ok... i broke down and watched the raw (cries for my subs
)
was great loved every bit (though the ranka's stomach glowing thing kinda creped me out.).
Gotta go back and read these pages that I was avoiding for spoiler :P
--edit in--
ok I think there's a price to pay for piloting the Macross 1/4, it makes you so Gar you end up gay when you're not piloting :P. Seriously though, Bobby was great in this. The transformation of the 1/4 makes a lot more sense than the previous ones. I really can't wait to see it in action again
.
As far as Alto goes, yes he lost his plane but recovering Luca and his VF has ends up being a win. The data that the VF probably recorded while inside the cap ship will probably make up the difference for Alto losing his. Not to mention Luca is supposedly from a rich family with ties to the tech sector. I can't imagine what kind of gifts they give to SMS to make sure their son is ok.
As far as the VF-27 is concerned... seem kinda super robot is right now, my guess is that singing will break it's super hax :P.
