Solidus Snake

Delta as a show just keeps growing for me, and this episode highlights why. It's always great to see any episode where characters can sit back and

One thing that I do wish this episode would have done was give more lines and colour to Mirage. Right now she's a cardboard box, but oh well, I guess that will have to wait.

Trailer for anyone who missed it.

That trailer was beautiful. December can't come soon enough.

The VF-31 looks beautiful.

Just got home. What have I missed so far?

I hope Macross Delta is about hipsters...Macross needs a story about trust fund babies and their struggles living in Brooklyn...I mean in a dirty, but upscale macross colony with a lot of "character".

You mean like how Leon used Ranka in the TV series?

Kinda, but I felt Jamming Bird was a better example since they were created by the military, where as Leon took an already formed idol and used her for government work. Would like to see a Macross series where the government effectively runs the whole idol/music process.

Just when I had given hope for another series in whatever format for another 3-4 years at least this news comes thru.

I know, right? I just finished rewatching Frontier over Spring Break, and when I got done, all I could think of was, "we're not getting a new Macross anytime soon?" Glad to be wrong. My Macross itch has been itching badly of late.

Here's hoping for M7 references. If just to give the forums a chance to spontaneously burst into singing Totsugeki Love Heart like we used to back in 2008.

I'm hoping we get more references from Plus. We didn't get enough during Frontier.

The Idol concept is a key part to the series,it'll never leave the show. They could scale back as MacF was very Idol focused. If they go back to say Minmay levels that would be perfect. good amount of songs with equally good amount of drama,action and tension,perfect balance.

I hope that they make the whole idol thing to be something bad. Like the government controlling how idols are made and marketed and used. Kind of like what they did with Jamming Birds, but this time sinister.

Well I am more than excited for this.

Wow my feelings are so split right now. First of all I'm extremely happy these films get subbed releases. This is sheer awesomeness. For one this is first time Macross title has got new official subs in a loooooong time (excluding Plus awfulness, but that doesn't really count because Plus isn't "new" title to get English release). Second the films were great so I don't mind buying them per se. Third this might imply more subbed releases in future.

On the other hand I feel considerable irritation for them not doing subbed releases in the first place. Now I have to buy film BDs again and the horrid japanese prices aren't exactly cheap.

Considering I just shelved 250 euros on the tv series BD box + shipping I'm not exactly looking forward to fulfilling my fan "obligations" all over again. Especially since there's no quality guarantee for the subs present. They might be just as bad as those for Macross Plus film.

Tochiro, weren't those film subs new? They significantly differ from ones I remember seeing on DVD back in the day. "Bromance" wtf.

I know exactly how you feel. I already bought Sayonara no Tsubasa, but here I am going to buy it again just for the subs. Oh well, it could be worse I guess.

Wow, I'm really shocked by this news. Didn't see it coming. I hope she comes back to singing because I love her voice.

Okay, now I'm really excited. On a side note, it'll be interesting to see if this goes with the film's or the tv series's timeline...or if it just takes place in an undetermined point in the Frontier story

I've started Re-watching SDF. Plan on rewatching them all by New Year. And then when New Year hits, rewatch Flashback 2012

I'm excited. Time to spend more money on macross!

I would no doubt be Anti-UN all the way. De-centralized power structures is the way to go and every nation should be responsible for defending their region of "space" from alien invaders IMO.

Do recall that not everyone in the Anti-UN were for de-centralisation.

it still looks tasty after all these years

Wow, that quality looks amazing.

Wow. (in a disappointed way)

After telling ppl about it, AND having a discussion with TehPW about it, most people still aren't aware of the recently translated information on the subject.

Thanks for this.

Um.... the UN? First of all, they have Valks. Secondly, I don't recall the UN fire-bombing an island full of peaceful villagers or killing the crew of a Mars research base.

Didn't the UN also possibly do some bad stuff? Nora seems really hateful towards them.

Meh, I'm not bothered by the change. It's going to happen. Macross can't be stuck in the 80s and each Macross entry offers something new and something different and isn't just a rehash of the same ideas like a certain other franchise that I enjoy as much as I do Macross.

I don't know if this has been asked, but I was recently watching Macross Zero and, apart from the fact that hero (Shin) is part of of the UN forces, I've always wondered: which side would I support if there was a similar war with a similar cause (giant spaceship comes crashing down to Earth). Would you have supported the UN forces or the Anti-UN forces?

I can't wait to watch this on my telly.

Very sad news.

I'm highly disappointed that the 30th anniversary is not a series about a Meltran hipster and her idol otaku brother who move to the Macross 33 and start an indie band. Damn you, Kawamori.

No, I don't think so. Macross the First is more than good enough. I would like for them to do other stuff and bring new ideas--like a hipster meltran and her zentran brother that's an idol otaku decide to runaway from home because their parents want them to join the military; and instead, they go to the Macross 33 aka Williamsburg and start a indie band called Yak! Deculture. Unfortunately for them, their flatmate is a straightlace pilot who's in love with the classics "minmay, firebomber and sharon apple" and can't stand this "new sound." He doesn't see any "culture" in it.

Oh and it'll star Maaya Sakamoto

LOL,

Gotta go with the VF-22. I'm a big fan of the F-23 design. Speaking of which, I wish they'd model a VF after the F/A 18 super hornet
