In the current November issue of NewType ( which of course is on sale in early October ), these two advertisements are found.
The DVD company would not be releasing the incorrect release date in a recent publication twice now, would they. |

I just finished watching chapter 5.
Wow. Just wow. Even though I'm not a Macross fan, it's been very worth the watch. I'll be going back and watching it from chapter 1 again in not too long of a future... If' you crave the fast paced battloid actions, this chapter is full of those once again. But even those seems insignificant now. (now I'm off to translating it...) P.S. BTW, that 11/10 date is for OST2 release. |

Is a raw up online? If so, am I allowed to ask for a URL here? I know a lot of fansub groups will release this in the very near future, but I'd like to grab the raw and take a shot at seeing how much my meager Japanese will let me understand. I want to see the conclusion that badly.. >.>

It ends, it ends... *sob*
A fairy tale at the end, people who refuses to acknowledge psychic powers would be flabbergasted at the ending. At the end, they tried to and succeeded at playing my emotions slightly for the lovers. Darn them Yes, the veritech combat was indeed intense and exciting. Shin made me give out some "Yahoo!!!"'s. Fokker even made a fun pun of Shin *chuckle* Now the screenies ( from the first Chinese sub out )... Open Wide... Translation: "If the Birdman awakens, he will sing the Song of Destruction" ( translating cause I cannot think of punny lines to say :P ) Ready to take off with newfangled thingees No... that is not an animation error. David Blaine and Copperfield, eat your hearts out! Woohoo!!! Ride 'em, cowboy!! The Peacock King cometh again!!! ( Nah, it is the Birdman actually... ) She got a new outfit 3 Guesses on who is that she's pointing at... Woot!!! Guess who? |

not just psychic powers, this is now going all over the top supernatural in ep5... people making astral projections, generating anti-grav fields, sending out black flames (Yami Barai? ) etc. etc. like nothing...
Overall it is okay I guess... I don't really feel anything for the characters... but the air combat actions are really over the top beautiful and crazy... I'm kinda wondering how they intend to fit the Birdman into the Macross universe... |

The Birdman has been awakened. That was the last sentence said by Mao before we switch back to Sara fallen in despair. Sara's despair and possibly need for vengeance triggered the awakening of the Birdman who destroyed its confinements and surroundings and brought Sara to itself. Sara was not the one doing anything. The Eye was already opened when the bridge was destroyed ( by Mao's statement before the energy waves even started ) and if Sara was the one that dictated her transport, she would be concious right at the start of her cacooning and would not be surprised at destroying the bridge.

If you do not mind, you can read my short review of Macross Zero here. I got some thoughts there on the story and characters, so at least you would know where I stand on this. |

I think the problem is not whether I like them or they fit in some molds or not, but that Macross Zero doesn't spend much time on building up their characters. For example, Sara, the only thing I got from the anime is that she loves nature, and that's pretty much about it, we don't really see any emotional or personal side of her except her constant "nature is beautiful, kadun is bad" kind of stuff. At least for the girl in Macross Plus, we know she loves to sing, and we also get to see more of her emotional and personal side. I don't think time constraint is that much a factor here, there are those around 90 minutes movies where they develop their characters quite well, I guess Macross Zero never intends to do much character development anyway... |

So for short series where serious drama is not a focus ( and which tonnes of short 1 to 6 episode OVAs are not serious drama focused ), unless the first impression you get from the characters is favourable ( that means, you really like this kind of person, subconciously or not ), you will not be bothered to remember this fella. |

EDIT: Ready a little farther and saw that one of those was for the OST, but it still leaves 2 dates not matching each other, plus the date I have. OH, yeah. And someone said that the video is out already and subbed in chinese complete with screenshots and yet the dvd isn't due out yet?? Uh, someone's got their wires crossed at anime corporate headquaters. -_- |
