    Initially, Kaifun is thrown into the middle of a situation he doesn't understand. He truly believed that if everyone stopped shooting and just TALKED, the war would end. His ideals are put to the test, and bend to reality, seeing him become a direct participant in the largest offensive of the war. By the end of the war, he KNOWS there was never another choice but to fight. I think it's far too easy to forget that, and project Kaifun the bitter troll onto Kaifun the naive pacifist. It does his character a disservice. Certainly, he's a complete toolbox in the end, and I do not defend his character. But it isn't how he started. He was, in the beginning, much like Basara, a man who believed there was always a peaceful resolution available. He just didn't have anima spiritia and a custom robojet-thing painted in the most ostentatious shade of red available.

    Isn't this the "Everything that isn't actually Delta news" thread?

    Well, the next show is going to star some of the Jenius girls, and we're pretty sure they get themselves into trouble a lot, but are good at getting back out of it.

    In fairness, a lot of actors have LOST their paychecks because they got typecast. If you can't find work, you don't get paid. And being typecast makes it a lot harder to find work.

    The barrel has no bottom, just increasingly firm layers of muck.

    I guess I need to get around to reading my copy of the book before filming wraps, so I can see the movie and gripe about all the things they got wrong.

    If 1 isn't the "no gun" pod variant, I'll eat my hat. (Spoilers: I don't actually own a hat)

    I actually did remember Emilia. Her appearance really raises more questions than it answers. ONE of their daughters is... a spacehobo. That lives in a cave in the mountains of Nowhereworld, population twenty-five(globally). But I suppose I should've said the TV series treats her as an only child. Also, dad Max looks just hilariously laidback in that baggy sweater.

    I think the reason I want to see some sort of Komillia reference is Mac7. Max and Millia returned, with a kid. They could've at least had a phone call from their eldest in one episode or something instead of play it like Mylene is an only child.

    It still didn't make sense why the rocks responded, though. It wasn't rock music.

    Quite possibly! I mean, he was hanging out with his personal harem EVERY DAY on the bridge.

    If the next series doesn't feature Komillia in some regard, I will be very upset. ... Well, okay, I'll be mildly disappointed, but I'll get over it. I'd just like some hint about what she's doing now.

    Having seen Fantastic Four 2, I can easily believe it's that bad.

    Also Millia - Max - ALL THE BRIDGE BUNNIES

    It hints that it will be a marriage of three unrelated series into a new brand. Macross Δ: Robotech

    Fuel level sensors. So they can be technically correct without providing any meaningful information in the name.

    I'm reasonably sure Fox doesn't care. I suspect they made this one not because they thought it'd be the next big thing, but because they were going to lose the rights if they didn't do something soon. Same reason we got the original Casino Royale movie.

    Said it was Fox's fault actually.

    This is always the best answer.

    Don't forget the unplanned atmospheric re-entry(that led to him raiding Alaska Base to rescue Misa). He was probably not coming in at an optimal angle for that, and was missing a good chunk of the underbody due to the arms exploding earlier. His plane DEFINITELY needed a good thorough looking-over after that, and he's lucky he didn't turn into a loosely-affiliated cloud of plasma on the way down. That's what an OVERTECH Sidewinder looks like, thank you very much!

    Do we actually know it's still Roy's old VF-1 instead of a new-production 1S badged with the old 001 paintjob? Because by the end of the war it HAD seen an awful lot of abuse. I mean, Skull 1 is the only one that's ever CARRYING a number, so it doesn't seem to be a serial number so much as a designation of leadership. Not to say I don't want to believe it's still Roy's, but...

    Though apparently Konami isn't refusing to pay out bonuses and mocking people that ask about it.

    They would've if he could reach the pedals.

    They actually call out in SDF that they're putting people in planes and promoting people faster than they really ought to be. Right from the start, the Macross is trapped behind enemy lines with a massive shortage of pilots and a lot of uncrewed planes(with roughly half of their Valkyrie complement having come from the not-airtight Prometheus). They need butts in seats faster than they can train them.

    Hey, it's not MY fault they're clumsy barbarians that don't know how to handle quality merchandise! Jerks were probably throwing it at the wall like a bunch of three-year-olds.
