Macross Freyja

Let us all be real here. Let us not sit and pretend like this is an actual real triangle, with the winner not already clear. This is just like Oreimo, where the winner was clear from start to end!

For people comparing the triangle to past generations - Misa can't be compared since she her story was added halfway through. As much as people shit on Ranka, nobody can deny that Ranka was a developed character. Ranka Lee had a personality, and substance, and development. She was also involved in the plot.

The triangle in Delta is an illusion, and Mirage fans are setting themselves up for failure and I don't even like Freyja that much.

Fair triangles are like Nisekoi, where both sides can present accurate and decent reasons. And for people pushing Mirage to win, you have to think realistically about Hayate's feelings. Hayate shows no romantic interest in her at all, even his friendship dynamic with Freyja is stronger.

>>144508159
Let's be honest though, people were shipping Mirage and pushing her as the winner simply because "older girl always wins!" As far as Delta goes, Mirage has given 0 reasons on why she should win the triangle, fuck she's not even in the triangle. This triangle is fake as fuck. It's always been Hayate and Freyja..... Oh and Mirage (with Hayate and Freyja not even aware of her existence in the equation)

We're on to episode 17 and the only thing she's done is cry because shes realized she likes Hayate but Hayate's now WOW FREYJA DOKK DOKI

Her sexual organ on her forehead disturbs me greatly. It's like she has her balls there.

Hayate, Mirage and Freyja got captured together by windies so people expected some love triangle development as well as Mirage doing at least something.
Also at the same time we got those 2 interviews about pale triangle and "no soap drama". Lots of people were afraid that girls won't fall in love with Hayate at all.

>>144508496
It's not about fitting narrative. SDF wasn't meant to be a triangle until they thought of it halfway through. The series after SDF can be compared because the triangle was thought of from the start.

I'm actually being very genuine and sympathetic towards Mirage fags. Love triangles are my favorite genre, i've watched so many love triangles i've lost count and its the genre that made me watch SDF and it's sequels.

As much as people shitted on Ranka, and claim Sheryl was the winner from the start, its not true. Ranka actually had a fighting chance, and was developed. Ranka winning could have been a possibility, but Mirage doesn't share this same quality.

I'm not a fan of this triangle, and i'm not even rooting for any of these girls, which is why I can see the reality of it. Fans tend to get distracted, and invested in the triangle, that they begin to miss facts.

Freyja fans are out of hand, hyping Freyja to the max. However Mirage fans are honestly setting themselves up for failure. Its not about how these girls feel, it's about how Hayate feels. And they are constantly showing the contrast between his reactions between Freyja/Mirage.

As much as people say Mirage is undeveloped, she really isn't. However she won't win the triangle. Hayate see's her as just a friend. In fact his friendship with Freyja, is on a higher level than his friendship with Mirage. Episode 16 points towards his blossoming love interest in Freyja.

Even during episode 13, when he hugges Mirage. It was in a friendly way, while that same episode, a few seconds later speaks with Freyja in a flirtatious way.

OK, let's see then

That's true. SDF has to be considered, where Minmay lost because she and Hikaru weren't on the same level and their relationship dragged each other down, unlike Hayate and Freyja who concentrste okn each other, connect well, and make each other stronger/better in what they love to do.

>>144509298

MOTHERFUCKING THANK YOU. I've said this a few times but people are so stubborn and keep saying MISA WON IN THE END, OLDER GIRL ALWAYS WINS! And I'm over here like Bitch, Misa won because the communication between Hikaru and Minmay was absolute shit. There was never a midway point where they met each other. HikaruMinmay was full of cracks and miscommunication which is what ultimately helped Misa win the bowl.

This time around however this situation doe not exist for Mirage. Hayate and Freyja is like this fucking fortress of a relationship that has no Cracks or weaknesses, they complement each other down to the T. Comparing it to the SDF triangle is fucking stupid, they're a far cry from even being slightly alike.

I really doubt Delta would have sold that much more if there was a real triangle. People's tastes have changed over the years.

There are more than 20 named characters. Of course most of them will be undeveloped. All other anime don't focus on more than 4-5 characters too. The difference is that usually supporting characters do not have names (or faces at all).
We have only 26 episodes, it's just plain impossible to develop everyone.

