After a Jenius, NO ONE is going be exciting.

So... No one agrees with me that the first spoken line of the movie was too arch and self-referential?

She's Mylene's and Basara's daughter!

Why isn't she named Nekki you ask?

I'll tell you why. She's a bastard. Why do you think Basara left his band and abandon everyone on the Macross 7 to be drifter like in Dynamite? This is why.

I'm kind of hoping that Basara returned to Emilia to finish what they started.

And, knowing him, he was gone before she woke up the next morning.

Did they get in trouble for putting subtitles on the Frontier movies?

No, but (as others have pointed out elsewhere) it could open them up to accusations that they're trying to market the films to areas where they don't have the rights, which would be infringing on HG's trademark.

Same reason Evolution Toys decided not to put English instructions with the VF-2SS.

The first spoken line in the film kinda pissed me off, for being much too arch and self-referential for my taste, but despite that, I ended up enjoying it a lot.

Uh... well... at least the mechs look cool.

a dude!? From the original poster looked like a woman!

excuse me a bit....

If the Delta BD's don't have English subs I'll be pretty disappointed.

Fingers crossed Bandai Visual throws us a friggin bone here cause it could go either way.

Do you really want BV to get sued...?

(•_•) / ( •_•)>⌐■-■ / (⌐■_■)

Fixed.

YEEEEEEEAAHHH!!

The Idols are all so cute...

Any idea if we'll get a crunchyroll simulcast?

Please, talk to Harmony Gold... Maybe you can get them to loosen the blockade...?

I wonder what other VFs will make an appearance in Delta. So far we do got the 31 and 262. Maybe something from the New UN like the 19 or something like it?

They've strongly hinted that the 30 will appear.

Phantasm and Pineapple Salad:

I did get a chance to read it, and I do agree with Richard...

With who?

Which is what I meant sorry. As you know the term is used a little more loosely in Japanese.

Anyways, even the barebones character description sounds vaguely El-ish.

Yes, you're right.

Well there has already been a precedent set for cyborg characters with the Musiculture so who knows.

Cyborg...? El was a full-on robot...

But this one has GREEN HAIR TOO.

If she were a cyborg, she'd be the perfect character forever.

Let's hope!

Girl with green hair! Quality confirmed!

Of course the guy with the Yuki Nagato avatar likes the emotionless hacker...

Yeah... the first one is not like the others... I'm guessing the reference is still alluding.

Also, an emotionless hacker girl? I'm guessing we're in for the most formulaic Macross yet.

Enh, people said the same thing about Frontier. I'm not worried. Yet.

So we got a hacker who's namesake is the electronic warfare variant of the A-6 Intruder? Lol!

recap of names so far

Freyja Wion-named for civilan code for Rannai Airport in Indonesia

Migumo Guynemer-named for WWI ace Georges Guynemer

Kaname Buccaneer-named for Blackburn Buccaneer

Makina Nakajima- named for Japanese aircraft manufacturer from WWII

Reina Prowler-named for the EA-6B Prowler EW plane.

Are you sure about that first one...? How is it pronounced?

Because Freyja's surname is pronounced in de jaamen vay... "Vee-on."

To put it more bluntly, if you don't do some major revisions to this chapter, you don't have to worry about the others... No one is going to read them.

Well, finally it's here. The first chapter of my story Macross Starlight. It's kinda slow right now, trying to set the scene and set up the main characters. I'll leave it to y'all to read, so i don't spoil it.

Let me know what you think, I'm kinda stepping outside my realm of expertise here. The only other fanfiction I've written has a bit more action to it, since that one's a bit more focused and specific. If you want you can read that one here at the bolter and chainsword.

To be honest, it's kind of tough read... I think the biggest problem is the lack of dialogue. Without letting your characters SAY anything, it just ends up a series of names and ranks without a person attached to them. So I'd suggest slowing down and letting your characters speak, first of all.

Slowly, had a lot of stuff on my plate. Tried to learn calculus, algebra in three different bases, formal logic, ARM assembly, and Chemistry all at the same time. That and working on another fanfiction, and building wargame terrain, painting an army, Keeping a girlfriend happy. Busy, busy, busy, I've been trying to do the story in chunks, but I'm not really happy with how it sounds.

I'll keep on ya, then!
