wolfx Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 I think the Vajra have either captured or destroyed the main Galaxy colony ship. In the Gattai sub of episode # 6 at 09.20, you see the recording of the transmission from the Galaxy captain(?) and in the Gattai sub he says: "The damn bugs have taken Mainland! Please! Someone!" At first I thought this was a translation error by Gattai, as they are AFAIK, the only fansub group to use the word "Mainland" in this scene, but then I listened closely, just concentrating on what the character is saying and he clearly says "Mainland" in English. I'm guessing that Mainland is the name of the main colny ship in the Galaxy fleet. Graham Sounds like "Main Line" to me. Makes more sense too.

Gubaba Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 i have to ask, but won't it be easier to jsut use the english translation that was displayed WITH the chinese characters instead? As Shun said, they weren't clear in the first posted pic. Plus, how would you know that the English is the same? There are quite a few instances of the Japanese being different than the English in these types of things...For example (as Shouta pointed out in another thread), we've got the posters for Sheryl saying, in English, "THE GALACTIC SONGSTRESS," but in Japanese, they call her "The Galactic Fairy." By the way, there seem to be a bunch of new raws up...I'm downloading the new DivX 704x396, and hoping for the best...it's a different file size than the previous one, so I'm hoping it's better...

terry the lone wolf Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) The episode was good but the overall animation quality was not so hot(I think Star Date was animated a little better than this one). Though the battle scenes were some of the best I've seen so far. Also, I really wish they decide on a body type for Sheryl because its been very inconsistant. She goes from busty & robust to emaciated. I personally prefer the busty Sheryl. Edited May 16, 2008 by terry the lone wolf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gubaba Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 You have to say wrinkle, 'cause fold makes me think she had something growing inside of her that "folded" away. I had the same problem. "You know you've been watching too much Macross when..." What is good is that he drops that gay persona when things get serious. The true depth of his character comes to life then. I thought he was just that annoying character in the background, but that is not the case. Well...let's be realistic. It's kind of hard to act ANYTHING but dedicated to the job when you're piloting a largish battle cruiser like it's bumper car. Did you really expect him to say things like, "Alto~! When you get your cute buns back in here, you wanna feel MY Heavy Quantum Reaction Cannon~?" Of course not...just like Captain Wilder grabbed Monika's butt BEFORE the battle, not during it...

Good. I don't know about anyone else, but it wasn't just brightness/contrast for me on the previous raw. There was also an annoying little visual glitch every five seconds or so, and the sound was tinny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdf2501 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) Looking closely at when the VF-27 shot at Alto & Luca, the beam hits the leftover cabling that was holding Luca's Valkyrie in place, but also hits his gunpod so it's hard to say if he was trying to help or was just being an ass. Edit: Actually, looking closer, it's hard to say because of the lack of depth perception. Could be that he was aiming and missed because the damage to the cabling was minimal. Or he was just being an ass. Edited May 16, 2008 by sdf2501 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm gonna go all Isamu here and stand by my claim that you can't KNOW that the English in any given scene is the same as the Japanese until you check.

MisaForever Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Isn't Sheryl's outfit supposed to be a hologram? Next thing we see her taking just the top off... Well during the concerts, yes.

ackem Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Isn't Sheryl's outfit supposed to be a hologram? Next thing we see her taking just the top off... I figure she is using a combination of both holograms and real outfits. She probably changes when the outfit she's wearing is too different from the hologram or when she gets too sweaty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacrossCN Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Is VF-27 a mysterious Valk of U.N. ??? New U.N. mark!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 There has to be some kind of connection between Mr. Bilrer and the VF-27? pilot. The timing is just too convenient; the battle is raging, then the report comes back to the Macross Frontier via a relay and when Bilrer sees this, he reacts to it with his little ring thing. Next up, the purple VF-27 appears and pilot guy is zooming around like a blur on the battlefield. Then he "helps" Luca and Alto, but not quite. If anything of Luca's reconaissance mission actually survives into the next episode I'll be amazed. I'm guessing purple guy in the glowing cockpit was sent to make sure no one got any good information on the Vajra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Togo Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 He's right, it does look like the new NUNS insignia. It might not be, though, and its just the angle we are seeing it at.

raymond Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Is VF-27 a mysterious Valk of U.N. ??? New U.N. mark!!! Doesn't look like it and its way too small to serve as a logo, doesn't it? Aren't they used to identify ships' allegiances even from a distance? What I'm wondering about is the other markings. Is that Zentradi again? Or Windings? Or just the 2059 equivalent of those tribal flames like they put on sports cars? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Togo Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Looking at the scene again, frame by frame, if I had to put money on it I'd say its the NUNS insignia. It has the gap in the circle and the right over left overlap. Also, there is another insignia near the nose, not sure what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duke Togo Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 (edited) I am trying to get a decent screen shot, but when Michel sees the VF-27 flying in, it looks like the NUNS insignia on the top of the wing. You can also see it when it transforms and flies away when the Quarter pries open the Vajra ship. Edited May 16, 2008 by Duke Togo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duke Togo Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 Media Player Classic keeps giving me error messages when I try to grab these screens. You can see what may be the NUNS insignia just as it starts to fly infront of Michel (after the reflection in his helmet), and again just as the VF-27 transforms and flies away as the Quarter moves in for the kill. Its on the top of the wing. I could be wrong, and Kresphy could be wrong, but it looks like the NUNS insignia to me. It also has a new one toward the nose, wish I could grab a screenie of it.

s001 Posted May 16, 2008 Share Posted May 16, 2008 anyone noticed the VF-27's head looks like the YF-19's? And Man I wish I had those bullets on the VB-6 when I was playing VFX-2... Would have been a whole different ballgame on those missions... Yeah, they look alike. I just don't like the 'ear' type antennas on the sides of the VF-27's head.
