    Yeah got my shipped notice from Mykombini too. Kinda wish I got a 2nd Regult for the display. I hoping that they'll come out with all other Regult variants that I can make a squad for my Glaug to lead them. Last time I order from them by SAL it took 10 days (weekends included). Here's hoping it arrives June 6th.

    No shipping notice from My Komobini yet Re-watched the Macross Fever clips. Nice duel to death between Hikaru and Kamjin. Gets you pumped for the Glaug. I think the mecha action in it is better than what we've seen for Delta. In Delta's defense they are using the actions scenes to exchange dialog and to sing songs. All that takes time away from fighting mecha.

    Prediction: Once Captain Phasma softens up to Ginger Viking (I don't know anyone's names) he'll get killed off.

    They look cool and that means they're accurate enough for me. As long as they aren't sold together at the same time as an exclusive box set for $300 plus shipping I think I'll get them. A like how they release these toys one at a time every other month. That's easy on the wallet.

    Neutral. Very predictable episode. I was surprised to see that they didn't stretch being captured over 2 episodes.

    I would call an entire episode with the everyone disguised by wearing cat ears on a planet with cat people as one big visual gag.

    You know what would be ridiculous? If the Japanese Macross fans cared as much as we did about the smallest details. No toy line would ever make it past the first release.

    Really good work.

    I know it's like we want M&M! Here you go. The colors are off a shade. I hate you! I want to live with Dad!

    The original series also covered some universal tropes that goes beyond its time. Your current Macross is still built on a decades old property. Not counting the spotty animation it still stands the test of time. Could a 30+ year franchise be built on Delta if it was the first Macross? Who knows.

    Glaug is being prepped. Don't know this means they actually have the Glaug or just acknowledging my payment.

    I've been gone for the last couple of days. I want to make something clear. Macross since the beginning has always had comedic with serious moments. You can't claim it was always light-hearted just because 20% of the original series was light in tone. You can't claim Frontier was serious because 20% of that series had a darker tone. Some incarnations of Macross were more serious than others. Although Macross was mostly moderate in tone. It made a name for itself in the 80's & 90's by having the perfect mix of the comedic and the serious. It was a product of space opera mecha fans who represented their own demographic. Its most recent incarnations is a product of marketing and current trends. Macross fans may watch Delta because it has mecha and has Macross in the title but it isn't a space opera in the traditional sense. It is just another anime that represents what's the most marketable right now. This can still be fun to watch. Just don't watch it with the expectations that you'd expect from the golden age of Macross. Enjoy it for what it is. Don't enjoy it just because of its title.

    Face it they turned one of the greatest anime franchises into a comedic series featuring cute girlie girls. It can still be fun to watch (like this episode) but the Macross you remember is gone.

    Someone fixed my fixed title.

    Fixed the thread's title.

    There's always a chance that the people in charge knew they were on a doomed mission. The real mission could have always been in the hands of Mikomu and the mission we saw was just a distraction because no one in their right mind would approved the mission team that we saw. or The show is meant to be comedy. I'm somewhat worried about Mikomu's story. The more mystery that surrounds her continues the more our expectation for a great answer will increase. When they do the big reveal it will never be as good as the answers that we've imagined.

    I think the worst moment of the entire series so far was the opening scene of the first episode. They started in it with the very real world threat of suicide bombers. Everything since has shown this to be the most absurd, funny, light heart and silliest of the Macross series. If this series takes a dark turn again in the 2nd act it is going feel strange with the rest of the tone.

    So how much time is suppose to be taking place between the seasons? In real time the show's been on for 6 years. Events during the show seem to be at a slower pace. All the child actors are now all adults. How big is the world? Everything seems like a half a days ride from every where. What was the point of Rob Thomas stabbing that girl in the neck? Last saw her a year ago. Totally forgot about her. The act doesn't add anything to his character that we didn't already know.

    SDFM line first all the way. We need a complete set of Destroids and more enemy mecha. Most of the time if the mecha doesn't transform and isn't piloted by a hero it gets ignored by toy companies. Hi-Metal R is giving us collectors what toy companies usually don't make. I want to see them continue to give more love to the second class citizens of Macross mecha.

    Neutral vote. It was an actual fun episode to watch. There was plenty of absurd stuff going on but it seem like the creators were aware of that. In the other episodes it feels like they are using the "cutesy factor" to pander to the masses. In this episode it felt more like they were just trying to have fun and were well aware of how ridiculous things were.

    It's good that your wife enjoyed watching DYRL with you. Now she won't get too upset with you when a year from now she see how much money you've spent on these toys. I wonder if they might spilt up M&M. Making one regular release and the other as an exclusive. Forcing everyone to track down an exclusive just to have a matching set.

    Got an email from My Mykombini that the Glaug will be release on the 20th. Five days earlier I think then was first announced. Just 7 days away!

    I got a stand and ordered past the deadline. The toy and stand are packaged separately but package by the manufacture in the same shipping box. Everyone is getting a stand unless a retailer opens the shipping box to sell the two separately.
