For some reason, I am not surprised by the spoilers. Not one bit.
Saw that coming. It wasn't obviously clear, but I was expecting. Can't say I am 'glad' my expectations were somewhat matched, but you get the point. - Tak

This only proves why Sword Art Online always gets new seasons and movies despite how Western fans don't like it. Delta is also proof. If it's popular in Japan, that's all they care about, lore be damned. And yes, I do mean how Western Macross fans are pissed about Spoiler for Megaroad-01 & SDF-1 stuff:

Like I say Lady M are not viillain as so far Lady M action helping heroes and all those conspiracy theory on Lady M stealing Star singer DNA are false and already revealed and debunked in Delta Movie 2.
Did you actually think Lady M is villain? |

I've also gotten pretty critical of the Kawa in the last 2 years, especially after the first Delta movie. I read here that it wasn't as bad as the show. Only got the energy toether in 2020 to watch. I disagree. It was just as bad, but for different reasons. The 2 positives were 1. Hayate wasn't the stalking creep as portrayed in the novels and by extension the TV series 2. they removed the "let's feel bad for the space nazis" bit and kind of centered that around Roid being space führer and that was it. Delta1 ends on a spectacular scale of just recycling old ideas, Mikumo singing Ai Oboete Imasu Ka and Freyja doing a daring leap of faith was just the Frontier TV ending again, which also had similarities mostly with Zero. And other stuff Kawamori wrote. He just keeps writing the same story, basically. Oh and, Freyja is a weird amalgam of Ranka and Sheryl, but someone else pointed it out to me that she was more Sheryland Mirage was more Ranka, so AruaRan shippers who use HayaFre as comfort: lol. I don't want to be too off topic, but my thoughts on D1/Kawaretrospective provide a much needed context for D2. I know I have like 3 people if not more blocked, and like. I blocked you for a reason. I won't see your response, because, get this, I don't care. And I'm allowed to. So are you. Don't get personal and I won't do the same with you. I'm not looking to pick bones with the mods, but it is hard to not get miffed when some random person gets overly personal despite a block meaning you are very clearly setting boundaries and they are crossing those. These exist on AS for a reason, and that's a good thing. So: Spoiler:

Kawamori is very much like George Lucas, they both have incredible talent in creativity, but some of their ideas can get... err... peculiar.
On the other hand, the Yoko Kanno + Macross combo had always been superb. May'n's vocals also overshadowed pretty much everyone else who came after. He should try a collaboration with Hiroyuki Sawano next. - Tak

One of my initial reactions to D2 was as follows: "It could be worse. He could have spirited the entirity of Walküre away into a timeless void like the girls in 0048. ....... Like he did with Sara and Shin. Oh Shi-" Edit: For the record, I'm really just taking the most I can from this series. In this case it's making fun of it. I know that because of the Harmony Gold stuff, there are people in the fandom who take any and all discussion way waaaay more serious than normal, I get that. But nothing we do will change the perspective of whoever is handling HG, and nothing excuses bad writing. Something Delta is a prime example of. Nothing will save an entry in a franchise from criticism. And nothing should.

Actually HG and the Japanese rights holders seem to have come to a settlement some time ago (see the Macross Legalities thread), so we are kinda waiting if we'll finally get officially licensed Macross Frontier with real subs (and I mean the TV series, I know the movies already had subs).

As far as I know, Delta is the only Macross since Plus which has received official English subtitles. But it's still Japan-only. Edit: FYI, whenever I wanna watch Frontier or its movies, I literally have to download a torrent or stream it on a platform for subs despite owning the original Japanese boxset and movie discs. I don't have that issue with Delta. If only they had done that while Frontier was airing... |

Oh, okay. Someone had planted the idea that the Frontier movies had subs in my mind years ago, I guess. In any case, let's hope both TV series and movies are re-released worldwide and subs are added.

Sadly, it was limited press only so as far as I can tell, it's not available on any retailer for sale, and the one I did find only ships in Japan. Also, if CD Japan is correct on this, the original price was $147. And I don't wanna think about how inflated it is due to the limited print. I paid roughly $260 for the TV boxset special years back and it had more content added than this. And since I already own the movies on Blu-ray, it seems insane to simply buy another set just for retouched footage and English subtitles. The price itself is a turn off. |
