Shun Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) Well, there is clearly written "117" next to "04 Global". FV yes definitely. but if it is a disguise, the external lettering might be copied as well, but then it makes less sense to duplicate broken dolls and vehicles inside.

LadyLuck® Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Well, there is clearly written "117" next to "04 Global". FV Saw that too in the HD, now I'm really convince its a "SDF-1 Variant", a Macross classship maybe named after Global(on some other translations, Capt. Global is spelled as Capt. Gloval) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole series needs to be seen before judgements can be made on it as a whole. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randalt Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Don't want to comment too much until I see a subbed version or a script, but I did notice one thing- Milia's name in the DYRL movie is "Milia 639" so, there may be a connection with the "639 Witch Craft" pill. It's more likely it's only a coincidence. I don't think the show's jumped the shark. If that were so, I would have zero interest in next week's episode. It ain't so!

Zinjo Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Feels like they are advancing the storyline too fast. Maybe, but if it's only 25/26 episodes, there are a lot of threads to clean up before the end as well as keep the audience's interest.

Aegis Focker Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) Creo que dentro de poco tomara un poco de lineamiento al argumento de la serie, por que como dicen "se la llevo el tiburon" ya que no se le entiende nada.. Espero y Esperamos que pronto se recupere, pero a pesar de todo sigue siendo MACROSS y lo que mas me gusto fue el WTF-1. Cada vez se parece a ALIEN.. Yes Ranka Are Sigurney Weaver!!

Master Dex Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Ok... I downloaded it hour and a half ago.. I watched it... here are my thoughts during the climatic points of the episode: "WTF!!!!! HOLY SHI...!!! WHA!!!!" My head is racing trying to process all of this, I have read everything in this thread so far, so I'm not out of the loop, but I just can't speculate, there is way too much to guess. I'm waiting for subs, no guessing for me (at least no posting of guesses from me) until I see subs... Get here faster Subs!!!

darkrealmbahamut Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 The Vajra seem like they were found initally not so much created. I got a definate Aliens vibe which made me think that Ranka is part Vajra kinda like Ripley in the last Alien movie. If that is so then it is kinda like she is calling them home sorta. Other then that this was brillent and added some cool new twists to the Macross Universe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkrealmbahamut Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 i'm not sure about anyone else, but watching the Global get destroyed just about brought a tear to my eye... But atleast it wasn't the Macross like some feared it would be. The Global actually looked in pretty good condition on the outside it was all the plants that grew that made it look worse. The inside on the other hand well definately a hive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taksraven Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Ok. Things I was right about with this episode. The SDF WAS a Vajra Hive. The thing we saw in the promo WAS a Vajra queen. Blatantly based on the queen from the aliens films but who cares. Things that I have been wrong about in the past. The voice in Brera's head WAS clearly Grace. That was NOT the original Macross. SDF-04???? Glad it wasn't the original, would have been too bad to see it trashed. Wow. What a dark and disturbing episode. The action was great. It was nice to get some Vajra action for once. It was nice to see the full Ex-gear armour again. (Haven't seen it used properly in this way since episode 1). I knew that Grace's holorock was some sort of bomb as soon as I saw it. Talk about violence. Poor Zentradi. What was the big deal with Grace's happy pills. Ranka's protusion has changed colour?? And FINALLY, to keep those complaining happy, did anybody see a certain Battroid appear in the next episode preview that people have been absolutely screaming out for. Next episode looks really cool too. I loved the way that this episode launched straight into the action, barely stopped, and then launched into another BIG cliffhanger at the end. More please.

taksraven Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Watching the episode again, I am going with this ship being a Macross class vessel (perhaps Macross - 04) named "Global". No reason for the vessel to be in the mode it is in, either, other than a cheap plot device to have a cliffhanger for the end of episode 12. Retcon FTL. I think that the ship was in attack mode when captured by the Vajra during the attack on the 117th research fleet. They probably could'nt change it into ship mode (or didn't care) and used it as a hive. Ha. I knew the ship was going to be a hive. Taksraven.

taksraven Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Oh yeah, about the Vajra, is it just me, or does this seem to be coming down to the Vajra being little harmless creatures than turn into these monstrous beasts when exposed to the energies of the purple crystals, which the humans are exploiting and perhaps even abusing. Quite possible. I think that the bug that scared the crap out of Alto and Ranka was a more mature version of her "pet". Also, did her pet seem to have tentacle arms that we hadn't seen before?

taksraven Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 So, now it must be pretty clear by now that Grace is the true bad guy of this show... She is one of them, but there are clearly more. Taksraven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taksraven Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 someone suggest puppet bodies, which sounds very plausible to me. I'll go along with that. Sounds very GITS, but who cares.

Sumdumgai Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) Alto's VF-25 with Armored Packs next episode. VF-171 Battroid mode actually shooting at something and blowing it up! Zinjo and I were right about the possibility of Macross Class vessels existing! Grace has tentacles! OMGWTF DIMENSION EATER! Leon is a dick. I'm worried we might see some characters bite it next episode. Temjin might not be coming back after all... And the biggest mystery of all... Did Ranka get to go to the bathroom? I loved the eyecatch. Edited July 3, 2008 by Sumdumgai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr March Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Well, the Vajra sure came back into the story with a bang. I'm still not sure what the hell happened in this episode; all I know is it was pure anime ownage. Wow! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
