The scene that Dante pointed out really bothered me as well. I hope its not a sign of things to come with this series.

Just to clarify, our effeminate helmsman makes an appearance in the first episode, and indeed he was at the helm.

Watching the 2nd episode trailer, anyone have any idea who Brerastern is?

This is entirely different, Sheryl comes off as a total prima donna.

Megaroad-01/Frontier/Galaxy reference, circa 2031:

No its not, Keith. As I posted earlier: We clearly have some heavy retcon going on. Going over the colonization sequence, the Megaroad-04 is shown settling Eden in 2013, though the Compendium has it being settled by the -01 in 2013, atleast a year before the -04 was even launched. Also, the Compendium states that in 2016 "Megaroad-01's communications cease near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy." During the sequence, at that time it is shown to be on the opposite side of the Earth, away from the galactic core. By 2034 it can be seen heading off to parts unknown, but not toward the core.

Is it just me, or does Sheryl come off as a total spoiled b-i-t-c-h in this first episode?

I don't think this is spoiler material. Anyway, comparing the Zentradi insignia with the NUNS insignia: You be the judge.

Having watched this, I dunno, 10 times already, I'm not sold on the "X-Gears" (*cough* Ride Armor *cough*). They're rather... convoluted. I think they could have done better with the design.

Some more thoughts:

So, come on, only one other person was getting the MOSPEADA vibe from it?

Some thoughts: CGI mecha/ships were gorgeous, but the character art/animation was insconsistant Can they keep up the quality throughout the entire series?

Great, no one is seeding the torrent from TT.

I had no idea what you were alluding to, really. The statement "the SMS's Macross 25 [Quarter] Battleship Steering Person." is not exactly clear, other than the character in question is at the helm of... something. So, said character is at the helm of Macross 25's Battle section, which is under SMS control.

That would be rather convoluted. So we have the Macross Frontier and the Macross 25, and they are two different ships in the same fleet?

The Macross 25 is a colony ship, is it not? Macross class?

They run the whole bloody fleet? Well, so much for my paramilitary contractors. I hope we get more of an expaination for this than some 10 second voice over at the begining of episode 1.

How much you wanna wager its footage we've already seen?

Well, whatever they are, they aren't UNS.

Pretty sure he has Big West's stamp of approval, and whether its all canon or not is up to Kawamori and what he decides to retcon. Its 0% fanfiction, its all from official sources.

One thing that I picked up watching these discs, they all but totally avoid any mention of the rights dispute that went on for many years that held up the release of this set.