How can you even say that after ep 13?

>the plot is meandering
Literally everything was connected so far. And it will continue to be.

>>144510793
It's funny how you Miragefags go after simple comments to shitpost about Mirage winning and yet you never answer posts that give compelling arguments on why Mirage will not win and you also do not reply when asked to give proof on reasons why Mirage should win the bowl without bringing your memes into the equation.

Just a simple observation.

>>144510933
I agree.

Frontier had Sheryl, and she really pushed the character development forwared.

In delta there is no character like Sheryl.

Unless Mirage becomes a hard tsundere, there will be no character development in Delta.

Mirage won't really go after Hayate, and nothing will happen.

>>144511718
How about Freyja? Or is you brain too damaged with Ranka XD memes?
Hayate joined Delta only because of encounter with Freyja. Her words is the reason he decided to find his place in this world. Freyja is the reason Hayate decided to fight in this war. Freyja is the reason Hayate could overcome his first kill. Freyja is the reason he managed to get gud. Hayate's character grows in unison with Freyja.
And it's not only Hayate. She has impact on all characters around. Freyja even melted a little bit of Mikumo's shinpiness.

No and no

Delta feels so empty because the characters are not explored enough, minus 1 or 2 exceptions, wich in consequence make it all worse to be quite honest because you keep waiting for stuff that should happen and must happen but just doesn't.

The disappointment is very real as the plot is hollow.

I truly wish this wasn't a Macross entry but a different series so my hopes didn't matter, but expectations are not being met this time not by a long shot not even close.

I''ll see it all trough the end for Mikumo because she made a very strong impression in the premiere and I have genuine curiosity about her story but not much else so far.

>>144511946
It's the opposite. The only thing Miragefags care is how much screen time their character gets. They actually don't even care about development because they obviously missed major change in her resolve in episode 12 as well as completely ignored development of her feelings in episode 16.
Meanwhile Freyja fans don't dislike Mirage and even pity her a little bit after this episode.

>>144512335
Nice NO U. If you can't calm down your butthurt that Mirage loses then I recommend you dropping this show.

You can only tease something for so long before the tension and anticipation begin to wear off. I'm getting tired of Mikumo's shinpiness.

>>144511289
If we are going by the current stalker points for amazon, around 13k would be a reasonable estimate for the first bluray assuming there weren't massive cancellations like with Kabaneri.
2849 (309) points specifically went to the amazon-only version which would come with a special wall scroll if all the blurays (dvds) were purchased, so that indicates to me that there are a considerable amount of people who are interested in the bonuses.
And there are a lot of stores that would come with a different (and better) bonus, so to be frank, it's hard to predict.
At Tsutaya for instance, it's at #1 now, with Love Live Sunshine second, while it's somewhere around #30 on Gamers.

On the other hand, it seems like the sales for a show that comes with an event ticket raffle in its first volume is probably boosted 1.5 times normal, so I can see it hovering above and below 10k for the second volume on unless Delta does prove to pick up and do much needed character development.

The franchise has become for lower ages is what it feels.

Mikumo has her mystical alluring aura but that's it for me.

I wanted something like this as soon as we found out about Freyja being a Windie meant she had superior physical abilities. I still pray for something like this to happen.

Delta is really not a bad show, but I don't enjoy it as much as I used to. They're focusing too much on Freyja as opposed to the plot for my tastes. The main plot/mysteries have barely advanced at all.

Delta had a lot potential but did not deliver.

jesus fucking christ

I'm getting tired of Delta and I'm specifically getting tired of the show drawing out both the love triangle and the mystery of Mikumo. The writing is obviously going out of it's way not to fall down one way or the other for the love triangle and I just wish the show would decide on one of them and start setting it up instead of constantly trying to thread a needle with both. Mirage specifically asks Hayate if he fancies Freyja and he says he doesn't think of her as a partner, and is left kind of wondering and unsure when Mirage says that finding her fun is possibly the start of a relationship. His musing reaction says he isn't trying to hide something but just hasn't thought of her that way. He might not think of Mirage as a woman, but he doesn't seem to think of Freyja as one either.

>The screenwriters are focusing in the lead character

Why is this allowed?

It's pretty obvious that he's homosexual.

