Macross Frontier (Macross 25) general discussion [No Spoilers]

[FLCL]

doesnt this air tomorrow?

when does it begin MUST KNOW!!! XD

[Westlo]

If it airs in Shana's old time slow which was also the same time slot Darker Than black and Code Geass was in than I'm pretty sure it airs in about 11 hours time, give or take an hour.

[deffusse]

is there any chance, we obtain the macross sub-forum....? I mean there are a lot of fans, a lot of posts, and the whole macross serie deserves it

[germanturkey]

there'll be one. i mean, if gundam has one, there's no reason why macross can't have one either. so it airs tomorrow, as in friday, or tomorrow as in thursday? i'm guessing you guys mean friday.

anyways, its just a rehash of ep 1 right? hopefully a good group will do it and we'll get 720p encodes at a reasonable size..

Oh no question.

Heck. We have 56 pages and this series hasn't even started! That's gotta stand for something.

[Westlo]

It airs at 25:00 Thursday aka 1 AM Friday, so a bit under 9 hours away from air time. Hopefully people can get the ED theme on youtube very quickly, I'll like to watch that before I go to sleep.. Frontier finishes airing at 3.30am my time...

@ Pinoy

Depends on how much you want to understand. I'd say the original Macross is a must watch anyway. As for Macross 7, I'd say it's skippable. Again, try to find the original Macross + Plus + Zero OVAs. But I do think retroactive viewing holds up fairly well since the overall plotlines are archetypal and not too context heavy.

PS- I'm really anticipating the fansub effort this time. I hope it's a totally new group or something for the heck of it.

[Shiroth]

Regarding the previous Macross watch, you can just go with Macross: Do You Remember Love? --- which is a retelling of the original series in movie format. It's a quick watch, something you can do before watching Macross Frontier. Oh and make sure you check out Macross Plus sometime in the near future.

pinoy78: Don't suppose you have a high resolution version of that image?

It's actualy 01:25am in JST they do this as not to mix up the fact that it's on thursday not friday for some reason. Confusing ain't it.

Here's the official PV for Triangler:

Love the song! Unless someone beats me to it, I'll post the new ED when it's uploaded to Nicovideo

[Westlo]

The proper version of the song as expected rocks.

[aardvark]

Just watched the episode

Kind of different from Deculture edition

- OP and ED (ED is really short)
- New scenes with the characters
- New Song and some new music I think
- Animation improved in some areas and totally redone in an area or two (Concert is TOTALLY different now)
- Some scenes removed obviously
- The Eyecatch is OMG AWESOME

[duckroll]

Overall Macross Frontier ep1 is waaaay better than the Deculture Edition. They removed scenes but also changed a bunch of stuff. Animation, pacing, CG, etc seem to have improved since they last aired it too. Can't wait for ep2.

[Westlo]

Oh shit they put in the op? *quickly edits posts saying there wouldn't be an op*

*cough*

Anyway hows the ED sound?

Really wierd.

From what I remember, it was pretty short (30 seconds?) and with quiet singing and not much of any music behind the vocals.

I think the ED for episode 2 and beyond should be different (IE longer if not anything else)

[terrus]

So this episode aired at what time? i'm just not certain as i live in england and we just had daylight savings so the clocks have gone forward an hour. I assumed that the episode would air at 16:25pm GMT but i am kinda confused and don't know if i'm right

[Westlo]

Oh did they fix up or remove the scene where lanca gets off the train and heads towards the concert? Those scenes were really static so I'll be surprised if they remained untouched.
