a gigantic cunt.
>Get's called out on stealing a military vehicle
>hur dur you're a bad plane dancer
Like he does know she could fucking arrest him right? It's only by some miracle of script he's not getting hauled away and getting special treatment by the commander.
And to be honest, dancing aside, he really didn't do anything to suggest he even deserves it. He got shot down fucking immediately. I know they have to get the main hero in the pilot seat but for fuck's sake.
ASDADA
>>14288505
>So I started watching and Hayate's kind of a gigantic cunt.
Indeed he is. I didn't like him either but you'll see him gradually mature as you watch further. He's by no means mature yet but he's slowly understanding his limitations as a pilot and his role in the Delta squadron.
>>14288505
>So I started watching and Hayate's kind of a gigantic cunt.
Keep watching. I agreed completely with you at this point

>>14288525
>>14288527
Well I plan to keep going, and let's be honest what Macross protagonist WASN'T a cunt in some capacity.
>>14287348
Freyja = red (and yellowish orange, depends her outfit)
Hayate = blue
Mirage = purple
>>14288557
Forgot.
>>14288559
Bigger.
>>14288505
He gets better. By episode 8, Freyja and he are a great power couple. I'll be upset if Mirage fucks this up.
>>14288535
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG01ns_k4Xs

>>14288557
Walkure:
Freyja = red

Okay so Im off a few minds here.
On the one hand the parameters of the test made it justifiable for him to beat Mirage AND for her to kick his ass. And she did. By all accounts he'd have been dead immediately and was only saved because it was a test. So that's good.
On the other hand Freya's song hax seemed in all honesty kind of bullshitty, but Im guessing that's gonna be a bigger plot deal so gonna put a pin on that and wait and see.
That aside seeing him actually admit to being a cunt and taking training serious improved my opinion of him dramatically. Wasn't expecting this early actually.
>>14288566
>I'll be upset if Mirage fucks this up.
Well I don't have my hat in any corner just yet but seeing he and Mirage fly Red and Blue Valks isn't likely a coincidence and we have precedent of arrogant shit head MC hooking up with the stick up her but turbo bitch military officer
>>14288499
Yeah, post Space War One, the franchise creates settings that I wouldn't mind living in. That kind of optimism in the future can be kind of spare post 90s.
>>14288591
Only problem is it seems like every other fleet runs into some awful bullshit that's handwaved as being a freak occurrence and a isolated incident.
>>14288601
It's happened twice.
>>14288601
It really makes you wonder just how fucked the universe is if one colony can run into protodevil, one the Vajra, one whatever the fucking is going on in Delta all the while crazy AI pop starts are going murder happy
I know space is mindbogglingly infinitely huge but at a certain point this is starting to strain credulity.
>>14288610
Look man, all I'm saying is fleets are cursed. Megaroad-01, the Seventh Fleet, the Frontier Fleet, the Galaxy...Granted, it's not like there's a specific fleet to associate with the Windermere incident, but Macross ships attract bad juju.
>>14288613
At least if you survive them they usually turn out to be friendly. Aren't there still some more rogue Zentradi out there too?
>>14288610
every fleet has met with some major threat or disaster and when you stop to consider the size of the space and the amount of shit that must be out there that we simply haven't come across yet? Stuff that's moving, slowly bur surely making it's way to human society? terrifying
>>14288624
There should be tons of them.
>>14288628
>every fleet has me with some major threat or disaster
There has been more than 60+ fleets so far. A handful has met the conditions describe. Of course the animes will focus on these specific ones.
Man, I like these new SVs but their heads are kind of shitty. At least they're continuing the trend of strapping Ghosts onto a variable fighter to use as a booster.
So the anti-UN was what, the Russians, Israelis, and Germans? How does that even make sense? The German part I could buy if it was more like an East Germany kind of thing but still. Hopefully Delta will expand on what they've been doing since Zero.