It's fun to see people complain about Mirage not getting any character development when Freyja didn't change any as a character, she just achieved her dream of joining Walkure, was accepted by everyone and has just been making funny faces and holding up the love triangle since. Yea, she's hiding her sadness with smiles, but it doesn't actually appear to be affecting her character or indicating any growth because of the situation.

>>144510933
I disagree. Almost all of the mian characters have had significant, ableit slow-burning, development. It might not seem it watching it week to week, but I bet if you were to go back and watch what we have altogether you'd you that there's has been some remarkable progression, especially given the amount of characters. I agree there certainly could be more, but we also needed that worldbuilding and sense of galactic scale, so it was a necessary compromise.

I feel like Delta is a lot stronger plot wise than Fronteir ever was. And the main characters are a lot more likeable, but I can't help but feel the entire secondary cast in Delta suffers. I hardly know the other Walkure girls or the rest of the Delta staff, they are just there to show up and remind us they are there. and the Windmere are just a joke.

In comparison, the secondary in Frontier shown way better, Azuma and the villians Leon and Grace. I guess it's a trade off?

It's kinda sad how we are 10 episodes away from the show ending, and everyone is pissy and complaining about bad writing just because of a dumb triangle. Nobody is discussing the actual plot, the pacing of the show etc. It's my girl is underdeveloped blah blah, these characters are pointless etc.

How many shows out there has every single secondary character fleshed out to it's core?

I want to protect Mirage's smile

>>144510933
Explain underdeveloped and shallow? Because the only characters that fit those criteria in Delta are Chucks sibilings, and the two set of twins, along with the bridge bunnies. A lot of you guys are complaining about character development and can't even write for shit, or don't even know what good writing is. Completely basing a shows writing off your feeble brains of what makes a character substantial.

You're being very unfair, and basing traits on what you feel are correct.

Who's that character in the back?

>>144517757
Not our fault that the show wastes episodes with silly fanservice or birthday parties. It has been 3 episodes since Windermere conquered Ragna and no one (Windies, Delta, NUNS,Epsilon, NUNG...) has done anything yet to advance the plot.

>>144508159
No, it was pretty clear even early on that nobody actually expected Mirage to win.

This is the most obvious non-triangle in the whole franchise aside from Zero.

>>144517757
Macross isn't a killing show and neither a pure musical.

If it fails fleshing out characters and developing compelling relationships it brings the whole thing down a notch or several notches.

>>144517907
Who's that person in the back?

>>144517865
95% of the fanbase through the whole 30 years have never written once in their lives yet we have all of our senses to get when things are good and bad.

>>144512379

They're idols of course they are.

Just caught up with the show (haven't watched anime for 3 weeks or so) and after reading the thread I have to ask: Am I the only one enjoying this right now? I don't mind the slower episodes, Infact, I think that ep 16 is the cosiest shit i've seen since K-on! and that's saying a lot. I mean, yeah, the side characters aren't the strongest but i've seen worse. Didn't like the new op though and the new ed isn't Earth, Wind and Apples but it's still nice, reminds me of Borderline. But still, there was still stuff going on, some backstories was hinted about and it was still enjoyable.

Let's just hope that they'll pick up the pace in the next episode. It was a nice change of pace but it's about to outstay its welcome.

>/a/ hates Freyja now

>>144518378
I'm enjoying it immensely too.
And I agree; they need to get on the action soon; they already rested for three episodes.

I actually bought the CD because I'm a poorfag, even though I haven't even watched the fucking show. The music is real impressive. Whoever wrote it is a very talented composer. Neostream especially is insanely clever with that theme blending.

How to fix Delta's too many characters problem:

>Makina and Reina are bridge bunnies, delete the current ones
>Delete the twins and Cassim
>Merge Mirage and Chuck, we only need one bro character
>Merge Kaname and Arad

Done.

As a 100% Mikumofag, the reason she's gotten shitter in my eyes is becase, as a total weapons grade autist, I can relate to the whole vapid "vapid genki bitch gets all the attention and love, while the introvert who would probably be pretty cool if you made a bit of an effort to talk to her gets left in the corner to suffer" theme that's going on. Basically, it's objevtively an injustice that Mirage has to suffer so.

