:blink: whoa did they switch producers? I'm not complaining or anything, but it's just surprising.

It's called "budgeting your episodes appropriately". :rolleyes: Good grief I thought we went over this already...

Awesome looking episode even with the low quality RAW!

So many good moments:

- Ozma firing his big load Zero stile

B))

- The Monster is a monster!

- Bobby doing a gerwalk with the MQ = Epic

- Destroids!!

- Macross Quarter = "I'm Mr bigass Batrroid, wait a moment while I put away my huge shield so I can fire my über laser correctly". :p A bit "Super robot" but it looked cool anyways

Maybe the Macross Quarter was created to fight giagantic sized humanoid enemies face to face :lol:

- Not even a single cannon fodder VF-171 blowing up or Q-Rau action :(

Mmmh...

Folding back to Galaxy Space? Doesn't make any sense to me, since they were already in Galaxy Space... Also the VF-27 destroyed Luca's Gunpod just when Alto was trying to release his VF-25 from the "tentacles". It used some sort of energy weapon. It seemed it didn't want Alto or Luca to leave the Vajra Carrier... The VF-27 also escaped just when the MQ fired its main weapon at the Vajra ship. To me it seems that

the red VF-27 is with the Vajra (as well as the 2 green escorts that appeared at the end).

You forget the dead Vajra laying on the ground by Luca that surprised Alto. I think you can assume that it was the VF-27 that killed them. I forgot who posted it, but so far I'd say the VF-27 aren't on anyone's side but their own.

Could it be... Bera Sterne is the leader of a band of nature-loving pacifists who are trying to destroy all mechanical weapons? There's always at least one of those guys in every SK-directed series.

Maybe they make MQ that way so Bandai/Kaiyodo can make a toy from it. B))

I say they are decedents of Dr. Hasford work...or at least the same organization he worked for.

the alien looking non-Zentradi symbols on the leader/red VF-27

? If they are Zentradi/Human/NUNS/SMS/Bilrer/Galaxy/Greenpeace related... why those? :ph34r:

The logical answer is...

Protoculture... ^_^

Its not that simple. There is a UN connection.

Speaking of Mr B, what was with the playing with his ring?

whoops my bad hehe... i guess the colors kind of stretched out since the file was so small and made the color and faces all disorientated. But yes i know about this show budgeting its episodes, but because of the size i though that they kind of pushed it making me think that they switched to a different animator, when really it was my computer messing with it the size. Although after checking out the animators of macross i finally realized that NARA animation has been doing the animation for episode 1-7 except for episode 6, it was done by ShangJie Animation. again Sorry.. i really didn't mean to gripe about the animation thing.

The new VF-27 control interface reminds me of

BDI crossed with a ZERO system.

It was refreshing to see that Alto was channeling a bit of Shin Kudo during that episode :D .

Well... Sometimes the simplest answer is the right one... ^_^

Speaking of Mr B, what was with the playing with his ring?

Just like Grace O'Connor activates her implants when pulling the gem at her collar. I believe

Mr. Bilrer was recording/transmiting the battle (for studying/combat analisys/assessment purposes?)). Maybe Grace was receiving it? Mr. Bilrer seems to be a citizen from Galaxy (due to all those implants)... He seemed very surprised/amused by the Vajra Carrier.

:ph34r:

Btw...

I noticed that Ranka's belly glowed when she started to sing. At the same time Sheryl's earring also glowed when she started singing too & the one in Alto's cockpit shined too (what caused the Vajra Carrier to glow & stopped/slowed the small type Vajra)...

Macross 7/Zero connection there?

The only complain about this episode is the lack of VF-171, I bet Graham will complain the same thing. Besides that, this episode rocks.

What exactly was

Harmonica saying, apparently to Alto, inside the Vajra carrier right before the second hivemind bit with Ranka and Sheryl? Is he plugged into Radio Earring as well (knowing

Aimo notwithstanding to some degree)

?

Stupid torrent throttling... Won't be able to see this for another few hours! :(

I guess now we know what that fighter in the opening is. The way they cross each other leads me to believe that Alto and whoever is flying it are bound to be enemies. Epic dogfight for a future episode? :D

I dunno, going by Macross history, it wouldn't surprise me if they may be "bad guys" at first, but toward the end they end up helping the "good guys".

I don't understand why you all call the M25 "SMALL". It's got two freakin' aircraft carriers on it!!!!! :D

Hehehe, true, but I'm talking in context of the other Macross ships, which are 3-4 times larger. In comparison, the Macross Quarter is the small fry, but obviously no less lethal :)

Awesome episode, just wished I had a better quality RAW so that I can better enjoy the details of the battle. :)

Did anyone else notice the thing that protruded from Ranka at around 13:12? Whatever it was, it caused some kind of feedback and resonated with Sheryl's earring. Weird stuff that will probably be explained at some point, but that was rather strange.

Protruded? It was just a glow...
