Well, that's what I thought at first.

Seems to be the most obvious reason, and well, like a crab. Hard shell, soft insides.

Nice episode I like it - one that really crack me up was I thought that she's going to become a hottie after micloned but it turn out she become a loli hahahaha - hmm I guess it's still to soon to figure out which girl Alto will end with though I personally choose Sherly (kind of remember of Misa from original macross) can't wait to see her in next episode

Great episode overall. Reminds me very much like the original Macross. It feels lighter than other Macross series, but I enjoy the series so far. Character development seems well developed, but still some room for further development. Animation does look slightly weird like Luca in the restaurant and the ladies dressing room.

Cute ep, but the animation was frankly borderline atrocious. Some of the girls having bead eyes is a total turn off and the framerate of some scenes were an eyesore. That said, it all was cute and fun so no harm.

Also, it's basically confirmed that the female Kabuki in the OP is Alto and maybe his dad saw a good female Kabuki actress in Alto. And hey, he seems to fit the role just fine.


As for Klein Klan, anyone else instinctively thought of Aisha ClanClan who basically had the same overall style, the same ears, the same hot temperament, the same vein-ness? Never expected an Outlaw Star chara in my Macross.

As for SMS, I suppose they can explain why they have a very capable military force in that the morale in the actual military force isn't very high (which sorta doesn't make sense by itself...) but I guess that'll do for now. I sort of don't buy that a capitalistic one-up-manship of private military contractors is even POSSIBLE for a small colony ship (even with millions on board). That seems too small a scale for major military projects to prop up, but then again, the original Macross had inexplicable capabilities even in a relatively tiny 1km ship.

Alto's dad scares me to no ends. The scene where he glares at Alto then imagines him as female kabuki made me think he is a psycho. Why else would you think of your son as a beautiful female -___-

The SMS kinda reminds me of mithril from full metal panic.

When Alto did the POSE I immediately recalled Gamlin explaining to Mylene that piloting a Valkyrie shows one's true personality.

Technically he's not gay just... effeminate.

Yeah. I seriously doubt SMS is a truly private military contractor. It obviously is partly funded by the military directly on top of having military prototypes.

As for the dad, the whole 'treat the child like artwork' reminds me of that weirdo Kirameki in Shigofumi. But much, much more dour

Kyuun! Kyuun!

Ahh, the nostalgia. Loved it. Considering she didn't win Miss Macross, I wonder where they'll showcase her singing talents.

And speaking of Miss Macross, Catherine also signed up for it? Such a shame they didn't spend more time with her, since I find the Ozma-Cat-Leon triangle to be 10x more interesting than the main triangle.

And of course, for every blue varitech fighter pilot, we'd need a red meltrandi fighter pilot. Just a shame that she's the obligatory loli of this series...

I dunno, I thought it was more like 'his dad's eyes penetrate deep into the natural onnagata inside Alto thing.'

Maybe Alto's talent for his family trade is one in 50 years? And he's pretty talented in a VF too.

Lucky hime.

lol Catherine? Did you miss Catherine in the judge's seating or something when she eyed Leon seemingly 'discussing' with the other judges...

Wouldn't be surprised if he had a hand in making sure Ranka never won it.

Well there isn't yet any clear evidence that chaty indeed has something for Ozma. For all we know maybe Ozma was her sempai whom she admired back when he was still a member of the military or something. But indeed; I'd be great if they'd be paired up w/ each other. Though Ozma has death flags waving all over his head. Though I don't agree on you on the "10x more interesting part". I like Sheryl and I want to see more of her than cathy.

I think she was a former contestant...

Just a little more and we've got a mecha-harem anime (even the bridge bunnies find Alto cute, not to mention the homo)

Actually what I meant was that Cat signed up for it in the past, lol. Sorry for the confusion, but I thought it was pretty obvious she's part of the judges. What I was getting at was that Cat would be the last person I'd expect to join such a competition, being such a serious 'good girl' and all. I mean, seriously now, is Ms. Uptight the type you'd see in a Miss Universe pageant or something like that as part of her history?

And hey, the reason why I find the Ozma-Cat-Leon triangle more interesting IS because we dunno what happened in the past with Ozma and Cat. It looks like they knew each other, and they don't get along terribly well, but Cat looked genuinely distressed anyway last episode when Ozma got hurt. While it might just very well be a dead end, but considering the history of this series, I wouldn't be surprised that they had something going on.

When you put it that way, Ozma and Catherine seem to be like Hikaru and Misa then (they didn't get along at the start and we all know how the latter pair ended up )

urgh.

the spelling of pixie squadron zentradi captain is getting on my nerves now.

not zentradi enough.


should at leased be spelt "Quan Quan" or something....


oh, love the scene when they flew over the asteroid then the derelict zentradi ship comes into view, then boom, two streaks as the combatants zoom towards it.

oh god.

it was the best scene EVER.

I've never felt such feeling, it was liek a combination of a heart attack, an orgasm and muscle spasm.

i don't remember any other anime series that give us such a sight, besides the original, perhaps votom (original) and Captain Harlock

seriously, not enough asteroid with derelict ships in a space opera.

:/
