Macross F just hit holy shit awesome territory. I already have a theory about that mysterious crimson plane:
I think it and the pilot have something to do with the Megaroad-1 disappearing without a trace in the center of the galaxy. Since he seems human is aware of culture, I'm thinking he maybe a descendant of those on board MEgaroad-1. Maybe they found something to colonize/new technology etc at the center of the universe.

I think I saw a NUNS on the side of his VF-27. Wasn't NUNS formed after Megaroad-1 leaving?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

The Monster reminds me of how awesome a Battletech show would be. :sigh:

It also seems odd that they'd fold into Galaxy fleet, not actually see the Galaxy, then the previews show slice of life clips.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I believe they only reached the area where the 6 Galaxy fleet ships defolded from in episode 6:

I'm not too sure if they even know correctly where the M-GALAXY's position actually is due to the fold dislocation. Probably why they end up going back to the M-FRONTIER as in the episode 8 previews....

You mean this pic?

Shit, I don't even know what NUNS is....care to enlighten? The nature and design of their aircraft are very similar to the SMSs variable VF fighters so I'm guessing they're some what related. I'm guessing they're from another Macross Colony Fleet. I don't think they have anything to do with the MEGAROAD-01 though....

And yes, the pilot of the crimson fighter is obviously related to or somehow connected to Ranka. He uses that silver harmonica to play a few bars from Ranka's "lost" song, the song that is her only memory from her life with the 117th Fleet. He could be a survivor from that fleet too. Maybe.

And why is the introduction to episode 7 so screwy? It mentions that M-GALAXY was the 21st Mass Colonization Fleet and was launched several years before the M-FRONTIER. But in the opening shot we see that amongst the original colony fleets that left Earth in 2012,

the M-FRONTIER is clearly seen (right-hand side).

M-GALAXY isn't seen until after MEGAROAD-04 discovers and inhabits Eden:

(M-GALAXY is seen above Eden moving away from the planet).

Something screwy going on here......

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Continuity errors? Sound the horn of Nerddor.

I believe NUNS stands for New UN Spacey(Spacy?). I think it was formed sometime during or after Macross7. Where I read this is slipping my mind.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, I managed to answer my own question it seems...

The first Macross Frontier soundtrack will be released next month and seems to include all the songs so far featured in the TV series. A definite must-buy for me. I haven't been this excited about a soundtrack release since Haruhi and SEED Destiny.......speaking of which, did you all know that Aya Hirano and Rie Tanaka are featured in Macross F?

Aya Hirano and Rie Tanaka are two of the bridge bunnies. Rie is instantly recognizable (Suigintou hrhr), but Aya isn't using her Haruhi voice it seems.

One track title from that soundtrack really jumps out at me:

アイモ~鳥のひと

"Aimo ~ Tori no Hito". Bird Man. Sup Macross Zero

FELIPE NO

Ha, didn't notice that actually. I was trying to figure something else out:

What is the difference between songs #10 アイモ and #21 アイモ~鳥のひと? I know that it was mentioned on the official website that the latter was played in episode 3 during Gilliam's funeral/sending off. I assume アイモ was the ED themes for episode 1 and 7, but both songs seem exactly the same...

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

hikarub · Local time: Jun 10, 2008, 02:40 AM

Well, Bigblah, looks like the bird human in the songlist was there for a reason. Episode 10 was a Macross ZERO episode!!

Spoiler:

Hmmmmm.........

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Due to interest in Frontier, I've been going back and watching the original series for the first time. It's quite interesting, what with all the rampant 80's-ness to it (I haven't seen so many seizure-inducing screen flashes in ages) and seeing all the things that Frontier is making references to. It's all quite fun and I look forward to finishing the rest of the series (already acquired Macross Plus) at some point.

The female protagonists kind of make me rage, though. I figured Minmay would be a nice cute girl, but she's actually kind of a jerk in a huge way. I guess it could be her age, but she has no delicacy with choosing her words around the company she's in. I find Misa to be much more preferable, but then again she's still hopelessly stuck on her first beau. Ah well.

More series need someone Focker/Global-esque. Awesome dudes.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm looking for a torrent of the original series

I haven't seen it in decade or so. If someone can find me some neat dvd rips, preferably not exceeding 200mb per episode, so that my interwebs can handle the size.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Ramenbetsu · Jun 11, 2008, 12:35 PM

Really great episode and I loved how it was all macross zero related. Been meaning to rewatch the ova.

The newest chart-topping hit from Ranka Lee:

YouTube Video

I enjoyed that Macross Zero episode, although the fight scene looked really out of place (according to some people it was purposely done that way by a guest animator).

Bradylama · Local time: Jun 16, 2008, 12:23 PM

I see the film makers of Macross have taken to the Charlie Chan method of characterization.

Any recommendations on a good fansub group? I was following AiA&I-Z's work but they're pissing me off with their late releases. They still haven't released episode 11 yet and 12 has been released by other groups already. I would like to stick with one group for any one series but it looks like I'm gonna have to switch now.

Can anyone recommend between the following? Chihiro; gg; and Lunar?

Thanks.

Animechanic · Local time: Jul 2, 2008, 09:19 PM

Hmm... I've been following Shinsen, but they are slow as hell too. Seconding hikarub's recommendation request.

I was speaking idiomatically.

Sakabadger · Local time: Jul 2, 2008, 11:00 PM

I'd go with gg (personal choice) or Lunar. Chihiro is definitely the speedsub variety of group, and while their work is okay (I guess) there are a number of weird errors that get through.

If you want consistency in your fansub from start to finish, though, I guess you should get Lunar since gg only started from episode 6 or 7 or so.

Loved episode 12. The singing scenes in Frontier are so well done and exciting (or in this case, extremely cute). It also made me glad that I went and watched the original Macross, since the end of the episode would've had a much lesser impact had I not.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Vemp · Local time: Jul 3, 2008, 05:30 PM

I used to follow AiA and then they cancelled it (summer schedule conflicts), so now I'm with Chihiro or Lunar, whoever comes first (Chihiro usually, and they have decent quality).

<+macross_noob> WHAT THE HELL IS WITH THE SINGING?! lol

FELIPE NO

hikarub · Local time: Jul 5, 2008, 01:36 AM

Thanks for the recommendations. I didn't know that AiA had cancelled their subs for this show. I guess I'll be going with gg then. Or Lunar. Guess it doesn't really matter...

Jam it back in, in the dark.
