Major Focker Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 do the 5 VFs on each side combine and then duke it out mano-a-mano?
Jefuemon Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Yeah but the CGI still looks bad in those two shots. Or it was a low-quality source that I grabbed the images from.
Gerli Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 do the 5 VFs on each side combine and then duke it out mano-a-mano? YESS PLIS! With the Quartier-thing!
Dash Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) No. The young guy with the blue hair is our protagonist. The idols are on the side of the heroes. Versus the evil pretty boys. You better believe they're mold-milking the VF-31 and Sv-262 with those different color schemes. Is this confirmed? people are saying that Freyja, the girl with orange hair is the protagonist Edited October 29, 2015 by Dash
Raptor One Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) The blue haired kid looked like he was wearing one of Sheryl's earings. For a second I thought he might be Alto's son, then I remembered this is only eight years in the future. Trailer said something about Protoculture. Anyone with enough knowledge to elaborate? Those girls might not be the pilots. That Zentran looking chick with the red hair was in what looked like a pilot suit and she isn't in any of the images with the valks.

stray Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Sort of looks like a Tales game with Valks... I'm intrigued.
Sandman Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Or it was a low-quality source that I grabbed the images from. No the CGI models for the Regault and Glaug don't look as good as the new valks IMO.
Mazinger Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't concerned about the "boy band VS girl squadron" potential here, especially if it descends quickly into fan service and fetishism. On the other hand, the trailer showed potential. There was intrigue in some of the "concerned" looking faces and confrontations. I do wonder, what are the stakes on just one planet? How do the Zentran tie into the story? And really, my biggest question at the moment is, just how fast can I get a hold of something fan-subbed after it airs. I don't know nearly enough Japanese to keep up if the only source I have available it untranslated, but I guess we'll cross that bridge in 2016.
Ganbare Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Uuuuuh, I'm so excited about this. Sadly Mikimoto absent for character desaigner again.
Sandman Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I'll watch the raw right away and then the fansub whenever that shows up. If we get good valk fights against awesome music, i'll be somewhat satisfied.

Sandman Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Uuuuuh, I'm so excited about this. Sadly Mikimoto absent for character desaigner again. Yeah. You can tell the sponsors have had input into the show so they are going to go with the current trends.
Deadwade Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I think the main character is missing there is an extra valk
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Sort of looks like a Tales game with Valks... I'm intrigued. i was thinking the same... doesn't capcom make breath of fire series?
Zinjo Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) After seeing the trailer, I have a few points. 1. That green haired woman might be a 20 something Ranka to tie the series' together, since it takes place 8 years after frontier. 2. The new Regults have pelvic guns (?) rather suggestive for a kids show! 3. The new hero battleship looks like it is either a 2nd generation Quarter or perhaps a 3rd generation Macross Class Warship (hoping for the latter). 4. The setting looks like a colony that may have been settled by a culturally German emigration group, which might explain the penchant for castles and such. 5, The SV series fighters leaves me with the impression this might be a cold war or colonial secession story. The SV series of fighters are synonymous with the AUA or at the very least a government / military not associated with the NUN. 6. The VF-31 appears to me to be smaller than the VF-25 or the cockpit canopy is larger. 7. The character designs seem more refined than the Frontier ones, but not otherwise remarkable. 8. Not grooving on an idol group showdown possibility, but we'll have to wait and see. 9. Not grooving on the VF civilian color schemes. Great for selling toys, I get that, but a departure from Frontier. 10. Was hoping to see next gen destroids other than the Cheyenne's. It's on a planet, they should have more different destroids than that IMO. 11. Hopefully we'll see fighters with "UN Air Force" on them since this is a planet, not outer space, but we'll have to wait and see. 12. Loving the atmospheric battles, Kawamori did some great work with that in Zero! Edited October 29, 2015 by Zinjo
Gerli Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Text: The Tactical Sound Unit counters SOUNDFORCE IS BACK!
Reaction Warhead Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Kawamori said that no come with gunpod because have retractile mini gunpods by the way it is Ranka Lee? Looks like Alto/Sky end is canon. So, Ranka and Sheryl got together instead and mixed their DNA into a test tube baby. This is who we're seeing I believe. After looking at the Valkyrie girls, it looks like Macross Delta is going full moe in character design. I'm kinda disappointed, but i'm still going to watch it.

"Tactical Sound Unit" you say... No info on the composer yet it seems... I did like the music from the trailer
Graham Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I'm guessing the VF-31's forearm guns can rotate 180° on the forearm, so they can point forward both in Battroid and Fighter modes. Anyway as well as the mystery back mounted weapon pod(s), the VF-31 seems pretty well armed. Watching that trailer in the stream gave me the same goosebumps when I saw the first frontier trailer seven years ago. Loved the shot of the new macross floating in the sky. Not for me. Frontier taller gave me chills, Delta's trailer, is just meh for me.
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 screen grab from seti88 http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=43115&page=3 Mommar thinks it's twin cannons similar to the 29, i'm just glad it's not forced like the 30.

Or maybe this guy is Alto's son: I know, I know, it's only 8 year after frontier but hey fold dilatation and all that, right? (he even seems to have Sheryl's earring hanging from his neck)

Mazinger Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Antagonists Zero = Cold war MWF = Space invaders, endless war Plus = Artifical Intelligence 7 = Ancient adversaries, space vampires Frontier = Megalomania, an even more exotic, difficult to communicate with alien species Delta = A spreading illness? Culture and memes are "viral" so could Var syndrome perhaps be not literal virus, but an ideological one? Perhaps a statement on extremism? It would be an interesting reflection of the times.
Ganbare Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 Yeah. You can tell the sponsors have had input into the show so they are going to go with the current trends. Darn capitalist

(he even seems to have Sheryl's earring hanging from his neck) Blue hair. So either Minmay's grandson or Max and Milia got back together....if you know what i mean.
Graham Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 It has a name! VF-31 Sigfried! Wasn't Leon's call sign when flying the YF-30 Chronos "Siegfried 001"
Reaction Warhead Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 (edited) Wasn't Leon's call sign when flying the YF-30 Chronos "Siegfried 001" Yes. Japanese sure love them German name. Long live the Axis power i guess. Edited October 29, 2015 by Reaction Warhead

(he even seems to have Sheryl's earring hanging from his neck) Looks more like a fold quartz pendant to me. Minmay was lost to the stars, so unlikely her kid. Not sure what to make of the preview synopsis, but it sure seems like a double down on the Jamming Birds idea. Nervous, but hoping it is better conceived than M7's idea of magic song beams. The Var virus is a different take. Hard to say where that could be going... I am hopeful the Protoculture reference will give us another insight into the enigma of that civilization that is well thought out and compelling. It would appear to be in the vicinity of the Vajra home world where the new Frontier colony exists. A "kingdom" colony, is definitely following current anime trend lines.

David Hingtgen Posted October 29, 2015 Posted October 29, 2015 I really hope we see a VF-30. The -31 is both too different from the 30 and too much like the 25/29. I really just wanted a slightly tweaked YF-30. Just a few little things could have made it amazing.
