    wow, that's pretty damn powerful. I think the most powerful beam weapon I can remember from Gundam was rated at 79.8MW.

    Nope, I've watched lots of stuff, especially livestreams that weren't locked.

    (I feel like I was hijacking the other guy's thread, so...) Some of you might be familiar with the Gundam Mega Marathon I've been on for the past couple of years and I'm not abandoning it, but with the announcement of the new Macross Delta tv series, I realized it had been quite a while since I had watched Macross. Therefore, I'll be going on a Macross Mega Marathon, which should be a little less consuming than the Gundam Marathon. Don't worry, I'm not giving up on Gundam; I'll of course be watching G-Tekketsu as it airs. Anyway, I'll be posting my impressions here, just like with my Gundam thread. My thoughts on the episodes can be mainly located here: https://www.facebook.com/robert.hayes.5249/media_set?set=a.1060615947317072.1073741839.100001060297207&type=1&l=b7090795f7 It's current to episode 5.

    Was there any particular reason that they decided to give SDF Macross a live-action end credits sequence? And that they picked the scene where Misa is looking through Hikaru's album?

    hmmm, look a bit like the YF-30 perhaps?

    Is there much information in the Macross Chronicle concerning the Macross's main cannon?

    I'M BACK!!!! Since the new trailer for The Force Awakens drops tomorrow, I thought I'd give Luke his own VF-1. So here is Luke Skywalker's Red 5 VF-1J. :3 (line art courtesy of Mr. March of course.)

    EPISODE 3: SPACE FOLD Iconic Scene: The Macross space folds for the first time… and it doesn’t go quite right... Quotable Quotes: The Fold System has… disappeared. Best Scene: Probably Roy escaping with Hikaru and Minmay just for the sheer amount of animation errors Best Death: The hapless, nameless Reguld pilot who punches a hole into the Macross’s hull for Hikaru and Minmay. So, episode 3, the comedy of errors continues. Because the Macross can't get a break, Global orders a space fold... a space fold with the heretofore untested Fold System. And of course it goes wrong, stranding everyone on the edge of the solar system. We also get some signs of the UN Forces High Command's forthcoming douchebaggery. Also, check out this link for a gallery of screenshots from the episodes:https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... b7090795f7 EPISODE 4: LYNN MINMAY (stuff for episode 4 starts with the picture of Hikaru's watch) Iconic Scene: SPACE TUNA! Quotable Quotes: Tuna! Sashimi! Best Scene: Hikaru leaps out into space to get a tuna... even though he likely would have frozen to death almost instantly. Best Death: The tuna that gave it's life because the fold system malfunctioned and then became dinner for Hikaru and Minmay.

    EPISODE 1: BOOBY TRAP Iconic Scene: Hikaru's VF-1D rises out of the rubble. Quotable Quotes: It was decided in the Defense Council yesterday that once the Macross lifted off into space, if we were to ever encounter alien lifeforms, we were not to initiate hostilities. How ironic that sounds now. Best Scene: In this episode... probably Hikaru for his devil may care stunts but you know he's going to make big mistakes like this in the future. Best Death: The ARMD-1. better brush up on carrier battle doctrine. So here's episode and it's a great opener to the series. Not to heavy on exposition and we don't even have to be formally introduced to the entire cast. Since it's been about three whole years since i've watched the original series I love going through these episodes and noticing all the little details I never noticed before. EPISODE 2: COUNTDOWN Iconic Scene: HIkaru attacks! Quotable Quotes: Not you, you idiot! THE GIRL! Best Scene: The scene where Hikaru has to save Minmay in freefall. Kinda surprised they didn't go for the upskirt shot. Best Death: The poor schmuck who gets point-blanked by a Reguld. I saw the OTHER version of this episode for about 5 minutes in about 1998. It's what later gave me the reference point for what Macross was. As for this episode specifically, things start getting real as Britai's fleet makes the first serious attempt to capture tha Macross. Two things that i also mentioned in the pictures: Roy, stop worrying about getting some jailbait and go DO YOUR JOB. Secondly, where are all the Destroids? Isn't this what they were specifically designed for? Also, check out this link for a gallery of screenshots from the episodes:https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set ... b7090795f7

    An Unexplored Hangar?

    Very solid first episode and I enjoyed the characters, particulalrly Biscuit and Orga. The exposition bits with McGillis and Gaelion were a bit clunky but most everything else was done pretty well. Like many, I liked how we're starting off with the Mobile Workers and that these Gjallarhorn MS are very threatening and of course it was great to see Barbatos in motion and that Gjallarhorn guy get so totally owned. All in all, unlike the first episode of the previous show I found this to be very organic, dynamic and engaging. My faith is strengthened and my body is ready for more. COME AT ME, GUNDAM!!

    Because it's on Daisuki?

    For Macross's 33rd birthday, I present this little AMV I whipped up. :3 http://dai.ly/x38crk0

    I think I've already posted on this thread before but since it is Macross's birthday today, I'll reiterate: I had seen a few minutes of episode 2 of Robotech on a friend's TV in about '98 and remembered that the concept of a plane transforming into a robot was cool. Fast forward to 2011, the guys at the Gundamn!@MAHQ podcast had been reviewing Macross Frontier (TV) and the movies and I knew that the old series I saw was the original Macross. The ADV dub was available on Hulu and things spiraled from there....

    After Build Fighters TRY, I'm not too enthusiastic. Much more excited by G-Tekketsu. Speaking of which, have you guys seen many of Mari Okada's shows?
  21. VF-15 Banshee
    well, there was Valk on Valk action in 7, or rather Valk on enemy variable mecha action. Although I suppose you could say that was over 20 years ago...

    I'd be willing to bet that's when we'll find out who won the Miss Macross contest?
