Actually, I rathed liked the effect. BTW, I don't think those are misplaced sonic booms in the combat sequence. At first I thought they were perhaps maneuvering thrusters, but if you notice, you mostly seem them after one of them has made a hard turn. I am thinking we are seeing some sort of burst thrust effect.

I had an Ozma/Obi Wan - Alto/Luke moment there. "He is reckless..." "So was I, if you remember."

Well, I have the actual DVD now. Unfortunately, I see no way to watch this with subs unless I rip the video and add them myself.

Rotoscoping!

I thought something looked screwy with that RAW, the aspect ratio is totally off.

Ok, from the subs we have learned: That was the 12th Miss Macross Frontier contest, so we can assume the Frontier has been in space for atleast that long. The fleet that Ranka was on that was destroyed by the Varja was the 117th research fleet. This took place in 2048. 1,000 lives were lost in that attack, and the public story put out was the disaster was caused by a "fold dislocation" (Traveling through hyperspace ain't like dustin' crops, boy! Without precise calculations we could fly right through a star, or bounce too close to a supernova and that'd end your trip real quick, wouldn't it?)

Well, they're being piloted by OG Meltrans. It kinda helps.

The "head beings" are a product of a mental break, there nothing mechanical about them. Baltar sees what he does because he is batshat crazy (Moore and company have stated as much, on more than one occasion). I'm sure Tigh sees what he does because he's losing it as well. And no, Six doesn't know Tigh is a Cylon. Tigh is reading way too far into what she is saying to him, and he's not in his right mind to begin with.

The Macross is named after Macbeth, it is why I asked.

How do you pronounce "Macbeth"?

Yeah, she doesn't know.

Well, he still hasn't figured out how to do that yet. The hand drawn animation is by far this series' weakest link, and I have found it to be sub-par compared to much of what I have watched over the past year. Doesn't mean I don't like this series, I absolutely love it.

You do realize he goes to school to learn to fly these things, right?

So you want Macross Frontier to look like a 1980's animated TV series?

Yeah, but they're not nuclear.

Very Flight Club.

I have no idea what's going on. I've given up trying to guess.

WAFO FTW!

Yeah, too many people getting caught up in Macross 7 thinking, when this show isn't Macross 7. Using terms like "spiritia" and "sound energy". If I had to guess, I would say they are effected by emotional response. When Ranka screamed in the cockpit with Alto, they reacted and bugged out. This wasn't singing. If singing brings Ranka and Sheryl a great amount of joy, perhaps this attracts them. I dunno. In each series, music has been used differently. In SDF Macross, it was culture shock. In Plus it was hypnotic. In 7, it was, well, magical. In Zero it was, I dunno, a controlling force? Anyway, you get my point.

4. I haven't seen them use any. 5. The opening shows Alto taking out a Lobster with his gun pod. 6. We don't know that to be the case. 7. We don't know that to be the case. 8. We don't know that to be the case.

As I said, if the Protodeviln don't have anything to do with the Frontier story, I think labeling Ranka or Sherly as "Anima Spiritia" is just incorrect.

Doesn't make it Spiritia, and that had to do with her Protoculture roots, and her connection to the Aphos.

Bah, want subs for 1.01...
