This can't be possible because Minmay, and the rest of the people on that ship are lost in space. The same thing happened with Basara, along with Sheryl and Ranka.

She acts like a ditz during gag scenes, but she's smart and observant. In episode 8, immediately notices that guy is the kids' papa when neither Hayate or Mirage did. Last episode, she noticed that Messer loved to fly with his team when his team mates didn't know this shit. Her speech about apples was also insightful and left Bogue speechless.
>>
>the flight log

Messer turned out to be a lot better than expected after those last two episodes. Not having anyone on the Walkure side to match Keith is going to suck, unless Hayate busts out the moves immediately.

How many times does the show need to wave and remind viewers that Hayate and Mirage will get good together in addition to Freyja's song buffing Hayate's piloting skills?

With Messer dying, the flagpole is also moved from non-killer/pacifist Hayate to stonecold/no hesitation Hayate.

Yeah, that's exactly what is expected to happen. The attack is happening immediately though. I'm not doubting Hayate (and Mirage) will ride the wind and outskill most of the Aerial Knights but it's going to be a copout if it happens effortlessly.

>non-killer/pacifist Hayate to stonecold/no hesitation Hayate

I don't know about that. Maybe losing Messer will help move that along but again, happening immediately seems bizarre. There will be reflection on it.

All the knights save for Keith are open game.

Keith will perish later on and since he's so protected he might go out on his own terms instead of getting shot in the heart by Hayate.

If they do add new pilots they will just take over Mirage's spot while Hayate and Mirage focus on Keith and Bogue.

You're probably just seeing slight style variations due to different episode directors.
>>
>>142951923
Because she is the final piece of the puzzle. She is literally the unofficial 4th main character, and Kawamori definitely favors her. The question is though, how does Mikumo bring the story together and why is she the one that comes after the holy trinity?

I don't think he was debunking it at all. All he said not all of Max and Milia's children were pilots and he mentioned Miranda was one but Mirage's father wasn't.

Check the focus of the interviews here. Mirage gets the focus on the romance part of the interview, Freyja gets the focus on the songstress part with added mention of her singing like she can die any time.

>>
>>142956374
There's no romance part or songtress part. What the fuck are you talking about?
>>
>>142956374
It doesn't say anything like that at all. From the gist, it's stating that the three elements of Macross: love triangle, transformable mecha and songs are integrated into one story. Three elements for three divas (Freyja, Mirage and Mikumo).

Mikumo is songs, Mirage has to do with mecha part, and Freyja is about the spare I suppose (while there's also song, it's more implicit her drama about her death/life which has always panned to a serious faced Hayate in the show). Mirage part with Hayate is simply about being a pilot, something Seto has foreshadowed. It began as a mentor-student relationship but now her admiration will change it.

>Next year Macross series will celebrate its 35th anniversary. From the first installment to its latest one (Macross Delta), the main themes of the work have been three: a love triangle (or "triangular relationship"), a transformed fighter (action scenes), and the songtress. Are these big three elements are integrated in Macross Delta? The director Shouji Kawamori, Minori Suzuki, other VA of the staff team address Macross Delta

The fucking love part has Freyja and Mirage on the image, are you fucking retarded? Also nice going you didn't see JUNNA there too talking about her role in the songtress part or Mirage's plane in the mecha one.

I think y'all niggas going overboard now. The fun part of that link wa that it's just a normal way of talking about the three pillars and how Delta relates. But then the fun comes when you look at the picture, each depicting a pillar, and we have "love" being depicted, with 2 screen shots that both feature Freyja and Mirage. The word love is even there in pink.

