The rest of the Aerial Knights were pretty oblivious except for Herman and Cassim (but neither suspected just how far has Roid fallen). Herman only suspected he lied about Gramia's will. You have to keep in mind the twins and Bogue are just teenagers, who are angry and led by their emotions (they are 15-16, iirc), so they are easily manipulated by crafty people. Remember how Alto, Klan and Luca blindly followed Leon's villainous plans in Frontier? It's the same thing. Only in the very last episode Alto got a clue.

You know, now that I think about it: Isn't Freyja rescuing Mikumo from her brainwashing finishing up her arc from the earlier episodes where she intended to show Mikumo how serious she is about singing?
And also, Ami Koshimizu (voice of Mikumo), does a splendid job in this episode. Because when she confesses she wishes to sing with them, her voice breaks for a moment prior to saying her typical catchphrase. To be honest, it's that moment where it feels like the Mikumo/Freyja arc is closed where I nearly shed a tear (gave me vibes of Sheryl/Ranka from Frontier there). |

So, the entire Delta to me is just portraying how Japan should have won WW2. Just take over China, a few islands, and then kill off the generals who wanted more war and sue for peace while Japan is still ahead. That allow Japan to keep all its territories, same as with Windermere seemingly keeping ownership of the planets they have taken.
Bravo. The first pro-war Macross TV series.

No, my problem with this show that it is one of superficialities, storylines which go nowhere, ideas which are not thought out well and were never meant to finish properly.

I think the main problem with Macross Delta is that it should have been called Macross Windermere. Don't get me wrong, I love sweet vindication and validation in general about the message and the overall outcome however it does confirm that Delta Squad in general were... pointless. That I find a little problematic because huh, they are the protagonists, right? Right?
Freyja solved the singing plot, saving Mikumo. Keith killed the antagonist (who was Roid). Heinz ended the war on his own will (not because anything Ernest or Arad did). Even random saving singers action scene went to Bogue (wow Mirage and Chuck really suck to protect the idols they were assigned to, huh?). In short, if you weren't a Windermerian, you were just an extra in the story. Hayate, the main character, seemed more Freyja's love interest. Just my impression here. I'm not saying I hate this, but I can see why some people could have been upset? (On the other hand, you can argue it was foreshadowed when the first things introduced in the show were the Aerial Knights and Walkure. The Delta squad pilots were unseen ). Ohhh, by the way, Kaname's most important memory was about Messer. That made me happy. Death and Arad didn't stop my OTP.

I'm pretty sure if you have been following these threads daily. You can see a lot of people caring about it so, why is it a surprise? I mean, I wouldn't even check these threads if no one talked about the romance which is why I avoid macross world forums. It's also a macross series known for the love triangles but I guess this one is less of a love triangle. |

Yeah, she could have gotten a more assertive personality, but if you view her as a supporting character instead of one of the main protagonists, she does pretty great. Her and Mikumo are the only two characters in this entire show I do gave something about in the end.
