Nice episode, but there's so many quality moments and watching it on the crappiest RAW file ever (flv like last week) isn't helping, but I can't wait for my Macross fix any more so I don't care.

Enjoyable episode though

Just finished watching the raw (720p). A pretty hilarious episode.

Wasn't it shown on screen that Galaxy was pretty much destroyed?

Exactly.

Which is why I am ever-hopeful that the Fire Valkyrie is going to fly out of nowhere sometime and start popping off Speaker Pods.

o_o;

Animation wise, it seems it would improve drastically by next episode. If this is the manner of delivering filler episodes after a big bang, I prefer this than reusing footages from the previous and condense it as a 'Leon's Report' episode like so many TV series done it. Or heck, like the weird dreams Hikaru had on the Macross episode "Phantasm".

This filler episode is a small price to pay IMO to transition to the next arc if that's the case.

According to a Japanese speaker on MW the Dulfim (the ship from Galaxy we see docked with Frontier) doesn't know about the location of Macross Galaxy.

herbert · 2008-05-22, 21:05

Anyone knows about ED of this episode? New one, Diamond Crevasse or Aimo?

Westlo · 2008-05-22, 21:07

Diamond Crevesse again.

SymphonicRain · 2008-05-22, 21:07

Still Diamond Crevasse.

ani_d · 2008-05-22, 21:12

If you ask me, the inconsistent animation wasn't THAT bad. Some scenes were actually pretty good, and the 'crappy' ones aren't really that crappy.

About the preview...

New uniform makes Ranka look Fat

Looks like Nanase's drawing of Ranka's costume came true- somewhat

Didn't know they grew Zent sized food. Grace with her holoprojectors and video feed was a treat though.

Animation and art took a major hit this week [Nanase added a few cup sizes]. Not a problem, Alto getting pwned again by Sheryl balances it out

He really is in an SM relationship with her. Being in close proximity is enough to cause him great discomfort and physical pain.

Sheryl derives great pleasure tormenting him.

Looks like the earing blew up with his ship.

Alto looks set to be the butler/slave for life.

So this is the equivalent of Code Geass R2 Episode 05 excepting that that one actually had good animation. I'm going to have a blast with this one I bet.

Lugia_Tsuyu · 2008-05-22, 21:55

Somehow I feel like I want to go for Brera x Runka =_=, He's such an interesting character (don't forget handsome.)

Kaoru Chujo · 2008-05-22, 21:58

Enjoyable enough, but far from my favorite episode. Sheryl is definitely getting a real character, however: delightful but dangerous. I hope she doesn't hurt Ranka. And I hope this doesn't degenerate any closer to standard high-school comedy.

The animation, or at least the drawing, was execrable, the worst so far. Speaking as someone who generally is very forgiving of off-model drawing, some of the drawing in this ep disturbed even me. The people looked very weird at times.

I checked the end-credits, and all the animation credits are Japanese individuals, except for one company, which is Satellite Osaka. No probem with the backgrounds, for which I think I see Philippine names.

DwArD mAnIaC Join Date: Apr 2003 Location: Somewhere In This World Age: 29	Just finished watching the raw (720p). A pretty hilarious episode. Spoiler: Loved the part where all the boys go crazy over Sheryl's pantsu. Its Alto who saved the day in the end. The last scene was pretty 'disturbing' though. For Alto that is. Can't believe Sheryl actually transferred to Alto's school and into the same piloting course as Alto. __________________ If man does find the solution for world peace it will be the most revolutionary reversal of his record we have ever known.

SymphonicRain Senior Member Join Date: May 2008	Spoiler: The show beginning with Ranka in a carrot suit singing a cute song rendered me speechless. ^.^; Poor Ranka, got ignored though. Overall its a filler easy-going, have-fun episode compared to the previous which I personally welcome it after all the tensions involved in the episodes before. Though isn't Sheryl supposed to return to Galaxy? Heck, she even have time to enroll into a pilot class.

Spoiler: This is a nice break after the intense battle last week. Sheryl just keeps stealing Ranka's thunder and this episode can't get anymore obvious. You gotta love Ranka though. Especially when she asked the green thing to listen to her now that the jerk Alto's not there for her anymore. Seems like things are getting harder and harder on her after episode four. I'm loving her even more even if her bloody carrot song is stuck in my head. There's definitely a light at the end of the tunnel for this girl. 10/10. The animation didn't bother me at all. I really like this episode and I can't wait to see how things progress from here. I'm just thinking, Alto needs to get a clue. 90% of the time, he's like a moping PMS-ing princess bored to his wits. I hope Michael's 'friendly' fire gets him good next episode. Really GOOD. Anyway, Harmonica guy's entrance had a sinister feel to it so I think he's bad news, but I like him already lol As for Sheryl and the pilot thing, she probably wanted to be in the pilot course because she's falling for Alto and his EX GEAR. But I doubt she'd drop singing for piloting. About the preview... Spoiler: The bloody lady sitting in a chair looks like Cathy to me. :\| If I hadn't seen her this episode, I would've said she committed suicide because she's so pregnant. J/k
