Of all the entries to that contest, that one was the only overtly dark one. Wonder if that's related to it winning...

I'll check it out but I'm not particularly excited about it. I wish one of the other pitches won instead.

What is it with Macross introducing jailbait looking like chicks in love triangle war dramas? Freyja is so jailbait that the thought of her being part of the love triangle is going to make me green. Most animes have this lolicon fetish, some take it to an extreme it makes me wonder if Japan is eith...

It's his nickname for Mikumo.

This is going to sound weird coming from me, but I don't get much of a romantic vibe from Freyja and Hayate. There is some nice chemistry between them but they come off more like siblings rather than potential lovers. Nice to see the crowds finding Freyja endearing despite her mistakes. I just hope ...

Heh, Sharon got BTFO.

Interesting bit about Windmerians only living to 30. Explains why Freyja was being pressured into marriage.

So... Was that really it? I guess it's one of those "Now go read the manga" endings. I dunno, kinda felt unsatisfied that it was a Zeon victory.

Anyways, as a whole it was impressive from a visual and action standpoint, but characterization felt pretty rushed at times.

I was curious to see how PA Works would handle a mecha anime and so far they're doing a pretty good job. The battle in episode 2 was particularly well done.

on a side note about S.T.R.A.I.N-who are those characters? been a really long while since i watched this show which also happens to be a personal fave of mine. oh the irony. XD Lavinia and Jessie. Lavinia spent the whole series trying to get into Sara's pants and when she accidentally made out with...

i can only think of one yuri couple that managed to remain relatively unscathed in an darker and edgier work.(that woud Be Psycho Pass') Well, I don't think the list of official yuri couples in shows like these is long enough for you to have many examples to draw from. I'm just talking about bait c...

I doubt it. Yuri bait characters typically have long life expectancies.

It'll be Kaname if anyone, since she's the big sister type and being an old lady (in idol years) means she'll have to 'graduate' sooner rather than later.

Of course, it should also be mentioned that people tend to have selective memories; I'm sure that a lot of fans who watched Macross as hyperactive children would mostly remember it for the cool transforming airplanes firing off Itano circuses and giant spaceships punching other giant spaceships (wh...

Newcomers seem to be fine with it. It's mostly the vets I see complaining about how it's "not Macross."

Macross has never had any shortage of silly. Frontier had plenty of it, and it's no worse than guys flying jets with guitar shaped controllers shooting speakers at things.

When you consider that music apparently has a greater impact on the Var when sung at point blank them being on the battlefield is a given.

I liked the preview episode, but the full episode 1 is superb! I thought Ikenai Borderline was great before, but adding in Hayate's impressive moves just enhances it.

No hesitation on Gundam X, but I wonder which format I should get for Double Zeta. All the other Gundam I own aside from Awakening of the Trailblazer is on DVD and I can't imagine a blu ray transfer will be that much better for something so old. So I'm leaning towards the DVD.

It's really nice for once to have Canada running one of the super powers instead of being absorbed by the US like it usually is.

You should have known the moment his sisters went "GEE I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE OUR BROTHER AGAIN. SURE HOPE NOTHING HAPPENS TO PREVENT US FROM DOING THAT!"

This whole episode beats you over the head with death flags so hard that you should be ashamed of yourself for not seeing it

Your request was reasonable for the most part. You just made it when it wasn't necessary since no major spoilers were posted. Just because summaries or whatnot doesn't say "THIS IS PART OF MUV LUV" in neon writing doesn't make it less true. Even coming into this thread you should have seen...
