There definitely is a huge synergy between these 2. They seem to merge both their skills is such a way that the outcome is always (way) over the average.

For me, Kanno is THE s#1t in terms of anime music composers. Her works are always outstanding, and I'm particularly fond of her work on the Ghost in the Shell:Stand-Alone series, then MF came even to her GitS work. As a side note, I like a lot how Kanno seems to keep her "music team" pretty close, with most of the lyricists and vocalists working for most of her projects: Gabriela Robin, Steve Conte, Scott Matthew and Maaya Sakamoto, which gives her work a sort of consistency. I love her songs sang by Ilaria Graziano.

SDFM.

It started all of the rest.

Has the best story of all (heck, it may as well be one of the BEST ANIME STORIES EVA!).

Most non-hentai-mature-oriented anime for its time.

VF-1.

Do I need to say anything else?

There could have been both noise and deception ECM system going at the same time. With a false target generation system making for other contacts in the area the Battle Galaxy could have been 'strobing' it's stealth system, on the radar one moment and gone the next, there by making it appear to be just one of the fake targets.

They did say something about the Vajra using ECM way back epi 1, didn't they? So that may also have complicated things as well.

Yes,

enough ECM from Battle Galaxy + holographic projection + supposition that Battle Galaxy was missing + Vajra massive barrage = total confusion and lack of attention to details

Battle Galaxy may not have been totally undetectable to Frontier, but it was as unexpected to them that it was easy to assume that it was indeed a Ranka holographic projection being generated by the Vajra themselves.

Com'on, weren't most of us fooled as well? Even when we clearly had the advantage over NUNS of having seen Galaxy's bridge in Alto's virtual dive into the Ranka hologram

Huh? You've allowed a show you've never seen to ruin all of Macross for you...?

And, y'know...the show makes a lot more sense when you actually WATCH it...

Remember, Gubaba,

DON'T FEED THE TROLL

I think they just used that song because they like it so much. Plus, its pretty famous in their universe.

I agree and concede that's the easiest answer to it. But still... kinda bugs me and throws the plot a little out for me.

Still, an awesome episode. Enjoyed it a lot, was fricking screaming since the action began. I really wish the last episode gets extended air time, like... dunno, 45-50 mins? We really need that extended time to get a fully-fleshed ending with no loose ends.

I think somebody said that Ai Oboeteimasuka was the last song of Minmay before Megaroad 1 disappeared.

Any reference of it? Kinda remember something along that, but could a mess of my memory.

WAIT!...

I'm confused

Musuoka's translation of the conversation between Sheryl and Alto:

Pretty Sheryl-ly right about now but....maybe Kawamori is trolling again.

Kawamori is ALWAYS trolling

Well, DUH.

I'm not stupid, you know.

I predict Gubaba doing an NGE's Shinji on Asuka-like comatose Nanase

Subs all the way. Perhaps the only exception I remember right now is Golden Boy.

It seemed like

she just pulled his leash... Brera has always worked for Grace. Speaking of betrayal... it seems Leon is starting to see how Grace is using him too, judging by his reaction during the phone call with her...

The

dead S.M.S. lady at the Miclonization chamber entry was one of Michael's former lovers?

It seemed to me that way...

I wonder

what is gonna happen to Cathy and Ozma now? Will they seek refuge in S.M.S. or simply hide in Frontier's basement?

Yup, it seems Leon has realized he's close to ending his usefulness, and all that comes with it. And regarding Brera... dunno.... will need subs or at least a general idea of what they said to each other from someone who understands the language.

Was also wondering about the dead girl in Michel's arms myself, but everything was happening so fast that I didn't pay much attention to it.

Meaning she might be a Kakizaki...

WOW.... my..... what an episode... AND WHAT AN ENDING....

Uhhmmm.. maybe you would like this one instead?

Downloaded it yesterday without delay, but thanks anyway

Yeeeeesss... POSTER POSTER!!! The larger the better =D~

I'd prefer a BIG surprise and let it be Alto and Michel angry against the Vajra for LUCA's DEATH (yeah, I heat that childish bozo).

PLEASE?????

I mean, we've had our share of derailing from the preview summaries before... what better than a big twist on ep20's preview?

Okay I posted this in another thread a while back because for some reason I couldn't find this one so I'll toss it out here as well. So near the end of episode 18 when Cathy tells Skull flight to protect the ship and Michael has a line that goes something like 'easy for you to say, we might as well be naked out here' (not word for word, please no rants) I got that line from Aliens 'What the h*ll are we supposed to use man? Harsh language?' by Frost in my head as soon as he said it.

I get more the feeling of what Hikaru says to Misa about being all comfy in the control tower, instead of out in the field where the real deal was being done.

May have this drawing WITHOUT Ranka??? Pretty pretty please???

Ranka sorta gets in the way there

BTW...someone named KiNA ponted this out at the animesuki forums:

MAN-RANKA?

I may be wrong, but I think I saw a Man-Ranka :S

No, but seriuosly.... WTF?!?!?!?!

But I was feeling merciful and didn't wanna pop anyone's eyes.

WOOOOOWWWW!!

And I just received my special edition AvP : Requiem BD.

Hmmmm.... Need to think if I want that boxset in DVD or should I wait for a mega-super-BD-box-set.

I hated the first AvP, but really enjoyed (in a stupid sense) the second one.

Hey, I gotta grab for myself those extended editions for the Aliens quadrology. I only got Director's Cut's Aliens, and appreciated the extra footage. Some things make a little more sense, and with those extra scenes mentioned in the extended edition of the original Alien, sound pretty interesting. Not counting the fact that it's being YEARS since I haven't watched Alien as a whole again.

Great cliffhanger ending..... DAAAAMN!!!!!

No, but seriuosly.... WTF?!?!?!?!

<ended 16:29 CDT>

I thought it was kind of implied that wiping out the Vajra is the wrong approach to conflict and the hatred towards them is exactly what Grace and her cohorts want.

Yup. I think we can all agree on that. Also we can agree that the real question is: WHY?

Shito Ryu and Shotokan Karate while kid/teenager.

Been doing Kendo (ZNKR, sankyu) and Iaido (Seitei Iai, nikyu; Muso Shinden Ryu) for 6 years, but stopped training around middle of last year due to business travel. Stopped traveling but am in a sort of hiatus meanwhile. Plan to get back next year.

I must say I'm happily surprised that a good percentage of the folks around here have had any approach to Kendo, Iaido or both.

I have this crazy idea that Battle 7 will suddenly be taken over by Vajra and go rogue (a la that PS2 Macross game) and Macross Quarter will have to go against it. That would be awesome, esp if Ranka and Sheryl are on opposite sides for whatever reason....song attack versus song attack??

Its that red "visor" hence "evil robot" effect... PLUS the fact that Sheryl has the v-type illness and liable to go berzerk as well!

And just to support that theory here's a screencap from the OP scene showing Battle 7, Sheryl with evil red glow, and a strangely organic (hence Vajra) thingie all in the same frame....

The "organic" thing you mention is nothing more than Brera's damaged arm, as shown in episode... 7? The one when he fought the Hydra.

You guys need to cool off a little and stop seeing things in such a paranoid way.

Man! This page got me laughing so bad, everyone at the office had to turn and look at me.

Great casting call, when does the animation starts airing?

Assuming you're not sarcastic or joking, well that's the title of the new ending song.

Well, I wasn't.

So it is?!?! WOW.... I liked the song a lot, but hadn't bothered about its name.

Thanks