Yeah okay I know they're all big deals but mentioning MinMei, Fire Bomber AND Sheryl and Ranka? That's just gratuitous camera winking fan service.
Not the worst thing ever but show some restraint.
>>14288640
Don't put a nationality on them. Various groups against the earth united government, probably largely situated in places like russia etc, where they could hide more easily
![Macross_Delta_-_04_[5D8A9FB4].mkv_snapshot_09.45_[2016.05.29_05.52.06].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/L41Oyk0.jpg "Macross_Delta_-_04_[5D8A9FB4].mkv_snapshot_09.45_[2016.05.29_05.52.06].jpg")
...oh
>>14288645
Eh, fair enough. At least they had the decency to not fuck shit up too much during Space War 1.
>>14288648
>>14288645
>>14288640
No, it was mostly based on nationality. That was the whole point. They didn't want to lose their national identities and cultures to some faceless world government.
It was Russia, Pakistan, Israel, Germany, Indonesia, a couple of Warsaw Pact countries, Mongolia, Albania, Laos, Cambodia, and Cuba at least.
>>14288569
>He grows up
He's doesn't act much like a self-entitled prick anymore but he's not quite grown up yet.
>>14288671
Well he's not the most mature adult yet but he's not the total dick shutting out everybody he was in the first episodes either
>>14288644
Considering this is all the same timeline and all these people are super famous for saving the entire galaxy for what they did in their respective series, why wouldn't their music be well known?
>>14288676
It's less them being well known and more the series feeling the need to stop in the middle of it's tracks and yell to the audience LOOK AT THESE OTHER SHOWS!
References are good but this one just felt forced. It'd be better to just have her play their songs like a normal person.
>>14288634
I like the standard head more.
>>14288704
>It literally is "Lil' draken"
Kawa!
>“Actually Walküre are kind of an updated version of Macross 7′s Sound Force and the Jamming Birds musical group as well. However, this approach were in its infancy during the time of Macross 7. In Delta, it’s more advanced and has been also been built on from the data collected during the period of Frontier as well, from the time of Sheryl and Ranka.”
AH-HA! I KNEW IT!
I'd been saying this from episode 1 but getting it confirmed by the creator is great
>>14288800
I would have thought it obvious too, but where did he say it out of interest? Did he say anything else regarding the show?
>>14288803

>>14288682
>References are good but this one just felt forced
I really don't see how that it was forced. Freyja was reminiscing how she was familiar with all of the famous singers who saved humanity or the galaxy from doom when she was given a her recording device from a wandering stranger.
>>14286698
Ranka's phone wasn't organic, but it was pretty similar in that it was shape-shifting and looked less like phone and more like a toy or teddy or something. This is presumably just an extension of that, putting bio-tech in to organic beings or something.

Has anyone bought/played this to confirm if you can make VFs in it out of interest? Being passing over it on GOG for weeks and finally checked the ad out and now I'm curious.

It's just purple, man.

Arad's VF-31 is green and red.
>>14288704
The head sensor unit of Keith's Draken is suppose to resemble a dragon's head hence the name.
Has there been any pics of the 3 volume box that comes with the first volume BD?

Mirage will never amount to anything. She can't pilot, she can't fight, she can't sing.
>>14289038
She can star in doujinshi.
>>14289043
Only of the Fatalpulse variety.

I know it's a part of macross, but the love triangle shit bores me.
>Spend 13 hours trying to get piracy working on 3DS.

