This character doesn't look like something a show for males would have.
Instead looks like a fujoushit thing.
Has Kawamori betrayed us?
Do you not remember how pretty Alto was?
Oh shit, it's Geperuniti.
>>13706044
Wasted dubs.
New to the franchise, I take it?
>>13706044
I knew I recognized his face
I can't be the only one who remembers AKB0048
>>13706044
>draw girl
>call it a boy
>>13706075
>>13706044
>implying Frontier didn't start the trend of having things for fujoshi too
It's called "having something for everyone".
Planes for folks like us.
Cute dudes for some fujoshi viewers.
And idols because it's Macross and because they're easy money.
I like the idea of the Code Geass rejects though. We've done space bugs, parasitic space vampries from the 5th dimension, space giants and space whalers. Prettyboy Space Knights seem like a worthy successor to oddbal enemies for Macross.
>>13706143
You forgot the Yandere Virtual Idol.
>not liking cute boys
What are you gay?
>>13706143
and the anti UN remnants
>>13706132
Wagana wa Geppernich!
All the more bois to fap to
>>13706178
Is there any chance that these Windermere/Kingdom of the Wind guys have some connection to the Anti-UN forces, aside from the SV-designated Valkyries? It's weird to think that the international coalition we saw in Zero could evolve into some sort of Euro high fantasy culture, but I'd like that.
>>13706223
well if any AntiUN survived Space War One. They would have been the first to get on a Megaroad or Macross and get the hell away from UN controlled space.
OP clearly doesn't know about omnipandering
Nor does he seem to remember both Frontier and Evol had these things
>>13706044
>mecha shows sell more with the fujoushi demographic these days
>Is just my impression or is Kawamori actually aiming for the female public?
Ya think?
>>13706261
Post fucbois
>>13706117
Dont remind me.
>>13706143
>I like the idea of the Code Geass rejects though
They look way more like Uta Pri characters though.
>>13706322
I don't know what that is.
>>13706157
Sexy HAL is a great lady.
>>13706178
Gotta describe them in a sillier way. "Russkies who want to talk to ancient ayy lmaos" sounds way better.
>>13706217
That would imply that doujins of the dudes would get made and/or scanned. There's not really a whole lotta material for any of the Frontier dudes, y'know.
>>13706143
>>13706322
Blitzendegen!
>>13706044
He did make Escaflowne.
>>13706178
And evil cyborgs, given the Galaxy Fleet.
Ranka x Sheryl will always be my OTP, Alto married the sky or the queen.
>>13706117
I'd rather not.
>>13706236
>omnipandering
It's basically this.
It's half the reason the first episode of Delta felt so fucking tacky.
>>13706394
>I don't know what that is.
Here you are.

They're even conveniently color-coded too.
>>13706117
I do.
>>13706223
Not connected but similar goals according to SK's Forbes interview. Basically a fleet colonized their home planet. Now they want to break away from the NUN.
>>13706835
Oh hey. I know these dudes from some doujins.
That's not a bad comparison either. I'd say they're some amalgamation of the two concepts, really.
>>13706911
Star Driver would also be another close match.
>>13706765
For fuck's sake stop being a whiny angry bitch for more than 5 seconds. Learn to read you dumb brat.
>>13706394
>>I don't know what that is.
Sasuga triptard
>>13706117
0048 was wonderfully crazy. I can only hope Delta will live up to it.
>>13706044
This scene gave me fujobait vibes. I bet blond guy and ace pilot will have one of those rivalries that pander to fujos.
>>13706044
You can't be this new. Pandering to females in mecha shows has been a thing since years ago.
>>13710225
Yeah just like Maverick and Mig 28kun from Tengan Toppu Gunnufuckhead
>>13706663
> not posting superior official art
>>13710252ALL THIS TIME THESE 1200 YEARS YOU KNOW I WILL STILL KEKOLD YOU
>>13706044
Anon do I need to remind you of Frontier's main character named Alto-hime?
>>13710645
and that before he was a SMS pilot. His main profession was dressing up as women for Kubuki theater.
>>13706044
That shot of him emerging from the downed ship looked like Full Frontal cockpit shot or Rau Le Creuset.
Better Fujo-tainted mecha then Yurifag tainted mecha
>>13706044
>Has Kawamori betrayed us?
I genuinely laugh every time I read this. Shoji you traitor!!!!
>>13710645
Alto's character design was still more masculine than Hayate and the Aerial Knights (Herman and possibly Keith excluded).
>>13706044
most japanese macross fans are female
you have no idea what you are talking about
>>13712065
Alto wouldn't look out of place in their crew.
>>13706044
>Has Kawamori betrayed us?
He betrayed us years ago. The time to strike back is now!
You can't forget the big ol' gaybutts and the "if it's pretty I'll fuck it"-portion of the anime-watching populace. I bet you've squeezed off a crafty one or two to Alto.
Yeah, it's pretty gay.
>>13706044
>gg
Are my heroes back?
>some people wanting macross to be a hard military sci-fi anime
I think the market for this is gone in Japan, there is no money to be made from doing this nor do I think they'll be able to find local sponsors to fund such series.
manga is a different matter entirely but even then you have to dig through to find some
>>13712330
Only for this preview, but you need to remind them that Delta won't have a simulcast, so they can come back for real.
>>13712335
Considering that Zero and Plus are the least popular entries in the franchise then you'd be right.
>>13712335
>hard military sci-fi anime
Like Flag?
