Mikumo's pretty great, but COMMANDER KANAME BUCCANEER is clearly the girl who gets things done.

Kinda weird that all these Immelman, Guynemer, Prowler, Mölders, Johnson, and Mustang people like to give their daughters the weaboo-est names but the boys get "Chuck" and "Ernest"

It's Japan. Chuck and Ernest are basically weaboo names.

Finally got around to watching the second episode.

The girl with the permanent cat smile is good.

Hayate just can't catch a break though. Every time he does ok and feels the wind someone shoots him from behind.

I wasn't really feeling this series based on the first two episodes, something about the overshowy idol fight felt wrong.
Opinion has changed, show is good. :getin:

Someone theorized it earlier, but I'm also now on board with the idea that Purple Idol is an AI/android. Punching out of the ground, ~mysterious living arrangements ~. Maybe Vers syndrome is nanomachine based and that's why she can fix it.

Also, Green and Red are totally a couple.

Daedalus1134 posted:

The opening basically screams "she's the third corner of a love triangle", it's Macross so a love triangle is basically mandatory, and her entire character is based around being straight-laced and by-the-book whereas Hayate doesn't give a gently caress about anything so she's going to be super annoyed with him about that.

Prepare yourself.

She's obviously the third part of the triangle, she can be that without being a cliched tsundere character though. I like all of the three, they're spunky and tease each other and generally interact in interesting ways.

Normally tsunderes get upset because their brains are broken. I don't really blame Mirage for being mad at a slacker who refuses to learn how to not die. If anything everyone else is too laid back about it.

All of them can reverse it with the power of music using the fold whatever thing. That's the show's gimmick.

The windemerians are behind the plague, or at least are trying to prevent walkure from treating it. The cure is to affect people emotionally via fold stuff and singing. Since all of the windemerians have fold tentacles, the cause is probably similar to the cure.

Is it just me or is the interplay between Freyja and Hayate really refreshing? They aren't all shy and all that garbage, they sass each other, it seems like a natural down-to-earth tone between them.

I too hope Mirage doesn't turn dere on us but it's Macross, it's gonna happen, and all I can say is I hope that Freyja wins.

I dunno man, I like that sass. I'm torn.

Also, I really like the music in this series. I mean, even when Freyja was just singing with no music. It's pretty great.

Oh, the sass is good, I like the sass. We need more friendly prodding between likely couples.

What amazes me is Freyja's VA being a total rookie. Her first ever role. Not even first lead role, first role EVER.

Macross always has good couples/trios who interact in great ways. It's one of the main reasons I still love the series.

I like it, but I think Sheryl and Alto had a lot of the same tone personally, becuase Sherly constantly teased Alto about their attraction and how he didn't deserve her and poo poo. It's a good chunk of the reason I liked them.

Ranka in Frontier was also that VA's first ever role and I liked her performance a lot.
