New Macross (Macross Frontier) - Talkback

It looks like just his head though. Like head in the jar.

Is this like how they portrayed Boddole in the movie? Big floating head commanding a ship?
 
I've found out that the series won't hasn't really started yet. What we saw was just a preview or something (still the first episode) and the whole series won't start its run untill April.
 
Just started looking at ep 6 and saw that one of the planets was named Eden. Is this the same Eden from Macross Plus? How many planets did the fleets colonize after 2012?
 
Yea that's the Eden from Macross Plus since it was colonized in 2012/2013 depending on which date you see used. As to how many planets are actually colonized, it's hard to say.

In Macross 7 they said there had been 37 colonziation fleets dispatched from Earth. Frontier is calling itself the 25th, but we see it may be because it launched from Earth before Eden was settled and then additional fleets launched from Eden (Galaxy being one of those fleets). So if Macross 7 (14 years ago time-wise) was saying there was 37 fleets at the time, then there may be a lot more now during Frontier's time.

I think maybe 10-15 colonized planets gets mentioned at various times in the different Macross series or manga/additional material. Usually stuff involving rebellions or an important character having been born on that planet.

So I think the nuraber of colonized planets at this point in Frontier is probably very high. Humanity wanted to spread out as much as possible to make it harder to wipe them out in one shot.
 
Ranka was all up in that cleavage too

BTW something I wondered how did Sheryl get into that outfit? I thought she wore that kinda skimpy two-piece thing when she performed and then outfits were holographically projected onto it.

Somehow Ranka's powers extend from not only being able to heal Sheryl, but able to create clothing out of thin air for her
 
Compared to Macross 7?



Well Sheryl overshadowing Ranka might have been done on purpose.
As for the new opening: it's good; it says things have kicked up into high gear. Although Sheryl looks like that at any moment she could pop out of her outfit with ballistic force.

Keep in mind Ranka is a direct descendant of the Bird Human and she has that extra bit of physiological toughening that Zentradi blood gives.

We get a big hint that Brera is Ranka's biological brother (or at least what's left of him).

I would also like to note the original lyrics of Aimo, Aimo are about an innocent in in a picturesque ocean setting; the lyrics Ranka used in the battle are lyrics of conquest (but when she started singing after they folded she used the original lyrics).

Ozma is going to be pissed:


I wonder when things will hit the fan and the main characters learn that they've been being used to harvest parts for advanced fold jump systems from an intelligent species (but not necessarily sentient in the same way proto-culture descendant species are.)
 
Macross Frontier 07:

Robots fight, stuff blows up, girls sing, more stuff blows up, Macross Quarter owns all, really big stuff blows up, someone pukes, someone else plays harmonica.

Nuff said, now go watch it.


P.S. They most likely killed the budget with this one (R.I.P. Mocross Frontier budget) so the next few eps might be a little lower quality animation, just so you know.
 
The preview for the next episode kinda scares me. I've been in love with the animation in this series (even in the non-space battle episodes), but next weeks preview made it looked like it was outsourced or something. The character designs look a little off.
 
From watching the series and from what I've read over the internet, the armor of the VF-25 will be a normal armament for the fighters, also it seems that there are several different types of gunpoRAB (got to love the sniper gunpod). It's been explained that the reason why the VF-25 is so slim is because since the armor can convert with the fighter it was incorporated into the fighters design.
 
How often do the episodes come out? Once a week?

I have to say so far this series is the best next to SDF. I'm also watching Macross 7, the jury's still out on that one......
 
Wow.
I have to admit I never was much of a Macross fan. Not that I didn't like it; I just never saw any of it. I never watched Robotech as a kid, so I didn't have the urge to see the show they made it from. And as my tastes in anime developed, the Mecha Food Group was filled mostly with Gundam.

That said, I'm really liking this show. If it continues to hold my interest I may need to netflix the original.

But most of all, I want a cell like Ranka's.
