    As long as we still get a Macross release every other month I'm okay with it.

    Heinz, Roid, Berger and the Knights totally deserve to die. The willingly used the var. A mind control that sends people on killing sprees. They did this long before they declared war. They willingly use weapons that kills thousands in instant without a second thought. Maybe you can justify that it is a war and the NUNS is a legitimate target. What about the civilian victims of the var? I so want this series to end with Hayate going nuts and taking all of the Knights out in a brutal mecha fight. Freyja frees Mikumo who yells a sonic blast that explodes Heinz and Roids heads. There's no way to end this mess in 20 minutes. Instead I'm afraid the series may end with a big singing-sing love feast with Heinz and Walkure. Maybe Roid will die. Heinz and the rest of Knights will just learn the errors of their ways once singing heals their planet, ends their aging disease and brings love to everyone.

    Inches? Shouldn't their "gun pods" be in feet? Why is Laplamiz even on that list. She's a girl.

    How about a public apology from everyone who doubted me? I was among the first who warned about this series. I seem to remember a few others. I think they left after getting some negative feedback for sharing their dislike. You guys can come back now. Can I gloat now? Please let me hear you all say it, you were right. Actually I was wrong. My earliest negative opinion had to do with the preview episode. My complaint was that I didn't like the apparent magic girl theme in a Macross series. Maybe an all-out magic girl show focusing mainly on Walkure wouldn't have been all that bad. It least there would have been a clear focus. As a whole Delta ending up being a disappointed not because of Walkure but because of weak story telling and being cheap with the animation.

    Watched it with subs and gave it a negative vote. Was going to give a neutral. The talking heads just providing information was boring as hell. At least it was valuable stuff that we needed to know. If only they...I don't know showed us this information instead of telling us over the course of several episodes. That would have been a better way of doing things. Instead they give it to us all at once. I was still planning to give it a neutral and then the animation quality change midway through the episode. That's was enough to tilt my vote to a negative. A few spoiler things

    Okay so Super Max is the last mass market release and he's coming in November. Super Milia is the next Exclusive and she's coming in March. What's going to come out during December, January or February for the next mass market release? There has to be at least one more between Max & Milia.

    That's a good summary of most of the animation from the second half.

    Bryan Cranston! Yes invite him. He's done nothing since doing anime dubs and couple episodes of Seinfeld.

    My pay pal only had $19 in it after buying the Monster. Used the cheapest shipping option this time. Have to wait an extra couple weeks.

    Watched it all last week. Started very good. I really liked the premise and everything. Then at the half way point the series turned into a standard anime show. It didn't become a bad show it became a paint by numbers show. It was still a good series but it lost what could have made it great.

    Walkure are singing in their underwear with holographic clothes. I guess that could work in a climate controlled space ship. Windermere on the other hand is an entire planet that seems to only have one season - Winter. How are they not freezing to death?

    I'm tired. Tell me if I understand correctly. The Super VF-1J Max I pre-ordered was a standard release. The Super VF-1J MIlia is an exclusive and going on sale in the wee hours Friday morning when I should still be asleep because I'm working that day?

    Neutral Vote Stuff happens. There's story, action and good animation this time. This episode feels like proper build to a climax episode. The build up from the past 10 or episodes was pretty bad. If this episode 24 was the first episode you saw you'd be tempted to go back and watch the rest of the series. The pacing of the whole Mikumo plot wasn't handled that well. Can we just erase the last 10 episodes?

    Mikimoto character designs are good and so are Kawamori's mecha designs. I sure would like to see more of Kawamori's mecha designs. If only there was an anime series currently airing that features frequent use of Kawamori's mecha designs.

    What's the cost that $400 plus $150 shipping?

    After reading that poll and seeing Mikimoto as a character designer on Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress I decided to watch a couple episodes. Already half way through the series. Now that is a good series. There's good animation, great character designs, there's a large cast of strong supporting characters but the main focus is on the leads. Plots introduce in one episode are carried over to the next. There's plenty of action, drama and character development. It is set on a train making a journey while being chased. Doesn't that sound familiar? It has been done a lot in anime. Macross does it often. That one ship or small fleet alone in space trying to escape restless enemies chasing them. That's where I thought the 2nd half of Delta was headed. They escape fish people planet with fish people refugees. Delta at this point could have featured them being chased by the Knights. Each episode features a different knight as the enemy of the week to be defeated by Delta team. Then towards the end instead of running they decide to turn around take the fight direct to Windermere. I guess that's what they did but instead of providing us more episodes of action and compelling drama. They gave us filler episodes where stuff sort of happened. That Iron Fortress show appears to be doing everything right.

    Wait there's character, style and music in Delta? Delta plays it pretty safe with those. It uses the standard stereotypes in the most bland and uninspired way possible. The music is adequate but it is performed by a group of young and cute girls. There's always fans for stuff like that. Those results are from readers of a magazine. What is Delta's impact beyond those readers? What do the critics think? What are its ratings? Have they been going up or down?
  21. Roy Focker
    You know what Carl Macek would do with Delta? He say there's not enough action and would splice in mecha battles from an unrelated series.
  22. Roy Focker
    All post Macross 2 series had issues but where they lacked in one area they made up for it in others. Delta strengths isn't that stellar to make up for its weaknesses.
  23. Roy Focker
    The animation in the last episode of Macross II was lacking and it suffers from not being official. In hindsight after watching Delta Macross Ii doesn't get enough credit. Sure it is retelling of dyrl but all sequels are essentially repeats of the same formula.

    They'll cost almost as much as catnip.

    Hayate will pilot the VF-22 but only in fighter mode and will scissor hard with with Keith until one of them breaks a mighty wind.
