Project Phoenix

I would assume all pilots have pockets. Probably because they couldn't do it in time with all the massive firefight going on. That was a surviving Galaxy escort fleet vessel that got shot. Not a Vajra ship. EDIT: Shinsen's raw is way better.

I'd say it stands for Special Macross Service. But here's a few on my take. Space Monster Slayer Sheryl's Mammary Secret Super Macarena Steps Sweet Macaroni Salad Spicy Mackerel Soup I can go on with the food reference but I'm hungry right now...

Now it makes sense why Sheryl hates Galaxy. It's so weird and has no greenery, no comfortable-looking cities or a decent pool of water. Plus, everyone is cybernetically enhanced. Very artificial. Now I understand why she is so excited when she saw Frontier has oceans. This was explained in previous episodes that in the 2050s there are many distinctly different colony fleets with their own culture and aesthetics. When we see the name Macross Galaxy, we were looking for fleets resembling M7 or M-Frontier. Heck, even the escort ships are different. I must say Galaxy looks organic to me and very unique. This leads me to conclude that some kind of political upheaval has occurred and the NUNS was created from this. I mean Frontier has a president that means it is a legitimate nation by itself but part of the NUNS. All M7 has is a Mayor although it can be said that is because M7's population was only 10% of Frontier's. I hope the Macross Chronicle will explain everything to me.

Hell yeah!

VF-27 Hornbill

I'd kill for a plastic figure of her. In macronized-form please.

Better not be some tree-hugging, kumbaya-singing ending by Episode 26. If I want to do that, I'd watch Arjuna.

So what is so special about the OST CD first press other than having a poster?

When I think back, the original VF-1 was supposed to be called Breast Fighter. So naming it VF-27 Nanase just makes sense to me.

RVF-25. Luca's recon type Messiah.

KMU Manila. Check the credits at the end.

I'd vote for that.

I was disappointed with SK twice. First with Arjuna and then with Aquarion. But so far on Frontier he did a good job. I hope he keeps it up.

VF-27 Blowfish

They should release a Macross Frontier RPG. There is so much subplots to go around.

Judging from the sculpt, the bikini is optional then?

Not gonna happen. As long as HG and its legion of misguided heretics exist, an R1 box set will never come into existence. Of course, if it does happen sometime in our lifetime, I foresee it being released as a premium box Set costing at least $2,000 each. If you have seen the Legend of the Galactic Heroes DVD Premium Box Set then you will know what I'm talking about.

Here's another one: - So that we can buy all the valks by Yamato and their repaints.

That's true. I have the VF-1J Max Chunky-Monkey as a b-day gift from my best friend 2 years ago and the thing still rocks! Trivia: I accidentally dropped it on my foot last year while cleaning and it gave me some bruises that lasted a few days. Nothing was broken on the toy and that is the power of die-cast!

Because there are Space NUNS with Messiahs fighting Red Lobsters.

I think there should be a third option: To each her own. To me, both are equally good and I like both.

Shall we begin a bet on which episode Ozma is buying the farm?

You can't go wrong with the 1/48s. But if you are on a budget, get the new 1/60 VF-1. If you are getting the 1/48, check the for sale thread, some of the members here regularly sells their inventory often at a bargain price.

I like Shun's explanation so much better. All I did was translate whatever that is on that scan. So much spoilers yet I can't wait to see it when the episode comes out. I'm the kind of person that doesn't mind reading about spoilers because I could block out my memory of ever reading about it in the first place. Therefore spoiler tags doesn't bother me at all. Looks like an eventful arc ahead. Thanks Shun!
