Just finished watching the raw first episode. I can't say I like it or dislike it. It took some parts out that made more sense in the Deculture Edition. On the other hand, the added scenes are quite cool and fun to watch. Not a bad deal. I just hope the DVD edit version (if there is such a thing) would incorporate best of both versions and made it into an extended version ala Battlestar Galactica's DVD releases. But that's just my hope.
The OP is growing on me. The ED made me cringe.
The BGM when the VF-171 was first deployed reminded me of the original SDFM's valkyrie scramble BGM. Very nicely done.
The new SDF for Macross Frontier is absolutely gorgeous.
and that is cool in my book.
Now that we've established Ozma's color is yellow, Alto is red, Mikhail is blue and Luca is green.
Can anyone confirm the length of Frontier? I think I heard that it was 25,000 meters long.
Now to wait for Episode 2!
