  1. I rewatched the Ozma episode, thats good use of M7 music, thats a good callback to an older show.
  2. A TV show about the war seven years ago would be awesome. We follow the squadron of scoundrels on Windermere through battles, love, cultural shock, and their contact with a windermerian singing girl. Invasion, occupation, disparition, what happened to them?
  3. I don't get it, how a neural network with rune enhanced winderjin ( racial nomenklatura here) at its core is so different from Grace project? Shooting at the collectivist utopia was also made in Frontier. But is it really the collectivist utopia? Taste like some transhuman/libertarian one for me. Problem is the lines are blurred between the collectivist dream society and the super individualistic social order, imho, so im not so sure about this interpretation for Macross. Is there individuality in everyone listening to Walkure? Do the people in the show react differently between Walkure songs and Mikumo ones? I mean...They are brainwashed, victim of it in both case since it makes them react on a genetic level. The concert they made in Valkyries outfit, everyone was sucked into it, forgeting everything else and compulsively paying? Huuummm... Smells bad to me Someone said its Hayate fold quartz (another plothole) that makes him react so strongly to Freija. I found this idea so entertaining, what if it was love weaponized? Control other people in the same way Roid/Grace are trying to achieve. What does it says about the whole Walkure project/Lady weaponising culture? With a flavor of the week (the girls), and no real choice. Propaganda inducted music on a grand scale? Are NUNS with their multicultural socialy free/racially, equitable, empire the bad guys? Yes they are ruthless, but they are facing mass social control (through an oligarchy again) on a galactic scale. I also believe a racial lecture of things is more visible than the political order of things in this show. In the end isn't shooting at the protoculture reversing in a way into barbary? (Heroes "guided" by emotions, Nuns lack of care for life). The AI oboeteimasuka by Mikumo is a reversal from DYRL, have our main characters forgot about culture? (well ...Idols...yeah...). But to be franc does it even matter? If the execution is so bad you can't really convey the ideas...
  4. Warning strong salt in this one. Wrote that while watching. How did they feel Mikumo anguish at the begining? Why half the episode is about people being naked in space Gundam like? Traitor? Having a plan? All this exposition for a half baked remake of Frontier ending? Music is a weapon, except when its used by the heroes... Macross Seven is leagues above this show. A sword... When i watch Macross i don't watch Gundam again. I like some Gundams but not to much in my Macross. Sorry. The first fight in the debris field, with the arrival on Ragna was ok. Lets say the actions scenes were effective to wake me up. Some nice shots. Love saves they day Keith and Royd die, ok? Ceasefire, how so? Lets go back home with a smile... O_o' Marianne is alive, what a secondary plot, at least it has ended. Freyia won the lotterie. Mirage character arc ended, she can pilot, she loves Hayate because of piloting, she loves piloting more than Hayate. Hayate character arc... Huumm yeah...what was it again? At least it has ended... Thanks Burger in Heaven, no revelation about Megaroad and M. What about Burger? Ahuummm... The guy that stole the show the past episodes? Its not good. The few actions scenes on this episode do not erase the memory of talking heads and the story being stopped for 10 episodes. Its not good. Music is forgetable,Ikenai Borderline being my favorite, studio version, and im nice public. Its not good. Useless and flat secondary characters, deus ex everywhere, predictable "plots". Its not good. No tension, no emotion. My biggest problem are definitively the story and characters ... Im starting to believe it was handled so badly because the script was a mess to begin with (or began a mess? Was there a script?). Can't wait for strike witches this fall
  5. RU equipment sometimes is better than NATO one, too. Anyway welcome i'm also french,a movie was thought before the show started, but nobody knows now. We are "all" waiting for confirmation. I'm not so sure about it though...
  6. Ah, i understood you worked in Japan but didn't know you were directly involved, sorry Anyway, fun and bittersweet podcast.
  7. Cat's Eye ! My first love :3 I think you are right, i guess it was easier to shop in the US than directly in Japan.
  8. True, there were lots of contacts between France and Japan at the time and most of the animation was "respected" (well city hunter and hokuto no ken are quite special issues in that regards, but long story off topic). Usually we had around 4 hours of anime everyday on the first channel, sometimes more, Robotech was bought by the fitfh channel to try to compete with the first one, they usually had more US cartoons. To my knowledge Macross never aired at the time. "Japanimation" was huge. Lots of Franco/Japanese productions too. France was the first foreign market for animation, i guess i got my weakness for nekomimi from that period AAhhhh blissfull days French op of robotech: Sorry
  9. I feel the same, and i have the same background, Robotech (yes yes i know) aired in France when i was a child. I still remember when frontier aired how i was waiting each week eagerly for the next episode, and all the discussions on the forums... Im a lurker usually but this time i felt so... empty about delta, i need to participate little, catharsis i believe:p
  10. Podcast are more entertaining than the show A question for the insiders: Do you have any idea of what happened with the production? Kawamori doesn't seem to be directly involved with it for a long time now and since he wanted to do a non Macross show at the beginning ... If one would consider that the whole direction was taken out of his hands quite early in the process (and he left happily to work on "the next") maybe one would understand how we ended up with this lifeless product(s)? I watched AKB48 some time ago, and in my memory it is more Macross than Delta is. Will you do some kind of wrap up podcast about delta after the shows end?
