That or is an Sv-262 Kai Fire Drakkon flown by Basara, lol.

Well, it is kinda soundforceish... and those flashy green lights on the shoulders definitely scream "Faiaaaaaaaaa" to me

is there a way to subscribe and download the chapters?

Mthe First finally got on par with tankobon 6 but... what happened to all the chapters apart from #1 and the last one?

There's a separate thread for the dispute but the short answer is that HG hasn't contributed in any meaningful ways to the creators of Macross, HG's legal claims are questionable, and the perception is that HG hasn't been honest or acted in good faith when dealing with the Japanese companies.

The (former?) head of HG (Agrama) was Berlusconi's occult partner in USA, so it is not unlikely that the behaviour of HG is a bit shady.

Long story short, protoculture is revealed to actually be a bio fuel source imbued with magic properties and the race ends with the characters everyone cares about missing.

Hey, that's the beginning of End of the circle! :-P

most of Tenjin's illustrations for the various recent releases are in the book....one notable omission (for me at least) was his VF-1J illustration from Macross the First.....luckily I have the calendar!

It's in Second Sortie ;-)

One thing I'm not clear about this Lady M (& Megaroad-01 by relation) :

- Is this Lady M already in real-space or still trapped in fold-space (or black hole) ?

- If she's still trapped in fold-space, meaning that she controls XAOS from behind the 'curtain'. She must have quite political/monetary influence to do that, because she's just a 'transmission' (literally).

- If she (& Megaroad-01) already out in real-space, then what's with all the secrecy (by Berger) ?

The return of Megaroad-01 (with its' legendary space-war hero crews) should have been a great news in Macross universe, but none of it is hinted in the Delta.

Unless the NUNG is keeping it secret. But from my point of view, that doesn't make sense, because the return of Megaroad-01 could be used as major propaganda by NUNG.

Unless Megaroad's crew is working against NUNS with their own political agenda

That mercat pilots Messer's VF-31.

Epic

My predictions:

the episode ends with a cliffhanger, as we have a glimpse of famous characters from previous series while the Megaroad 01 emerges from another universe. Next movie will be a super Macross generations ensemble

subs are out

Uh, despite all the talking I confess I do quite enjoy the series. I hope the finale will be an episode to remember

Frontier had (in part) the same problem for me: a lot of cool characters badly underdeveloped. Compared to Delta, however, they seem to come straight out of a Shakespeare play.

This new Macross installment is a strange beast, the lack of battroid action (or any action) and bland "bad guys" don't help, but I'll wait until the final episode to make a clean judgement.

Obviously, if the incredibly cool mercat from earier episodes resurfaces, I would be unbearably glad

Both were crap. infact...........all of Aquarion is crap. I've been scratching my head on things Kawamori has done since Macross Zero. Why he's gone to this format of story telling is beyond me. I don't even know if it began with Macross Zero since I've seen very little of his stuff inbetween these points. I mean he nailed it out of the park with Plus. So I'm gonna say somewhere between Plus and Zero he lost his way.

Ahem, Plus had Watanabe on board and it shows

No news on episode 22?

Any differences with the broadcast versions of the espisodes?

Blink and you miss it but there ARE battroids in this episode

And lot of gerwalk too.

Am I the only one who finds the SV "monster" head really ugly????

Work in progress

This. My fave "Macross Idol" and she's not even mentioned.

She mentioned only Macross TV series' singers

Cool! Thanks for posting them!

Awesome. I follow your posts with great enjoyment and interest. Great work.

Well I totally missed that part, I'll look out for it on my next viewing. But yes I'd agree that was a huge missed opportunity. You'd think considering they lost their BFF and husband/father of child there would be some type of acknowledgement and consolation of the loss.

-b.

Uh, missed it too

I wonder why he is no longer working on Macross animated series. the new charas of Delta look pretty anonymous by comparison.
