Very strong first episode. They altered quite a bit from the preview episode version, including the ending, so it makes more sense now. There's something really attractive and nice about character designs too(especially of the girls) Still a very strong start with some damn great music. I hope they can keep it up. If it remains at this level of quality we will have a consistent and strong 7-8/10 show this season. |

This is my first exposure to the franchise. I really like the songs and the way they battle, like power-up with songs. |

ZetaZaku said: Wow, they sure shit on everything the 30 years old franchise achieved. Hopefully they improve it, since this was really rushed and looked more like AKB0048 than Macross. This has been said repeatedly, but Macross has always been a reflection of the time period when it comes to the music. Idol groups are what's popular today. It would be foolish from a business standpoint not to take advantage of what's popular, and what would appeal to your target market. |
Matsuoka Yoshitsugu has hardly any range as a voice actor, and is grossly over-cast. Yeah. I said it. |

Even SDF Macross had braindead pop songs, but that's not the issue here. The problem is everything else going on in the episode. The plot, the characters, the CGI that looks like PS1 CGI, the laughing evil villains. Not like Frontier was a great show, but at least it had a better introduction and better (not necessarily good) CGI. It may improve, but out of the entire franchise, this was the worst first episode. |

Rewatched the first episode and was pleasantly surprised to see they added another 3-4 minutes to the episode! Still ended with a cliffhanger, but it was great to learn more about what Freya is and can do! Can't wait until episode 2!!! |

I just watched that first episode... I'm confused... that was spectacular, but all the criticism? Am I watching the same thing? - all the detailed environments, technical readouts, augmented reality seen through sunglasses? Action transformation vehicles, space dogfighting - a savant cargo pilot thrust into battle to protect a pop singer/warrior of destiny? I think I need to check my glasses. |

I don't hold the Macross franchise in very high regards (except for the DYRL movie which was amazing),I only find it semi good at best and brain dead/corny as fuck at worst.But this was just pure crap. If it doesn't step up as it goes it can easily be a contender for worst sequel/franchise entry since Gundam Reconguista. |

This is a sequel so I hope they let us know what happen to the Macross Frontier crew. I feel like they have too many characters and the singers having the ability to fight like some magic girls is annoying but I'm going to stick around for more. |

I would've rated the Episode 0.89 preview version a 3/5, but the full episode is 5 outta fuckin' 5. My blood was pumping the entire time. It's like 2008 all over again. Lahis said: So, any groups actually subbing this? gg is covering it. Look for it on Nyaa or just get it off Horriblesubs, who are hosting gg's version. (Macross is a licensing nightmare that no streaming site can afford to deal with, so there is no "official" version to rip - meaning it's fansubs or nothing, and gg are it) And for anyone reading this, don't listen to anyone who badmouths gg. They're taking subbing this show seriously. Anyone who's been around for a while knows that gg historically has loved two things: Mecha shows and sparkly FABULOUS shows. It just so happens that Macross Delta is BOTH. |

Friendly Reminder that this is a franchise where one protagonist controlled his mech with an electric guitar. Macross is a reflection of that period's musical scene in Japan. It only goes as ridiculous as that allows. |

Still the worst Macross IMO though certainly better than the .89. Without the magic girls glitz it seems pretty good but definitely is a points deduction series based on episode 1 rather than a points winning series for the things they might do right. Of course the funding for this series would have been better spent on a Klan Klang solo series instead of these newbies. Guess I will just expect D grade going forward with this. |

It's really amusing how many of you "SDF ONLY" people are complaining. I'm also assuming that most of you are Western culture based. Well guess what? Thanks to Harmony Gold and Big West, we don't have official western releases, so your criticisms don't matter. Why do you want SDF so badly? You want the story of a young pilot who fights a war against an unknown enemy who seem to be calmed down by pop music- oh wait THAT'S STILL HAPPENING. JUST WITH EVERY ELEMENT THAT MADE MACROSS AMPLIFIED. You still have your mecha, you still have your dogfights, that was shown in the first episode. They just added someone that can rhythmically can fight in a VF. I also noticed almost everyone complaining hates Freyja just because she's moe. She's headstrong and naive, nothing wrong with that. Hell just because of the power of music (oh look, that's something Macross is known for, not that any of you old men complaining will care) she doesn't care about the battle happening around her and ran straight into the fight, even singing when Hayate was carrying her. Doesn't sound like a typical moeblob. Turn your hate off, Macross isn't SDF or Plus or hell even ZERO (I bet most of you forgot you already got a serious Macross series back in 2002). Delta is still pure Macross, just concentrated. |