Fuck. Even if the quality is crap I wanted to watch it.
>>14289044
Fatalpulse appears to prefer loli bodytypes.
>>14289049
There's not a love triangle in Delta though. The broken triangle symbolizes that.
Time for Ragnan Yellow to die and for Mirage to get shot down.
>>14289038
FREYJAKEK BTFO
Why did they need to scan the ruins?
Messer varing out.
>>14289060
Kawamori just said he can't get funding for Macross unless he includes it. http://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2016/05/28/shoji-kawamori-on-macross-delta-and-his-hopes-for-the-series/#10d9510a1210
And doesn't matter what you call it, watching freiya get antsy over Mirage and hayate sitting on a beach is boring.
>>14289054
Fatalpulse likes lolis and tittymonsters. Realistically he would do a doujin where they all get raped and probably eaten somewhere along the line.
But Mirage would get it the worst.
Now I finally understand what Kawamori meant when he said he wanted to create feelings of "I want to protect" about the love triangle. Mirage will be a damsel in distress for most of this series and Freyja will keep getting targeted by Bogue, who's a literal autist.DAT MIRAGE BLUSH THOUGH
>>14289081
>>14289054
It doesn't have to be Fatalpulse specifically, just of that type. Like, one of ShindoL's darker doujins, where Green gets her head crushed and Mirage becomes a drug-addicted onahole. Or Z-Ton doing some kind of monster Var transformation with female bodies.
I always knew /m/ had the sickest fucks.
>>14289088
ShindoL is weird. He does some really dark horrific shit and then does some genuinely touching love stuff every now and then that just comes out of the blue. That one with the quadriplegic girl finding love in an office weirded me the fuck out because of it.
The cuter one is always the one who gets destroyed the most in doujins. Mirage is useless and uncute. Freyja would be the one in all the doujins getting it in every hole from faceless fat old dudes.
>>14289038
She will be there with you for years
Why is /a/ calling Kaname an "old hag"?
Their threads are faster, but it's hard to keep up with their memes sometimes.
>>14289122
She's over 20, making her an old hag. It's like how Misa is called old hag in SDF threads on /m/ despite her being either 19 or 20.
>>14289122
>Why is the pedo board calling a woman "old hag"?
>>14289049
It was literally resolved this very episode. She learns why they were meeting up and talking all the time, and learns about Messer. Getting frustrated with herself, she vents it by shouting Gori Gori at the end of the episode.
It seems like it was literally a 1 episode arch with her being uneasy because misunderstandings.
I really liked the episode because it delievered action, that didn't feel tacked on, which I didn't suspect
>>14289130
I see. Thanks.
>>14289134
>>Why is the pedo board calling a woman "old hag"?
>the pedo board
I would have thought it would be /jp/.
>>14289167
Calling /a/ "the" pedo board was probably inaccurate. We have several.
>>14288665
>Pakistan and Indonesia willingly allied with Israel
Someone didn't do his research properly
>>14288640
Not countries per say. Just different groups with different interests that doesn't like the planet run by a one world government.
>Anti Unification Alliance
A collective of various powers who opposed the Earth Unified Government. The reason why they didn't adjust themselves to the Unified Government varies according to the power, such as the confrontation between races and OTM concessions because of the [Unified Government's] monopoly on OTM. They unfavourably compare to the Unified Forces, and even though they developed local wars in various places, which were referred to as the Unification War, the Anti Unification Alliance rapidly weakened from the Bird Man Incident. In addition, when the Zentraadi attack on South Ataria Island was concealed, the Unified Government publicly announced that the attack was terrorism by Anti Unification Alliance remnants.
>>14288665
>>14289187
I can assure you we have nothing to do with any of these countries besides Russia, nor any interest in joining the (former) Warsaw pact.
Just imagine Paki's having to get along with us kikes.

And cute! Cute!
I like how it picked up Freyja's quirks
I liked the dogfights in this episode.
It showed Hayate working with the team and Messer and Keith showing off some cool moves.
>>14288704
Much better. I'd only gotten a good look at Keith's so I assumed that was standard.
>>14288535
>>14288671
>>14288676
"Grown up" or not, he progresses in a good way. What made me like him the most, was that he's a "pacifist" character done right. He doesn't want to kill, but he acknowledges that it's sometimes inevitable and that he won't hesitate if a life is on the line.
>>14289363
I'm just afraid that Messer's going to die in the next episode ;_;
Please Kawamori let both of them live until the end.
Man its kinda sad that Freyja will die at 30. Mirage just has to play the long game really.
So in reality both could happen.
So why windermere faggots are attacking again?
>>14290070
I am wondering the same thing. From what I am getting is
>"NO WE ARE THE PROTOCULTURE HIERS REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
>>14290070
muh kaze
>>14290070
In short? They seem to be butthurt faggots for no reason.
>>14290070
They want to throw out the Humans, erect a Dimensional wall and make the Brisingr Cluster great again
>>14290070
Imperial Japan. Imperial Japan had managed to modernize, then started to "invade their neighbours for their own good" to strengthen its won position vs the other great powers.
Windermere had a war of independence 7 years ago, after which it was left alone. Now they're "liberating other nearby systems by employing mindcontrol, for their own good"
>>14290070
>>14290055
>Man its kinda sad that Freyja will die at 30
Messer actually says to her at the end there "how does it feel knowing you've only got 15 years left"
You know they're just gonna magick the lifespan thing away at the end though
When asked "What is the best mech in Delta?" Hidetaka Tenjin said "The left arm of the Macross [Elysion] because I designed it."
>>14290148
So what he's really saying is that he likes the Aether. I like the Aether too. Finally shows off a portion of what the individual pieces of a Macross can do.
>>14290147
How old do Zentraedi live too again. Because Mira had to be in her mid to late 50s at the absolute minimum back in 7 and she was still totally banging
>>14290152
True. But Elysion and its attachments are a new macross class all together. So we need to see the whole thing in action as well, though its obviously being saved upon for when shit gets real.
in 99.9% of cases I actually detest combining mecha. But huge space carriers docking get a free pass... though now that I think about it, how would Elysion look in ship mode with the two ships missing?
>>14290070
The main force was a diversion for Theo to locate and analyze the Protoculture ruins on Ragna. He confirmed that the ruins are operational and capable of conducting the Var song and the knights pulled out.