>>144518378
I enjoyed it too, the problem we have here is the secondary characters didn't get any development while Hayate and Freyja suck all the screentime because they're MC. Look like they gonna work with the plot again so I think we will get other character's development for sure.

Character Analysis: Mirage

When the audience first meets Mirage, we quickly realize that she is a very serious minded girl who takes her job seriously. She does however has a soft side, and will apologize if she is wrong. We also learn that Mirage takes piloting very seriously, and that she is the newest and least skilled of the Delta Platoon. She doesn’t agree with having Hayate join at first, but eventually realizes his potential after her defeat during his exam. After her disagreement phase with Hayate, the two start forming a comrade/friend based relationship. We learn that Mirage is an excellent pilot, who flies by the book perfectly, however this type of flying still won’t work against seasoned pilots. Along with this she is also fairly clumsy. The audience also learns that Mirage is very uptight with almost everything, however under her serious exterior, lies a girl who is just an average girl. She enjoys girly and kawaii things. While her relationship with Hayate evolves from comrades, to friendship, she slowly begins to realize she not only admires him as a pilot, but might also like him romantically. The biggest and probably the most important revelation we have learned from Mirage is her connection with the Max and Mira family. Mirage is their granddaughter, and as a pilot she is faced with high expectations by many. Mirage is very self conscious about this since she isn’t an natural pilot like them, and restricts herself when she flies. She will forever remain trapped, unless she frees herself. A mystery that remains hidden about Mirages past is the indecent that took place during her time serving the NUNS. Something happened, which caused her to let down a whole lot of people, and either be removed or transferred to chaos. This is something that haunts her to this day, and probably aids in her trapping herself, and the way she flies.

The Mirage from episode 1 is different from the Mirage we know in episode 16

Character Analysis: Mikumo

When the audience first meets Mikumo, we quickly notice that of all the Walkure she stands out the most. Not only in her design, but general aura. Mikumo dives into the battle field ready for action, singing and dancing among the battle. We eventually learn that Mikumo is strict and takes being apart of Walkure very seriously. She was the most disappointed in Freyja’s performance during the audition, and the one who came up with a plan to get results from Freyja, in order for her to pass. We learn that Mikumo is very perceptive and tactical, as she was able to figure out that Hayate and Freyja have a connection and created the plan during episode 3 for Freyja to witness what her duty is as a Walkure member, and the duty of the pilots. We further learn that Mikumo is constantly disappointed in Freyja lack of fold wave production, and gives her a tough time because of this. Mikumo has a burning passion for singing, and expresses her emotions through singing. On stage, Mikumo serves as the glamorous and confident eye candy and lead vocalist of the group. However off stage her personality in more of an introvert, with an Ojou-sama personality. Mikumo does however care a lot for Walkure, and the members of Chaos. She is also willing to put her life on the line, in order to save the other girls, especially Freyja. As the episodes go on, we begin to see Mikumo’s softer side, along with her interacting more and more. There is way more to this character than all the things i’ve mentioned, and she is definetly the most complex and three dimensional character of Delta.

Mikumo is more than just a plot device.

>>144519180
>so I think we will get other character's development for sure.

I posted the interview a week ago but the second cour is or at least the director and series composer claim it will focus on fleshing out the other characters.

Character Analysis: Reina

Tsundere or Kuudere? When we first meet Reina, we notice that she is the most delicate and fragile member of Walkure, always being constantly protected or saved by Makina. We eventually learn she has a Kuudere like personality, with a slight twist (she’s also tsun). Her dialogue, which can go unnoticed by most of the audience, due to her design yells Kuudere voice style, with tsundere remarks. Reina is also the lead hacker of Chaos, and leads a lot of the computerized operations. Reina has a passion for singing, she loves cute creepy things, and her favorite types of food are raw. Except for Freyja, Reina is the second most fleshed out Walkure. We know her likes, dislikes, what she considers home etc. Reina is a very underrated character, who people unconsciously choose to ignore because of her unideal design. Short hair, green color scheme, tomboyish look.

>>144518378
What made you decide to watch the show?

>>144518557
Or accept that very minor characters are not meant to be developed and just there to fill the space and act as a greek chorus. It's either name them and put them in the background or fill the space with even more generic blank-faced "crowd" bodies.

>>144519349
Knowing that she likes raw food and cute creepy things doesn't make her a fleshed out character.