. I thought this was amazing, and a huge improvement over .89 episode. I must be in the minority, but I actually like CGI in mecha anime if its combined with excellent choreography, and it was, notably in the additional scence with the dancing mech. And regarding "oh, what a cash grab, what an insult to the franchise etc" Why are you still watching this franchise? Do you like watching shows that don't conflict with your personal taste just so you can complain about it? Did you forget Macross 7 and Macross Frontier happened, and this is a sequel to Frontier? |

if you watched the very first macross, you would know that the "power of songs" was how zeltran soldiers called the feelings they had when listening to Min May songs but that's cause zeltran soldiers were adult clones with absolutely no knoweldge of the opposite sex, NOT cause Min May had special powers also if you watched that series you would know that the confusion generated by the power of music was not even comparable to the panic, the fear (the retch) that zeltrans had when they saw a kiss for the first time in their life so, more than power of love, you could say that the real macross was about the power of.... hitting the puberty too late and in the wrong way while enemies are shooting at you |

I can't believe it but I'm going to drop a Macross series for the first time in 10 years. Even being a big fan of the franchise I can't stand this one, where are the feeling of the singers found in all other Macross series (besides Macross 7 which imo is the oddball in the franchise)? Also even though being the first episode I don't have any expectations for the next episodes so i'll just drop it. ZeroG said: if you watched the very first macross, you would know that the "power of songs" was how zeltran soldiers called the feelings they had when listening to Min May songs but that's cause zeltran soldiers were adult clones with absolutely no knoweldge of the opposite sex, NOT cause Min May had special powers also if you watched that series you would know that the confusion generated by the power of music was not even comparable to the panic, the fear (the retch) that zeltrans had when they saw a kiss for the first time in their life so, more than power of love, you could say that the real macross was about the power of.... hitting the puberty too late and in the wrong way while enemies are shooting at you Actually it's more about love triangles and a big struggle between cultural tensions and racial differences. The Zentraedi only knew war nothing else besides war and they even didn't knew how to repair their own ships and equipment as it was shown during SDF and a bit later in 1 or 2 parts of Macross 7 as well. |

