I had no idea what you were alluding to, really. The statement "the SMS's Macross 25 [Quarter] Battleship Steering Person." is not exactly clear, other than the character in question is at the helm of... something.

So, said character is at the helm of Macross 25's Battle section, which is under SMS control.

It's not alluding to anything. It's a translation, attempting to approximate the original text as best as can be in English.

Therefore, the people making allusions are the writers - either of the website, or the PR department authorizing the information.

FYI, the character is not specifically stated to be at the helm of anything. He could be the guy up in the rear hold of the ship, who presses the manuevering thruster button whenever ordered to.

We just don't know.

I hope this series ups the chances of us seeing a New Macross class ship in toy form sometime. I know it's not universally popular among Macross fans, but I rather like it.

Purty new pictures. Thanks Graham.

I agree the top view of the fighter is just displaying the beginning of the transformation sequence, not the final fighter mode form. Both previous fighter mode pictures (forward view pictures and the rear view pictures) show the rear fuselage as completely closed.

I'm glad to know I'm not the only one :lol:

I told myself I wasn't going to do this. Oh yeah, I'll just take my mind off it, occupy myself with other stuff and just casually wait till it is released.

But noooooo here I am playing through Eternal Love Song (PC Engine) on one monitor with TT auto-refreshing on the other... oh brother.

I love the VF-171. They look so space fighter-ish :) The bottom right pictures in that 2ch pic look great. The forward fuselage of the VF-171 at that angle reminds me so much of the VF-1 :)

WOW the recon VF-171 looks great. Thanks for the picture yellowlightman.

I'm glad that I snatched a VF-17 kit few days ago at Evil Bay. *Bwahahaha*

Wow. So many little homages to early Macross. It's a dream for us Macross geeks. Little oval trash removal robots, cola machines and a bit of Minmay-esque fanservice :)

WOW

I really hope they can keep the quality of this episode for the rest of the series! It looks like an OAV

Graham was right, the "ghostly image" was actualy the fold.

I haven't finished watching it but it has references to MOST previous series! (haven't found the reference to Zero yet)

:lol:

Sergorn: watch it :)

No. It's called making sure that you are conveying accurate information and covering all of your bases; and is something that one learns to do in university.

This is the original post:

I think it's pretty safe to assume that since it's a Japanese show, and most civilized nations are abhorred by the idea of private armies, that it won't actually end up being private defense contractors.

"most civilized nations..." "abhorred" Sorry (removed for offensive content by 'eugimon'), these are loaded words and you know it. And learning not to assume is also something you learn in university, but maybe you missed that class so you could take some extension classes on "how to use your knowledge to be a (removed for offensive content by 'eugimon'), on the internet 101".

Edit:: My apologies to Sketchley for immaturely calling him names.

Just saw it, awesome. Somehow it got the original Macross series vibes on it which is a good thing.

The CG is good, I love those Maizurus, Uraga and the Algenicus look alike B))

Can't wait for the next episode.

Wow, wow, wow. Speechless at this point.

I just love how they managed to reference every previous series without being overt about it. Also, the 2D/3D integration is seamless. Even simple things like the seatback screens in the starliner turning on looked beautiful.

From the scene with VF-171's launching, to the last frame I was on the edge of my seat.

thanks for posting the link! Animation looks pretty good for a series and I liked the battle choreography. I loved all the little and not so little nods to all the various macross shows.

OH! MY! GOD! :o

I...I don't even know what to say. That was EVERYTHING I love about Macross, only kicked up to the next level. The animation and soundtrack were movie quality. If the entire series is as consistent as that episode, I may have a new favorite anime of all time!

That seriously just made my entire holiday. A million thanks for that link.

Macross F = PURE MF'N WIN!!!!

The ending theme gave me goosebumps... do you think they'll keep it?

I swear my eyes were getting misty when that song came on. Even my wife came into the room all excited to hear it. This series is everything I've been wanting in a Macross sequel for YEARS now!

What link? I'm downloading the torrent from TT. Is there a quicker way to see some MF goodness?

Those stills from the special look awesome. I love the VF-171 scheme and those armoured valks would make the VF-1 fast packs feel proud.

If the rest of the series is anything like this, I'll be in heaven! April can't get here fast enough!

Like the others have said, the little homages to the other Macross shows is awesome!