It's clearly an intended joke, or a funny oversight. Nothing else is really noteworthy in the link

>>142957380
I don't really see the problem with it. I mean, doesn't it literally reset everything towards the end anyway, so the people pulled to the planet (ie, all the past macross characters) never in fact actually were? Yes its still a cheesy crossover game
>>
>>142952771
Yeah, no. Humanity managed to at least reach protoculture levels of technology, surpassing it sometimes - any valk with inertia canceller is a example. Worth mentioning is also a fact that original Macross was example of protoculture level of tech and now even Quarter has better specs than it. So, unless protoculture can dish numbers or do some mind control hack, there will be no blitzkrieg.
>>
>>142957381
The love part is kinda absent from the quotes below entirely
>>
>>142957481
Yes, because it's simply the cast and staff talking about Macross delta and macross elements. Mirage and Freyja are part of a triangle, Mirage is a pilot and Freyja is a singer (with Mikumo). That's all it is implied.
>>
Hayate's VA implied in the latest interview his character isn't interested in romance and has no time for it. This is a bait triangle.
>>
>>142952056
I think that's a good guess. Hellmann's is definitely dying at some point, and it would fit with the set up they're working on with Bogue to have Hayate be the one to kill him.
>>
>>142957624
>tfw wind and mercat end
>>
>>142957624
Messer's VA also has implied the same thing by saying that characters has no time for romance - there are more important things. I'm telling you, Kawamori is going to destroy any romance in Delta, because he has hate over Macross F love bandwagon.
>>
>>142957624
Basara was the epitome of not giving a shit about romance and he still had multiple love interests.
>>
>>142957627
Herman isn't dying for a long time since he is staff favorite character and a POV character of Windermereans. The only one that is dying - Quasim, but no one cares about him and he has no promotional material.

The characters barely get a break to think about romance in Delta. It's not like they have time fucking around like they did in previous Macross. There're few 'breather' episodes.
>>
>>142957459
Um no the Protoculture can manufacture Fold Quartz as per Macross Chronicle Worldguide sheet on the Bird Human. Humanity doesn't know how to.

They even figured out time travel. They had to seal the 8th Evil Series for that.
>>
>>142957724
Might not come soon, but he's definitely not living through the series. Though I guess they could subvert the death flags and go for the dramatic irony of the old man who wasn't sure he even had enough of his natural life span left to last through the war out living most of his young comrades.

Freyja Wion is 42 in people years.
>>
>>142957724

that we're getting to know more about his values and opinions means nothing. We could literally learn of it and see him killed off in the same episode
>>
>>142957459
>Humanity managed to at least reach protoculture levels of technology, surpassing it sometimes
Now this is bull. Humanity only learned of Overtechnology for around 60 years and you consider them having surpassed the Protoculture? They've only recently discovered fold waves which the Protoculture are familiar with and still can't produce anything like the Birdhuman in Macross Zero. And who's to say the Supervision Army gunboat that crashed on Earth wasn't an old model ship? As for inertia dampeners the Zentradi already have them especially in their power armors like the Queadlun-Rau. Sure humanity has much advanced in technology but it they're just at the tip of the iceberg compared to the Protoculture.

Meltradi exclusive and primitive when compared to even Messiah.
It ia true that humanity still have long way to encounter all interesting bits of protoculture - but look at it this way. In fifty years we reverse engineered and improved every bit and peace of technology found. ICS, new warp tech, fold network, freakin' valkiries, even tactical songs - humanity is dangerous enough to give any protoculture remnant hard times. Using analogy other anons provided - if zentradi are space orcs, humanity are tau.
>>
>>142958047

The ending will have Hayate and Freyja chilling on the rooftop as the old times, discussing about what happened and learned from it before Hayate splashes down to chase the mercat and Freyja uttering Gori Gori.

>Meltradi exclusive and primitive when compared to even Messiah
Yet the Zentradi had the technology for eons. The only reason they weren't able to develop anything better was that they didn't have any ingenuity. The Protoculture just gave them automated factories to produce their weapons and cloning chambers to replenish their numbers. They likely didn't bother providing the Zentradi better technology that was developed. I wouldn't say humanity improved on every bit of Overtechnology rather they discovered it as they learned more from their relics and ruins. "New" fold warp tech and fold network with fold quartz isn't anything new for the Protoculture as they've used them before when they attempted to copy the Vajra. Same with weaponizing song since they have relics that amplify fold wave energy produced from singing.

>>
>>142959608
Well that's just fucking opinion. Walkure's songs are pretty damn good and honestly some are Frontier level.

>>142959647
They're great as individual singers but they don't harmonize that well when they sing in duet. Walkure's singers harmonize very well with each other especially Minori Suzuki and JUNNA which is the point of an idol singer group.

