    Yeah, the whole symbolism of Siegfrieds slay the Drakens was a complete bust.

    Ehhhh. I thought Herman deserved comeuppance for constantly talking noble ideals of honor and yet supporting every action of his government the whole time.
  3. SMS007
    Yack Deculture that's so meta.
  4. SMS007
    Has there ever been any in-universe comment about so many Zentradi adopting human-style names? (Chelsea Scarlett, Aisha Blanchett, etc.)
  5. SMS007
    How old can an individual Zentradi get? Are there any running around as of SDFM to Δ who remember the Stellar Republic era? Or are they all too young and have to rely on historical records?

    http://www.macross2.net/m3/macrossf/yf-25.htm Why does this YF-25 model have NUNS hull markings when the data lists it as an SMS craft? Speaking of which, when did it appear in Itsuwari no Utahime? I barely caught the half second that one appeared aboard Macross Quarter in Sayonara no Tsubasa. ? Am I missing something? When has Frontier NUNS fielded the VF-25? I thought all they had was hordes upon hordes of the VF-171.

    That wasn't a shot against the Manual; I was pointing out the Manual gets data straight from the source and it's not run by randos making up stuff from nowhere. That was indeed a gross oversimplification on my part. I apologize. And no, I wasn't aware the Manual had more than one primary contributor. I assumed from the lack of updates since the Frontier movies that it was just the one guy who ran the Facebook page and he was busy with some day job.

    Is this a genuine screenshot from Macross Frontier? I don't remember ever seeing a 25A close-up in battroid mode in any episode or movie.

    When you say obnoxious, do you mean that both Japanese and international audiences as a whole are in agreement on this? I'd be happy to know that Japan as an aggregate shares our view of Bogue, but you can't always assume when to comes to Japan. After all, TVTropes has a whole page devoted to cross-region audience dissonance on characters.

    The manual's information is largely copied from various Macross books. Do be aware, though, that the Manual's translations and romanizations are not of professional quality.

    Is there precedent for Alto, Ozma, and Isamu's YF-29As (well the letter isn't there in the Macross 30 game but I assume it must be the case given the existence of the YF-29B) to be the same model but have differently-shaped battroid heads?
  12. SMS007
    Well why wouldn't a special forces unit based out of Earth field elite gear? The YF-29 is supposed to be an experimental model; if everyone in Hávamál fielded one, then wouldn't that make it numerous enough to be considered a mass/limited production VF-29? Otherwise, why should Hávamál get stuck with inferior VF-19s or VF-22s as opposed to VF-24s?
  13. SMS007
    It occurs to me: from a realistic perspective Hávamál should have fielded VF-24s as their general model in Macross 30, seeing as they're special forces answering to central NUNS on Earth. And the YF-30 even broadly resembles the YF-24 parent design.
  14. SMS007
    Do the UN Forces still have separate service branches in the New UN era? I see all these "NUNS" markings onscreen in Frontier and Delta, but I can't ever recall hearing anyone say "Shin Tōgō Uchū-gun", only "Shin Tōgō-gun".
  15. SMS007
    I'm probably going to feel silly when I hear the obvious answer, but is there a specific recurring term in Macross for the head turrets on a battroid?
  16. SMS007
    Heinz claimed in an earlier episode that he wanted Keith and the Knights to end the war as quickly as possible, though. What a twit that he doesn't really grasp that he's been making decisions affecting millions of people en masse.
  17. SMS007
    Oh? What do these materials say Hávamál fields besides Rod's YF-29B? I know, right? The VF-27 needs more love.
  18. SMS007
    The tldr I perceive when activists get into the news now and then is that it's bad enough when governments get into military adventurism abroad, but it's even worse that PMCs are solely in it for the money cause they're corporations.
  19. SMS007
    Actually, Hávamál does too.
  20. SMS007
    Gotcha. I somewhat disagree on your last point, though. The fact that Heinz was utterly shocked when forcing Mikumo to sing the Star Song caused the deaths of everyone in the 47th Special Fleet was completely ridiculous.
  21. SMS007
    During the run of Delta, I read other people saying that the producers clarified Windermereans' mental development is only the same as that of humans. Therefore, Freyja's mental maturity is as unusual as it would be in humans and is not the result of being in the natural Windermerean middle age. Is this true?
  22. SMS007
    Sorry, I should have clarified: I would like to see something like the 727th Independent Squadron VF-X Ravens fully animated for television. Just reading about the adventures of Aegis Focker feels awesome!
  23. SMS007
    I would love to see a heroic counterpoint to Hávamál. There's a premise I can get behind.
  24. SMS007
    If they're going to pull the stupid and blatantly unrealistic "PMCs are better than the military" crap yet again, then can't they at least make it the hyper-competent SMS?
  25. SMS007
    I would say he tried but he was foiled in doing a good deed. And oh yeah, why hasn't the 2067 NUNS Brisingr VF-171 come out? Surely the capacity to reuse the existing VF-171 mold played a role in the 171 getting into Delta.
