OTOH, ever wondered what if Guld was a woman and how the rivalry would have turned out? Most geniuses are. They are loose on some parts and had to over-compensate in other departments. - Tak

I love the Freyja side of the story so far. However, I'm much more "meh" about the Hayate side of the story.
I find Freyja very likeable, and her side of the story has a real charm and magic to it. Walkure is a lot of fun. Freyja's side of the story comes across to me as a very well-written idol/magical girl anime. Hayate honestly seems like a jerk to me so far. That's not to say that Mirage is in the right here. He's being a jerk, and she's being overly uptight and hotheaded. I hope that the Hayate side of the story gets better, but even if it doesn't, I plan to stay for the Freyja side.

I would agree for the most part; it seems like Mirage is uptight and snaps at Hayate because she takes her job very seriously. Hayate is on the defensive, and reacts in an unfortunate but understandable fashion, but his dig at Mirage's timing would seem to her to be extremely petty, because she probably cares more about protecting her charges than putting on a show. Still, it reflects poorly on her abilities as a pilot so she can't deny it, and thus the sparks continue to fly. |

But there's two things that add to it to give me a "he's a jerk" current take on Hayate. 1. Him basically telling Freyja that she's going to fail. I suspect this is supposed to seem like cute teasing leading into an anime romance, but this early on, it just seems callous to me. This is a big deal to Freyja, and it's not like her and Hayate are already an item that have developed a certain chemistry where they tease each other just for fun. 2. Him giving off this "too cool for school" vibe to me. He's already acting like some ace hotshot that the military should bend/break all of its rules for. I'd have much less issue with it if he truly saved the day, but the guy needed to have his own butt bailed out at the start of this episode. And it's not like the antagonists were soundly defeated. Like one of them said, it seemed to me that they might have won if they had pressed on. Hopefully the Hayate/Mirage dynamic ends up being a well-balanced one, and it results in me liking them both more. But for now, the Freyja side of the story is far and away what I like most about Macross Delta.

Yep, I'm really liking Suzuki's singing voice, not so much the OP and the ED. It's not bad, but it isn't memorable either. Then again, everything pales when compared to Ikenai Borderline. XD
As for Hayate and Mirage, definitely feel more Max/Millia than Isamu/Guld. At first I thought Hayate would be another Hikaru/Alto in which they are the top-notch rookie flyer, but his laissez-faire attitude in conjunction with prodigy-level like control of their plane (or in this case the robot) just screams Max to me. Hell, they even gave Hayate the colour blue in contrast to Mirage/Millia's red colour scheme. Which of course is pretty much doom to Freyja ship. Since when did Max/Millia clone never get together? It's like the older Roy/Claudia clones... only death do them part. (crossing fingers for Arad/Kaname ) Speaking of ships, the only other one I see forming is with the Platoon's current ace. In the OP it looks like one of the cook's daughter is watching him while he plays with her younger siblings. Old family friend, maybe?

We think. Anyway, great episode. It made me emotional in all the right places. I think Hayate is something too much of a rebellious youth and Mirage is waaaay too uptight and angry. Makes you wonder what made her become like this. It'll be interesting to see what her exact backstory is. Crossing my fingers for an Emiria appearance. And of course Max and Milia. Freyya is still doing best in the character department. No complaints there. Can't wait until next week.

Aw, c'mon, they always were very gay for each other, like Maverick and Ice.
Anyway, I was vastly amused at the Zentradi captains name being E(a)rnest Johnson. I presume Long John Silver or Dick Miller was taken?
