Frontier is basically 7 done "right" to me, in that it's pretty silly and more about just having some fun with a few decent Valkyrie battles but it doesn't have about 20 episodes too many like 7 did. And since the movies dial this up even further I think yeah I prefer those versions as well, though it does still kind of all blend together in mind with the TV series. I mean I'd still prefer Plus/SDF/DYRL but for what it was it was a fun little romp. I'll have to wait and see wrt Delta but yeah the first impression was that it might be a bit much.

Reds posted:I can't see myself sticking with Delta. Macross is just incompatible with me despite my best efforts. I want more of SDF and Plus, not this bizarre magical girl thing. There are better ways to integrate music into your show than going full idol, and then going fuller idol. Macross has been crazy since 7, but still. I would love to watch a series set in a frontier fleet like the opening of Plus but it really doesn't fit current Macross.

things I remember from Macross Frontier: - blonde guy being a huge badass - for some reason "just gently caress both of them" never occurs to Alto and this frustrated me - version of Aimo that has the war drums in it = poo poo GETTIN REAL music - how the gently caress is Lion still stuck in my head nearly a decade later and almost nothing else

I just watched that Delta preview thing. The only other bit of Macross I've seen is a couple episodes of the original 80's show. I feel very, very lost.

Macross is a series of shows about how the power of J-pop can defeat overwhelmingly powerful invading alien armadas by teaching them to love. The power of J-pop powering shield bits doesn't seem that much more of a stretch.

One thing I love about Macross sequels is they take the ending of SDF and run with it. They have technicians and engineers that know aerospace and they now have a culture centered around pop idols. Later series added that strong emotions, normally expressed in song, cause ripples in fold space. Also, I'll note that the shield bits aren't powered by song, it looks like, just controlled that way.

The only thing I really would change about Delta is to not have the bits turn into synchronized dancing holograms. For some reason that really bothered me.

I watched the first two episodes of Plus, I'm sorry it took me so long to finally check it out. It's really great, but where else have I seen this character designer? The face style really sticks out to me, like I've seen it before.

Masayuki has done a bunch if stuff but mostly animation direction, the only other semi well known thing he's done character designs for is Doomed Megalopolis, if you've seen that.

It looks far more likely that they're being gesture controlled. For a start, Walkure aren't even singing when they use the drones to form stagelights right at the start. A few seconds later when they form a shield over some citizens Mikumo makes a gesture towards them with her fingers just before hand. Which is a totally reasonable way of controlling them really. They also use handheld holographic displays to show information. It's still weird that they're making what is essentially a rescue operation in to a concert, but when song is the most effective way to pacify someone after they've been forced in to a berserk state I suppose it's not completely stupid to have a team of songstresses acting as spies and patrolling the area before they bust out a concert and use drones to move around the battlefield, protect themselves and civilians and then sing at the enemies to calm them down. It's fun as gently caress though, which is all that counts really. tsob fucked around with this message at 20:58 on Jan 4, 2016 |

So, the bad (?) valkyrie team have at least a few members with the light up dealie in their hair like Freja does. Did anyone else in Walkure? They recognized her as a Windermere in any case.

I just noticed msubs have been subbing Brave of Gold Goldran. I'm sure that's exciting to someone. Edit: After further research they've been going at it since 2009 so it's not exactly cutting edge news i guess. Droyer fucked around with this message at 05:07 on Jan 5, 2016 |

If there's a murder-plague going around and the only way to fix it is with idol concerts, then it's your duty to splurge on high-tech visual effects and put on the best drat concert you can. Like, seriously, I think that's the actual explanation for all the fancy lighting and little dancing drone-holograms.

I get the feeling the full explanation beyond "music cures the plague" will be a quick "music heals this because fold technobabble, don't think too hard about it" and questions such as "would it work if you played a recording" or "do you really need full magical girls and concerts and a big light show or is just the music good enough, do you need to be up in their faces or can you play it over speakers" or "would death metal be more effective than j-pop, do you need instruments or can it be just raw singing" are not going to addressed. Just sit back and enjoy your magical girl idols, I guess.

They seem to be going with the Frontier thing of 'emotion can generate fold-space effects with the right technology, and we're going with music because tradition'. If it's about conveying emotion through art to fry the virus, then a visual component is just as much of a plus as an aural one. It being a daft, off-the-wall concept doesn't mean they haven't put thought into it.
