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

[DragoonKain3]

The leaked song didn't do the song justice. Heads and tails above what Maaya has ever done before in anime songs.

Just a question, is Macross F also aired in HDTV? I remember that the first airing wasn't, and it would be a shame if they don't put it in HD for the series IMO.

Um, it's ok, but it's no "Hemisphere"

[the.Merines]

It airs on TBS (among a smattering of other stations), so I assume it'll air in HD. If it turns out to be a station upscale, I will be sorely disappointed.

The wait is killling me...

Can't really remember offhand, but overall the episode flowed much better. The concert is completely different as a result. I think it's best to think of the Deculture Edition as an alternate pilot episode.

of corse, it was.... I mean the firs ep. aired in the end of 2007, was in 720p, but the HD standard for tv seems to be 1080i.... and there wasn't any 1080 release, also there wasn't "hi-vision" sign on screen.. So it is realy disputable. It has to be aired in HD standard, or it's going to be a waste of it's realy good animation

There could be various reasons for this. The Deculture Edition didn't air on it's own, it was part of a Macross Anniversary program.

Yep that's her best one! And Hemisphere has stood the test of time, let's see if I like Triangler as much in 6 years time.

[NoOneKnowS]

Wow finally; Romance+Mecha anime. 2 of my fave anime genres. I'd be sure to loved this show. I just know it.

I've been not keeping up w/ the thread so.

1.) How long will this series be? 26 EPs? or 50+?

2.) If it's 50+; will it be like some other series that has like a 6months wait for a new 20+(err..like a second season) EPs?

[Westlo]

No one knows the length of the show, unless they flat out say how many episodes it will be you have to wait for dvd listings generally.

Please tell me they're stream screenshots, or just saved in incredibly low quality, because they look horrific. >.<

[duckroll]

It's scheduled for 25 episodes for now.

[Westlo]

25.. guess it had to be in that range with its level of animation, at least it won't be drawn out too long like Seven.

[DragoonKain3]

Meh, I only watched the Rahxephon OP repeatedly for pretty much Reika... couldn't even remember what Hemisphere was until I googled it lol. The beat was good IIRC, but the performance was ok at best for me. Now the shorter version of that song on the otherhand, I remember to be much better on her part, but just a shame it was much shorter.

Enjoy!

[Onizuka-GTO]

holy crap.

frontier battle mode...!!!

So different from other Macross capital ship modes!

Macross 7 gave the impression that it was a departure from the original battle mode, and had more of a Valkyrie-like concept, separate gunship, and "hands" to grip it.


i guess by 25th fleet design, they abandoned the necessary of it, and reverted back to the classic design, of incorporating weapon system into the ship, ala SDF-1 style.


but wow....

I . NEED. TO. WATCH!!

EDIT: woohooo! downloading RAWS NOW!


when are we getting our forum??! the episode aired already!


Do we have to get it SUBBED to have our own forum or what?

[Shouta]

Nuuu, I wanna get to work on this but I'm stuck at actual work with nothing to do! =|

No... The operative word being 'for now'. They do that all the time nowadays instead of flatout saying it's going to be 50 eps.

Also, why do people constantly compare Macross 7's length to Frontier's? The staff in M7 was just bad at creating the story overall. I have much more faith if Kawamori is to be more involved in Frontier. Why not give them the benefit of the doubt of a better 50 episode effort if it goes that?