Fuck off Sherylfag. I like Sheryl more than Ranka but I'm not about to go full retard and shitpost on how much worship her ass.
>>
I'm a Sherylfag, but May'ns singing really doesn't impress me much. When Kanno made songs that play to her strengths, they're really good, but when she tries anything different I'm just utterly indifferent or put off by them. Nakajima's singing was wasted a lot on making cutesy songs for Ranka as well

And yet it was humanity that managed to defeat Vajra. I mean, Galaxy, not Frontier forces. Were they left to their devices, Galaxy network would stay in control and pretty much achieve what windermere wants, only on galaxy wide scale. For every living thing. And Frontier found out how to counter Vajra network which together with quartz enhanced weaponry actually allowed for somewhat balanced warfare.
I think it might work like this - protoculture was old, mature society and lost some of it's momentum. Humanity by comparison is new at this game but comes with lots of bright ideas.
Also, pretty much everything that resembled protoculture was wiped out. Only some, strategically placed, ruins survived together with remnants like Maian people. Where are cities, factories, anything? If I remember right, only one wreckage of protoculture ship was ever found in whole post space war history.
I don't doubt that protoculture was 'better' than humanity at Delta timepoint. I just wanted to point out that humanity, on it's own, managed to proceed farther in some regards than it's progenitors.

May'n went fully R'n'B for her solo carrier. And after a decade her most popular songs are those of Frontier fame and OP/ED's of other animated series mostly. She is not bad, she just chosen to be a niche artist. Compare Cosmic Nyaan with first Frontier concerts, both her and Nakajima improved a lot.

Fuck you, no it's not. Nobody ever called May'n a "bad voice" before Delta. Nakajima maybe, but never May'n
>>
>>142963133
Haha oh wow. Hitting close to home, am I? Honestly, when the song isn't playing to May'ns strengths, its sounds terrible. Like really fucking terrible. Remember her aimo? Absolute cringe. Nakajima always had a much better voice, but she wasn't as skilled as a singer.

Voice and singing ability are two sepperate things.

Aimo was the only bad one and only because she tried to Mariah Carey it

Not even Chaos and NUNS could beat them.
>>
>>142969341
>>142969889
>>142970487

Honestly if the Windermerans didn't mind control the existing Brinsgr NUN forces, even their protoculture ship would probably get shit on, considering that the Protoculture's military tech probably wasn't much more advanced than that of the Zentradi or Supervision Army, on which Overtech is based, considering those forces basically were the Protoculture army.

If the NUN actually gave enough of shit about the sector to send out a full fleet with PMC support, Windermere wouldn't last 5 seconds, no matter what Protoculture tech they dug up.
>>
>>142970487
They'll start getting their shit kicked in during the second half when the protoculture stuff starts backfiring and exploding in their face.

>>
>>142970631
>wasn't much more advanced Zentradi or Supervision Army

you don't have much to base this on. Zentradi couldn't keep technology up or repair or understand anything. Their armed forces were stagnant for half a million years. that's a long time. They knew of reaction weaponry, but had lost it so long ago they had become a myth
>>
>>142970734
No
>>
>>142970632
People have been saying that their comeuppance is long overdue but the show keeps protecting them even more so than the protagonist faction.

At this rate only a deus ex machina asspull or internal conflict would even dent their forces since the show refuses to make them look weak or vulnerable.
>>
>>142970746
Yeah the Zentradi lost a lot of tech due them not knowing how to repair or maintain anything, but everything they have was still originally built and/or designed by the Protoculture, same thing goes for the Supervision Army. Rather than think of this like Windermere finding some weird alien supertech, think of it more like they found a working battleship while everyone else only knows how to make destroyers and cruisers. It's tough certainly, but not invincible and probably not impervious to weapons possessed by Chaos or the NUN. After all, the power to destroy and entire fleets worth of ships is nothing new, a Boddole Zer class space fortress had those kinds of capabilities all the way back in Space War 1.
>>
>>142971172
NUNS cocksuckers leave
>>
>>142970954
I imagine that is because the series is about to hit the midpoint climax which will leave the protagonists at their lowest point and then it will all be uphill from there. I'm pretty sure that using a battleship that they only 60% understand is going to lead Windermere accidentally nuking a planet or something.

