VF-25 Messiah

I repeat... HOLY CRAP!

only 5 minutes in and Holy ****!

Quite possibly

There's a perfect way of integrating Macross II into the main storyline: Say it's a sequel to the in-universe movie version of DYRL, and there you have it.

It's already been confirmed to be a normal length episode.

No. Some site stated it to be 49 episodes in error, it has since been corrected. Episode 25 is the last.

I'm thinking it's a typo as well.

Except she doesn't use the word 'species' in that scene at all, I believe.

Except for the fact that his machine clearly has differences other than a different paint job. The extra gear on the legs for instance. Of course you're right in that the text doesn't state anything.

It IS Exsedol Folmo.

I'm more spellbound by the big guy up on top. Finally get to see a good big scan of him, thanks!

I'm thinking who Bilrer wants to meet is of a highly personal nature, thus low on the 'grand' scale. And what's disappointing about his dream to connect the galaxy? Galaxy conquest is higher on motive list for Leon than it is for Grace, who is more into the whole mad scientist way of changing the world, beating the protoculture by doing something they couldn't and being proven 'right'.

Global was referred to as "The 4th Macross class ship Global" within the show. Macross 04 Global. No mention of "SDF" anywhere.

Is that scale correct though? Somehow it doesn't strike me as being a quarter of the length of a NMC...

Don't think so, it has the same type of gun turrets as Battle Frontier, and what we see of its shoulder looks like a standard NMC type. So I say a very unique looking NMC, possibly with some unique technological innovations.

That's all fine n' dandy n' all. But I'm beginning to suffer from withdrawal here...

I wanna see Battle Frontier transform too... wee saw bits of the transformation in ep 24, but nothing that I would deem satisfying Kawamori taking revenge on all who complained about Battle 7 always transforming I wonder...

Oh believe it. It's gonna happen. Heck they'll give him an armored pack. It's in the opening even

More or less exactly how I saw it as well.

Indeed, as well as having, by the looks of it, huge bridge antennae. Also no visible 'window' that is normal on these bridges. Dying to see the whole thing.

was brought up 2 pages ago in this very thread. But I agree, it needs more discussin'

Quite lol worthy indeed.

Anata no Oto. "Your sound".

Next episode is the last.

Always figured it was the Dulfim. But it has me wondering, where was it until now? Docked with Island 1 the whole time? Who's on it? The original galaxy crew? Noone, and it's running on auto? Why didn't anyone notice it leaving then, they sure noticed the quarter quick enough. Doubt Leon would be so careless just to ignore it. As for it being Grace's base of operations, it seems likely. And you're not alone in forgetting it... but that's to be expected since we haven't really seen it in like what 16 episodes
