Purple being a combination of red and blue means that its slightly faster and the pilot is somewhat of a genius.

To be specific, jumbo super hot hotdogs = your date going all moe on you.

Personally, the part I find manly in Michel's demise was how he continued fighting even after he received the fatal stab. Although I believe I did vote for Roy (DYRL).

Too much Nanase on the brain. Maybe you should change your handle to Ai-kun seeing that it at least gets occasionally caught in a Nanase x Ranka sandwich.

Oh hush you fuzzy whatchamacallit, so I only noticed it now...

No wonder Basara went away in Dynamite, it must be tought keeping that many women satisfied.

Notice anything? That Valks colours are white and green.

Well, based on what we've seen in previous episodes, Zentran sized soldiers (part of what seems passes for their Marine Corps) usually seem to be assigned away from Colonization fleets. Off course, there really doesn't seem to be any impediment to armed Zentraedi near or inside a colony fleet as the Pixie Squad demonstrates.

If you think about it, that limo on the left is probably for parades only and the one on the right is his standard daily transport with all sorts of armor and protection.

Well, it's either that, or we can say that they all happened in alternate universes, which eventually leads to a series which ties all the universes together with two different Hikaru's fighting side by side, VF-25s in formation with VF-2s, etc. to be called Crisis on Infinite Macrosses.

Well, those boxy designs are easier to render. And if anything, these guys probably have fond memories of the 80's, back before Japan's bubble burst.

Speaking of gg, they had a release out for episode 20 this morning but it's gone now. Anyone know what happened?

Ex-gears are, for all intents and purposes, glorified ejection seats.

It's not that they're weak. It's just that their pilots have an unhealthy preference for pineapple salad and steak (all while calling valk pilots a bunch of superstitious idiots). Also, a few of them are blonde womanizers.

Very awesome indeed! Wasn't it stated somewhere that the VF-19 and VF-22 were operating at the limit of what was possible for a human without any sort of assistance (cyborg body for the VF-27, EX-Gear for the VF-25 and possibly the VF-171).

Dammit! So it wasn't pineapples after all! It was simply being a !

The only barrier to ultra-short range fold weaponry would be on a cost per fold basis. In the end, it may simply be that tossing bombs and missiles the traditional way is still more cost effective than folding them in. The cost of fold boosters could mean that its more economically viable to have a booster that you can use multiple times over than one which would be blown up part of a bomb/missile. If I recall correctly, the closest we get to using ultra-short range folds to deliver ordnance was when a certain fire red valkyrie employed a fold booster to deliver a very large culture warfare weapon to the bridge of a Meltran flagship.

IMO, flak cannons are used in Macross (and anime in general) simply because it harkens back to older WW2 footage of ships lighting up the night sky with a large barrage of AA fire which generally looks very cool and/or gives off a better sense of urgency then say a ship firing of a few SAMs to take out whatever does get through the fighter screen.

I wouldn't put Alto that high up, at least not yet. IMO he's just about on par or slightly below Ozma. Also, Brera ma have hax, but he's shown that he can out-dogfight Alto as long as the princess doesn't get the jump on him. Also, since we're talking about major characters, bottom of the list would be, not Kakizaki but Sheryl Nome.

Offer them steak and/or pineapple salad. and just in case, have some pizza and pineapple cake and play a few Fire Bomber songs.

You mean like this? Seems to be the victim of a standard anime theme, the more powerful a weapon is, the longer it takes to prep and fire - usually accompanied by gratuitous footage of the preparation/transformation.

That got me thinking, maybe Ozma had some leftover pineapples that he gave to Cathy, who in turn made pineapple salad for her dad.

Who knows, maybe they met in a Fire Bomber concert or something.