Im gonna be completely honest. I NEVER liked or saw the advantages of Gerwalk

There's a lack of Gerwalk going around it feels like Hayate is the only one who frequently uses Battroid. Though on the plus side we get a lot of actual real dogfighting.
I miss the Knights' Battroid mode
>>14290070
> So why windermere faggots are attacking again?
This time they made a bait attack to get info on Ragna's ruins.
>>14290224
The knights rarely do anything but fighter
>>14290222
wew lad
>>14290222
>I NEVER liked or saw the advantages of Gerwalk
All the teechnical movement of fighter with quick weapons loadout of Battroid with the downside being that it's a wide form and not the most aerodynimc form.
How can you not like "planes with hands and legs" though? It's so ridiculous that it works perfectly
>>14290224
I'm tired of Hayate fighting in fighter mode, I want to see more dancing.
>>14290228
Well, they are the "aerial knights", not the "walking knights" or "hover knights".
>>14290171
Since when does Maki ship Hayate x Mirage?
>>14290252
>All the teechnical movement of fighter with quick weapons loadout of Battroid
It's better to use Jet or Fighter modes as the situation warrants. Compromised stats may sound nice and everything but all you're really doing is combining the weaknesses without getting the full advantages
>>14290180
Thing is going Zentran to Miclone messes their aging. The loli in the china dress, Mei Leilong, is a Meltran and according to Aisha an old lady.
>>14290254
>I want to see more dancing.
I want to see Mirage dance.
In fact the biggest reason I ship Hayate and Mirage is because and it's probably gonna happen but I want to see Giant Robot couples dancing

Yeah but Mirage and most of the Jenius clan where probably born as Miclones.

would you prefer Anima Spirtia?

It's probably going to be something like Walküre singing through that magic portal that will lengthen their lifespan AND undo the effects of the dimensional weapon.

You get 80 years! And you get 80 years! Everyone gets to live 80 more years!

Remember when Macross was conceived? It was during the Cold War, when everyone thought the Soviet Union and world communism would remain a major power for centuries to come.
>>14290311
I think is more funny if you think they could be living to 80 already thanks to the United Goverment space medicine, but MUH INDEPENDENCE

You know it's funny and Im surprised Im only just now noticing it it but for a series with such gigantic emphasis on music that dancing is only just now being a thing is really weird.
>>14290252
>>14290267
I always saw it as more of a Helicopter/Gunship type of form, since you can hover, move in easily controllable bursts in tight quarters, and deliver sustained firepower to a target point rather than just strafing it.
>>14290273
Why can't we fuck a mature Zentradi loli in that game?
>>14290277
I'm pretty sure those aren't bagpipes. They're probably a horn of some sort.
>>14290273
that naval needs to be licked.
>>14290331
I'm impressed how much I dislike it, given I actually enjoyed Macross 7. I guess I prefer my giant robots as musicians.
>>14290364
I think it has more to do with Hayate lacking Basara's charisma. Basara was singing with a goal in mind and Hayate is just being a cunt.
>>14290364
Holy shit. We're like day a night. I love the dancing robot but thought the musician robots could go die in a fire
>>14290362
Aisha is the premier semen demon
>>14290334
It also the shorterst form in height, so it can be useful for cover and hidding
Of course this doesn't show much when most of the show is dogfighting

Okay he is becoming one of my favorite MCs.
I can't believe I was going to skip this to marathon 7-Frontier first.
Also I am really liking Ragna. Maybe I am a sucker for beach locations.

