    I always felt the same. In SDFM, we saw the growth of cities & settlements built around crashed Zentradi vessels. It seemed to me that the duel took place in a city that was abandoned after the Emigration project kicked in. The main story evidence that I saw were: 1) No visual cues of the Macross during the dogfight 2) No remorse about the damage they caused, even when they calmed down & cooled off 3) Isamu & Guld have no idea about the concert/brainwashing until the Ghost arrives, broadcasting Borderline 4) An implied (although this might've just been me) period of time between the launch of the ghost & it's arrival with Guld & Isamu 5) And, primarily - in the OVA, ep 4 begins with Sharon's concert, and it's night time in Macross City. At the same time, G & I are entering the atmosphere, then have a battle at sunset. This always implied to me that they came in in a very different location. Although, thinking of it now, they'd have to be West of M City, which is in Alaska... Where would they be? IIRC, they reordered the movie a bit, but I only saw that for the first time a few years ago. Good analysis on the relationship between the characters. They're really some of the most human anime characters I've seen (at least in scifi), and really the most interesting of the franchise's triangles. Hmmm, thinking of it M+: Is there a deliberate similarity between Sharon Apple's emotional system and the Spiritia Absorption Beam used by the Varauta? Both draw from the emotions of the target by firing a tight beam right on the forehead. Just to a rather different degree... EDIT: OK, I just watched a bit of OVA 4 - the concert/brainwashing and the launch of the Ghost all happen at the same time that Isamu & Guld are entering atmosphere. To me, this is quite clearly indicating a different location for the fight. Sure, maybe they changed it of the movie - cuz when DON'T they change the story for the movie? There were several of them parked in the ocean on Rax in Macross 7. Notably, Fire Bomber held a concert on one, where Mylene used her song energy to ease some tension between her parents.

    So I missed the boat on the Hasegawa 1D Gerwalk, because I didn't realize it was a limited edition. And dang, it's gotten expensive... I've been planning to do a 1D Gerwalk conversion for some time, and have a 1D & Gerwalk kit to bash together, along with a Bandai 1/72 Regult. But I have no one to put in the cockpit. If there's anyone out there who has the kit, but intends to use UN Spacy pilots instead, I'd be happy to give Hikaru & Minmay a home in my conversion! And, if you need a second TV style pilot (from the stock Gerwalk kit) to put in the back seat of yours, I'll let you have him in return. Thanks in advance!

    True, but Kaname, Makina & Reina were all in the compartment where the legs would normally be. In order to vector downward thrust, the belly doors would have to open & the engines would fire directly where the girls are. The 22 was on a display stand. I presume that Arad just blew out the wall & punched it. Even if it skidded along the floor on it's way out, the 22 would achieve lift once it exited the tower.

    Does it come in red?
  5. Kelsain
    Yeah, that would've been cooler. Arad shoots out of castle & takes out AA guns. Starts swooping toward H, M & F. Then H tells the girls to jump Arad matches their velocity & opens up the 22's belly doors, as the other 3 singers hold on tight He scoops up H & F, but Mirage has drifted too far away! Nicely mirroring Ep 13, F uses her rocket skirt to catch M & get her back into the 22, as Arad pulls up just before they crash All this could take place in like 10-15 seconds & it would've been great!

    Back in Ep 18, when Mikumo went all super-powered, a circle of lights was shown powering up. I noticed at the time, that this was not the same as the fold quartz artifact that Heinz sings into. I figured it would come back later. Looking at the screen grabs on Macross Delta's unofficial FB page, the "head" or spleen - whatever - looks to have this circle at the center. Hmmmm...

    Ah yes, because we all remember that happened, 11 episodes ago on a planet we haven't even seen since. Sigh. Anyone want to bet that the next episode starts with everyone talking on the bridge of the Elysion?

    That's too much awesome...
  10. Kelsain
    Awesome!

    Padme's totally a space racist...

    Do you think they're even going to make it back to Ragna by the end of this show? What ever happened to our suspicious NUNS officer? They really built up Hayate's dancing in the first 5 eps - where did that go? Sigh, I really enjoyed the first half of this show, and was really excited to see where it went after episode 13. Well - aside from the repetetive aerial combat. Maybe we should have known when they rolled out the new, snoozefest OP. I'll stick with it until the end to see what happens, but it's definitely my least favorite Macross series. I've watched all the others multiple times, with varying degrees of enjoyment. I MIGHT give Delta another chance as a marathon series - it could hold up better without having to wait a week between episodes. But that will largely depend on he ending we get.
  14. Kelsain
    Yep, I'm out of that game too...

    Macross figures

    Kelsain replied to CF18's topic in Toys

    I just showed those to my daughter too. She hasn't seen the show, but she loves them!

    Actually, I watched the review for the Death Trooper. The leg proportions look really weird...
  17. Kelsain
    Still haven't watched this one. I think I'm waiting to see if anything exciting happens in 22...
  18. Kelsain
    I hope I like his character, b/c that's an awesome figure. Shore trooper & Death Trooper are must-haves as well.

    I can feel ya, man. I've been battling it myself lately. I know it sucks when you can't find joy where you used to, or where you feel you should. Feel free to PM, if you need to commiserate semi-anonymously. No judgement, no connections to real life - just shared geeky interests.
  20. Kelsain
    Are those for the cruiser or the attacker?

    While the little ones were playing Lego, my son (3) said his very rough contraption was the Macross. This made me want to throw my own together. Nothing complex or exciting, just a fun, quick build while the kids played. (null)

    PM'd!

    After seeing the trailer, I'm so stoked. It feels exactly like something out of our old West End Games RPG campaigns.
  24. Kelsain
    Yes, when it comes to timelines: (null)

    Edit: I've revised my estimate, based on the following height chart from the Chronicle/MW's FB page: The Elysion is about shoulder height to the original SDF-1, and the Ragna colony ship is about 2km long. Enough to fit a city center in, but not much else. Way smaller than even City 7. You can also get a sense of the smaller size from the ship docks, seen in the following screen grab from Episode 1.
