The first 3 releases from Shinsen were definitely better than any of the rest, but they really blew it on episode 4. Seemed like they rushed it to catch up a bit, which I didn't think they needed to do.

I actually put out a few posts, asking the few subbers who have been posting here to take some extra time with their release, in the name of getting it right (accuracy over speed). I am hoping the delay means we may see the best Frontier sub release yet from any group.

It certainly sounds like the Galaxy is more of a, I dunno, city ship? Literally. High on metal, low on bio. Also, it does sound like that fleet doesn't any Zentradi on it. Makes you wonder about the state of affairs amongst the UN colonies (or however you want to look at them).

*cough* Eureka Seven *cough*

Spiritia isn't magic, and Anima Spiritia aren't magicians. And what happened in Zero is totally unrelated. The Mayan natives are different, they are there for a reason. Basara couldn't have shown up and done what Sara did.

We have yet to see any Ranka fan service, unless you count her bikini in Miss Macross.

e) One Eyed Willy!

Gattai has Ranka being one of the survivors of the 177th Research Fleet, AiA-IZ has her being the ONLY survivor... and, of course, we then see other survivors show up in episode 5. Its all relative.

What, Alto going from a student to what is basically a special forces pilot in 4 or 5 episodes isn't fast enough for you?

They've changed the "end game" more than once, and for a long while, didn't even have one. I would not be surprised if Hera didn't end up playing much of a role at all when all is said and done. Then again, she may play a significant one. I really have no idea at this point.

The manga and the anime are not 1:1. The manga is a slightly different take on the story. In the anime, they hid in the locker instead. Don't expect to see them in the valkyrie together.

Or there is something else going on that we have yet to see.

Rei goes counter-clock for me, but the dancer goes clockwise. And I can't change either one.

Its about consistency. Anywho, there is something else to it besides just singing.

I just knew Nene had to be the one with the pink hair.

Wow, nice pickup, I hadn't noticed that. I wonder, what did they do with it...

Well, I REALLY got lost when the Hybrid tole Starbuck she would lead the fleet to their death. For a few years I've had it all set in my mind, the humans creating Cylons thing is a never ending cycle. This has all happened before, and it will all happen again, etc. All humans were originally Cylon, you get the idea. I was so convinced of this, thought I had it all figured out. Now, I don't know what to think.

Dude, didn't you see Gunbuster? You always put big space monsters in tanks.

I'm even more confused after this weeks episode. No idea where they are going with this.

I agree, no more spoiler tags past page one.

Has to be more to it than just singing, or the Varja would be constantly attacking. Its just unclear, really. There is a puzzle piece or two we really need to see first before we can really nail it down.

Its also shown as Nome in about thousand places.

No, its called the Macross Compendium. And that history is canon. http://macross.anime.net/wiki/Before_1_BC

I miss the MFA. I need to start pushing that logo again.

I agree, KK is far less ridiculous in this episode... actually, she's not at all.