They aren't untouchable. Hayate resonating with fold quartz is proof enough of that, even if conventional firepower in the amount that can be amassed by private entity like SMS or Chaos is not enough.

And then get themselves fucked up, because whole thing starts doing something retarded yet deadly.
>>142974900
It probably is a threat cause it is a key to network formed by all those ruins. I really expect it to be a really fancy microphone for Heinz.
What kind of super advanced technology can it have? Shields better than birdman? Those were fucked by overtech enhanced nukes. Another super beam weaponry? Considering how fast NUNS and everybody are developing their own stuff, meh. Galaxy had beam dimensional eater guns, things that literally twist reality.
Unless it allows time travel, still not impressed.

If they'll manage to activate ruin network, they might actually be a serious threat - ability to control forces that come under said net umbrella IS dangerous as hell.

Chuck is likely to die, and Cassim, king and Hellman, plus the ISIS guys. Maybe Roid if he goes final villain.

Doubtful. He is voiced by KENN and is pushed hard in the merchandising.

It's not plot armor, it's merchandise/marketing/concert armor.
For example chinese twins, Maki and Rei are irrelevant and unimportant for the plot.

>>142977004
It's more likely to Hayate or Mirage to die or get Missing in Action than Bogue. Freyja has Walkure plot armor.

>>142977033

Probably 5 or so named characters, mostly bad guys. King and Belgar are already dead, Hermann and Kassim are probably gone, and it doesn't look good for Keith either. Roid is still a wild card, and maybe one more Delta Squad member. Mikumo and Kaname got rid of most of their death flags the past few episodes so it would probably be a pilot.

Expect one of the triangle members either dies or goes missing and gets an ambiguous fate. Or the three of them.

Original Macross: Minmay, Misa and Hikaru go missing with the Megaroad years after the series/movies ended.
Macross 7: Basara is missing.
Macross Plus: Guld dies.
Macross Frontier: Sheryl ends up in a coma and Alto goes missing in the movie version (Sheryl ends up waking up but Altor's return is more ambiguous).
Macross Zero: Sara and Shinn die/go missing. Mao moves on and marries someone else (she becomes Sheryl Nome's grandmother).

While Freyja has the whole "i'll die when I turn 30 years old thing", she's also selling concerts and shit, so she has more plot armor than Hayate and Literally Who??
>>
>>142977391

They are fairly impressive, but not necessarily for the reasons he's stating. I don't expect that the Windmereian Protoculture ship is all that much more powerful in terms of raw combat ability than a Battle class ship. Which from what we've seen of the region still makes it a big fish in a small pond, but Windmere was never going to win on battle prowess, eventually they'd just get zerged. Their ability to covert enemy forces is what makes them impressive, and with their protoculture ship appearing to act as a mobile terminal into the ruin network, or maybe even a mobile ruin that could be taken and used outside of the network, it's pretty scary.
>>
>>142977166
Maybe we'll get a "10 years later" epilogue of Hayate, Mirage and Walkure all visiting Freyja's grave.
>>
>>142976833
Fuckboi quad is safe except Quasim and Herman,
since Walkure also sells concerts - they are safe too. It leaves Delta platoon to die again: Arad and Chuck.
>>
>>142977750
Doubtful because Minorin and Walkure get to be on concerts. Besides Kawamori avoids timeskips because of his own continuity with Macross. Delta is a part of a big franchise.

Mirage dying is more likely than Freyja, I think. She moves no merchandise and isn't a singer or has Hayate's popularity.
>>
>>142977391
>>142977391
In the case of though the Windmerans are actually outgunned, but are only a threat because they aren't taken seriously. In the previous cases it was humanity being protected by plot armor, in this case though it's the other way around.
>>
>>142977763
No, Mirage and Hayate can also die. Triangle members aren't really exempt from dying or becoming MIA.
>>
>>142977838
What? Rewatch last episode, Chaos called Heinz a galaxy-level threat. His voice could shake the whole galaxy at this rate. Not just the cluster.
>>

This is not Okada's show anon.