Short version = this thing is horrible so far and if you are looking for a mecha anime move along this is not the mecha you are looking for. But if you want J-Pop magic girls fighting against mechas on foot with the power of music do come in plenty of that to be had. The rest in a bit more detail below. So the second "first" episode is basically the same shit as the first "first" ep was. Great... Delta is what happens when Macross gets an overdose of drugs and j-pop girl bands. Worst macross so far imao. Worse than 7 and even then 7 at least actually had better music than this shit. Bad music, ugly art, shity characters, terrible fight choreography (the few dogfights that we're here make no sense) lots of random chaotic movement with flashy stuff and explosions, did Michael Bay do this? And of course the only female pilot introduced has to suck in a dog fight... Would it kill you people to make at least once, just once a strong, independent, confident, skilled, pragmatic, no bs, bad ass female ace pilot? As for the VFs I mean the actual Valkyries, you know the variable fighters, the icon of macross, not the rainbow trafic light bitches Walkure or whats their name. Why are the Valkyries even here again? If they only serve as a taxi for the singers and background air show display squad they might as well use I dont know a car maybe? Its more economical than a jet fighter. Trust me you dont wanna pay maintenance and fuel bill for one of those. Though not as flashy as having your personal Blue Angels twirling around dropping smoke and flares in the background, true. Anyway this show would have done better to just go full maigcal girl but what is more important openly admit it to the world instead of claiming the mecha tag thus getting a mecha fans hopes high only to troll them in the end. Its like they tossed out all the good from Macross franchise especially SDF, Zero and Plus and only took the worst things from out of 7 and F. The only elements they really amplified was the amount of idols, singing and dancing. Anyone who objectively thinks Frontier was bad can not in clear conscience say Delta is any good since Delta is worse the F from what we see so far. Instead of fast paced, explosive mech fights we got magical girls, sorry, pop idol band fighting on the front lines using magic, sorry, holograms and what not to stop missiles, bullets and sing the enemies to death by terrible insert songs and even worse epilepsy triggering nonsensical light flashes. Would be nice if singing and striking poses could win a war. Why did our grandfathers bothered using guns in the WW2 again? When apparently singing is so fucking monosugoi awesome it can stop a missile barrage? Anyway instead of evacuating people to safety and letting the soldiers do their job these idiots throw a concert in the middle of the battlefield because fuck logic, military protocols and general citizen safety. I mean the singing magical space prostitutes are nice and all and I would bang them hard as much as any other dude believe me, or maybe not since I dont wanna catch an STD. But seriously that cant be all there is to this show. Right? Or? Do they expect to make cash purely off of the girls? Sure one can make a killing on figmas, mouse pads, dakimakuras, doujinshi, sex toys and what not but really? I remember when mecha anime used to be an advert for plamo rather than hentai material. I admit besides mecha models I also have a fair share of figures and posters and such of my favourite anime girls but still the over all amount is mecha > girls. Having bridge bunnies, pit babes, race queens, idols or however you call em as eye candy is nice and fine but watching this anime is like going to a Moto GP race that has all of the girls in bikini but none of the bikes. Dude the chicas are fine but I came here to watch a bike race and in this case mechs tearing each other appart. Yes music is part of macross but what delta does is bullshit. You dont see Minmay jumping around the battlefield stoping gunfire with holograms in the original Macross. The music in delta is used as an actual literal weapon. Delta reached the level of power of love bull shit from the end of mobile fighter G gundam in only one episode. True Basara did some crazy shit but then again 7 can hardly be taken seriously given both Basaras and the shows general immense idiocy. Now behold the idiot useless annoying moeblob Ranka ver. 2.0 who runs in to the thick of battle with an expression of utter bliss on her face and living glowing hair dispersing GN particles or does she have psycoframe? Who the F is she anyway not even Ali Al Sarches was this excited for war. No futher comments there, trust me this post is long enough without me going there. While tackling the singing characters my problem is how mechanic, mismatched and outof place the performance feels. Perhaps because there is too many singers I dont know but they give nothing in to the singing even the two from Frontier, Sheryll and never thought I say this ugh Ranka gave more of an umph and feling in to their songs. Actually Mei Nakabayashi did a good job at songs for Sheryll. Back to these delta chickas who are more like human jukeboxes or singing machines hell Hatsune Mike puts more emotion in to her songs and she is a frickin AI a music sofware. Singers in macross allways loved singing here it feels like they do it for the cash. And oh man here goes the "cool" blue protagonist kun with magical pilot/dancer skills. After all the shounens out there need someone to self insert as. Blue-boy can magically perfectly pilot a machine he never seen before not to mention it was shot down earlier and it was damaged however that didnt seem to hinder its performance in any way. Not to mention how utterly retarded and impossible the things he does to the poor VF he stole are. I know he is suposed to be the next Hikaru Ichijyo or something but really? A standard generic random damaged VF with no special customisations and adjustments to both hardware and software piloted by a civilian with no pilot training whatsoever can break dance now? That is not rhythmical fighting that is pure nonsense is what it is. VF is still a giant machine controlled by sticks, pedals and buttons from the cockpit. The control input from pilot through control elements is then translated by OS to actual movement of the frame. It cannot carry out a move it does not have programed in. Sure in Fighter mode there is not much limitation since it is essentially a jet fighter and it moves as such but in Battroid mode things get tricky. Even though it is human shaped it can not move exactly as a human with such a huge amount of various movements even though it may poses enough articulation in its joints. Pilot is limited by the control elements which first need to be sufficient for input of such exotic moves or the OS wont know what he wants from it. Given the control elements are diverse enough and the right input gets to the OS, the OS then needs to have pre-programed in it the exact movement pattern it is supposed to carry out based on pilots input. Bottom line, VF is not an Iron-Man style man sized wearable power armor that works almost exactly like a high tech medieval suit of full plate armor would except with servo motors, battery, etc. Mecha can not be moved at ones free will there are limitations to the maneuvers it can do not only due to its frame and os but also due to control element limitations. Especially not the way it was portrayed here. Not to mention the machine would have most likely suffered some damage from this Saint Vitus Dance that idiot made it do. Blue-boy just stepping on pedals left - right - left what was that? The Konami cheat to get plot armor? Probably. Anyway what are those pedals even suposed to control? The legs? But the pedals only move up and down. The thrusters? Given the VFs are essentially transformable jet fighters they should probably control yaw but then again you cant really use rudder in battroid mode. However they are diferent than what you find in average real aircraft so its anymans guess. It is also reasonable to asume the purpose of controls may vary depending on combat mode but still wtf. I facepalmed so hard I almost punched myself. I guess in ep 2 he will probably be officially crowned the top ace of the universe get his own harem and made the leader of a squadron or whatever BS. I know I shouldn't bitch much about this trope since every other anime in existence is picturing everyday high schoolers as much much much more capable at doing everything than any given profesional, with training and experience. I should try it too maybe if I sneak in to an air base and steal a fighter I could show em who is boss. I mean whats all the years of training these guys got compared to me. I played a lot of Metal Gear Solid and Ace Combat so I must have the skills right? It's essentially the same thing according to anime logic. rofl Unfortunately this wreck is not over yet. Before we know it we already have naked people floating through air and its just the first episode. Get ready, something tells me it will only get worse. Gundam at least usually has the common decency to save these scenes for much later and much more relevant moments though its still bull shit imo. Good lord and the lame phony villains. WTF was that supposed to be? The second coming of the second coming of the second hand poor man bad guys? Anyway I really need to cut it here, suffice to say I found so much wrong with this episode I could write an in detail several page essay about it. IMAO If you want rainbow colored pretty girls, j-pop music, girl bands, sparkles, holograms, asspulls and mockery of actual combat with VFs degraded to pointless ludicrous background air show maneuvers role this is for you. If you instead expect VFs to actually be relevant, good battles and story you best move on to something else. Hell, the actual pilots were not even properly introduced yet. Which usually happens in the first episode of an actual mecha anime since the pilots are kind of important to it. You know since they operate the machines the show is allegedly about. Certainly more relevant than random civilian extras, looking at you Ranka 2.0 and Blue-boy. The J-pop band gets a slip since this is Macross so music is important. In fact its funny but we know pretty much shit about them either besides their collor code despite them being part of such a heavy musically focused anime. I highly doubt this show will change much from this pattern they set up. Frontier definitely had its share of issues (Ranka, Alto) but it also had some good points (not loli Klan, Ozma) etc. to name just few. Thing is, even with all the flaws Frontier is better and much closer to a mecha anime than Delta is at this point. |

