Slight hole in your theory... Windermere's war of independence was SEVEN years before the start of Macross Delta.

A few months doesnt disprove my theory. The timeframe pretty much lines up.

There are more references in the series that indicate a connection too

It really obvious that the Wind Stus are basically poorly written Japanese Wehraboo expies of Zeon.

No, the windies are an analogy for kawamori at the helm of macross franchise

Macross = 34 years old

Windies = live to 30 years old

Kawamori is saying he had only 30 years to make the macross he wanted.

Also the 1st NUNS/windermere war was 8 years ago. Guess what was 8 years ago? Frontier. NUNS nuking windermere is talking about execs trying to nuke frontier.

The whole thing is an analogy for kawamori vs the execs.

Absolutely.

Doing Mirage justice would have been enough to save this thing imo but, alas, Kawamori is senile enough to think delta is a good product.

Definitely less than 15, maybe 5 or 3, but who knows really?

Fixing the lifespan problem altogether like some theorized would have been better.

I feel Delta might mark the end of Macross franchise as we know it. A shame.

They should have just call it something else entirely.

You know the Windermereans 30 year lifespan is an analogy for the lifespan of the franchise, which is 34 years old now right?

Its not a coincidence. Kawamori was saying something.

I loved it. Thought it was better than frontier or 7 overall.

It peaked early and the ending was rushed way too much, but i felt very satisfied that Freyja's arc followed through all the way to the end and Freyja x Hayate is the best Macross coupling yet.

Delta departs from the usual Macross style i would say, and I am sure this made many fans quite unhappy, but that seems to be the theme of this series: Delta means change and the winds (of Windermere) are changing.