In the end it all comes to muh understanding because humans are too weak for their enemies.
>>
>they are literally pulling that UNDERSTANDING card after Windermere wipes out millions of Spacy and NUNS
>>
>>142977850
I can see Mirage going to her daddy to learn how to save lives and Hayate becoming a solder.
>>
>>142977750
Macross will never do timeskips past a few months to a year at most
>>
>>142977887
>Chaos called Heinz a galaxy-level threat.
Yes but he hasn't done that yet

He's going to NOW of course, but not yet

>>142977763
>Fuckboi quad is safe except Quasim and Herman,
I guarantee at least one of the twins will die. Maybe Keith in the last episode
>>
>>142977907
They have the strongest songtress, but in this show, the enemy BTFO them in that too: Freyja and Heinz. Mikumo isn't even human either.

Shit, we're falling behind. Kaname is our only hope.
>>
So why do the Aerial Knights have plot armor?

In Gundam or any other mecha show they would have been wiped out already but in Macross they are kept very strong

Even Gilgamesh gets beat in the most hilarious way possible despite being OP
>>
>>142977763
The Fuckboi squad are going to die in the final episodes, it would be retarded to keep them alive after all the shit they've pulled
>>
>>142977953
I doubt that Heinz will become a threat on his own consent. ISIS will use him for sure.

Keith is one of the main POV of the story, over Mirage. There are three manga: main story with Hayate's POV, Freyja's POV and Keith's POV. He's safe as fuck.

>>142977978

>>142977747
Again not really, they're only really fighting a very small fleet, and one that's not even a fraction of the size of some others. Not to forget, their ability over Var is again only impressive because they are in that small pond, remember any singer with a powerful enough fold resonance can fuck up their control over Var, see>>142975841. If they really want to they can really fuck up Windmerans, not even through a zerg rush. So again they're not impressive.
>>
>>142977978
>So why do the Aerial Knights have plot armor?
Hot boys sells merchandise, but if you ask me I find Messer and Arad hotter than fuckbois. I have no idea who buys twins merchandise.
>>
>>142978048
He killed Messer in a gallant duel and paid respects. Vajra killed Michel, Alto's best friend, and they were fine in the end.
>>
>>142978017
The Aerial Knights are designated jobbers save for Keith who has the highest powerlevel in the show

This is like Zeek pilots surviving the RX-78 every episode
>>
>>142977887
There are two other songstresses with NUNS who can do the same thing though, aren't there?
>>
>>142978106
>The Aerial Knights are designated jobbers
That's Mirage. Even Bogue BTFOs her with ease.
>>
>>142978092
Alto murdered tons of Vajra before and after they killed Michel

Even humans murdered countless Zentradi before Roy kicked the bucket
>>
>>142978106
Not really. The Knight's planes aren't completely incapable of damaging the MC for the first 13 episodes for one.
>>
>>142978113

Uh no. The Delta team in this case are the Zeeks surviving the RX in every episode. In case you forgot, the Aerial Knights are significantly better than them with Messer being the only one who could put up a fight.

These guys aren't elite pilots from the official military. You know who are though? The Knights
>>
>>142978245
>Humans wiped out their fleets and actually won

No, they didn't. Are you stupid and miss the point of the ending? Humans never won shit. They persuaded some of them to protect them because muh culture but the vast majority of them are in space and still wagging war. Humans are actually weakshits and pampered by stronger races because of their music.

Keith will definitely die though. the "I'll die when the time come" thingy that he said to roid is a death flag.

Sheryl is technically with NUNS not SMS ditto Ranka (remember the whole "songstress of hope" sthick), Basara goes wherever he feels he wants to get people to listen to his song. Though yeah Basara could fuck over Heinz too. The only reason Heinz hasn't been BTFO'd songwise is because none of them are in that specific cluster.

No, what the fuck are you talking about? Sheryl is with SMS and hired them. In the movies, NUNS nearly nuked Alto and Vajra which she was desperately trying to avoid. Ranka isn't NUNS at all anymore, she quit them in TV show and is with SMS in the end too. Same shit happens in the Movies.

