They do at least fly on the robots.

Wild speculation time:

Mikumo is a vocaloid. That's why her age and everything is a mystery and she can make that W gang sign one handed so easily.

Seriously, try to do it yourself.

Oh, there's new stuff throughout the episode. Not a lot more added to the end of that preview version, but the main dude hops in a mech and starts fightdancing, so that's pretty cool.


Ikenai Borderline continues to be amazing.

It's too bad for the heart haired girl that Max and Milia's granddaughter is going to win the love triangle.

They can both win. :colbert:

I'm curious to see what the windemere thing is all about, since the badguy squad also seems to have the dealies in their hair like Freyja does; although theirs are cross, rather than heart-shaped.

Having spent many a holiday camping in the Lake District as a young lad, the crazy power thing being called Windermere makes me lol

Here in seattle it's a real estate company named after a part of town that is named after that very same Lake District.

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.

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!

Someone theorized it earlier, but I'm also now on board with the idea that Purple Idol is an AI/android. Punching out of the ground, ~mysterious living arrangements ~. Maybe Vers syndrome is nanomachine based and that's why she can fix it.

Also, Green and Red are totally a couple.

She's obviously the third part of the triangle, she can be that without being a cliched tsundere character though. I like all of the three, they're spunky and tease each other and generally interact in interesting ways.

Macross always has good couples/trios who interact in great ways. It's one of the main reasons I still love the series.

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.

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

So are the Windermere-Ian's an alien species, or some weird humanity offshoot from another colony ship? Some of their stuff from the beginning of this episode reminded me of the :birddrugs: from Macross Zero.

While they haven't said, my guess is modified humans just based on how they and, for example, their shortened lifespan have been discussed so far.

Speaking of modified humans, I like that the people of the sea planet have gills.

I've only ever watched the original Macross, and then only as Robotech, but its one of my favorite pieces of Science Fiction and one of the formative works of my youth. Would I like this crazy new idol-anime-looking Macross? I'm living in Japan so I saw a bunch of ads for it but I'm nervous about being a huge loving grognard about it not being MUH SERIOUS SPECULATIVE FICTION SPACE WAR EPIC.

As a kid Robotech was Extremely My poo poo as well, and when i decided to watch Frontier (nearly 25 years later) i wasn't sure what i was going to be getting in to. I ended up loving it and it led to me watching the original SDF Macross and i ended up loving that more than even my nostalgia for Robotech led me to believe i might.

That said, i still think it's probable that you wouldn't like this iteration of the series. I'm just sayin, you never know!

Anyway, Macross Plus would be a good place to start if you do want to revisit the franchise.
