>About the transforming bike, there was a plan for "AD Patrol" (unpublished) that was a story of the city police. The main character rides a motorbike, which changes into his partner robot. That’s why the design drawing of the bike has "police" on it as the very first set up. We created the concept of a motorbike transforming into a fortified suit back then. So, it’s rooted on the future police story.

They were already armed when they were launched. They were literally going to be death from above.

So desperate was the Liberation Force to defeat the Inbit that they were willing to sacrifice not only their own ground forces but all life on Earth.

The stuff with the english text comes from the 'Imai Files,' a pdf created by one Roger Harkavy. He had a friend in Japan who obtained a bunch of stuff from Imai after it went bankrupt. Among these were several envelopes, one containing design concepts from Artmic for Mospeada and the others containing concept designs for what would become Southern Cross.

Roger scanned the unpublished stuff & released it as a pdf back in 2010.

Here we have some armour designs, back when Southern Cross was supposed to be 'Sci-Fi Sengoku.'

Mospeada, I like this anime. The bikes that transform in your armour was so cool. I dreamed to have one to go to school.

I suppose it's for armament variation. There are instances where the missile launchers would be necessary, and then there are times when the laser cannon would suffice.

Considering the military experience Stick has over Ray, and how seldom seen the missile launchers are on other soldiers, they must require greater skill to use over the laser cannon.

>>13622244

If we do get a remake of the series, think it should also explain how Houquet and Yellow getting their Bartley L and Blowsperior respectively, especially with Yellow, due to the fact he had no Blowsperior in that flashback in episode 11.

You'll notice in the first episode that Stick has his Mospeada stored on board the Legioss. Odds are that Yellow had the Blowsuperior stored aboard his Legioss as well.

As for Houquet, one can imagine she probably acquired the Bartley the same way that Ray found his Mospeada: she must have salvaged it from a wreck or military ruins.

>>You'll notice in the first episode that Stick has his Mospeada stored on board the Legioss. Odds are that Yellow had the Blowsuperior stored aboard his Legioss as well.

First of all, he wasn't piloting a Legioss in that flashback. He was piloting this: A AF-03C Combat heavy fighter/bomber. Second, he wasn't dragging a Blowsperior with him when he ditched Donna to continue his fight with the Inbit. Meaning he could have found the Blowsperior in some military ruins like Ray, and as you say, Houquet did.

Also, given that Lim Dal-Young (Freezing, Kurokami) was involved with Gundam (discussion starting from >>13577331), how would a MOSPEADA remake be pulled off if he were involved?

I had to rewatch the episode but you are correct. Yellow was with the First Invasion Fleet and therefore would have been piloting a Combat.

However, it's possible he had the Blowsuperior stored on board the craft and only came back for it later.

Won't count on it. If you recall the dimensions (maneuver slave mode: overall height 3.85 meters; maneuver craft mode: overall height 0.94 meters, overall length 3.96 meters, overall width 1.35 meters), especially with how Shogo barely avoided the authorities in Part I, remaking the Garland will be difficult.

>>13628672

>>I had to rewatch the episode but you are correct. Yellow was with the First Invasion Fleet and therefore would have been piloting a Combat.

If he were First Invasion Fleet, wouldn't he be as old as Jim then? Because he doesn't look that old compared to Stick, Ray, and Houquet.

>>Her name was Carla.

My bad. Thanks for correcting me.

But don't most characters wear their Riding Suits when using the transformable fighters? Likewise with Jim during the last two episodes?

>>13629045
>If he were First Invasion Fleet, wouldn't he be as old as Jim then? Because he doesn't look that old compared to Stick, Ray, and Houquet.

The first fleet arrived three years before the second, making Yellow only a couple years older than Stick. Jim had either been with the military longer than Yellow prior to the First Invasion, or he simply enlisted at an older age.

>My bad. Thanks for correcting me.

You're welcome, and thanks for pointing out my oversight with the Combat.

>But don't most characters wear their Riding Suits when using the transformable fighters?

Yes and if they're all equipped as Stick was, they've got an armor bike loaded with their fighter craft so that they won't be left defenseless and immobile in case their fighter is left inoperable.

