For some reason, the first episode had me feeling...overwhelmed? But it took a second viewing for me to appreciate it (ergo, I'll follow it).
I love the music so far. I'm just cautiously wondering where the show will go and how it will go.

A pointless observation: Since the girls are supposed to be able to exit their Valkyries easily to do their thing, why are their fighters still designed with the usual single-piece rear-hinged canopy? It would be less stressful on the front pilot and airframe to split it or otherwise give the rear-seater their own hatch.
Though the answer is "because it'll make it look weird when they do the part where someone rescues someone else who is falling through the air." |

ive watched Macross Frontier and now this. Can someone dispel my ignorance and explain wtf is up with pop idols and macross? For a sci-fi anime, wuts up with the magical music? Is it similar to how Robots are powered by Orgasms in Aquarion? Something to boost Blu-ray sales?

That is what everyone is guessing because they are the main characters, but this Macross might do it differently...Kawamori said this about Macross Delta logo last October:

Spoiler for Role of Music in the Original Macross:
Different series manifest the different aspects differently, but the usual Macross formula essentially consists of mecha, music, and a love triangle. |

I'm completely unfamiliar with the franchise but I enjoyed this. While I'm not a fan of the male and female leads this reminded me of AKB0048 is a lot of ways which is good as I loved that. Can't wait for the real first episode to air in April.

If you want a taste of the backstory, I would suggest you watch the Macross Movie: Do You Remember Love? (1984) and the Macross Plus OAVs (1994(?)). |

There is always something magical about music in Macross. But they are usually pretty low key. The most over the top one among previous series would be Macross 7 with it's kamehameha Dragonball Z style song power. Let's see if Delta can top that, or did it already ? lol.

Macross Delta Original Work and Chief Direction: Kawamori Shouji AKB0048 Original Work and Chief Direction: Kawamori Shouji So I'm sure he watched it before he made Macross Delta. I'm really hoping the subsequent episodes will focus more on story and less on ridiculous. It is saying something that the Macross universe has come down to girls dancing around in the battlefield as being more protected and overpowered than the mechs fighting in the war. It begs to question why aren't the mechs equipped with such awesome technology themselves to reduce casualties.

so has anyone tried ballet dancing with a forklift before?, the ones without arms & legs by the way........
something tells me Walkure's idol outfits are like a direct evolution of the EX-Gear power suits, except they now can fight toe to toe with units or enemies twice their size & amplify their strength, like they can now lift things twice their body mass, its only about time if they can also perform independent Space Fold travel by themselves , just hope they didn't render Variable Fighters & any other units obsolete.......... Roy Focker might be rolling in his grave......... |

despite the aeronautics themed names of some of the characters, somebody joked that the new Macross ship captain Earnest Johnson's name almost sounded like a throwaway porno name title, it does not help he's also HUGE, can the Macross ship that he'd commanded compensate for his junk?
i wonder if they can apply those Walkure boomerang drones at a larger scale, possibly with its own internal power source to be used for the versions made for the typical fighter units & battleships, seriously those things are useful at defensive tactics that could withstand missile barrages, still not sure at the effectiveness against energy based weaponry though. |

So, what I am looking forward to (and probably will not be met, but what the hell, I can dream)...
1. Max & Milia cameo (preferably with Macross 7), showing Delta how fighting is done! 2. Basara rocking with Walkure 3. Sheryl Nome leading the Walkure, showing whose boss! Yeah, I am one greedy SOB. Quote:
