EPICCCC!!!!!!This most epic dogfight ever and Finally Hayate become next Shinigami. Messer Going to be proud of you Hayate as he surpass you by defeating White Knight Keith.

Does anyone know where I can find certain information on Shoji Kawamori that you can't normally find in wikipedia. I remember reading somewhere that he graduated as an aircraft engineer and learned to how to fly a fighter with Miyatake at some point. I would most appreciate if you can provide links to it since I can't seem to find it here or through google.

Rewatched the episode with subs and was disappointed to confirm that Ernest Johnson's physical stature is inversely proportional to his talents as a soldier.

Ernest's prowess in fleet combat was of an idiomatic expression that really doesn't translate well into English. He was always fighting for the losing side thus the 100 loses in 100 battles title given to him. It doesn't necessarily mean he's a lousy commander.

For a Macross protagonist, so far he's had a very surprising track record of not totally destroying his Valks. The slightly used 171 from the beginning is probably the only one. He must be doing something right if his first Siegfried can withstand him not using the A.I safeties and joyrides. Strangely, it's mostly been been clipped wings and arm damage from overloading his pinpoint barriers.

.

He lost his VF's left arm and its sensor head was wrecked in Episode 8. Actually nobody in Delta platoon lost their VFs even Messer.

Everyone's sad that Messer died especially Kaname. Guess she did love him.

I wonder if Delta is going to be split into 2 seasons of 12 episodes each. This could explain why Messer is killed this early

Macross has never been a split cour series and has always been at least 2 cour with a single season airing. Delta should probably be at least 26 episodes since there are 9 volumes with 3 episodes each.

Also, Mikumo confirmed for squid lady.

Don't you mean jellyfish goddess? She appeared to be swimming with them during the festival as if watching over them.

And I don't feel sad for Kaname either, Makina clearly said that the loved one for Kaname is Arad, not Messer. The funny thing is that now with the dead of Messer she is surely going to be depressed and not going to be after Arad at least for a while, also Arad is now the #1 pilot in the Delta squad to be the next to kick the bucket.

It wont be anyone from SDF:M. Remember, always remember the taint that lingers from HG upon the TV series IP.

Though I don't believe that Lady M's identity is any known female character in previous Macross series I really don't see Harmony Gold can do anything to stop Kawamori from using them. HG doesn't have any real copyright to SDF Macross much less co-own the Macross IP.

Can you tell whoever is posting your horrible opinions on 4chan to stop?

That's 4chan. You can't simply ask them to stop unless it violates their own board rules. Complaining about them on that will just attract more attention and give them reason to post more including yours. Best you can do is ignore them.

Yet another Lady M name drop.

Is there an poll on who we think it might be?

Minmei

Milia

Mylene

Misa

What are bookie odds?

I seriously doubt its any character from previous Macross series. For all we know Lady M could actually be a guy and the title "lady" is just a red herring.

Looks like they are making up for reduced quality of music (compared to Kanno in Frontier) with sheer quantity.

Oh come on. I liked Frontier's songs but Walkure's were not worse in quality compared to it. Saying that they're going quantity over quality isn't a fair assessment.

Loved this episode! Go #TeamMirage!

Though.... >_>

No rune though. So maybe that's not Freyja's child.

Bogue and the Twins are also shown wiping out the rest of Beta Squadron.

Only one of them was seen being shot down. The VF-31A dodged Bogue's shot but then Theo and Xao followed up and killed him.

EDIT: Oh wait you're right. I thought they were just dodging the AA guns but were also fighting the other VF-31As. It was happening too fast.

Voldor (Homeworld of Voldorans, Invaded by Windermere)

Maybe we can call their race the Voldori instead. It sounds better in my opinion. What do you think?

He had a name and no he didn't make it.

I like that they didn't make Mirage a supergifted pilot from the get got, but gave her limitations, doubt and reasons to do even better.

I wonder if we'll hear her sing at some point if the flying thing doesn't work out

So a Siegfried got blown up, right? I thought it was one of the main characters. I guess it was one of the other platoons? And I thought I saw the Drakken pilot eject before he lost the fighter, so why was Hayate all torn up about it if nobody actually died?

It seems to me that Mikumo does spend a lot of time by herself. I'm thinking she's involved in higher level agendas apart from the normal duties of Walkure.

You mean like going out butt naked at night under a pale moonlight.

Thing is Kaname would approve of it as it would lead to the stabilization of Freyja's Fold Receptor Factor.

Which would make Messer look like a fool. His anti-social tendencies has made him vulnerable to Var.

Thing is Arad has made a team of misfits Messer included.

We really don't know that yet. Freyja definitely became relaxed and cheered up but we have no idea if it affected in stabilizing her fold receptor.

It also doesn't change that Hayate was still out of line for unauthorize use of his VF and tagging Freyja along with him in a time of war. I doubt Messer being anti-social has anything to do with being susceptible to Var but its probably because his killer instinct and thirst for combat like the Zentradi soldiers since they were easily subject to it.

Well I do agree with you though that Delta Platoon are bunch of misfits. Makes me wonder what the heck Arad was thinking in recruiting them.

You know, if Messer is going to give Hayate crap for not acting like a professional, it would only be fair for him to treat the Walkure the same way. For instance, Mikumo possibly breaking Ragnan public decency laws.

Messer has no jurisdiction over Walkure members. Why do you think he told Freyja that he would report the incident to Kaname? He took it upon himself to straighten up Hayate since Arad doesn't give a crap. And its not just because Hayate was acting unprofessionally but he wasn't taking his role and the whole situation seriously. And what the heck are you talking about Mikumo breaking public decency laws? Don't expect Ragna to have the same laws like the US.

Did Brera die? He was aboard the Vajra Frontier when it folded away with Alto.

I know he took an explosion to the face but his -27 was in battroid mode, and he's a cyborg, so...

Brera died in the second movie. He never came out and was never seen again.

And Messer chose EXACTLY the wrong words if he was trying to bully Hayate into resigning. He has either zero grasp of Hayate's personality, or likes him more than he lets on.

No. Messer knew exactly what to say to Hayate and neither was he trying to bully him. He was imposing discipline and straightening him out because he knows Hayate's personality which is an irresponsible and rebellious fool. No one but Messer stepped up to put Hayate in his place. If he didn't do what he did Hayate would be a liability to Delta Platoon and get someone killed if he continued with his antics.

As per SK, both Frontier TV series and movies have the same level of canonicity. Actually, IIRC, everything Frontier related has the same level of canonicity now, which, while frustrating for some fans, allows them to pull from wherever they ant to without issue.

So basically certain characters like Michel and Brera won't ever be mentioned or cameo in any future Macross series because each of them died in either the tv series or movie continuities?

I wonder wether vajra can be affected by var? besides, where are they now?

if winderemerean can control vajra, thats huge problem

Probably not. Vajra biology is far too different as they don't have brains. To control Vajra the singer needs to be infected with the V-type virus like Ranka was. Var seems to only affect humanoid/Protoculture-seeded races.