>Likewise with Jim during the last two episodes?

Odds are Jim abandoned his armor bike when he ran away, though as a mechanic he probably wouldn't have used it as much to begin with.

Bunny Hat has apparently been busy with other projects.

Yellow and Jim, I can understand, but how exactly were Ray and Houquet able to pilot Legiosses without problems after the former got his Iota Legioss and the latter getting her Zeta Legioss?

Ray glanced through the operation manual for the Tread and did well enough to get it off the ground and even survive a crash landing. Considering that Jim with his military training had difficulty piloting the Tread, it seems that the operation system for piloting a Legioss must be less complicated.

As for Houquet, she claimed to be adequate with machinery. It's possible she may have had prior experience with air craft.

They initially did well enough to pilot in Armo-Fighter mode. They were probably instructed shortly after on how to efficiently operate both Armo-Diver and Armo-Soldier modes.

No problem. I really am enjoying this back and forth exchange. It's good to rewatch certain scenes and episodes and pick up on things I hadn't noticed before.

I know Love, Live, Alive is the sequel to the TV series, but how many years past since the TV series?

>>13638819
I can't find a source for it anywhere, but I recall reading somewhere that LLA is set two years after the show's conclusion.

>>13641926

I doubt it would have been two years since the TV series. I mean, in the beginning of Love, Live, Alive, the ruins Yellow visits at the beginning have moss covering not only the buildings, but wrecked human and Inbit equipment.

That equipment could have been there since the First Invasion Fleet. You'll notice similar remains in the city during the second episode of the show. Vines and moss can also grow quickly based on the climate conditions. Half the show takes place throughout South America and it's never indicated what region LLA takes place.

You'll also notice towards the end that Mint doesn't appear noticeably older than she does by the show's conclusion.

Does anyone have the soundtrack in FLAC? I thought I found some online Japanese retailers selling it in 24-bit lossless but I can't buy it even if I wanted to because I don't have a Japanese IP.

>>13651950
Then how do you explain Mint not appearing noticeably older? She's already 14 by the end of the show.

That's what I don't get about Love, Live, Alive being two years after the TV series. If that were the case, everyone, not just Jim, should have aged. Stick and Aisha are somewhat exempted due to the former being from Mars, which has a different timezone, and the latter being a newly-born humanized Inbit.

There is that.

>>13651950
Concerning Mika Doi, it may have been a combination of both Tatsunoko appreciating her voice acting talent along with her immediate availability. Hirotaka Suzuoki was just as greatly admired by Tatsunoko as he was by Sunrise and even worked with other studios in between SDF Macross, Mospeada, Orguss, Southern Cross, DYRL, and LLA.

Was there no creditless version of this opening in the BluRay release?

>>13657704

Stick Bernard

Place of birth: Mars, Mars Base
Hobbies: Computer games, jigsaw puzzles, other
Special skills: Operating mecha
Music: Wagner’s marches, war songs

I'm not familiar with most modern seiyu, so unless Doi reprises the role, I have no suggestions. How about you?

>How does Houquet know of the name "Legioss" anyways when she watched Stick use the one Jim gave him?

Adding onto my earlier suggestion about aircraft experience, it's possible she may have previously seen or even piloted a Legioss, perhaps wherever she acquired the Bartley. Again, she does state that she has experience with machinery when she begins piloting the Zeta Legioss.

Other than her history with a biker gang, much of her backstory is left unexplained. Perhaps they could delve deeper into that if they ever get the project off the ground.

Also, I rewatched episode 5 today. I noticed that through dialogue and how his last words in the episode was "Yellow," would the promoter guy who was with Yellow throughout most of the episode be a soldier too who is in hiding from the Inbit and civilian collaborators?

That is some good insight.

He already knows Yellow's true identity and intent. Who's to say he isn't a soldier as well? Yellow and the rest of the group would have neither known about nor been able to get to the HBT stockpile without an informant who could provide them necessary information.

Desert episode was the best.

Thanks for agreeing.

