Newbie Questions on Macross


Recommended Posts

Quick question guys, at what time (US pacific) do new eps of Macross Frontier air?

The episode threads open exactly when Frontier airs (air times may vary from week to week) and you'll find that out in the first post of each episode thread.

I thought you played Aegis Focker in both VF-X games but in VF-X2 you were newly joined to the VF-X Ravens which would indicate to me he was with someone else in VF-X. I'm not 100% sure you are playing as Aegis Focker in VF-X though as I didn't play that, I just played VF-X2 and you are definitely Aegis there.

Thanks,

Try using this site mate. It lists the air dates/times of most anime's. Make an account and it will even show you at what time in your region it'll air.

Yeah, you are Aegis, part of the VF-X Ravens in VF-X2, but in VF-X1 they never give a name for the squadron (if there is one), and you are just "You". The designs show your flightsuit but your character's face is never shown.

I would also like to know this... it's like one of the most elusive pieces of Macross information ever, I have been searching for it for over 10 years. I think the actress is Neya Michiko, but I don't know if she is the singer too.

Have you checked the movie program guide for Macross Plus: Movie Edition/The Galaxy is Calling Me? It has the lyrics and titles for both of Emilia's songs, and there's some kanji above the lyrics that may include the name of the singer.

I don't have it... Do you know where I could get some scans?

I have the Macross Plus Movie edition DVD which has some pages of the pamphlet as part of their "Digital Materials" extra feature, but I think it's mainly only the MacPlus section. I do not know if the DVD of Galaxy is Calling Me has the missing data.

Thanks, LoneWolf... but the credits on both those songs show only the Composer, Arranger and Lyricist of the music, not the singer. And in the film and on the CD, the Singer credit has always been given to Emilia Jenius with Nekki Basara" or something totally unhelpful like that.

The other scan just shows the voice actress credit, which we already know is Michiko Neya.

I'm tellin' ya, it's the greatest Macross mystery ever! :p

Hehe. Yea, I am starting to believe it too.

and of course, thanks TheLoneWolf, for making the effort to post those pics.

Is there anyone who's subbing the special DVD extended episode 1 of Frontier? Because I can't find it anywhere.

No one has started, unfortunately. DVD versions really have no time frame since most people already have the original broadcasts. Most groups will not pick up DVD versions unless there is a push for it. It could be months before someone even decides to put out the DVD/Blu-Ray. Most groups focus on what's being broadcast now. Sorry.

I have a Question!

btw do everybody still remember the Promotion Video of Macross F b4 it's out?

There's a white VF-25 w/ blue/purple strips, is it just a "pre-prodution" valk that has been changed/removed or is it going to show out sometime?

It was just an early model it seems. By all the actions it made in the video it seems it was recolored and replaced with what eventually became Ozma's VF-25S with armor pack in episode 1 as the two make almost identical movements.

Dumb question but I actually need to know so I can finish my project, the song that was used in DYRL where Hikaru and Minmay are floating on the observation/super room as he tries to convince her to sing, what was the songs title? And in which CD track is it?

I thought it was Love Moment but it seems the second half of the song changes tone so it could be a combination of two. Any ideas?

That is indeed Do you Remember Love?. I forget where I got the song, but it was probably just the OST for DYRL, I'm sure there is one. It starts out the same as it did in the movie.

Moaramia joined dancing skulls in 2030. She was in her teens then so that puts her birthdate somewhere around 2015. Kamillia was born in 2011 so that would make Kamilia still the eldest. I can't really remember her story well but I think she was some kind of child prodigy meltran? Piloting a glaug at age of 6.

Okay I have a question, I have started watching Macross Zero and I happened to notice that the last name of Mao and her older sister is Nome. So my now for my question, is Sheryl from Macross Frontier related to the sisters in Macross Zero as a great-granddaughter or something?

ok so in a plot guess it could be possible?

It could be but without giving any spoilers if you haven't seen the latest on Macross Frontier it seems less likely and more likely that the name Nome, or even the entire name Sheryl Nome was given to her, so she may not be an blood descendant. However SK and Frontier have thrown us for a loop before so you never know.

It's never explicitly stated. But we could come up with a guesstimate :)

There are 7,500,000,000 personnel in the Bodol Zer Main Fleet, aboard 4,795,122 ships. Simplistic calculation of the division of manpower gives us 1,564 troops per ship. The Adoclass fleet is made up of 1,200 ships which would translate to roughly 1,876,800 troops.

Moruk LapLamiz's fleet is presented as equal to the Bodol Zer fleet, so you have the same figures.

Chlore's Fleet is never given a specific number, but the Meltrans are described as outnumbering the Macross 7 fleet 500 to 1. We'd have to know the size of the Macross 7 fleet to go further, but we don't. Personally, it's always been my impression the Macross 7 fleet consists of some 50-100 vessels. It just seems like they have a very large supply of Stealth Frigates, Stealth Carriers and Escort Battle Carriers and despite losing dozens of them, they still have more. So I'd say it's a fair estimate.

If we go with that assumption, you get 50,000 Meltran ships at most in the Chlore fleet. But it's just a guess.

No. RedWolf is referring to regular VF-17D Nightmare fighters that were green (or blue-green, if you will). They are seen in Macross Dynamite 7. I've labeled them "Teal" and included them in the M3. You can find them Here.

Oh, I see, funny that I don't remember those teal VF-17D ^_^ But isn't that just a color variation, since there's barely any upgrade on those VF-17s, unlike Brando crimson/purple VF-17S in VFX-2 which is equipped with a jamming system.

Btw, talking about VFX, does the Pheyos Valkyrie differs then the Varauta bomber? The Pheyos is developed from VF-11X mixed with zentreadi technology, does the Varauta using the same design for their bomber?

Found the entry on the compendium, that's the Northrom [& Grumman/Mikoyan] VAB-2. So UN-Spacy did have a variable Bomber before VB-6 Konig Monster. It looks like Kawamori was inspired by B2-Spirit for the design.