Yes they did but not this early in the show or in 00's case not 11 episodes into S2. I don't know why you're questioning this when we're still so early in the conflict

>>142978064
I meant the Globular Cluster NUNS forces would be enough to beat them purely by zerging them without Var (keeping in mind that the average Windmerian pilot can be expected to be better than the average NUNS pilot.)

But I generally disagree with you on Var not being impressive just because there are singers who can counter it. We know that people with that ability are rare. Now by impressive I'm not saying I think they could win a war against they rest of the known galaxy, they're way too small to threaten that even if they found a way to make their brainwashing fully portable.

I'm still impressed with their ship though if it gives them the utility of having a full set of ruins wherever their fleet does battle, given that we've seen them convert entire planetary populations in short order that way.

Are you an idiot or is this bait?
>>
>>142978495
Not to mention that VAR is widespread across the galaxy (even without Windermerians involved) so who the fuck knows how many people are infected and Heinz' singing could trigger them.
>>
>>142978375
>Basara
>not adopting Heinz and teach him how to play a guitar

Heinz is a good kid who doesn't want deaths but his horrible family is making him sing to death to satisfy their revenge boner. Mikumo and Freyja are going to reach him.
>>
>>142978447
In the tv series, Sheryl joined NUNS as a replacement for Ranka, who was the "songstress of hope" before her, and before that she had also taken on a NUNS mission as well to quell the Zentradi. Ranka herself joined NUNS as their original "Songstress of Hope" and if Kawamori is to be believed went back to being one after the end of the series. Movie Ranka and Sheryl are affiliated with SMS, but all that really means is that they have to be hired, and NUNS hires SMS for various shit all the time, so it's not much of a difference anyway.
>>
>>142978653
>Basara
>forming a lasting human relationship

He'd show up, do some carefree shit around him, say something inspiring about music, and go off to sing to see cats or something.
>>
>>142978653

You're right, Heinz would just get adopted by Basara and leave Windmere to it's inevitable fate.
>>
>Runeniggers beating NUNS with a single shot

Kawamori is a cuck

Gas the Windermemes, space war now
>>
>>142978671
Sheryl and Ranka joined NUNS which were BAD GUYS in Frontier (because of Kathy's shitty ex) and SMS was definitely against them and were heroic. Sheryl doesn't give a shit about NUNS and is with SMS. Doubt Movie Sheryl or Ranka will work for them after they nearly kill Alto and Vajra Queen in the movies because they were warmongers fuckers.
>>
>>142978275
Not for long
>>
>>142959205
To make sure when when the windy assholes get off lightly it will be especially annoying ofc.
>>
>>142978817
I can see them working to suppress VAR outbreaks, but singing to help kill people? Yeah, no. I don't see any of them getting in the middle of another war.
>>
>>142978774
>>142978761
I think it's pretty obvious that Heinz is going to sing with Walkure to heal everyone of var galaxy wide. Var is spreading around the whole galaxy without windies' intervention and Heinz' voice is said to be capable of shaking the galaxy. I'm sure that'll shake the Aerial Knights who will have to choose to follow their new king or die for the old king's revenge.
>>
>>142978811
NUNS are evil though starting with Frontier.
>>
>>142978911
>Heinz singing pop songs and wearing a skirt

From 1 to 10, how much will Roid nosebleed?
>>
>>142978911
Var only happens if he sings, if he's dead no one gets Var
>>
>>142978495
>But I generally disagree with you on Var not being impressive just because there are singers who can counter it.
Exactly there are singers who can counter it, who are just as/if not more powerful than Heinz. So essentially they have a way to neutralize the Windmereans most impressive weapon, Basara, Sheryl and Ranka are very powerful in this area. To the point where they don't even need to sing to release fold waves.

Also we remember what we were told about fold waves, listening to them sing not only quells Var, but also acts as vaccine to it as well.
>>
>>142978941
I've seen people defend Leon, one of the bad guys, in Frontier's threads. And of course there's a lot of people who wanted the Vajra to be exterminated.
>>
>>142978982
No, retard. Var is even previous to the Windermerian civil war. There are VAJRA infected by Var in another cluster in the prequel manga and a mysterious Char clone behind this shit.

