    When you first saw the character designs for Delta you instantly knew based on their appearance who would be the goofy character, the shy character, the uptight character and etc. When we finally saw them in action everyone acted according to their type. Through the course of the series some characters will grow. Some of them will grow just to be dramatically killed off. There's still just so many characters that some of them will never be more than an anime stereotype. Which makes them tools to deliver the stereotypical anime antics. As in the case of episode 3 some characters were only present to give an anime style reaction to the anime style antics. I can't wait for the mid-series drift when they dive in to the deeper story and the tone of things change to actually have some substance. Crossing my fingers that this does happen.

    I have a feeling every other new toy will be a VF-1 variant of some sort or another.

    Its still too high when you consider it is an just the 20th re-re-re-re-release of an old toy. Usually over time the price of objects go down as they become more wide spread. Chances are 95% of people who would buy a VF-1S Me-type 1/60 already have one.

    Just watched it and I gave it a negative vote. It just felt like a bunch of stereotypically anime cutesy antics. Like they wrote it directly from the big book of anime cutesy antics. Everyone is still just anime stereotype. It is all so cookie cutter. Maybe if you combine the traits of the 3 lead characters you'll end up with 1 solid character. The traditional animation isn't blending that well with the CGI. I think this episode was 4 minutes plot and 16 minutes of filler.

    The VF-1A would be easy for them to do. It just a new head. You have to create a entire new nose section and fast packs for the 2 seat types. The VF-1A is just a new head.

    At those prices I'm officially done collecting the 1/60 line. I already have that VF-1S with those Fast packs. In addition to the price there is also shipping. The 1/60 are at premium prices only. Which makes releasing another Me-type so confusing. Most collectors willing to pay more for a toy have likely already purchased that toy during one of its previous re-releases. If you want to sell toys at premium prices offer the obscure variants and obscure mecha.

    I love the Brownie too. For a canon fodder unit it still looks cool.

    Is this double set? Don't know if I want or not. I want them in 1/60 for my 1/60 collection. I've got one HMR VF-1 coming my way just so I at least have one. Don't know if want to get any variants. Every VF-1 is essentially the same toy. I'm guessing this line will alternate between a new mecha and a VF-1 variant. At least we know we are getting a 2nd wave.

    That movie takes place in the 1980s. They only had dialup internet back then and it wasn't widely in use.

    Wow Halley Barry who killed it as Jinx and Channing Tatum who is the greatest actor of his generation. I see a winner!

    I think the conflict might also be fashion related. Windermere got that whole aristocratic motif going on. While NUNS got their own thing going on with those flashy colorful idol singers. Windermere just wants to be in control their own fashion trends without any outside interference.

    Hey guys lay off okay? If I'm not mistaken she's actually from Japan and might not comprehend things exactly like you do. Since they're not doing any harm just let them be.

    I'm guessing UN has been in contact with others for at least a generation. The Earthlings living in places shown so far don't seem to be roughing it. They're all casually walking the streets with the aliens like they've been all use to each other for some time. A generation would be enough time to welcome UN Colonists to your world. Have everyone's kids all go to school and grow up together.
  16. Roy Focker
    Another point of interest is that all these humanoid races seem to share a common culture. Is Earth culture so strong that its colonist were able to shape alien culture's after a generation or two? Perhaps it that Protoculture's influence from eons ago that has shaped all cultures to look similar to Earth?
  17. Roy Focker
    Are the Wind people a human colony or a different humanoid species like the Zolans? If human than I'm a tad confused on how an apparent aristocratic society can spring up 60 years after the near destruction of the Earth on its own.

    Another neutral review from me. I like the pace of the episode. Much better than the first and there was actual story. The episode also downplayed super hero antics of the girl band. I'm not that keen on any of the characters. Everyone just seems like one-dimensional anime stereotypes. Still way too many characters for all of them to have time to develop beyond their stereotype. Maybe half of them get killed off half way through allowing the others time to grow.

    To market the music for public consumption?

    I just watched the Opening Sequence. Except for like the last 20 seconds where you see Valkyries flying around it doesn't have the familiar appearance of being a Macross show. Seems like the Opening Sequence for a few different shows all edited together to make one. I'll have to watch the entire episode later.

    Robo-Elephant & Chicken Legs.

    Either they die or retire to parts unknown. These characters an important enough to get their own movie but not important to be seen or heard in Episodes IV, V or VI. They'll have to disappear somehow at the end.
  23. Roy Focker
    Biggest problem with this movie is we all know how it is going to end. Spoilers they steal the Death Star plans and pretty much everyone is going to die. Unless they make another special edition of the original trilogy and digitally place them in the Death Star 2 briefing scene in Episode VI to show us that they were there too.

    Go to your local movie theater and watch whatever serious drama is currently playing. Even that movie will have jokes and light hearted moments in them. Nothing is ever 100% serious or silly. A few jokes doesn't make something a comedy. The 1st Macross series was never a dead serious show nor was it silly. It was right in the middle. Maybe it leaned more towards the more serious side because it was about war and nuclear destruction of all life. Over the decades Macross has move far away from the serious. This might just be what currently sales in Japan. We might not all like it. The people making it might not even like it but Macross is a business. Whatever version Macross gets them their key viewing demographic is the version that we're going to get.

    You have to feel sorry for the dozens of Rebel Alliance force users who aren't actually Jedi. They carry light sabers, use the force for good and other Rebels are all like "If only we had a single Jedi in our ranks."
