Scyla Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Is the VF-171EX confirmed as the cannon fodder Valkyrie for Delta? I'm not to keen on seeing it again but it could be possible that it is only a standin for now since they had not finished the CF Fighter for the deadline. I'm not getting my hopes up but I find it odd that they use a white VF-171 since this color belonged to a special forces squadron in Frontier. I'd love to see another new Valkyrie for this series.

UN Spacy Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 VERY impressed by the look and feel of Alshahal. Quote

kajnrig Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Gotta get me a copy of that Ikenai Overdrive ASAP... I hate pop music, but damn if Macross doesn't constantly keep sucking me in... Quote
wmkjr Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Found a way to watch it. I'm looking forward to the rest! Kinda catchy song at the end. At least now I know who the 6th Draken pilot is. Also interesting that Freya's heart thing grows when excited. Quote
Universe1010 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Just watched the first one. I thought it was more like a song and dance circus act even without subs. The jets look nice. Personally didn't like it much Quote
BChoinski Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 Man, you guys are killing me. I'm praying for a sub to come down the lines soon, but then it's months for real! Quote
Moosey Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 VAR Syndrome looks pretty nasty. image.jpegimage.png Vars syndrome makes you look like Guld Bowman with the limiters out and pulling enough G's to make your head explode......... So yeah, pretty nasty! I'm praying for a sub to come down the lines soon, but then it's months for real! My command of Japanese is (extremely) limited but I was able to get the gist of the episode (if not the finer details) having listened to Tochiro, Renato et al on the podcast. (Thanks again for that btw) Quote
RedWolf Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) An important point I think. Clue of Var Syndrome about to happen is a Fold reaction. Now with singing noticed it is a definite enemy action along with the Aerial Knights attack. Someone on SpaceBattles speculated before the episode that somebody figured out how the Protodevlin make Zentradi go crazy but didn't have delivery method. Then Frontier happened with the proliferation of Fold Quartz. Edited December 31, 2015 by RedWolf Quote

(Thanks again for that btw) I'm sure I can watch and enjoy the raws, but my hard-wired-english brain will be much more thrilled with subs. I do look forward to kibitzing with everyone as it proceeds...I was too late for any Frontier episode discussion threads. Edited December 31, 2015 by BChoinski Quote

Beltane70 Posted December 31, 2015 Posted December 31, 2015 I didn't get to see the entire special, just the raw of the first episode. So far, I like what I see. I can't wait until April comes around! Quote
azrael Posted December 31, 2015 Author Posted December 31, 2015 Interesting. Ikenai Overdrive is definitely a catchy tune. The VF-31 isn't that bad. Still not a fan of the forward-swept wings (There are other kinds of wing designs, Kawamori) but it's nice to see they kept the YF-30's multi-purpose container-unit-thingy. Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I don't see the single listed. http://www.apple.com/jp/itunes/charts/songs/ Quote
Karaoke Ninja Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I don't see the single listed. http://www.apple.com/jp/itunes/charts/songs/ Harmony Gold took it down already. Quote
EXO Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Finally saw the raw... I loved it... great set up and loved the ending. whew! It's gonna be a long winter. Quote
spanner Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 got to watch it today. Wasn't too bad actually. No sub titles so could only guess what was being said but I have a fair idea. Lots of singing. Loved the Fighters! So yeah im kinda digging it! Quote
aaajin Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 saw the raw too. the dogfight between SV-262's & VF-31's was pretty intense. but the singing part...lets just say I skipped and skipped and skipped...like nothing happened. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Hmmn. Plus: Adhering to to original series' "setting". Mainly---the Zentradi are *green* again. And the voice echo. Minus: First time I ever thought an episode got LESS cool right after the valkyries showed up... Quote
UN Spacy Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Liked it...I wanna see more! I agree that we do NOT to see still images of Walkure ladies for every performance where they suit up. Once is enough. Quote
RedWolf Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) Watched the sub. As emigration fleets spread throughout the galaxy they encounter alien races, traces left behind by the Protoculture. One of those races are Windemerians from the planet Windimere. Freyja and the Aerial Knights come from this planet. Edited January 1, 2016 by RedWolf Quote
Mandy Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I'm actually rather excited for Delta; that was a pretty good premiere episode! Here's hoping! Quote
Tochiro Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I don't see the single listed. http://www.apple.com/jp/itunes/charts/songs/ It's on iTunes - but you will need a Japanese iTunes account. It hit No.6 on the charts last night too :-) Quote
terry the lone wolf Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Macross Delta..Overall I loved it..Didn't seem very forced or rushed but very quick paced..One statement..Knights of Chivalry= Principality of Zeon..One question..Are we sure Shoji Kawamori never watched Macross 2? Quote

I don't understand how you can be a Macross fan and be so turned off by singing. Quote

aaajin Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 (edited) I don't understand how you can be a Macross fan and be so turned off by singing. me neither. maybe the original series that I saw as a kid did not have so much moe & songs ... I was attracted mostly with the mechanical designs & storyline. but hey, lets stick to the topic shall we? Edited January 1, 2016 by aaajin Quote
RedWolf Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 Oh Freyja has synesthesia perceiving music as colors. Quote
Roy Focker Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 It feels like a mess to me. Before the big action scene it seemed like your typical cutesy anime that Macross Frontier often was. Then they started fighting I'm sorry I meant singing. Oh so this is Sailor moon or something? Then in the final 5 minutes they start having serious mecha duels. If it wasn't for the appearance of Zentradi mecha and Valkyries I wouldn't be able to identify this as Macross. They're obviously smart in trying to make the most mass marketable product that they can but I wonder why keep calling it Macross at all? Can't they just call these new series generic cutie pie singing group the series? Calling it Macross I guess allows them to sale mecha toys. Quote
BChoinski Posted January 1, 2016 Posted January 1, 2016 I'm jones-ing... Just watched Frontier 7 and 25...if the action and music is at least as good I'll be happy. If there are characters I can care about and root against, I'll be ecstatic. If it comes wrapped in a decent plot to boot... It is going to be a long 3+ months. Quote

I think if cash were the ONLY motivation, they would've just made more Frontier. It would've been a safer bet. Quote