Heathfish Heathfish no should terrify the neighborhood
>>14283333
Mirage VA stated that Mirage's feelings for Hayate are less she wants the guy and more she wants to be him.
It's all a faux triangle.
>>14290453
Delta is great, but you really should watch 7 and Frontier. Those are both excellent as well, and provide some interesting background context to the events of Delta.
So is it safe to think that Windermeran's shorten their lifespan whenever they use their rune for something like combat ability or something stupid that they themselves do to themselves?
>>14288587
>Well I don't have my hat in any corner just yet but seeing he and Mirage fly Red and Blue Valks isn't likely a coincidence and we have precedent of arrogant shit head MC hooking up with the stick up her but turbo bitch military officer
You'll eat your hat: Freyja's official color is red, Mirage's just purple. The basis of the show was male pilots resonate with female singers, similar to plus (Mirage was a late addition, as were the idea of Var and enemies). Mirage VA state her feelings for Hayate may be admiration, not love. She's secondary heroine. Director didn't think anyone gave a shit about the Jenius family anymore.
She's pretty much added to make a triangle as a throw away character. They barely speak of her and they speak a lot of Hayate and Freyja.
>>14290474
Nah I mean 7 through Frontier.
>>14290473
you know Id be cool with Hayate and Mirage getting the "bro" end.
So when are we getting a Macross Triangle where everyone wins in the endno Frontier doesn't count
>>14290502
so Freya wins first but dies at 30 or so and years later Hayate remarries Mirage?
>>14290478
>all this damage control
I see freyja fags got BTFO really hard
>>14290502
Oh yeah she has to grab that Hayate D in about a year or two if she wants to be with him.
Wait so the Windermerans did that hole thing themselves?
What a bunch of faggots. I was actually thinking that they have some legitimacy to the war. Nah the royal family are a bunch of faggots. Fuck them, maybe they should have a Macross canon aimed at the capitol.
Mirage is my favorite and I actually DON'T want her to win the Triangle. She has her own plot and Id rather see her not be reduced to love interest
>>14290528
We don't know actually. Both sides blame each other. It's going to get covered for reals at some point
>>14290537
Why am I thinking Roid did that and is making everyone think that "Oh it was totally the earthlings who did that" because he fucked up in making a weapon.
>>14290557
Because it's easier to have a Dr Doom villain than it is to create actual political intrigue
>>14290560
He also screams "I am a god now" type of faggot.
>>14290515
There's no damage control. Kawamori hinted he didn't want to make a love triangle this time:
http://www.forbes.com/sites/olliebarder/2016/05/28/shoji-kawamori-on-macross-delta-and-his-hopes-for-the-series/#6a2f454d1210
The draft of Delta features pairs of idol-pilot (mecha and music), not love triangle. Mirage was literally added to make the sponsor happy. That's all. There's no damage control. I'm disappointed because I'm a fan of the Jenius family.
>>14290557
Why would he? He knows they won't believe him and it's better they think that to not cause trouble.
>>14290594
Drafts don't represent the final story. The first Draft of Star Wars was all kinds of different from the final version. Saying X wasn't in the Draft doesn't mean shit.
>>14290597
Oh he could totally blame it on them. Windermerans don't seem too bright.
>>14290605
Mirage Va already hinted Mirage might confuse her feelings, Kawamori declared this was a 'pale' love triangle (so one side is a hoax). They literally affirmed twice there won't be melodrama either. If a girl's feelings are actually admiration and the other girl's are love, which is the girl with the basis of the draft as the love interest, what could it mean? And said girl is the main heroine. Jesus, anon.
>>14290614
>Kawamori declared this was a 'pale' love triangle (so one side is a hoax)
but did he say WHICH side
>>14290620
>but did he say WHICH side
Asami Seto already stated Mirage's feelings might not be love, but admiration. She doesn't want Hayate, she wants to BE Hayate.
Freyja's feelings are portrayed as romantic love.
WOW I wonder which side is fake? Maybe the one added for the sponsor and not the one with the basis of the show, on draft and running the current theme? Use your fucking brain.
>>14290620
>one is a hoax
>which one, gee I wonder
Freyja = goddess of love among things
Mirage = illusion, deception
Geez, I for one reason or another can't wait to see more.
I am not a fan of the "Magical Girl"* genre which this series seems to be pushing alongside the Music and Mecha aspects.
Why do I like this series? I shouldn't, but I am enjoying it more than I think I should. What should I do /m/?
Perhaps the plot in regards to the conflict has me intrigued? Maybe it's the music? Either way, I want more. And I shouldn't.
*(well, technically it's not magic, but science in guise of what supposed to appear as magic)
>>14290629
POTTERY
>>14290628
I wasn't aware she was the script writer. You do realize that when questioned it's her job to not say anything one way or the other and make it sound more interesting
>>14290629
You really shouldn't look at names too literally. You could be setting yourself up for classic misdirection if you only take this shit at face value
Freya covers a lot more fields than love too. Death being a big one.
>>14290639
And Freyja is doomed to die not long after 30
>>14290644
she could also burn out a lot sooner if she goes full singer sayan or something in the climax
>>14290639
Let's try it this way:
Freyja: Main heroine
Mirage: Who
>>14290673
you could have save yourselves come keystrokes just by writing 'NUH UH"
>>14290644
Sounds like 2030 CE.Still annoyed about that show being cancelled, come to think of it.
>>14290676
Truth hurts?
>>14290682
What truth? All Im seeing is straw grasping with nothing of merit to back it up.
You can say whatever you want about what was intended, all that matters is what's on screen. Plots change during the course of development.
>>14290557
Roid would be 13 then. I'm more inclined to think Gramia fucked up and started blaming Earthlings or they are going to surprise us with Helmann the reasonable one as instigator using the MDE.
>>14290690
Oh now that I think about t that would most likely be the case, reminds me a bit of AGE for some reason.
>>14290275
>I want to see Giant Robot couples dancing
You and me both, friend
>>14290502
How long are Windemerens fertile for? I mean, if their relative lifespan is 30 years, wouldn't she be infertile by 17?
>>14290814
Dunno but they want them to marry at 14 or so.
Im not really feelings most of Walkure's songs.
>>14290502
>Only two doujins
>None of them are Freyja and Hayate making some sweet vanilla love in the goal of impregnating her
Why? I mean the ones we have now are not that bad.

