[Anime] Macross/II/Plus/7/Dynamite 7/Zero

i saw all eps until 10, and i must say, macross F rocks!
love how many reference it has to the other series(ep 1 rankas rescue)(miss macross)(macross zero) and while the music is not what i can say my fav(im a fire bomber guy) i enjoy it very much, love rankas Ninji-n Loves you yeah!(the carrot song!!!!)lol, it is the funniest macross too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

New episode is the best way to do a clipshow, I suppose.

Spoiler:

Loaded and eccentric Zentradi get the coolest toys

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

That was impressive, I was actually entertained by a recap episode.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

recap? is there a recap?? lol, i have to continue my eps, got stuck on ep 10

I was speaking idiomatically.

I almost raged hugely at episode 17.

Spoiler:

Macross Frontier is big on throwbacks and references to previous series, so when Ozma and Kathy started getting closer and he took a hit in battle and kept going, it set off major Focker vibes.

Thank goodness they didn't go that route, though. It would've been pretty awkward. And sad.

Sheryl got almost zero screentime last episode, so here's hoping she goes back to being an awesome force again soon.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Told off. You and everyone else on the planet got pineapple salad trolled. The guys back at the animation studio are probably laughing their asses off right now.

FELIPE NO

Oh fuck. After all that pineapple salad trolling

Spoiler:

they killed Michel. So sad now
And Nana-chan may have lost an eye too

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

So, am I the only one disturbed by the pin-up art on the Monster that Ranka flies around in?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Nah, definitely not. You have to wonder what Ozma was smoking when he let that fly.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Also, I wonder how much emergency power went into Sheryl's spotlight?

Spoiler:

Killing off a major character tends to be the turning point, and hopefully it won't be for the worse. The preview sort of killed the suspense with the slice-of-life clips too. =/

And also, just when I thought we'd get some more, sweet monster action they just transitioned scene and I'm all like don't leave me hangin nigga

How ya doing, buddy?

Episode 21:

Spoiler:

Flight pack Klan was fucking rad for the 10 seconds she got to kick ass.

And Ranka leaves! Putting future plot development into a potentially awkward phase.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

im making my way back to the series, i just watched ep 17
gotta love the references to old series..
but im impressed, they actually use macross 7 songs!! my soul for you and try again, and i must say that the parts that are used feels like were written to bond with the music!
(well, im a macross 7 fanboy, but gotta admit the music fits perfectly)

hope it gets better and better!

just catch ep 20

Spoiler:

i cant believe it, michael dies, and in front of the person he loves, it got really emotional

BTW
now that the story is at the climax, i just noted a few things.
the influence of previous series in macross frontier is really high, i just got some points.

Spoiler:

-the obvious homanage like alto in a vf25 for the first time, or ranka in chinese outift, miss macross etc(this points to SDF macross)

-mao from macross zero is mentioned(so far) and have some involvement in the facts of the series

-Brare's vf27 interface although different in animation, works like Guld's vf21 in macross plus.

-the concept os sheryl being artificial artist(or idol) is just like sharon apple which actually is an artificial "being".
sharon and sherryl, both sounds similar.

- i thought that macross 7 references where limited to sherryls "listen to my song, and the obvious songs in the series, the influence is broader and bigger. Ranka's songs works similar to the "song energy" that is featured in macross 7 and this is an important key in the plot in both series.

macross frontier takes many concepts from older series, expand them, improve them and execute them all so seamless.


and im aware what you guys may think
"this guy have seen macross way too much " and the truth is YES I HAVE, lol

I was speaking idiomatically.

Show over! Kinda ridiculous. =/

Spoiler:

Once again the basic idea behind the show's conclusion is a bunch of fantastical hyperdimensional bullshit. It just felt way too over-the-top, and while I enjoyed all the omg cool stuff going on it just didn't feel like it had the impact it should have since the whole situation became a clusterfuck. For example, Julian releasing the limiters on the ghosts as a tie-in to Macross Plus, but then they just fly off and we never really get to see them do anything.

Once again, the monster was my favorite part. It just felt hard-fought, clumsy, and believably awesome compared to all the bone-crushing G-forces everybody else was pulling.

When they make the next Macross they need to go back and look at what made Superdimensional Fortress: Macross and Macross Plus so popular. No, not Linn Minmay, it was the social aspect. It's hard to identify with giant space monsters, and practically impossible to identify with a collectivistic bug society. The enemies just feel like foils when they used to be people, and that's why culture had such a significant impact, not some bullshit about fold waves.

Good ending overall, but the show could've been a lot better. Plus I didn't need to see Ranka naked.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

It was ridiculous and way over the top. By my third watching I ended up loving it, though. They crammed as much throwbacks to previous series as they could in those 24 minutes

Spoiler (highlight to read):

(Daedalus attack? Check. Isamu plane-hand? Check. Macross 7 song titles? Check. Nonsensical Macross Zero crap? uhhhh)

and it was all choreographed at a frantic pace, with a rocking song medley to boot.

Fuck you Tails this series was worth it

FELIPE NO

The references to past Macross series had me nerding out.

Spoiler:

Alto tosses Sheryl a salute before heading out, a la Hikaru saluting Misa in Do You Remember Love. Sheryl end confirmed.

I thought it was a decent ending to a great series, but hopefully the upcoming movie will be a continuation of the story and not a remake. There are way too many lingering questions that can't go unresolved.

Forget Alto x Sheryl or Alto x Ranka. This is the real end to the love triangle:

Spoiler:

Sheryl x Ranka, Alto x Sky.

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

Like they weren't going to reach the planet.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I'm still waiting for the Lunar release, SO I'M CLOSING MY EYES AS I TYPE THIS REPLY

Most amazing jew boots

just watched the ending, i like it a lot, but "owner" motive leave me complitely unguarded!
and the references to old series keep appearing.
there is a tribute to kakisaki in ep 24

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

That was a pretty good series overall, and despite some faults I enjoyed it immensely. I'm happy they at least confirmed our suspicions regarding Sheryl's heritage:

Spoiler:

Cathy tells Ozma that amongst the documents found at the 117th fleet's remains was a letter to Dr Mao, informing her that her granddaughter had given birth to a baby girl. The mother had given the child her fold-quartz earrings.

Some questions though:

Spoiler:

1. Did Grace know at all when she chose Sheryl for her "experiment" that she was related to her mentor Dr Mao?
2. After Sheryl's parents died she was left abandoned and had to fend for herself. How did she still manage to keep those earrings with her?
3. What happened to all the Vajra in the end? They just left? "Oh here, take our planet. Have fun! Bye!!"...?!

All the same, it was a fun ride.



I was speaking idiomatically.

Spoiler:

1. She knew who Sheryl was, or at least found out later, since in one scene she did talk about pitting the descendants of her former co-workers against each other. Or something like that.
2. Not a lot of details on that. Maybe she wasn't left alone for long.
3. They're still on the planet (presumably gathering around their newly headless queen) as signified by the presence of Ai-kun. Let's interbreeding fun time!

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

anyone knows if there is a plan for sequels, movies or ovas??
it the long run, i still want more macross, lol

FELIPE NO

Well, they're making a Macross Frontier movie.

Every Macross series gets turned into a movie. Whether in-universe or out of it.

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

Anyone seen the All That VF videos on youtube? Pretty nice, basically a VF presentation for Frontier and Zero.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
