JustinStrife Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I'd have not killed off Galaxy at the very least. Save up for a Season 2 and really take your time finishing the story. Don't half-ass it like they did. It's not like they'd be hurting for money with how successful this show is being merchandise wise. I don't mind another season or OVA's to get it done properly. It was rushed too fast and they tried to tie everything up in one shot. It just didn't work.
aerocombatpilot Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Just noticed something; are there people living on this planet?
505thAirborne Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 His VF stopped between both Bridges. He saluted both. Thank you VF-25!!! I knew I saw it that way too, just rewatched it to be certain!!!
cyde01 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Episode Review with some stuff not yet mentioned. -Ranka explains to Alto that the Vajra also have feelings, but they don’t understand why we fight each other so much so they tried to rescue/kidnap her in order to understand humans. Thanks to hers and Sheryl’s songs, the Vajra have finally understood us. not quite. here's a better translation: ranka explains that the vajra think and feel as one, and they couldn't understand why humans are so independent, scattered, and sometimes quarrel some. because ranka had fold communications ability, they considered her similar to themselves and kept trying to rescue her from the humans which they did not understand. thanks to her and sheryl having different songs, they finally understood that this sense of individuality in humans is not necessarily a bad thing and that humans weren't all bad.
twilighthack Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Thank you VF-25!!! I knew I saw it that way too, just rewatched it to be certain!!! I watched it again as well. Could you please tell me how you got that he saluted both... when he was right next to Battle Frontier's bridge with Quarter in the distant background? The VF isn't THAT big.

Chronocidal Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Good grief people, this isn't worth that much of a debate.. Considering the salute was straight toward the camera, you might as well say he was saluting the fans. Edited September 26, 2008 by Chronocidal
RedWolf Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Just noticed something; are there people living on this planet? Used to be. Saw a Mayan statue of the Birdman. Like "The Protoculture was here" or "Shin Kudo, Sara Nome and Birdman was here". Bilrer was expecting to find Minmay. LOL
Hiriyu Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I salute you, Chronocidal.... Or was it Eugimon?
SymphonicRain Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Negative (I waited 25 weeks just for this... crap?) [ God. I felt utterly trolled by Kawamori. Seriously, WTF is this ending!? I'm expecting a second season or sort to wrap up the series instead of one rushed, messy episode which still leaves alot of unresolved plot points. This is rubbish. I will have to stop buying any Macross F DVDs for now until I'm convinced the Frontier movie will do the Macross franchise justice. Ugh, another good potential anime in 2008 that might had ended up in the special place of my heart turned out into another medicore and cliche series.
JustinStrife Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Thank you VF-25!!! I knew I saw it that way too, just rewatched it to be certain!!! If he's directly inbetween Frontier and Quarter, how exactly does he salute both girls again?
Whatever_Guy Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 If he's directly inbetween Frontier and Quarter, how exactly does he salute both girls again? hehe am surprised that ppl can have a debate over this all you guys must going thru hell with the indecision on the love triangle
Necron_99 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Like many people here, I, too, felt as though this episode was rushed. It had plenty of mech porn, and an interesting twist. Now the wait begins for subs
JustinStrife Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 hehe am surprised that ppl can have a debate over this all you guys must going thru hell with the indecision on the love triangle As I said, the lack of finish of the love triangle wasn't my biggest beef or even my 2nd biggest beef with 25. The music, and the plot endings really were a mess. Galaxy deserved a 2nd season.

