Macross Δ (Delta) News Thread - READ 1st POST

[David Hingtgen]

I'm just waiting for the "Mirage Jenius sings Sheryl Nome" album.

[Sandman]

Yes, that's exactly my point. for what the series on BD is gonna cost I could be getting Delta toys that I'm personally gonna get more long term enjoyment out of, and the money still goes towards the franchise.

anyways, May'n is a Walkure fan:

I can not pull off the finger gymnastics it takes to make the walkure "W" with my hand.

Can't cross your middle and ring fingers? Is that a genetic thing, like rolling your tongue?

Well, I suppose you can always do the alternative.

Tupac did it. It's the Westside hand gesture.

Mikumo is...

secretly cloned from a combination of Tupac's DNA and select Meltran genes.

Welcome to Walkure.....

[d3v]

Technically though, the finger placement in the one-handed Walkure sign and the West Coast hand sign are different. The former is middle finger over ring finger, while the latter is ring finger over middle finger.

[tout-puissant]

Heh, I'm not sure that a lot of people who aren't into the rap scene would know this. I certainly don't.

That said, I'm selfishly enjoying the fact that my daughter and I can easily do the thing, while my wife is struggling to cross her fingers like the girls. Makes watching the show a little more fun.

Mark <--- heading for the doghouse, I know

Which is significantly harder to do one-handed. For me at least

Weird, usually the other way around (ring over middle) is harder to do

Haha yea that's what I meant. The non-standard Walkure method of ring over middle is pretty hard to do. Had never even tried it until I saw your post

[Zinjo]

I wonder if the Japanese realize that this might be considered an offensive gesture by the British...

More important question, do the Japanese care? The answer to that is no btw.

[kajnrig]

I'm just wondering when the photoshopped version comes out so she can insult in American, too.

LOL, that would be easier than you think...

[kajnrig]

Oh, no doubt. I considered doing it even just in Paint. In fact...

EDIT:

Ah, five minutes and no skill, go go go!

I'm so saving that picture.

[wmkjr]

Hilarious! I'm gonna use that one. Anyways, anybody getting those Walkure Headphones? Also, didn't know where this should go here or the character thread.

It all makes sense now.

Hayate was part of the robot division of the Wu Tang Clan and this kid got the Biggie Smalls' DNA.

Raws of the manga are out

Windemere lifespan is 30 years

Freyja middle aged and thats why shes pressured to get married Freyjas fiance helps her escape

[akt_m]

Then does it mean Feyja wins?

>Freyja middle aged.

Older woman always win, Freyja wins then.

The tie-in manga is out and has a scene in Windemere before Freyja escaped.

Huh... 's anyone else flashing back to Orguss and Mimsy's predicament?

How is average life expectancy only 30? What happened to super advanced alien medical technology. Is Windemere like the galactic equivalent of Sub-Saharan Africa?

[kajnrig]

Genetic deficiency/Protoculture modification resulting in shortened telomeres?

Alternatively, excuse to justify creepy underage fetish? "She only LOOKS 14, she's actually middle-aged!" See also:

Final Fantasy, Shelke

"She only LOOKS nine years old. She's actually 19!"

[Alberich]

Well

Well I think that is more related to the fact that they are a post-war society with less resources after they claimed their independence from the NUNS, than something related to their biology.... also going shortly after this war to another war, well that life expectancy is going to plummet even more

[Beltane70]

I wouldn't be too concerned, since

they said life expectancy not lifespan is 30 years.

[anime52k8]

Maybe there's REALLY rampant steroid abuse on Windemere; that's why everyone dies young and Frejya has such mad hops.

[spanner]

only 30 years!? geez that species sure drew the short straw. Sucks to be them!

[iguanaman8989]

They probably never had any reason to realize they had such relatively short lives until humans came along, so it likely wasn't an issue to them.

[Ignacio Ocamica]

I haven't checked ep 4 yet, but do they mention 30 "earth" years? Time and day cycles should be different in Windermere.