The only time Heinz sang to caused Var was starting from episode 1. The wind sphere shit wasn't ready to be used before that. It had little to do with his singing, he can just control those infected. The Windermerian only helped to spread the NUN headquarters of their cluster zone, but Var is a galaxy wide threat. Like space rabbies.
>>
>>142978817
NUNS weren't the villains of Frontier, Grace's cohorts, and Leon were. In fact in both the movie and the tv series they joined SMS for the final battle, and then arrested Leon at the end.
>>
>>142978982
VAR is like AIDS or ebola. It's not actually started by Windermerians, they just used it effectively for their war. Read the manga that are out that is building the backstory. Even the show Arad and Kaname stated the var incidents weren't started by windermerians.

Girl on the Walkure logo is the songtress of the prequel.
>>
>>142978817
>Sheryl and Ranka joined NUNS which were BAD GUYS in Frontier (because of Kathy's shitty ex) and SMS was definitely against them and were heroic
NUNS aren't the BAD GUYS idiot. Just because they've done some shady shit it the past and have a few overly ambitious turds like Leon Mashima doesn't make them evil as a whole.
>>
>>142978982
Var was something that was installed in the races that Protoculture fucked around with.
>>
>>142979205
>Read the manga
is it translated?
>>
>>142979140
They also aimed their guns to fucking Alto and Vajra in the movies. They weren't portrayed in a good light. While Grace was a good guy.
>>
>>142979121
Also, Kawamori confirmed that they are spread via fold bacteria, that were already infecting people all around the galaxy during Frontier and have spread even more once the Vajra left. Windermere is just weaponizing it via the apples, the water and Heinz's song.
>>
>>142979244
They started aiming even before he got there. The other SMS fleets aimed at the Queen too, because as far as they knew it Grace's cohorts were controlling it and it would cause the Vajra to go insane.
>>
NUNS is the armed force NUNG is the government. NUNG is decentralized. The frontier fleet and Galaxy fleet were taking independent decisions. Neither were being directed by any central earth governement

You Do know that all Macross works are in-universe productions, and that's why there's inconsistencies and other oddities. DYRL was a movie made in 2036, and Zero was made in 2059.
>>
>>142982591
DYRL was a movie in-universe as stated at the beginning of 7, the series itself was not.
>>
>>142982591

Somebody really skimped on the special effects, then. They look like they came straight out of the early 2000s.
>>
>>142982591
The fuck anon? What is your point? Millia also have normal ear in SDF and 7.
>>
Clearly Zentradi ears come in different shapes and sizes, like how some are pink and some are green.
>>
>>142982658
Kawamori has stated that ALL Macross works are in-universe productions. That includes Macross 7.

>>142982673

It would be funny if Kawamori added purposeful mistakes to his macross series, like someone of a certain species showing up in the background who didn't get edited out and have that person be a character in a future work.
>>
>>142982780
She's supposed to have superhuman strength always (and not only when her runes flashes) just because she's windermerian. We saw her doing some extremely high jumps several times. But she seems to be a weak and untrained type of windermerian since she easily runs out of breath. I bet even Hayate would beat her in 1x1.
>>
>>142982997
Have we seen any Windermereans running fast, though? We've really only seen them super-jumping and sword-swinging. Maybe they have strength but no speed, or they only have very short bursts of energy.

Or maybe Freyja is just super out of shape for a Windermerean.
>>
>>142983132
She's a peasant with no military training and I assume she's not a /fit/izen, so yeah, she's probably in normal shape for a 14-year-old girl.

>>
>>142983374
Wasn't she working in an orchard?

Also isn't "peasant" a term used only for people working the fields? Can it be used for maids, or whatever profession involves only cooking, needlework or something like that?

Where'd you get 42 from?

Windamere average life expectancy is 30 years.
Modern human average is 70 (Macross human's potentially higher).

A naiive multiplication of her age (14) by (70 / 30) gives 32.
You'd need the humans living to 90 on average for it to be 42.

But that's a pretty terrible way of measuring it. The average human isn't going to be having children aged 45, but a Windamerian probably has one or two by 15.

Assuming they have a similar length childhood to humans (judging by Freya's appearance) they'd probably stop having children before 18 to ensure they can see their children grow up.

For humans, its rare for anyone over 40 to have a child, what with the increased chance of birth defects, decreased fertility and the energy demands of child rearing.

