Just watched the first episode. So the idea is a group of idols with magic singing use their powers while a group of pilots protect them? Just wanting to make sure, at some parts I couldn't tell if the planes were remote piloted by the idols (since it looked like some of them came out of the planes).

I'm already hooked. The visuals, people, everything all looks great. Is Mirage a pilot? I couldn't tell if she was the female pilot in the delta group or not.

It's not magic, it's :techno:!

But yeah, it's great. The idols are not pilots, I think the pilots just delivered them. And yes, watch the second episode to find out more!

It's good! Haven't seen Valkyrie on Valkyrie combat in a while, nor do i recall ever having the opposing force have Songs of their own. Plus, i'm a sucker for having my nostalgia buttons pushed.

Maybe Mirage in the future will start dancing as well and become a better pilot

This is pretty interesting to me as I was a big fan of the original Macross in the 80's (I got the chance to watch Do You Remember Love in the theater to my first trip to Japan in '84). I passed on 7 as I was really loving busy in the 90s and never bothered. I've seen Zero, but never even heard of Frontier until today. Is it worth watching at all?

This really does have a great Macross feel to it, and I'm overall liking this series a lot. Is it a short series?

it's 2-cours, so it's gonna be about 26 episodes. Frontier is fine, but not my personal favorite but i know some people here love it. You should definitely check out Macross Plus though.

Yeah I'm getting back into some anime mostly due to nostalgia (I watched it a lot in the 70s-80s). Is Plus a single movie? Also do 2-cours shows get split up between years? I'm really out of the loop with a lot of this stuff.

Frontier is pretty good, though I think Delta might end up being the better series.

Plus is either a 3-episode series or a single movie. The movie has a couple extra scenes so go with that one. A cour in regards to anime means a 13-week block, or one fourth of a year. While there are shows that split, it's usually not several years (Concrete Revolutio had one cour in autumn of 2015 and the second started in spring of 2016, Gundam Iron-blooded orphans had 2 cours going from autumn 2015 to spring 2016 and the next 2 will start again in autunm 2016), and Macross Delta isn't one of them either way.

Fwiw Frontier was my reintroduction to Macross after being all about the Robotech as a kid and I loved the ever living poo poo out of it. Inspired me to watch the original sdf Macross even (turns out I loved that too!)

It'll never happen but I'd love for an overwhelming amount of Vars pilots to be about to overwhelm our heroes and from the distance they hear someone shout "Listen to my song!"

Also from this episode Macross space hacking seems pretty hosed up.

Wait, so Valkyries become more powerful after they jettison their FAST packs?

Edit: On a serious note, I can't tell whether they meant Windamerians or humans when they said civilians died.

Also, Roid's hilarious protoculture theory.

This was the most ludicrous episode yet. Magical singing hackers, singing while doing a goddamn infiltration mission, let's send the pilots and the idol singers to infiltrate an enemy planet because it builds character, evil space apples.

Also don't forget that they cut a bunny shaped hole in a wall. I love this show more than I can articulate.

So, with the uh, drastic difference of opinion in who dimension bombed the planet what are the odds there's a yet to be revealed third player in this?
