Macross F just hit holy shit awesome territory. I already have a theory about that mysterious crimson plane:
I think it and the pilot have something to do with the Megaroad-1 disappearing without a trace in the center of the galaxy. Since he seems human is aware of culture, I'm thinking he maybe a descendant of those on board MEgaroad-1. Maybe they found something to colonize/new technology etc at the center of the universe.
I think I saw a NUNS on the side of his VF-27. Wasn't NUNS formed after Megaroad-1 leaving?

The Monster reminds me of how awesome a Battletech show would be. :sigh:

It also seems odd that they'd fold into Galaxy fleet, not actually see the Galaxy, then the previews show slice of life clips.

I believe they only reached the area where the 6 Galaxy fleet ships defolded from in episode 6:



I'm not too sure if they even know correctly where the M-GALAXY's position actually is due to the fold dislocation. Probably why they end up going back to the M-FRONTIER as in the episode 8 previews....

You mean this pic?



Shit, I don't even know what NUNS is....care to enlighten? The nature and design of their aircraft are very similar to the SMSs variable VF fighters so I'm guessing they're some what related. I'm guessing they're from another Macross Colony Fleet. I don't think they have anything to do with the MEGAROAD-01 though....

And yes, the pilot of the crimson fighter is obviously related to or somehow connected to Ranka. He uses that silver harmonica to play a few bars from Ranka's "lost" song, the song that is her only memory from her life with the 117th Fleet. He could be a survivor from that fleet too. Maybe.


And why is the introduction to episode 7 so screwy? It mentions that M-GALAXY was the 21st Mass Colonization Fleet and was launched several years before the M-FRONTIER. But in the opening shot we see that amongst the original colony fleets that left Earth in 2012,

the M-FRONTIER is clearly seen (right-hand side).

M-GALAXY isn't seen until after MEGAROAD-04 discovers and inhabits Eden:

(M-GALAXY is seen above Eden moving away from the planet).


Something screwy going on here......

I believe NUNS stands for New UN Spacey(Spacy?). I think it was formed sometime during or after Macross7. Where I read this is slipping my mind.

Well, I managed to answer my own question it seems...

The first Macross Frontier soundtrack will be released next month and seems to include all the songs so far featured in the TV series. A definite must-buy for me. I haven't been this excited about a soundtrack release since Haruhi and SEED Destiny.......speaking of which, did you all know that Aya Hirano and Rie Tanaka are featured in Macross F?

Aya Hirano and Rie Tanaka are two of the bridge bunnies. Rie is instantly recognizable (Suigintou hrhr), but Aya isn't using her Haruhi voice it seems.

One track title from that soundtrack really jumps out at me:

アイモ~鳥のひと

"Aimo ~ Tori no Hito". Bird Man. Sup Macross Zero

Ha, didn't notice that actually. I was trying to figure something else out:

What is the difference between songs #10 アイモ and #21 アイモ~鳥のひと? I know that it was mentioned on the official website that the latter was played in episode 3 during Gilliam's funeral/sending off. I assume アイモ was the ED themes for episode 1 and 7, but both songs seem exactly the same...

Well, Bigblah, looks like the bird human in the songlist was there for a reason. Episode 10 was a Macross ZERO episode!!

Spoiler:
The gang heads off to one of the tropical island ships for the filming of the Macross ZERO movie. Strangely enough, it's referred to in the episode as a "biographical film on Shin Kudo", the main protaganist in ZERO. The part of Sara is played by the Miss Macross winner, Miranda Meilin. Ranka only has a bit-part (as "Mayan girl A"), but after the director hears her sing "Aimo" on the cliff he decides to use her song for the movie instead of the song provided by Sheryl. As the original actress for the role is unavailable due to an accident, Ranka is then offered the role of Sara Nome's sister, Mao, as well.

A lot scenes from the original OVA are used with some subtle changes:

Spoiler:
Macross Zero

Macross Frontier


Macross Zero

Macross Frontier


Macross Zero

Macross Frontier


Macross Zero

Macross Frontier


And it turns out someone isn't entirely human.....
Spoiler:




I was kinda' hoping they were gonna say something about whether or not Sheryl was related to the Nome sisters, with them having the same surname and all....

And Ozma mentions how Ranka has gotten "Dr. Mao's" part. So after the events of ZERO, Mao left the Mayan islands to study? Interesting.........


Hmmmmm.........

Due to interest in Frontier, I've been going back and watching the original series for the first time. It's quite interesting, what with all the rampant 80's-ness to it (I haven't seen so many seizure-inducing screen flashes in ages) and seeing all the things that Frontier is making references to. It's all quite fun and I look forward to finishing the rest of the series (already acquired Macross Plus) at some point.

The female protagonists kind of make me rage, though. I figured Minmay would be a nice cute girl, but she's actually kind of a jerk in a huge way. I guess it could be her age, but she has no delicacy with choosing her words around the company she's in. I find Misa to be much more preferable, but then again she's still hopelessly stuck on her first beau. Ah well.

More series need someone Focker/Global-esque. Awesome dudes.

I'm looking for a torrent of the original series I haven't seen it in decade or so. If someone can find me some neat dvd rips, preferably not exceeding 200mb per episode, so that my interwebs can handle the size.

I enjoyed that Macross Zero episode, although the fight scene looked really out of place (according to some people it was purposely done that way by a guest animator).

I see the film makers of Macross have taken to the Charlie Chan method of characterization.