Assuming Windamerians enter puberty slightly earlier and the necessity of it being socially acceptable for them to have children earlier due to their shorter lifespans, I'd imagine Windamerians would typically have children between the ages of 12 to 18. Whereas for humans in a first world society it'd typically be 18 to around 36.

18 + ((36 - 18) / (18 - 12)) * (14 - 12) = 24 in human years

>they'd probably stop having children before 18 to ensure they can see their children grow up.

In Keith's manga, Heinz's mom has Heinz when she's old enough to get white mold on her face, and asks Keith to look after Heinz because she knows she won't see Heinz grow up.

Based on observation Windemereans seem to age and mature at the same rate as humans. Just because they're average life expectancy is 30 doesn't mean their aging process is faster. It's when they near or reach 30 their health begin to deteriorate.

Not really. The art is just plain ugly and the story is meh. Its only good as reference to Delta since its a prequel to it.

Because they were played by different artists. The only people who looked like they did in some works were:

Minmay (because of her videoclips and she played her own role in DYRL original film - Tv show was someone else).
All the singers would look as they feature in videoclips.
Alto (because of his kabuki role and he's also an actor).
Kaifun likely because he had a movie too.

Misa could have been a toothless landwhale and Hikaru a fat neckbeard that were portrayed by attractive actors.

It's pretty bad. The Keith manga is the only one worth reading.

>>142985874
I guess getting someone else to raise them instead works.
It just seems rather irresponsible to have children knowing that you and your spouse will be dead before your kids can fend for themselves. I can't imagine that's the usual thing though, Windamerians don't strike me as the sought of people who'd trust someone else with their most precious possessions.

>>142986164
Assuming they mature at exactly the same speed as humans, their short life span necessitates one of the following:

- significant age disparity between parents
- proxy / communal orphan rearing
- parents stop having children by 20 (implying it's socially acceptable for them to have children younger)

otherwise both parents will die before their children can fend for themselves.

Shouji Kawamori is confirmed as a guest for Anime Expo, I'm going. I may or may not get a chance to ask him a question. What do you guys want me to ask?

Does Kaname love Arad? Who is the best pilot, Keith or Hamburger-kun? Also ask him if he seriously believe that Fudo did nothing wrong and Mikono deserved to win the bowl.

Ask him if he and/or Big West intend to legally contend Harmony Gold on their weak and flimsy claims on Macross so that it can finally be licensed and distributed outside Japan.

That doesn't need to be asked as its quite obvious that she doesn't.

>Keith or Hamburger-kun?
Who aimed and shot his opponent at his heart in the middle of VF duel? It's obviously Keith.
>>
>>142987614

Anon here again. I'll do my best and record myself asking the question and his answer, if I get a chance to ask the question for proof. Obviously I can't ask them all, but I'll ask him about Harmony Gold and one other.

Ask him the obvious will we get a movie question.

Political officer kills Frontier's president to be a dictator and try to take over the galaxy with Fold Quartzl. Frontier NUNS pointed their guns on him one the truth comes out. They are evil according to you.

Oh Leon Mishima isn't exactly Frontier NUNS. He's a political officer sent by Earth. He had his own ambitions.

Macross Galaxy NUNS were made into subservient cyborgs by Galaxy leaders. Does that make them evil?

Or were you not aware the government decentralized making military forces subservient to local governments?

DYRL was a movie in-universe in 2030. You are confusing chronology with the Macross 2036 game which is set in the DYRL-Macross II continuity.

For all her smugness Reina surely was that gullible to believe whatever rumors the bridge bunnies pulled out of their ass.

I find it pretty stupid though that they only review anime that are licensed or have a simulcast airing. They posted articles previewing Macross Delta but can't do anything more.
>>
>>142994150
They're not some random blog on the internet, they have deals with distributors and stuff. I doubt they could get away with implying they illegally stream anime, unless they can bullshit it as the contributor living in Japan.
>>
>>142994223
>they have deals with distributors and stuff
And there lies the problem. There was no point for them to write articles about Macross Delta when they know they won't review it in the first place. They were hyping up a show that won't ever discuss once it aired.
