All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.
I see the new ED title is "Northern Cross." I wonder if that is a jab at the bastardization of SDF that became Robotech. The second part of Robotech was of course, a heavily edited version of the series Southern Cross. I like it a little more than the previous ED, and the concept art is a nice touch too.
This episode pissed me off. For a number of reasons. We still don't know what's going on with Sheryl's illness. Is she getting better, or is she dying? The fever keeps coming back at the most random of times.
Then there's Ranka's complicity in this plan. It seemed like the last two episodes she was ready to jump to the pacifist camp, and now she's happily going along with all of it.
Sheryl on the other hand doesn't even seem to have a role in the series anymore. They were pushing towards the Alto-Ranka ending with his huge desire to protect her (now more competetive because he keeps losing to Brera), and Sheryl got a "assumed sexual encounter" and an almost kiss while he looked at her earring.
What's a Sheryl fan to do? They seem to be cutting out her role more and more, and I really don't see where she's going to come back into the story. Maybe she will continue to persue piloting and we can get an Max-Milia style ending for the two (though that's probably more in line with what will happen with Mikael and Klan). Even everyone on Frontier seems to have forgotten about Sheryl. She better seduce Alto fast and sire a brood from him or she won't have anything to do.
But I do like the SMS Owner's plan. Make travel fast, cheap, and easy so that everyone can keep in contact and live peacefully, making the galaxy a single community.
It makes me sad too, I see the ending going to Ranka's direction. About Sheryl's illness, Micheal noticed something wierd about her medicine right? He should make a move already, or else Sheryl might die
Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.
Proud to say that I just began watching SDF Macross. Hopefully I'll be done with everything to do with Macross in a month's time or so, and be in position to start this series.
See you guys when the time comes.
"lets put a smile on that face" *cough*
the episode was ok... not one of the best but ok.
The new Aimo song isn't that good because I don't like the music but it has very good new lyrics.
so, Alto got promoted eh? cool.. and the galaxy-fighter seems to get mass produced now! very cool too, because they look more agile and much better than Alto's unit.
I request a .gif from that security guy getting a kiss from sheryl... this was one of the worst scenes I've ever seen in macross... the face... and then his hand getting closer to the kiss-spot, it looked so horrible funny.
There was only one VF-27 wasn't there? I thought I saw two, but then I couldn't find it again, so it could have been Brera zipping around. As of yet, I'm still thinking whether the whole of Galaxy's in this scheme with Grace, or if it's just a few selected individuals who are going askew with their budgetless experiments.

Apparently while no one was looking a squadron of Galaxy fighers joined up with the Frontier fleet. They could have come from those ships that were rescued back in the ep where Sheryl and Ranka did their Fold Space duet and Macross Quarter blew up that capital ship Brera was hiding in.
I'm also distressed about Sheryl's diminishing role as well. Unless her illness is discovered and addressed I think the most we can hope for from her now is a tragic death that has a meaningful impact on the other characters. I don't see anything else that could happen involving her being given much more attention.
Oh no... I love Sheryl... I hope they don't kill her off.
Does anyone know what this is?

Well the file is gigantic, but the quality is Fucking A, it's worth it if you got a 2560x display 28" plus otherwise, just don't bother you won't see the difference because your monitor won't keep up.
Guys, standard displays (19" to 24") not keeping up, sheeeiiittttt.
So..........can you tell us what it is?Originally Posted by Inazuma

First ep of the series
Macross Frontier Episode 1 in ultra Bluray Hi Def
Oh, okay. If it's the deculture version, I might consider it should I save enough quota up.

Blue ray huh? Im gonna watch it on my CRT Flatscreen monitor. lol
Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.
Ugh, this episode only convinced me we need a lot more Klan/Mikael. Klan was so cute in this episode, particularly when she got discovered fixing her hair, and when he dropped her on his lap and she starts blushing.
We have not had nearly enough Klan overall.
Are those eggs on the Quarter or somewhere hidden on the Macross? They kind of look like the same critter Ai-kun is. We knew from the Research Fleet Macross vessel that the Vajra have a lot more forms than the two or three we always see.
Though we might be better off calling them Borg-Zerg.
This episode was a huge homage to episode 18 of SDF-1.
[spoilers of SDF-1]
- Roy Focker in SDF-1 was also the leader of Skull Squadron.
- The scene where the techs look into the cockpit is pretty much the same, the only difference being they show all the blood.
- Claudia in SDF-1 also makes a mean Pineapple cake. (You can see the similarity in their names despite Bobby actually being in Claudia's bridge position.)

Damn... they really had me thinking Ozma would die in this ep.
4 times actually!
I rewatched Ozma's "death scene" a couple of times over. It sure would have worked out well if he did bite the dust, but no complains here. I sure hope this means we get to see some more Ozma x Kathy. I'd love to see the look on Leon's face when he learns he lost to a mere pilot.
Plot moves yet another step, with Mikael putting the pieces of the puzzle together, while Grace is about to learn her unfortunate truth. Luca's rather passive role just got a bit more interesting this episode. Sure, he's good natured and all, and seems true enough to his friends, but he's now got his family business to think about, with the discovery of the Fold Quartz. I'm expecting him to end up siding with Alto, but there'll be some backstabbing before that I'd think.
As for Grace, lets say I didn't think they'd take we to a literal level.
