Who cares about something already seen? Not to mention you can see whenever you like just by downloading it from Internet?

I don't know. It just feels right to start things off that way to me. Most American TV shows do that when they are in need of serious catch-up. I do share the discontent that we're basically waiting another week.

Anyway I asked some pages ago if that monster thing is a "mobile armor" or an organic being, can someone answer please?

Besides, it won't be the same footage. That's why the preview was labeled as "director's cut".

It's neither, it's a digital being that has invade this reality, oh snap! its the ANTI-SPIRAL!!!!

*put shades on/cross armed Valkyrie shadow behind a UN SPACY Flag*

WHO DO YOU THINK YOU'RE TALKING TO??!!!?! - which is what i want to say.



The answer is we don't know.

could be a cyborg, a fusion of biological and machine. It could be a exoskeleton suit for a creature like that, it could be a piloted mecha with a weak pilot creature, it could be just a robot.

We don't know.

the only clue we have right now, is that it looks like it mimics some sort of biological creature, and that some of it's weapons such as the missile decoy pods look organic in nature.

Hey, Kaoishin, thanks for the suggestion. I watched the preview of the first ep (maybe the real broadcast version will be a little different) and liked it. The fighting isn't my thing, but it seemed pretty well done, with some good animation.

And there were some possible relationsips happening. Endou Aya's character (Sheryl) was striking; Aya did a nice job with her. And the same for Lanka (Ranka?), the young girl: I thought she was an interesting combination of forward and shy, and I thought the young seiyuu (Nakajima Megumi, 18) debuting with the role was strong. I liked the way Alto's character was portrayed, too, mostly thanks to the script and animation, but also thanks to Nakamura Yuuichi (Tomoya in Clannad).

Anyway, here are links to Nakajima Megumi's website and blog, and here is a photo (left):




Just for good measure, here is a link to Endou Aya's blog, and her photo is in the middle above. She's 28, and after getting her big break as Miyuki in Lucky Star, this year she has three starring roles: this one, Lena in My-Otome 0~S.ifr~, and Angie in the new Angelique series. (She was also Imari in Inukami, Rukina in Kiss Dum, and Kinue Crossroad in Gundam00).

And I've added a photo of Nakamura Yuuichi. He was Abe in Ookiku Furikabutte, and Graham Aker in Gundam00, as well as Tomoya. He's also 28. Here are his website, and his agency site.

Hopefully they won't be that obvious, even after six viewings.

Well we will see, this will be the first MF analysis of the Director's skill.

While I hope to see some new scenes, im quite confident that we won't see too much difference in the interpretation of the action.

[Westlo]

I would be over double digits if the second half wasn't so much better than the first... I've seen the second half of episode 1 about 20 times Onizuka

[diablo12]

second insert song "What's about my star" 1 min sample came out few days ago, I love it very much. Do anybody know "starring May'n" refer to who? The girl play the music part of Sheryl Nome?

[Westlo]

May'n is the Japanese j pop singer they have hired to do all the Sheryl tracks and yeah I really like that 1 min sample of "What's about my star".

Btw Macross Frontier OST 1 dated!

And the cover for the Diamond Crevasse/Don’t Be Late CD Single



New avatar time!

[Shiroth]

Brilliant news about the first OST release --- it's always good news when the soundtrack information appears before the airing of the first episode. Just have to wait for it to appear on CDjapan before i can preorder.

Gotta wonder what the first press gift will be.

[pinoy78]

Excellent news about the OST.

Sheryl is looking rather delicious as well, the nails are quite diva-ish.

[Onizuka-GTO]

sheryl reminds me of that blonde singer from Macross 7, you know the other Galaxy Network star?

forgot her name....

[Westlo]

Correct me if I'm wrong (with a link to it!) but there hasn't been a leak of Diamond Crevasse yet right? Guess this is what I'm looking forward to the most tomorrow!

[orion]

Did TBS show episode 1 a day ahead of schedule?

[Shouta]

I don't think so. It might be someone grabbing the Deculture Edition of Ep 1 and putting it out.

[orion]

Yeah, it does say "Deculture edition" at the end after I played it.

[Dandruff]

Wow, I really loved the pilot, couldn't take my eyes off the eye candy visuals. Felt like such a nerd for catching the all references to the past Macross tv series and the OVAS/movies, but it was all sweeeet. Lookin' forward for more which will be quite soon, haha.

Just a little something I noticed, don't know if it was already mentioned in this thread but whatever xP

Spoiler:

Destination Satelight, haha.

[harmonious]

Do I need to watch the previous Macross series to understand Frontier?

[Westlo]

No you do not.
