Damn, I hope Deadfish have not given up on Delta.
Their Ep. 14 was released within the last few hours.

that the stated air wing of the Guantanamo requires TARDIS tech to actually fit inside the ship. The one for the Quarter *certainly* does, as the ship is physically not big enough to fit everything that the specs say it has.
Argh, I was just looking at pictures of this the other day, including a discussion of how to cram the Koenig Monster into the Quarter's carrier, and I can't remember how I got to them. Google isn't giving any familiar hits. Help?

That's got pretty significant ramifications: our heroes get $$$ for bullets and fuel, but they're beholden to new bosses.
According to the subs, Johnson states that their contract with the cluster government is still intact. It would be seen as a problem that the cluster government is not entirely intact (this reminds me rather much of several Hammer's Slammers plots), but it could be logically assumed or argued that at least one portion of the cluster's government is intact if at least some of Ragna's government took the sensible step of leaving aboard the Ragna Island Ship.
Johnson's description of the new arrangement doesn't explicitly state that the mining corporations are now their new employers, just that the corps are sponsoring them, and that their job is to reclaim the cluster. It would make sense that the cluster government would also support the idea of reclaiming the cluster.
Of course, some concessions may have been made, but if the mining corporations were already active in the cluster, their personnel and equipment would be lost to Windermere as well, so there's still a chance that it's a mutual benefit.
The point the on the mining corps is that sets up a dangerous precedence for PMCs. We have no idea if there's an rating/bonding commission for them or any recourse for employers to file grievances against PMC abuses or even vise versa.
Sidebar: I'm calling the depiction of the Ragna fleet's travels in the prologue "dramatic license" as it would be silly to send one fleet by itself way the hell out in a different direction than apparently all of the other fleets.
The vastness of the Macross realm works both ways; it would make sense for there to be a central authority that keeps tabs on all of the mercenary outfits operating out there, but it's a big galaxy and easy to disappear into. But on the other hand, unless an outlaw unit makes particular efforts to secure supplies, they'd have a rough time operating as rogues, since Fold communication seems to be good enough that they'd be shut out of support from most places within a few months or however long it takes alerts about them to propagate.

Instead of my trying to feed the moonrunes into the machine, can anyone translate the captions for the image of the Sigur Valens's bridge? I'm still wondering what those egg-shaped things are.

does this means: blue sea is ragna, desert sand is al shahal, snow is winderemere
Single-biome planets are so annoying. They could also be New Zealand, Tunisia, and Norway. Or Geonosis, Tatooine, and Hoth.

The Hounen Matsuri and Kanamara Matsuri are solid
indicators that Japan is okay with the, uh, wang. -
The following animation appeared on reddit. Perhaps NSFW if you're into giant robots.
Moving right along...
Episode itself was a mixed bag for me. I liked seeing more character interaction. But the ending here was an abrupt jolt from the seriousness of the ending to last episode. Not that the city's dire power situation isn't serious in its own way, but it got resolved in the most fanservicey fashion that they could arrange. I DID ENJOY IT, but they still are on the run in the middle of the cluster and we have no idea what they're going to do next, so realistically I should be more concerned about the actual wider goings on.

Newt
Which magazine?
Newtype.

On a related topic, this just appeared at their site: "Seems like most of our staff are coming back from AX, so everything should be done by tomorrow."

He didn't see the pussy?

To be fair, they're throwing a whole bunch of clothes in order to get where they're going. Maybe she had on more than was shown.
Not on the top:
It goes straight from jacket to tube top and I don't think she's unzipping multiple layers at the same time.
What initially confused me was her legs, but then I remembered that Mirage actually wears shorts and then has a fashionable amount of zettai ryouiki before her leggings.
One more thing: Her embarrassed face here is adorable.
And yes, this topic is a bit juvenile, and you can blame me for some of that. But the entire scenario was played off as super, super goofy, topped off by the Elysion doing... what it did.

totally random, spoiler-free inane comment... after yesterday, Zero-G Love is in loop in my head. HELPPPP!!!
There's always Grace and Leon's version of the song from the Frontier Drama CDs.
Yes, you should.
I'm probably going to hell for some of the other things that I've made with Episode 14 anyway, so...
Here goes. The two animations at the start are probably best.

So Mirage has been wearing that underneath her flight jacket this whole time?
And by "that," you mean "not very much?"
Should we go back and randomly insert "I'm naked under this jacket" as a caption over random Mirage scenes? 
-
Still no subs yet?
People went to Anime Expo, may still be there, and are thus delayed.
-
... even more new music (some stuff in Engrish too)
The "new music" is actually the full intro to "NEO STREAM."
-
I always thought that the islands looked like ticks. And this was Lewd Macross: THE EPISODE. Giant robot pelvic thrusts beat the hell out of random showering and Ranka's suggestive buns.
-
It exists in that Uncanny-Valleyish world between MMD and Love Live!:
-
The kick-ass "JUNNA shows off her English lessons" song appears to NOT be included in the OST and Walkure album so far?
It's there: "NEO STREAM" is track #6 on Walküre Attack!
-
Doesn't that get Jossed by the alternate video version of the Sayonara no Tsubasa end credits sequence, where everyone's dandy?
-
It is possible to enlarge Humans and other sub-Protoculture species via a miclone system, but presumably they don't get the same combat-enhanced biochemistry and anatomy becuase they lack that genetic trigger...
Isn't DYRL Max the only other time that they've shown someone being... maximized?
-
Gonna be neat to finally compare the official Bandai Visual subs to the fan subs we've been getting.
I wonder how much if there's being anything mistranslated.
This blog entry has been working on that here and there: http://karice67.livejournal.com/195157.html
Bonus question: If Freyja's accent was US-localized, what would it be? Midwestern? Appalachian? Is it especially weird-sounding Japanese?
-
how do you lose a supercarrier a kilometer and a half long?
Perhaps it was destroyed during the Windermere war, and the cluster is so far out in the sticks that NUNS never got around to replacing it.
I'll also present the off-the-wall improbable idea that the Dimension Eater was aboard the Battle-class when it went off.

Nice conversation during the Episode 13 podcast. I may have excessively chuckled during the Things Johnson Does part.
Fanwank for how Hayate can easily borrow Messer's VF-31 while still using his personal settings: Macros! Really... All of the pilots can have user presets stored locally and the flight crew just sets them up at launch. It's a reasonable development of all of the controls being on touchscreens.

there are at least six Aerial knights
There were at the start of the fight. When the bomb goes off somebody's Draken gets Kakizakied.

This series will end with him trying to drop a giant chandelier on someone?
Also, in the Episode 14 thread I was wondering if...
...the Ragna Megaroad really had gone off that far into space by itself. The map shown in this episode
does show additional mapped locations between the cluster and where the rest of the fleets are, though it does look like most of the Seeding Project went the other way.