In regards to the Legioss, what jet fighter is it based on, since for Macross, Shoji Kawamori used the F-14 Tomcat as the inspiration for the VF-1 Valkyrie?

>>13672684
I'd say it most closely resembles the F-15 Eagle, though I'd like to find a source indicating which jet fighter in particular Aramaki had in mind.

>>13677281
why does it need to be based on anything real? That's Kawamori's bag, since he's an engineer.

I mean the Zeta waverider isn't based on any particular real-world craft, right?

>>13677281

Hideki Kakinuma claims F-14. Here's the excerpt:

" think it was in 1994; the US military celebrated the 50th anniversary of D-Day by flying F-18’s painted with invasion stripes! But I was ahead of them at putting invasion stripes on a swept wing fighter by 10 years! (probably...) I think there was maybe a kit that came with stripes?"

I read that same quote as well, and there's clearly no mention of the F-14. Kakinuma was referring to the use of Allied Invasion stripes on the original 1983 design a decade before the F-18's bore the stripes in 1994.

>>13677594
>since he's an engineer

So is Aramaki and several other notable designers. Unlike the Valkyrie or Legioss which both clearly resemble real-world jet fighters, the waverider is an originally-conceived fictional design which bears no resemblance to any real-world aircraft or spacecraft.

Re-reading the Gears Online page on the Eta Legioss (http://www.gearsonline.net/series/mospeada/mecha/human-mecha/legioss/eta.html), and I apologize for misreading it. It is based on the F-18.

Also, I re-watched episode 7 today. Any reason why Jim didn't keep that gun he got from the villagers?

Also, I get that its color scheme was to match Houquet's, but can men use Bartleys? Likewiese with women with MOSPEADAs and Blowsperiors?

In regards to transforming motorcycles, how to use the weapons when in Ride Mode? Likewise with the Blowsperior's GR-103 shoulder-mounted missile launchers and MOSPEADA-F's GR-97 dual 45mm x 260mm missile tubes in Armor Mode.

Also, I re-watched Episode 8: Jonathan's Elegy. Two things:

1. Given that in Stick's flashback about Jonathan Wolf's accomplishment, one of which mentions fighting pirates in Saturn, would that mean, prior to the Inbit conquering Earth, humanity was already establishing colonies in other planets aside from Mars?

2. Anyone agree the ending for the episode was a depressing one?

The armor is operated through sensory feedback. When Stick uses the VR-052F's forearm missiles, he focuses on the target to activate the scope, aligns his arm with his sight to aim, and fires.

Unfortunately I cannot read Japanese so I'm not entirely certain what the context is. If I had to guess based on the artwork though, it appears to give a glimpse into military life on Mars Base. The desert environment does seem to indicate the Martian landscape.

There's actually more lewd images there than sad panda.

Gone through nine episodes, and I have these questions:

1. Episode 10 begins with three Eagers and two Grabs dropping the egg that has Aisha in it. Where exactly were they to take Aisha, and why?

2. In Episode 12, an Inbit's life force is basically a green egg of sorts loaded into a Grab. Does the color depend on the form (Eager, Grab, Gamo), or do all forms use the same color?

3. Two things from Episode 14:

a. Prior to turning that Grab into a Gamo, Refless asked if it wanted to do, with the Grab saying yes. Given that the names "Grab", "Eager", and "Gamo" were used, how do the main characters know those names, since they use them?

b. After leaving Mint to enjoy her newly wedded life with Machuda, Stick and chums see the Grab-turned-Gamo leave the Inbit fort. Given that a Gamo was also chasing them back in Episode 13, why didn't they recognize it?

4. Would Noriko Ohara as Refless' usage of "nanji", an archaic version of "you" in Japanese whenn addressing the two Gamos she turned into Battlar and Solzie be a reference to the term "Kikou Souseiki (Armored Genesis Book)"?

5. While their journey was charted so far back in Episode 14, where would Stick and chums have been in Episode 17, given that they were in the Carribean in the previous episode, and going to what appeared to be Texas in the next episode?

I'll answer these gradually.

