There's something kinda magical about an unknown girl beating out hundreds of other competitors to land the breakout role ... of an unknown girl beating out hundreds of other competitors to land a breakout role.

I'm sure it helps the VA with the characterization, too.

They held auditions for Freyja at the end of 2014 and they had like 10000 people audition for it or something. Just like for Frontier they wanted a new talent for the role of the new talent

Well, depending on who Mirage's dad was, she could be either 3/4 human or 1/4 human.

I know they haven't said which of the Jenius girls is Mirage's mom, but I hope it's this one.



The macross wiki says that Mylene is her aunt, but i don't know if that's actually true or not.

Miranda is her mom according to some TV interview I think. And that's Komilia that's being tossed if I recall.

Also, if Mirage's mom is one of Max and Millia's kids, and she is, then Mylene is her aunt by default.

Right, if she is her aunt it just narrows the field of contenders by one. And yeah, that's their first so it's Komilla in macrossbabytoss.gif

It's pretty repetitive from what I remember, so it depends on how much you like the music and characters.

This person didn't buy the Animeigo DVDs. :smugbert:

You should rewatch the Macross 7 movie to figure out who Mirage's mom is. It's probably not Emilia.

It really is way too long. 49 episodes and a 4 episode OVA. They pretty clearly didn't have enough story for 49 episodes, and probably not enough budget with all the reused animation throughout.

CAPTAIN WORD SALAD

OFF MY MEDS AGAIN PLEASE DON'T USE BIG WORDS

UNNECESSARY LINE BREAK
I have seen the first 3 episodes. I have no strong feelings.

Expected to despise it because idol singer jpop moe poo poo is a fair bit of why I don't like the animu in spite of like reading Fred Schodt books in 1989 once the back end of Robotech Art 1 told me what all this cool robot poo poo was from.

I didn't hate it but wasn't wowed either. Reminds me a bit of G Reconguista in it being weird people acting weird in future space times and nobody does things that are rational or relatable to my 41 year old American rear end.

Because it's Macross I'll give it a couple more episodes but probably not as many as I gave Reco before giving up on it for being full of unrelatable weirdoes even more than anime is full of to begin with.

The robots aren't very cool either. But I wasn't a fan of Frontier's rides all that much and the main one seems a bit evolved from it with some cues from the buttload of Valks in the Dreamcast game.

Harmony Gold still eats a big pile of herpes laden goat scrotums though.

Harmony Gold is the company that acquired the rights to Macross in the west effectively in perpetuity back in the 80s when anime producers assumed there was no real audience over here for their shows and wanted to make a quick buck. Harmony Gold used those rights to create Robotech and not a whole lot ever since. They are notoriously litigious about anything related to the franchise despite sitting on it for almost two decades now and are pretty much the entire reason why Macross Delta isn't being simulcast on something like Crunchyroll or Daisuki like basically every other major anime series today, as nobody is willing to risk the costs of being dragged into court by HG regardless of the eventual outcome.

This is mostly true. They have the rights to the Mechs or something, but not the actual anime. Or vice versa? They hosed up getting the rights and never realized it until it was too late and didn't bother to try to fix it. Either way, they can't release Macross in the US for real either. At least as far as I've read. There are people on the Macross World forums that have researched this a lot.

Not really. They're into real estate development too. I think they're a conglomerate that will just keep going forever.

Probably. They just don't give a gently caress/don't know what the gently caress to do with the rights they have for Macross.

Yeah, it's pretty muddy. The important point is that they believe they own enough of a claim to the franchise that they can attempt to legally bully anyone trying to do anything related to the franchise, which is enough to scare most people off bothering to try because it's not worth the legal fees.
