Kawamori picking Chisato Mita as the character designer for Delta was a fantastic decision that continues to pay off.


Meanwhile, the Frontier poster is going to get about a dozen Minimum Factory dioramas.

Still waiting on mine... I've never had a package labeled "Operational delay" with FedEx before, but it's finally at the sort facility.

Mine should be at home when I get there at 1600. Looking forward to some vegetable curry with rice, and a glass of shochu while taking this show in.

Well, whatever you do don't google the name of this movie. I'm sitting here at work staring at my bluray waiting to watch it tonight and got curious enough to look up reviews. Spoiled on the FINAL DAY! Ugh...

I just got it in the mail. I'm saving the main feature for the weekend, but I had to watch the Frontier short.

OH MY GOD!

It's gorgeous. Totally beautiful.

But it's the very definition of leaving you wanting more!

Macross Frontier Movie 3 or we riot!

I got mine from CD Japan. Did I get it on or before release day? Hm...

I couldn't wait for the weekend. I watched the main feature tonight. It was great. I don't want to say anything more.

Except Macross Frontier Movie 3 or we riot!!!

Edit: I was easy to activate subs on english :)

As an Old Macross Fan who found the non-Walkure aspects of Delta pretty forgettable, this second movie is fantastic. the robot fights are fun and well animated, but the plot and character development really shine. plenty of fanservice for all the fellow Old Guys here that finally set Delta more firmly in the rest of the franchise both in personnel and thematically. i would have loved to see what they could have done with the events of the movie over multiple episodes instead of the last ~13 episodes of Delta TV series we got instead. i know a lot of folks here look down on anything that came out after the Reagan Administration, but man this was a pleasant surprise.

After watching it, I felt pretty let down truthfully. You get this big tease to solve a mystery only to let it fizzle out.

How did you activate your english subtitles on the PS? I'm trying to activate them on my copy on PS4 but have no idea how to.

Saw this was available for "free" streaming online....so was curious to see the SV-303 in action....I hope Bandai can release a DX of it soon...was also nice seeing all these plastic toys we collect actually doing stuff onscreen....can't say I actually cared for the movie as a whole, but at least we got some new VFs out of it...some very cool visuals, especially from the Earth and the Megaroad-01, which many said would never be brought up again after FB2012...LOL!  Bring on a DX of it Bandai...I'd insta-buy it!

I enjoyed it overall. You can see the hint of the story the writers were trying to tell under the glee & glam that is Walkure. Both movies do an excellent job of improving on Delta TV. I think they hamfisted the Megaroad-01 but could see Misa trying to keep humanity from making the same mistakes as the Protoculture.

Pluses:

  • New Valks
  • Max
  • Character development

Minuses:

  • Overall story.
  • Walkures Music didn't impress this time around. Forgettable is how I would describe it.

I'm planning to watch my copy this weekend... though, to be honest, I'm actually kind of dreading it.

On the one hand, everything I've heard from my friends in Japan who saw it in theaters was broadly positive and suggested that the movie was where Macross Delta actually starts living up to the "Macross" name.  I'm heartily sick of being disappointed by the lazy work on display in Macross Delta proper and the middling-at-best first movie, so I'd like nothing better than for the second movie to blow me away and leave me feeling like the slog to get here was actually worth it.

On the other hand, I absolutely 200% dread the movie's "big reveal" because it's a painfully anticlimactic answer to the franchise's oldest unsolved mystery.

On the other other hand, I am greatly looking forward to seeing Delta's collection of underdeveloped expies of Macross Frontier characters, third-rate washouts from Brisingr's local New UN Forces, and other assorted bush league "talent" get completely upstaged in their own ****ing movie by a special guest character from another series. :rofl: 

On the other other other hand, could someone please pass the geiger counter?

Seto... they don't make a geiger counter that could measure that kind of radiation without melting....

Been a while since I posted here, but since I finally watched Zettai Live I thought it was a good time to return and psot my thoughts.I suppose it was an improvement over the last movie and having less of the Knights was always going to be be a good thing. But that said, it still cements itself as the most disappointing Macross installment of all for me. It just never clicked

I said before and I say it again. Kawamori should hand over control of Macross to someone who will develop it and take it into a fresh direction, but that actually cares about writing and characters.

  • Freyja's death. It should have been more gut-wrenching. I was moved more by the Wind Priest's passing than hers.

Doesn't bother me but it's only been four days since release.  You'd better believe that last bullet needs to be a spoilers tag.
