Due to Woman's Volleyball Grand Prix 2008 broadcast (Japan vs. USA), Episode 14 will be delayed by a half-hour.

Go do something else in the meantime.

Wow, they reused a ton of previous scenes/art in the first half of this episode. It doesn't come off poorly, but if you've been following along faithfully, you'll notice it.

If that's the only thing you noticed interesting in this episode, we're all screwed. :p

too bad one of the pixies had to go.....

yeah, we didn't really get to know about the other 2 Pixies...

:( maybe now we'll start to have more from the tomboy and then....

and vf-171 using the pin point barrier punch?!

why did Ozma take a back seat to Alto?! Seems like Alto was leading Ozma instead, and Ozma didnt carry any Reaction missiles... wth?

very nice ep. seems abit rushed though...

this ep raised alot more questions... >.<

Yeah but I seriously expected more drama there, I mean one seccond she was gone and the next scene we're breaching a vajra mothership.

And didn't Alto's vf-25 look hot with that armored pack on :D? And can anyone confirm if that VF-171 pilot indetified himself as diamond force shotai? I'm pretty sure I heared him say that

Really an epic episode! So much action!

The few bits of reused animation did annoy me but atleast we got some VF-171 love *POWA PUNCH!*

Im so curious to know what Brera says about Galaxy while Leon had that smirk on his face

haha... reused animation in macross F? I can live with it.... quite minimal, compared to to some other mobile suit anime where EVERY week they reuse the same animation when a particular Mobile Suit is launched.... sheesh...

Hm.... come to think of it... i don't remember what exactly happened to Michael after both of them ejected?

Hmmm, no new op or ed yet.

Anyway, what an episode! Battles! Lots!

The Vajra Queen tried communicate with Ranka through an image of her mother singing aimo?

(fart yeah! Sakamoto Maaya sings aimo, even if it was short. If they don't put that one onto an OST ill strangle someone :ph34r:)

Character deaths! (or what seemed like it) Is michel a goner? Luca? One of the pixies definately seemed to be gone

Definately puts a lot of substance to the talk of Vajra as an intelligent species... Actually the indiscriminate nuking of them towards the end left me with a bad aftertaste... big big mistake happening kind of feeling. Grace was right that about hate burning brightly last episode... Once Ranka started singing they began ceasing their attacks, but everyone was too enraged to notice...

Brera revealed himself to Frontier, having "Rescued the hostage and will now back up the Frontier forces"... Grace awakens in a clone body! Must be phase 2 in their plan.. (mutual annihilation of frontier and vajra?)

- vajra go boom boom. hope there's another hive somewhere otherwise i'm going to miss them

- 171 is the new cool. did they get a weapons upgrade or did they just fight better with their backs against the wall?

- looks like one of the pixies bit the dust. some of the vultures in the other thread will be disappointed there aren't more character deaths.

- luca's fate isn't certain. you think he bit it too? didn't seem like a direct hit. i wonder who will nurse him?

- they probably had to reuse a lot of footage and spent it instead on the huuuuge amount of rendering they must have used on all those ships

- so brera finally broke with grace? seems he acted on his own initiative while grace was still downloading herself

wooh! good luck sleeping tonight after that episode!

Woah. Still realing from the effects of the fold bomb from last episode at the start. The episode kept layering on the punches after that. Holy multiple oversized reaction bombs, batman!

Yeah, I was a bit shocked at the lack of development on the Pixy that bought it. Mind you, I was expecting Luca to buy it, after he said the magic words of "I've got something to say, and I'll say it to you after I get back." That's like running upstairs when you're being chased by a crazed killer.

I think Ozuma didn't so much take a back seat, as be blown away at the aggressive piloting and devistation that Alto unleashed. I think he didn't get loaded with reaction missiles because he was out ahead of the Macross Quarter, and had to fly back/he was leading the troops; whilst Aruto was already landing to drop off Sheryl. I found it a bit of a stretch that not only did Aruto have the time to get his VF loaded with full armour packs, but also get reaction missiles AND talk to the girl. Anime physics affecting the passage of time anyone?

And yes, still blown away at the high pace of the episode. It was one of those "hey, did what I think it did just happen?" Followed by another dozen or so of those.

Wish I could've seen the episode live, will wait for RAW I guess.

So, to no one's surprise, Grace lives. How will she explain her resurrection to Sheryl, unless she can somehow argue that she left the planet before hand, or is it well known that Grace has other bodies. And Grace is Ranka's mommy? Talk about a conflict of interest here

As for Sheryl, from the screen shots posted, all I can say is poor Sheryl, looks like she's on the downhill path for a while.

If Ozama is getting his pineapple salad, then it make sense to reduce his role for a bit, same thing happened to the previous recipient of the salad where there wasn't much part for him, and then just like that, he's gone.

Can't wait for the subbed version.

Pity that alot of characters too the back seat during the battle. Canaria and Ozma notably. And i was so glad Luca didn't confess yet.....he was THIIISSSS close to dying.

:lol: And poor Maria. She didn't have any lines, and I was hoping she'll get some. Sigh.

He was picked up by Luca, and presumably dropped off on the carrier at the same time as Sheryl was.