The music, and the plot endings really were a mess. Galaxy deserved a 2nd season. I believe the actual Galaxy is still out there since we didn't see it. Not to mention the rest of the other Galaxy ships that are unaccounted for. Battle Galaxy however... got messed up.
Product9 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Wait... so was battle Galaxy doing the same movements as huge-Ranka was during ep 24? That would be...interesting to see... And this movie you speak of. I hope it isn't just a compilation movie (ala Gundam) and an actual sequal. I think they left enough open for more story, don't you? Damn... now all I have to look forward to next week is withdrawls... Twas such a great show!
rowen Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Used to be. Saw a Mayan statue of the Birdman. Like "The Protoculture was here" or "Shin Kudo, Sara Nome and Birdman was here". Bilrer was expecting to find Minmay. LOL That would only work if Minmay had fold quartz earrings too... which look an awful lot like what she's wearing during her DYRL performance/final battle sequence. *stirs pot*
grss1982 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Just saw the RAW, and didn't understand a darn thing........but I'm still gonna post some pics...... This is the result of Alto's bad habit of always ejecting those Super Pack and Armored Pack Parts. VF-25 with only the Leg Parts of the Super Pack? AND WTF!!! No Gunpod? ***** AWESOME!! Just Awesome!!! pwn3d!!! I wonder what squadron this unlucky dude belongs to? Note that insignia on the back of the Battroid.
Kai Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Who noticed the bridge bunnies Miina and Ramu hanging on to Bobby in the final credits? Maybe Bobby has given up on Ozma and started batting for the other team.
vanpang Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Who are those 3 guys behind Folmo ? Are they cameos from the production team ? Edited September 26, 2008 by vanpang

Kai Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Who are those 3 guys behind Folmo ? Are they cameos from the production team ? They are the new wave in Macross music: a boy band.
kensei Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 More like, how did she reach the controls? There's gotta be a height requirement. EX Gear. There are no standard control per 25, it depends on the EX Gear to link up to it. Then again, we gotta explain why a loli has her own EX Gear.

Then again, we gotta explain why a loli has her own EX Gear. No need to explain actually, since IIRC wasn't Luca and Loli-Klan just of the same height and size? Also did Machida get pwn3d by the V-9? Hope he made it. BTW...this picture just screams.....I WILL BREAK YOU.
Gin Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 I wonder what squadron this unlucky dude belongs to? Note that insignia on the back of the Battroid. Wasn't that Kakizaki getting sliced in half?
kensei Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 The only thing that I didn't like about the end was the music medley. I kjust wanted one good song, and I guess I am glad that it wasn't focused on Anata no Oto. I was hoping for a good Extended Version of Lion, but perhaps that would be rectified in the Movie.
OmegaD3k Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 (edited) Great ending which tied things up nicely. Well done to the MacF cast & crew for bringing us one of the best Macross TV series since the original! 20/10 - Clearly the best anime since two decades. (Macross 11 looked awesome btw. XD) Also, what unresolved love-triangle? It's pretty clear that Alto got Sheryl and Ranka has regained her brother. The scene where Alto and the VF-27 were flying side by side with those two images of Sheryl and Ranka not only confirms, but also underlines that fact, with a visual representation.

sdf2501 Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 This was so good. Already watched it 5 times and I can't stop. It's been a fantastic ride, and I'm still basking in the afterglow. Will definitely finish collecting the Blu-rays. Already have the first three ordered. I like how they "ended" the triangle: with Triangler! Together: "Who are you going to kiss?" Ranka: "Me?" Together: "or" Sheryl: "Me?" Pick one Alto, goddammit!!!
emajnthis Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 The last episode was sick! Though i gotta say, while SDF:M felt a handful of episodes too long, Frontier felt a handful of episodes too short, though if a movie truly is in the works hopefully it'll provide that extra bit of resolve that was slightly lacking. That was some extreme mecha porn, every mech design short of Destroids had some clear cut shoot em up screen time.

I think that was the problem. The "macross speed" medley isn't bad, but I believe that is the thing that brings the rushed sense, it was too many songs and quite fast

Daedalus Attack!!! Well in smaller scale though. Edited September 26, 2008 by grss1982
kensei Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 A LOT of references to other Macross in this episode. That was the best thing about it. With the love triangle, who cares if it is unresolved? I'm satisfied that it wasn't!
wolfx Posted September 26, 2008 Posted September 26, 2008 Actually i thought the medley was pretty cool. Its like one of those nico2 remixes. Hehe. Can't wait to get a full version on OST 2.