>>144519437
She's suffering the most, even tho she isn't the only one it's who highlights the most.

>>144519452
>trusting Kawamori after Sousei, Evol, The Fool
No thank you

>>144519394
There was an episode where Mirage heard flashback voices, of an even that occured. It is implied that Mirage was needed for something and failed.

It's a pattern, Ive noticed with Delta. Small information are dropped all over and some might go unnoticed, or seem unimportant. But i've been stressing it for awhile now. Almost every line or dialogue is important in this show, you just have to pay attention.

>>144519552

I want to believe in Kawamori and tell you to get a grip here because there is no chance and I mean 0% chance that he by himself (or his circle of trust (or his test audience)) hasn't realized what's going on and the problem we are seeing just now but since months ago.

>>144519814
Remember Mikono?

>>144519930
I would argue that Macross isn't Aquarion or Basquash and it's held to a higher standard.

>>144519930
Wasn't the actual problem with Mikono was that she was completely useless and did nothing?

>>144520110
And everything and everyone existed only to bend the knee and lick her boots, from the villains to the hero himself.

I wish they didn't make Makina sing like that. I'm sure her VA could sing as Makina without sounding too much like talking Makina

Everyone would just laugh at Freyja crying in the last scene.

>>144523396
That's true. Basically shipper logic is

Older/Sexy = Should win even if her personality sucks

Younger/less developed body = Should lose and is fucking annoying for trying to compete for someone's love

A lot of anons may deny it but that's what's got their panties in a twist, that Freyja is "winning" even though she's not the sexy one

>>144523396
You know it's the result of stuff adding up until make a pile not from a scene or episode alone.

The rest are very thin.

>>144523590
>You know it's the result of stuff adding up until make a pile not from a scene or episode alone.

That may be true to some people but let's be honest, like 80% of the outlash came from the fact that this episode was a huge leap in the HayaFre direction.

While it is true that the anime is far from perfect, the outlash this episode caused is too coincidental to just be "a result". Specially since it wasn't even an episode that put anybody down.

Supporting cast were as normal. HayaMira got her screentime and interactions, I'd say the same amount that HayaFre got. The difference? That Freyja took a huge step forward and that didn't sit well with the Mirage supporters.

Simply stating the way I saw it. People are free to disagree.

>>144523803
the camel's back had to break at some point

>>144523766
It is, but the people who are complaining wouldn't care because the older superior girl is winning.

>>144521199
Freyja and Mikumo

There is nothing wrong with Macross Delta.
All the complains just come from mad shipperfags.

>>144523887
>the camel's back had to break at some point

Yeah? On an episode where one girl isn't winning.

It's fine, I'm not really going "fuck all of you". It's understandable, it happens in every anime ever in existence where there's shipping and one party pulls ahead of the other. Of course fans will get angry.

While all the comments being thrown at Freyja aren't particularly nice, they aren't as nasty as they could be (ie. Sheryl vs Ranka) so for now we're still at a civilized level.

I just hope the triangle gets resolved soon and characters get a bit more development because this whole "pity for bla bla!" is getting a bit annoying.

Overall, I think Delta has done a decent job. Not the best, but definitely decent, much better than like 90% of anime that airs.

KanameMesser was a thing that lasted 2 episode. Messer's dead. Kaname is alive. Kaname likes Arad and never showed indications of actually being in love with Messer. Of course the fanarts would slow down.

Makina and Reina. They are supporting characters that do not particularly move the plot forward (Yes they are a part of Walkure, but they do not influence the driving point of Delta). Have they been shafted and treated terribly? No, they have not. They've been made likeable, have had their cute scenes, and are constantly shown being happy and cute together.

>>144524258
And by 2 episodes I mean, 1 episode where Kaname and Messer actually had a nice moment and 1 episode where Messer was already dead.

>>144524347
As for Mikumo? Mikumo is becoming more relevant than ever. We've been getting hints here and there and she's slowly being pushed to the front.

Mikumo's the big mystery of Delta, of course her story isn't going to be one episode of "Here y'all go!" It's going to be slowly built up until we get a climax.

>>144518917
I see where you're going. Mirage might be a fun character were Hayate to talk to her. She's probably an unashamed Jeniusfag.