>1. Episode 10 begins with three Eagers and two Grabs dropping the egg that has Aisha in it. Where exactly were they to take Aisha, and why?

It doesn't seem as though they were going anywhere in particular other than to plant the egg somewhere where the humans could find it. It does seem like they were looking for it later on, but once they figured out what became of it, they began observing Aisha from a distance.

>2. In Episode 12, an Inbit's life force is basically a green egg of sorts loaded into a Grab. Does the color depend on the form (Eager, Grab, Gamo), or do all forms use the same color?

As you can see in >>13626092, all Inbit start off as the same biological bug-like creatures before they are fused with their bio-mechanical bodies. If you'll recall the transformation in Episode 14, the egg stays the same green color all throughout the process. The only instance of an egg appearing a different color throughout the show is the pink one that was carrying Aisha, though that may have been because of her humanoid form.

Protect Inbit probably passed that information onto humans during some instances of communication.

>b. After leaving Mint to enjoy her newly wedded life with Machuda, Stick and chums see the Grab-turned-Gamo leave the Inbit fort. Given that a Gamo was also chasing them back in Episode 13, why didn't they recognize it?

They probably didn't get a good look at it while they were hiding in the cave. The only one who got a clear view of it was Mint and of course she wasn't with them when they saw the second Garmo.

A quick search indicates it's similar to "thou." I'm not really sure of the context here. I imagine all the Inbit who learned human speech would use contemporary words consistent with the time of their occupation, that being the mid to late 21st century.

>5. While their journey was charted so far back in Episode 14, where would Stick and chums have been in Episode 17, given that they were in the Carribean in the previous episode, and going to what appeared to be Texas in the next episode?

Finished re-watching episodes 19-20. Two questions:

1. In Episode 19, the city Stick and chums find underneath the mountain trail they were traveling on a city. How exactly does an entire city get buried under a mountain range?

2. In Episode 20, we are treated to Mint's backstory, where she originally had parents, yet, when we first she her in Episode 2, she was into looking for a guy to marry. Would the plot hole with her backstory be proof the show got rushed due to low ratings?

>>13714809
>1. In Episode 19, the city Stick and chums find underneath the mountain trail they were traveling on a city. How exactly does an entire city get buried under a mountain range?

Had it been a glacier, it would have taken more than just a couple decades for an entire city to be buried under the ice. It's more likely that it was deliberately built underneath the mountain as part of the heat generator's experimentation.

>2. In Episode 20, we are treated to Mint's backstory, where she originally had parents, yet, when we first she her in Episode 2, she was into looking for a guy to marry. Would the plot hole with her backstory be proof the show got rushed due to low ratings?

What plot hole? You'll recall in Episode 2 when Mint was asked about her parents, her demeanor suddenly became somber. When you take that into context, it makes sense why she would throw herself at every guy she meets; she doesn't want to live life alone.

If anything, the UNDERSTANDING conclusion is an indication of anxiety over ratings at the time.

As an orphan, she had no where to go and no one to turn to, hence why she became quick to find a guy she could mooch off of. It's also why she was so upset when everyone in the group almost went their separate ways.

Re-finished Episode 21. Two things:

1. Do you agree with MAHQ's Chris that the Inbit were able to make Aisha, Battlar, and Solzie after experimenting on Rainy Boy?

2. How exactly were the soldiers Stick and company ran into because of Rainy Boy's soldier hunts able to hide in a village? IIRC, wouldn't soldiers like them be lynched just to appease the Inbit?

>>13719708
>1. Do you agree with MAHQ's Chris that the Inbit were able to make Aisha, Battlar, and Solzie after experimenting on Rainy Boy?

They probably learned quite a bit about human anatomy experimenting on him and possibly countless others during their time on Earth.

>2. How exactly were the soldiers Stick and company ran into because of Rainy Boy's soldier hunts able to hide in a village? IIRC, wouldn't soldiers like them be lynched just to appease the Inbit?

The villagers probably condoned Rainy Boy killing every soldier who arrived thinking that would satisfy the Inbit.