>>13712345
>Flag
>2006
and even then it was a rarity, I heard it received high praise but not viewers
>>13706044
>Has Kawamori betrayed us?
Why do you think he's ever on your side?
>>13710225
>This scene gave me fujobait vibes
How?
>>13712345
That is literally a decade old. Was that even a high seller anyway?
>>13710225
What? Wash your eyes, that's not how fujobait works.
On a serious note: This blond guy most likely is going to be MC's rival since they have similar age and looking at the cast list his voice actor is listed first among wind guys.
>>13712335
Arise and Psycho-pass were both fairly "tradititonal" Sci-Fi and were pretty well received saleswise.
Not speaking to the quality of either, but there's obviously a market.
>>13712373
>Why do you think he's ever on your side?
He made sure Zessica lost
Call me when there are actual faggots in the show.
>>13706044
Frontier was such a hit among female fans in Japan that a lot of merchandise for women was produced, both Ranka and Sheryl are really popular and fans ship them with everyone, etc.
This was expected.
>>13712873
that's true, so taking that into account I guess this a way to say military sci fi anime is to have a hard/strong female lead with sharp features but still easy to look at.
>>13706044
Anything idol focused is always going to attract both men and women and marketers know this.
All of the Love Live fans I know are queer women for pete's sake.
>>13712941
Those two are actual homo, though.
>>13712875
What does that have to do with fujo pandering? Unless making worst girl win is this.
>>13712145
>>13712945
>>13714335
This is true, women love idolshit, and now with Delta being idolshit + magical girl, they'll love it even more. I love Sheryl, too, and I can't wait to see more of Purple-chan in Delta.
>>13714707
yes Mikumo is a good parallel of Sheryl
crossing my fingers so they don't kill her
>>13710225
Nah, it'll be a buddy relationship.
One of the main problems with contemporary popular culture art is that studios (and corporations in general) in both America and Japan have now thoroughly realized that women are much more active as consumers than men are, and therefore media is increasingly being produced to appeal to vapid immature girly tastes. Unfortunately, women, especially young ones, like absolute crap full of homo effeminate men, stupid melodrama, and basically nothing wholesome or valuable. The common flagrant anemic lolicon fanservice for pathetic young men is just as bad, admittedly, but fujoshi shit is pure cancer, actually destructive to healthy society. Seeing Macross, one of the purest and manliest otaku series, devolve into this... is pretty sad.
>>13715084
>Seeing Macross, one of the purest and manliest otaku series, devolve into this... is pretty sad.
Please go back and watch Robotech you disgusting pleb.
>>13715102
Wow, amazing rebuttal there to anything that I said. Not.
>>13715107
>Using an image from the Robotech comics
Wow, such an autistic comment from a retard who absolutely no real understanding of Macross. Again go back and watch Robotech for your "manly otaku" series.
>>13715084
Have you seen Max's character design? He's pretty boy as fuck. Stay delusional Robofag.
>>13715084
> spend time and effort being a whiny bitch
> when you could just post more Alto-hime
Your very existence is a sad one.
>>13715084
>basically nothing wholesome or valuable
>actually destructive to healthy society
>Macross, one of the purest and manliest otaku series
I'm actually crying, this is hilarious.
>>13715155
lol it was google image search you stupid autistic fuck. I like how when a show going to absolute fujoshihell gets called out on this board all of the self-hating closet-dwelling manginas come out of the woodwork and post shit like how they are "actually crying." Yeah, I bet so.
>>13715294
Honestly, I just assumed you were doing some transparent but very amusing trolling, as opposed to being a titanic sadcase.
>>13715316
I know you are but what am I, sperglord. "I assumed you were trolling" is the absolutely most pathetic inability to deal with disagreeing viewpoints. And LoGH is dogshit for spergs.
>>13715323
You're entitled to your opinion, obviously, but that opinion makes you look completely ridiculous. Consider that you lambasted modern entertainment for containing melodrama, when SDF Macross was itself a melodrama from start to finish.
>>13715345
I said "stupid melodrama," not "melodrama." Anyway this board at night is full of 20-year-olds who were raised exclusively by women, so whatever. Have fun with that.
>>13715323
>>13715294
How does it feel to know the industry doesn't give a shit about your opinion and that we'll keep getting more pretty boys in future mecha shows regardless of what whinny faggots like you might say? Go and keep crying in your basement while we actually enjoy things.
>>13715359
If it makes you feel better, that's okay.
>>13715294
>>13715084
>>13715323
I gotta admit you're putting some work into this, I wasn't expecting you to insult LoGH too. Tired manosphere/r9k lingo like "mangina" and implying we were all "raised by women" was also something I haven't seen in a little while. Still, you're being a little too obvious. Next time around you might want to try being a bit more subtle if you really want to bait.
>>13715294
>lol it was google image search
>being this autistic to not distinguish an obvious Robotech image from Macross
>being this much of a pretentious asswhipped Robofag
Cry more and stay salty.
>>13715398
>being this autistic to not distinguish an obvious Robotech image from Macross
no, an autist wouldn't make that sort of mistake, this guy's worse, he's a normie who probably can't tell the difference between a gundam and a transformer
>>13715417
What makes his image especially retarded is its taken from Robotech: From the Stars, a prequel story. Macross Zero completely trumps that and renders it useless.
>>13715417
>gundam and a transformer
>normie
Spotted the normalfag who probably can't tell the difference between a VF and Starscream