>Fire Bomber tracks
>Model kits
>Flight manuals
>A few flight sims and a computer
>Books on better communication

But nope, we never learn anything about her except "Here is silent introvert with family issues. You want development? Too bad. You like Freyja more. She idol. Mirage not".

Let me tell you something a little offtopic about the japanese crowd.

They think the same they see all the positives and flaws much more than us (obviously) but their education and environment doesn't allows them to complain or show criticism.

"to live is to endure" being one of their mottoes they almost never protest against social injustice, government lies, trash tv, or anything from domestic origin. Journalism for them is literally reporting.

Their fandom patience is on religious levels for occidental people like us. And in case the situations hit the shitter and everything goes to hell, even if they hate it they are just likely to step down and make no comments about it.

>>144524640
>Not slowly, she's being pushed really heavy this month. Like it's crazy! She's promoted on everything these days, like Freyja. Mirage too the backseat of a magazine, that Mikumo was on the front page of

Tell that to the fans that are all "everyone is sucking Freyja's dick". Mikumo has been coming really strong lately but yet all they see is "terrible writing, worst macross ever, poor mirage, poor secondary characters, poor that one guy who was in that one scene waxing the siegfried why arent we getting any development on him?"

That's because Mikumo is the undisputed 2nd main heroine, and third main character of Macross Delta.

Do you seriously expect the "final puzzle" to be revealed so early on? Of course not. It's how they keep fans hooked. Give them a little bit at a time, keep them guessing. If something is important/game changing, you can bet your ass it'll be revealed until somewhere along the last 4-5 final episodes.

Now that I remember Ikenai borderline ends on a sad note
>All I wanted was to be loved
Mikumo thought the best way to say goodbye to Messer was a song. She also had no idea what people usually did in a birthdady party so the best thing she could offer to her cute kouhai was a birthday song.

Mikumo can only sing and release fold waves, but she doesn't know what she's singing for. She's feeling something is missing and this feeling is love, not a a romantic one mind you, maybe motherly love toward Freyja but also towards the windermerians.

Mikumo leaves
Mikumo is incapacitated

Which is the more likely, next episdoe?

>>144524908
Nope but it tells why you aren't likely going to find anyone saying "fuck it I'm done" on nipon blogs.

>>144524943
People have been saying the Mikumo secret won't be revealed at all. She probably going to hint towards it during the last minutes of the episode.

Nips and a lot of western fans think they are saving it for a fresh movie. Kinda like the last frontier movie.

>>144525126
I still think Mikumo won't make it out of delta alive. Her whole character screams "i'm going to sacrifice myself as an ancestor to save them"

Also she's recently grown very very VERy fond of Freyja, shielding her from attacks and looking at her fondly, even going as far to seek her out to talk. So I don't think Mikumo sacrificing herself for Freyja is too far out there, seems very plausible.

>>144525284
I think she's thinking "If it's this girl, I can leave walkure in her hands"

>>144525126
That's the whole deal with Mikumo. She's designed to sing, and that's the only way she knows how to express herself. Mikumo doesn't even know the real reason she sings for.

The lyrics for Giraffe Blues makes is even more depressing. Freyja sings to Mikumo:
>Taking it into your hands, you counted everything you can lose…
>you even hid all your tears… didn’t you?

And Mikumo responds saying:
>Even if I take hold of it, I won’t be able to erase the futility…
>so I hide it

They storyline between Freyja and Mikumo is going to be big. One of them is going to sacrifice them self for the other. Either way, it's a sad ending. A constant theme in their songs.

>>144525136
They're pretty vocal when it comes to anime actually.

>>144525128
Mikomo being awesome and sexy.

Freyja's singing looked to be getting too strong for Hayate? Anyone else think this?

Her song during at the park looked it was doing harm to his body.
He was blacking out , I thought he was going to pass out.

>>144525526
>blacking out
more like surprised. It's their resonance that's getting stronger.

>>144525526
The crystal was physically closer? It may become a drug or Var-ish effect but without it he can't match Keith so...

>>144525284
>>144525368
That's so sad. But Mikumo did have a very high interest in Freyja. That's probable why she tries not to get too attached to anyone.