Finished the last four episodes yesterday. I got these questions:

1. Two things from Episode 22:

a. Much like that promoter guy in Episode 5, would Simone from episode 22 be a soldier too in hiding, given that he knows that Yellow is really a cross-dressing singer?

b. Were Stick, Jim, Aisha, and Houquet really hiding in New Jersey when they saw Battlar go nuts across New York City?

2. In Episode 23, Shinobu Takeuchi's camera had a Mars Base insignia in it. Why is that, since she's from Moon Base?

3. For the ones wielding the synchrotron cannons in Episode 24, if they're not Condors, what are they?

4. From Episode 25:

a. Given that he said in a transmission addressed to First and Second Liberation Front remnants back in Episode 18 that he is in charge of the Third Liberation Front, why wasn't Mienne Darjeeling himself commanding the fleet heading to Earth, or was his appearance axed due to rushing the show's conclusion?

b. When finally making it to Refless' chamber, Jim was in a Ride Suit in the previous episode, yet took it off in this one. Why is that?

c. Like with why Mienne Darjeeling didn't show up, would there have been a reason there are still humanized Inbit on Earth, as Aisha noted while watching Stick return to Mars, yet it was not mentioned since the ending got rushed?

>>13723038

>>1-2. Thanks

>>13723038
I'll be answering these piecemeal again.

>a. Much like that promoter guy in Episode 5, would Simone from episode 22 be a soldier too in hiding, given that he knows that Yellow is really a cross-dressing singer?

I doubt it. He just seems to know that Yellow is really a crossdresser. As for knowing Yellow's identity as a soldier, it's not clear whether or not he's already aware of this before meeting Yellow in person.

>b. Were Stick, Jim, Aisha, and Houquet really hiding in New Jersey when they saw Battlar go nuts across New York City?

If they were watching the entire city, including the boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn, being attacked, they would have to have been in either Jersey City or Hoboken, or rather in whatever was left given that this Inbit attack didn't bother with the surrounding areas.

>2. In Episode 23, Shinobu Takeuchi's camera had a Mars Base insignia in it. Why is that, since she's from Moon Base?

The camera, like a lot of the military equipment sent to Moon Base, was manufactured in Mars Base.

>>13726718

The latter reason sounds like the most probable. It's too bad they never clarified that. I myself can imagine a scenario where he was relieved of duty because he was unwilling to use the Anubis-1 missiles.

>b. When finally making it to Refless' chamber, Jim was in a Ride Suit in the previous episode, yet took it off in this one. Why is that?

I can imagine this being the result of inconsistent animation. The animators likely had to rush through some scenes due to the sooner-than-expected deadlines.

>c. Like with why Mienne Darjeeling didn't show up, would there have been a reason there are still humanized Inbit on Earth, as Aisha noted while watching Stick return to Mars, yet it was not mentioned since the ending got rushed?

As we saw with Solzie and Battlar, humanized Inbit developed free will. They likely chose to stay on Earth rather than leave with Refless and all the less-evolved, hive-mind Inbit.

>>13727223

That or Yellow's celebrity may very well have spread beyond South America by underground hearsay.

They could have arrived with an advance force like the one Shinobu was with.

>>13729628

According to Chris at MAHQ, they were indeed in New Jersey. It's implied during the episode they are outside the city but still within viewing distance of Manhattan. Considering the Hudson River seems like it would leave a safe enough distance between them and the Inbit assault, NJ was most likely their safe zone.

You are very welcome. All these questions have been helpful in looking into a lot of the minor details I had previously overlooked.

>>13730696

Another thing about Love, Live, Alive: Given that Stick was in his Mars Base uniform when he, Aisha, Ray, Houquet, Mint, and Jim showed up after the concert, how was he able to return to Earth? Ordered to assist with reconstruction or left the UN military (calling them that based on pic in >>13707486), and kept the uniform for some reason?

>>13730983
>Ordered to assist with reconstruction

I can believe that. His experience on Earth made him valuable in the aid and restoration of human society. Given his commitment as a soldier, it's not likely he would have left the military so soon.

I can also imagine him getting in contact with everyone else, Aisha in particular, as soon as he was on leave, hence why he would still be in uniform.