>>14290644
Freyja having a background tragic dying this is exactly why I think she has an advantage here.
Also, the budding Freyja/Messer friendship is a direction I really like and didn't expect
>>14290876
Nah they are going to make some excuse to lengthen her lifespan.
>>14290885
Has Macross ever done a sad ending? I mean the closest I can think of is Zero and that's part prequels never going right for anyone and mostly pretty ambiguous
>>14290885
Yeah I think so to but that's like a last episode kind of thing
PLEASE GG. ;_;
I just don't see the appeal of Freyja as a love interest. She's cute, but I don't get the sense that she could be a wife at this stage. Though, I guess if I were Hayate's age I wouldn't be thinking of marriage at this point either. Only Max got married before he reached the age of majority, right?
>>14290947
Zero had the two main heroes vanish into deep space and die of lack of oxygen.
Frontier movies had Alto disappear and Sheryl go into a coma.
7 had Sivil go back to her home planet and nobody found love where they were looking for it.
Even SDF Macross had the world blown to pieces and humanity living in a post-apocalyptic wasteland.
>>14290972
>but I don't get the sense that she could be a wife at this stage
Is that how you justify how relationships in anime could work out? I mean putting aside 14 is considered late for Windermereans to marry
>>14290957
Of course. Then a shot of Freyja and Hayate at a beach with some kids that look like them. Maybe the girl has blue hair and the boy has blonde hair.
Hell maybe she might live longer because her rune thing is not normal.
>>14290972
If you want to feel better even Freyja did not see herself as a wife.
>>14290980
>Zero had the two main heroes vanish into deep space and die of lack of oxygen.
Inferring some serious implications there
>Frontier movies had Alto disappear and Sheryl go into a coma.
She wakes up at the end and Alto comes back. It was pretty clear. There is a blu-ray version of the ED where it clearly shows him coming back
>7 had Sivil go back to her home planet and nobody found love where they were looking for it.
Because romance was not important at all. That's not tragic

No, it just shows Sheryl is well in a concert with Ranka but doesn't show Alto at all. But that does imply he came back anyway.

Heinz was born when his mom already had the white marks on her face, so she was probably 30 or older.
>>14290983
No, that's what I'm saying. It's love, sure, but there's no indication that it'll be any more than a first love and Hayate and Freyja won't go on to other people in the future. In the old Macross, the only ones who got married on-screen were Max and Milia, and they were the only long-term couple to be shown in future spinoffs.
>>14291048
Well seeing that Freyja, without any super magic extending her life, will die at 30 seeing Hayate move on would make some sense.