>>144525526
It's not harming him. It's their resonance becoming stronger so now they're even sharing emotions. It's pretty much just a testament of them becoming closer so now they're "resonance bond" is becoming deeper

>>144525793
Hayate is immune to VAR/VAR mind control. The crystal isn't harming him in any shape or form. It's like you people didn't even watch Frontier and the whole fold quartz being a thing.

>>144525526
Her singing isn't getting stronger, just their ability to resonate. Remember that fold waves travel, and fold quartz picks up and amplifies them

>>144518917
Oh wow.
>The cheerful character who's interacting with everyone and everyone is comfortable with is receiving love
>what a bitch!

>The silent awkward introvert who doesn't even try socializing with the others and is just following her crush everywhere is left to suffer
>Injustice!

>>144525526
He seems to be getting scared of their increasing resonance, like kiznaiver scared

>>144526035
If Freyja cum will Hayate feel her orgasm too?

>>144526035
Oh my God. You people are crazy. He's not scared of their resonance. He was overwhelmed by the sadness and desperation that Freyja unintentionally transmitted to him by her singing. Their bond is becoming deeper so the power of their resonance is growing as well, now up to the point where they can feel each other's emotions.

>>144525794
It makes sense she was grooming her to be her replacement of sorts

>>144526130
Of course he will. Because they'll be cumming together if you catch my drift

Maybe keeping it on reduces his lifespan so Freyja can live up to 45-50 if he never removes it?

>>144526145
I think Freyja is going to sacrifice herself for Mikumo instead. We have constantly seen Mikumo protect Freyja, so it would be awesome character development if Freyja is the who protects her.

Especially since Mikumo is going to loose her fold wave ability. They did say Freyja and Mikumo will switch roles

>>144526170
Now I want NTR doujinshi with Freyja get rape by fat old man who forced her to sing when they having sex while Hayate feel her orgasm from the distance.

I only recall Mikumo protecting her once. She did work on getting Freyja up to speed through tough love, and she's obviously proud of her. Freyja for her part always feels a step behind Mikumo. The role reversal is when Freyja has to hold together Walkure, covering for Mikumo. What circumstances will lead to this though

If there are no other options, which one you will pick?

>>144526572
>>144526598
Walkure should have been the main characters desu. With Hayate and Mirage as side characters.

>>144527316
>the triangle ends in episode 16, she lose, then she get personal development after that
this one

>>144527323
They have to promoting album anon.

>>144527316
Man get some dignity & think for a second before shitpost.

>>144527316
Doesn't matter who you are. The second is infinitely better. I think her getting no development whether she wins or loses is detrimental to the show overall.

>>144527323
I would have dropped it. Walkure have 2.5 interesting characters. That's 2.5 complete non-events. Plus I only personally like 1.5 of that objective 2.5.

Shit call m8

>>144527358
No, I know. It's just that they would have been more interesting than Hayate and Mirage. The only problem is that a pilot has to be a main

>>144527443
And the main three only has 2 interesting characters. Plus i'm sure if they were main, they would be much better than they are now.

>>144527316
>>winning triangle but end up getting no development
Pretty sure 99% of fans will goes really mad if this happens, not even Miragefags will happy for it(other than that shitposter in here).

>that official change
Now i understand why Asami Seto answer like that in interview.
But can't be helped, Mirage is not idol after all, hope she can have fun in Kuromukuro and Regalia.

All of this shitposting is ruining the music for me. Thanks a lot /a/

Walkure would've been better without Pink and Green. Kawamori wanted an idol unit so he tossed in two characters who do nothing besides make it into a 'unit' size. Walkure should've just been a veteran and a newbie trainee.

Kaname is doing fine, she could just have a complex about how much better the Shinpi is than she ever was. Makina is actually carrying her weight as a mechanic, but she does nothing as an idol. Green does nothing. Oh, wait, she's a leet haxx0r who sings her way through firewalls, I almost forgot.

>>144527572
No matter what happens over the course of the show or these threads, you'll still have the music anon. Don't fret.

Hikaru. Thought he was an okay guy who was very relatable throughout most of the show. I had a bit of falling out with him after episode 27. Like I had cheered him on to get with minmay early on because that's what he wanted, but then he clearly ended up with Misa, and clearly he needed to start acting like a good man for her.

