I saw that webm of a robot breakdancing to a nice tune and now I have to watch this show.

There's no reason to go back and watch the January preview if I saw ep01, right?

Based on what other people said, the preview is just 01 minus the last few minutes.

Well one of them has a drop shaped hair thing, so they could just come in all sorts of shapes.

Oh, i'm sure they do. It's not the shapes i'm curious about, more that the entire Bad Team has them while no one ('til Freyja) has them on the Good Team. At least as far as i can tell.

Well that was my point, one of the bad guys doesn't have a star shaped one, but a tear drop shaped one.

Wait, rad as heck purple girl isn't even in the running? It is between the pilot lady and the insufferable hair tentacle girl?

I think purple girl has her own guy - the current leader of Delta Squadron. Presumably, they'll be the older and wiser couple spectating on the main characters' hormonal antics. Messy death optional but possible for one or both of them.

I don't really care about who she gets together with, but she isn't one of the two heroines. I mean just look at that promo picture, she is in the background with all the scrubs.

So, the word is that the Japanese Blurays will have English subs on them.

Well, Kawamori has expressed annoyance at not being able to do simultaneous streams of new Macross like new Gundam shows can - so this might be his work around. Not that it's likely to work without (a) a lot of attention being drawn to it and (b) a saner price and amount of content than Japan usually goes for.

Why are people confused by the runes (hair things)? I thought the episode made it pretty clear that the Widemerans are a distinct type of humanoid like the marsupial people from Dynamite 7 and those are just an aspect of their biology.

Guess we’re going to be doing this (read: committing to it) since Real Legal Anime Sites can’t deal with the licensing clusterfuck that is called Macross. Episode 1 has quite a few changes from the Preview episode (better animation, some change in dialogue, new content toward the end, etc). Enjoy!

I snickered when Hayate's sudden I FEEL THE WIND revelation distracts him and he gets shot down.

It felt very much like a "I'm a leaf on the wind" moment for me. Good thing this didn't happen in the last episode or the movie!

The second episode is also really good! I love the OP, I love the weird cat-seals, I love what a little poo poo Hayate is, I love the giant captain, I love pilot lady's angry face, I love... just about everything! The ED's a bit less impressive, perhaps, but it's still good. Her voice in it really sounds like Ranka's.
