Bingo. It's probably just important to know that Sheryl ended up on Galaxy.

If you're coming up with all this stuff for fan fics, how about using the fanworks section?

The VB-6 took 2 hits. Hit #1, port side arm cannon barrels: Hit #2, port side foot:

Bleh. I still have Macross goodies coming so it ain't over for me. And with Gundam 00's second season coming up this weekend, I only get a week to get ready for that.

Half Pack. Super Pack costs Kawamori too much. OR:

Guess it's my turn at this. Animation: 8 The animation inconsistencies bugged me but it still looked good (-1). The CG worked out really well for this show (+1). Being a TV show let me be a bit more lenient but then again, being a TV show means money can't be poured in every episode unless there was some major backers (that instantly made it a 9 to start). And since this being pumped out weekly of which mistakes have to be corrected in the DVD/Blu-Ray, that did factor into it (-1). Voice Acting/Actors: 6 None of the this really jumped out at me (-5). Megumi Nakajima was decent for a first-timer (+1). Script/Story/Plot: 7 I wanted it to be bit longer (-1). Like Shouta said, one thing I liked about M7 was the day-to-day view of the characters. The format didn't allow for this and I do wish it would have. (-1). I do wish that more time was spent on things like Cathy and Ozma digging into Grace and Leon's conspiracy, more about 117th fleet or Macross Galaxy, instead of getting only glimpses (-1). Directing/Editing:8 Action sequences were well done. I think some of the character moments could have been handled a bit better. I didn't like the clip-show. As informative as the clip show was, it was still a clip-show. There's a point where fan-service became a bit unnecessary. The last episode did feel a little crammed but I would say it worked. Characters: 7 Good but nothing that stood out (-3). I would have liked to see more day-to-day activities ("Miss Macross" was one of my favorite episodes). I didn't find Ranka annoying or Alto dense (Hikaru is the Girl-dense-King) or etc.. But then again, I wanted to see some more development among the characters. Marketing: 9 Things have been selling out. That's a good sign. But that's a problem, things sold out (I'm looking at you 1/72 model). And we got a movie coming. Music: 8 Hated "Trianguler". Maaya Sakamoto's voice just doesn't work for me. "Lion" was a better song but the animation usage (compared to the first OP theme) could have been better. The Ranka songs were cute at first but not really something I would really like to listen to all the time. It wasn't until "Ao no Eteru (Blue Ether)", that I really liked Megumi's voice. I liked how that song turned out. Sheryl's were another mixed bag. I absolutely hated her "live" version of "What 'bout My Star?". I think Ms. Kanno went synthesizer crazy on that. I'm glad they only played it once. "Infinity" was put to good use. "Northern Cross" as the ending theme was okay but I like the animation and feel to "Diamond Crevasse" more. One thing I really liked about Fire Bomber tracks is how each part stands out. I can hear each instrument and each vocalist. I didn't get that same feeling with Frontier]/i] I can still listen to Fire Bomber today and can still be used in Macross. "Goodbye Sister" really put that quality about Fire Bomber tracks to good use and I'm glad they did it because it worked really well. I don't know if I can say the same about Frontier's songs, overall. Average: ~7.5 (rounded to I would have preferred a bit more character work to cement a few things but I was, overall, very satisfied with this production.

Or perhaps the animators/CG artists just said, "No".

i.e. The same issues that haunt all transforming Plamodels/Gunpla. Just because you can transform it, doesn't mean it's a good idea. Watching that vid that was posted earlier reminds me of why transforming models are a "handle with extreme care" issue.

A) We had a thread for naming the VF-27. -> http://macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=26077 B) Questions like these belong in the newbie thread.

Just to show the extent of the Vajra's reach. They could have used Macross 9, 12, 15, 17, 20, etc... Now, people who have knowledge of Fire Bomber American, know that Macross 11 is origin of this band and the current residence of Lynn Kaifun. But that's trivia. It's just a random example of where the Vajra can go.

No. Both the Compendium and Chronicle maintain that Eden was discovered in November 2013 as seen in MF.

The overall shape is still the same.

I noticed this on the day it aired... The sniper rifle ended up behind the left shoulder, attached to the armor, so it didn't magically disappear.

What he said.

The Ghost V-9 just looks like a AIF-7S Ghost with a freakin laser on it's head.

veffidas has provided a AVI version of GG's sub in the first post. Thanks veffidas!

Of course Kawamori was trolling you people. All those who wanted to see Megaroad-01 again were Birla. When he closed the ring locket, that was a signal to those people who still want to see the olde triangle, "Nope. Not gonna happen." Just like all the other trolling he's done this series.

More character lineart. Sumeragi in uniform too. Trailer from the Gundam expo should be aired tomorrow after Code Geass R2's series finale.

Last episodes usually end up bigger than the others. If you don't want to to wait, download the subtitle file from their site or wait for the DDL.

Hobby Search (http://www.199.co.jp/eng) or RainbowTen. But most places are out of stock right now. Watching the transformation vid made me cringe. Especially with the torso. It looked like he strained to get the cockpit-area folded in.

I'm perfectly happy with Macross II being a Macross show, but not in the Studio Nue timeline. Just like Gundam X being a Gundam show, but not part of the UC/Tomino timeline. I don't see what's so hard about that.

It meant the thread specifically, but I know many people are here for something besides Frontier, hence the "or" in my wording. So DA is correct, you might want to watch those spoilers. Not everyone has seen it. Some people are purposely avoid it until a sub comes along. And Kronnang Dunn, some people can't watch it on Youtube because Youtube and other video sites may be blocked. Some people don't have the luxury of watching live streams, viewing online videos or otherwise.

Now that I have an HD raw, yep, it's a animation hiccup. BF lost the gunship when BG hit it. It probably put up a PPB to block the main body but it definitely lost the gunship. So having it mysteriously reappear at the end means they gotta fix it on home video, if they fix it. -I don't think Grace is dead. That body she dropped in there wasn't real. And considering she could just download to a new one, I don't think this is the last we'll see of her in this franchise. She'll "grace" us with her presence again. -I think Alto deserves an award for most damaged VFs in a show. -I find those who wanted a resolution to the triangle and were disappointed funny (yeh, I'm reading those posts on AS.com). All those people who wanted a resolution to this, English and Japanese fans, you should have known he would pull this. Time to get ready for that other big mecha show starting next week.

I have a feeling you're gonna spend a long time correcting people. I'll wait for a sub before I comment on the whole thing. Right now, I'm looking at an "8" though.