Basara. Not much to say. Completely static character, not very relatable. A super robot hero whose angle is singing. Felt the universe bent around itself so that it could prove him right. He does have a loveable douche thing going though, admittedly.

Alto. Probably my least favourite macross lead. For a long time I felt he had only two emotions, angry and blushing. He avoided a lot of mecha pilot shounen tropes which was nice, and he had complicated family issues that weren't the norm, so another plus if you like that.

Hayate. Might be the TV Macross lead I'm liking the most so far. He started out feeling like he'd be Alto 2.0 when I first saw him, but he's proven me wrong. He went from being listless and aimless, to finding something he wants to do, to taking it seriously, to dedicating himself to something bigger, to accepting he sometimes has to do something he doesn't want to. He didn't even hesitate to try and kill Keith in episode 13. He feels pretty dynamic.

>>144527598
?

Makina and Reina basically do about the same amount in terms of stuff outside of Walkure, especially since they're always together. There's only been a few extra scenes of Makina working on a VF or talking about planes.

>>144527598
Stop shitting on Reirei~
Please anon-kun, she's my 2nd fav walkure

>>144527806
Nao, and Asami probably shit talk the staff about their roles in Delta.

Most of the comments on Walkure MV are Nao fags. I bet they just used her popularity

The biggest mistake they did with Mriage is they created a character that need development.
What i'm saying is it's fine if they want to focus more on music(Walkure) and battle(Hayate) like how Kawamori implied in interview, in fact it's better in business way.
But then the sponsor still ask for triangle, so they made one, and no matter is Mirage purely created for triangle or not, the triangle still end up not focused, and Mirage is a character that need noticeable time to develop.
If they don't want spend time to develop Mirage, they should make her personality same as Inaho-yup, Aldnoah Zero's Inaho, then they don't have to develop her, just make her great in tactical since beginning, and make her realize "i'm for fall Hayate afterall" in say, 2nd last episode then lose it, then the triangle will be really faint and the complaining will be way less than now.

>>144528088
The problem is they need a great skill pilot who inspired Hayate and that character is Messer.

>>144528166
Messer is not tactical type, they should make Mirage great in tactical since beginning so they don't need to spend time for development her in battle anymore(if they planned this in last 10 episodes of the show), and we can even more focus on main plot.

Of course that may mean less personal show off, but i don't think it's bad trade.

You should watch the show, anon. The songs are even more awesome when they play in it.

>>144512379
That Mikumo damn.
10/10

>>144528088
I think they created Mirage purely because the sponsors needed a love triangle. She got the short stick of it and they run with it. And it seems to me she only get 'development' because of it.

She seemed interesting and had potential from the start but it never got there. The only changes we have seen of her is that she mellowed down after her battle with Hayate and now she became more dere/girlier.

>>144528088
I say Mirage's destiny is to win the love race in the end because of first the unconscious feelings bottled up in her heart which now looks transformed into selfless love, along with the blossoming camaraderie with Hayate even if she's still self-conscious around him.
Well, and her resemblance to Misa to a lesser extent.

But beyond that, there lies the problem that they keep setting her up in different fronts as her career, her family, her past failure that they rumored, her true passion (which i think is not piloting), and now her romantic feelings for Hayate.

For all the preparations they make she always ends up without depth in her things they don't explore deeper in anything about her. Everything about Mirage still feels like a great concept about to take off that keeps being delayed and isn't allowed to fly.

It's has felt like that since various episodes ago like a great constant injustice that for me has reached a threshold point.

>>144528305
From Kawamori's comment i don't think they created Mirage purely because triangle, however it seems they don't know how to develop her without involving triangle part(i assume they planned Freyja wins Hayatebowl since beginning), so she end up always package with Hayate and keep give her some irrelevant lines in non-battle scene.

I hope she'll open up to other people soon, I'm tired of seeing her around Hayate everytime. Yes I know she had that talk with Kaname but it's fucking Kaname man she better stay away from her.

>>144517757
The dumb triangle is the main appeal. They must develop Mirage otherwise expect the complaint.

>>144528429
Can you please link me to Kawamori's comment about Mirage? It would change my opinion about her then.

If what you say it's truth then I see where the problem lies with her development which is only connected to Hayate and the triangle thing.

>>144528435
I hope she does. She seems friendly if you make her open up more and even tease her a bit.
