I think the biggest advantage delta has over frontier is that no one is in high school. Being part of a tactical sound unit is a full time job!

Aside how from one of them is a mechanic because they don't have enough mechanics or something.

edit: she's still my favourite but you would think that kind of work would be bad for an idol's skin at the very least

Hayate to my knowledge hasn't done a cross-dressing prison break rock concert so I don't really think it's much of a contest.

Well, I guess that explains why Bogue was never much of a match for Hayate.

Yep.

I thought he'd leave then come back in the final few episodes before he got pineappled.

Does the idea of love scare Mirage or is she worried that someone else (like Freyja) is going to make a move on Hayate?

On a slightly different note, I think I like Axia the best out of all the songs they've had in the show.

Doesn't hurt that it played over Messer going out exactly in the way he should have. RIP, but I think Hayate's not going to hold back the next time he has Bogue dead to rights

Watching Macross, I didn't expect such a gruesome death. Then again my experience with Macross is limited to Plus, some of 7 I think? and Frontier... Then again, Plus had some gruesome deaths in it I think, too, but that was on par for being an OVA/the time it was released?

Edit: Damnit, I would have legit wanted to see Kaname and Messer actually pairing up.

Anyway, in and among all the other huge poo poo that happened seeing Mikumo completely shaken and even taken out by...whatever the hell happened with the songs and runes and feedback was a hell of a shock. She's always so drat unflappable and whatever happened there messed her up big time. RIP Messer, at least you went out like you wanted to, but god drat i was hoping you'd have at least wounded the fucker that did it.

So I guess that mysterious bomb no one can agree on was actually related to protoculture ruins. And then it seems the epsilon foundation serves as the mysterious third faction that is secretly behind everything.

Pish posh, what are you talking about? There's no way that a mysterious third party organization studying the protoculture ruins and providing mysterious power boosters that increase the strength of the evil magic mind control song at the cost of slowly killing the Prince singing the song can possibly be sinister and/or evil.

Yeah, I got a serious Dominion of Fezzan vibe from them.

Awesome episode though. I'm really not as big a fan of the music for this series, I think Kanno did a way better job with Plus and Frontier, but gosh darn it everything else is awesome!

Was that some cliffhanger for a break or something? When's the next episode?????/

Uh, did we get that "MESSER MAKES MY RUNE LIGHT UP" thing with Keith earlier, too? Because that might just be the gayest thing I've seen in this show, even including all the Walkure stuff.

That's not even a complaint, the post-jellyfish-festival parts of this episode were pretty amazing. :aaaaa: Even when I'd browsed the thread and seen what was coming at the end it was still a gut-punch.

...now I'm torn between "I want Messer back" and "don't you dare bring him back with some writing cop-out". :argh:

Yes, last week's episode. They fought, Keith left (because they had achieved their objective, scanning the ruins), and as he flew away he said "It's been a while since my Rune shone this brightly."

But what's more important is will we get an onscreen kiss between Pink n Green already, stop dragging it out :argh:

Guys, I really tried to give this show another shot. It just won't take with me. Is there a certain early episode where it really comes together? The first two didn't do anything for me...well, aside from some slick gangsigns by the singers.

it kind of takes until episode 3 to start getting to the regular macross pilot stuff so if that's what you like about macross then give it one more episode i guess

if you drop it then i guess it's fine, all that means is that you don't like idols and thus i'll have to mark you on my list

kind of a shame if it doesn't click with you though, for me it's mixing a lot of things i like in macross and outside of it and executing it all really well