It's not my favourite, but i do respect it's trendiness. actually i do not dislike any trend, as long the story makes sense, is interesting, and does not "forget" or "change" some events to make the main character win some of the anime that changed this world were made by people that went against producers to create what they wanted just to make an example no one belived that gundam could be a success, producers just wanted a 20 minute commercial to sell a robot toy, and had many fights with tomino over the series design, also because at first it was a "box office bomb" but what we have here with delta (and seven) is different is like having a dragonball z2 that is a shoujo a dragonball z3 that continues the story as a crude horror and a dragonball z4 that ends the saga as a proxy battle card game anime macross in the 1982 was a sci fi anime, and pretty realistic now we have an army and government that sends to battle underaged girls so they can sing and dance on the head of the enemy mecha, while my army mecha shoot at it but no worries, as long that the girl sings, she can take a direct it or two not to mention that in every new macross series, songs acquire new incredible powers that could change the world, but no one seem remember the powers they had in the previous series is not a different timeline like gundam wing and gundam x, they are in the same continuity as the first macross? yeah sure then in the next macross what i will see? a cluster missile that delivers 100 poke balls to the target? As far as realism, Space Battleship Yamato is the only remotely realistic japanese sci-fi series i've seen to date, but even it uses loads of pseudoscience like dimensional stuff and focusing hawking radiation. I highly doubt that it's been close to that. You gotta know a lot about physics to judge realism ^^; I'm going to add the following shows so you can check it out if you didn't watched them yet because they are quite similar to what you have described as being the more realistic ones: Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team and Seikai no Senki (Banner of the Stars/Crest of the Stars). You won't will be disappointed since you liked the Yamato series. @Tom_Kosken I envy your patience... |

Tom_Kosken said: Even more tears Delta is pure Macross, no matter what you say. I love the main point of contention from everyone hating on it is literally just Walkure. Walkure is a representation of the pop music in Japan, just like how it was represented with Minmay, Sharon Apple, Fire Bomber and Ranka and Sheryl. Let your tastes grow. Macross is moving toward the future while you're stuck in the past, old man. Walkure is there to suppress the Var. If you remember in your blind hate, they have no effect on the Knights of the Wind. During the time the Knights show up, they have one of the coolest VF fighting sequences to date, with jamming, splitting fins, backwards flying, weaving through the Circus. But you of course have to just focus on Walkure, as if the actual Delta Squadron pilots don't exist. We don't know enough about Hayate as for why he's able to pilot both the Work Destroid and the 171 with such rhythm. Fucking chill. |

So, when are people gonna stop pretending this series does things any differently than any other entries in this franchise? Singing idols!? in colorful, flashy outfits!? Using the power of music in battle!?! DIS IST NOT MUH MACROSS ! DIS IST EIN OUTRAGE! Because you know what when the guy with the reputation for being an insane raving lunatic is making far more reasonable, rational, lucid statements than you, you know that somewhere along the line, you fucked up badly Fai said: A_Little_Birdy said: Macros was never about girls singing music that can destroy missiles and fight monsters tho. Its like I am watching another Symphogear. Except they are not doing that. Also no, Macross has always been about power of love and power of music. |

Delta is pure as an anime on moe girls who spend their summer in a naturist camping No matter what you say no one who watched macross in the 1982 would belive this one is part of the franchise @Jonny_Mhl i watched both and actually banner of the stars disappointed me cause it did not had a 4th season :( @Tom_Kosken I could not agree more |

I've watched every single Macross, SDF, DYRL, Plus (both versions), 7, Dynamite 7, Zero, F, F movies. Delta is just following the popular JP music trends (which is an indicator of you know, Macross not being made for Western audiences, so you criticisms literally hold no weight) and it's still using the elements that make Macross, Macross. The three elements that make Macross are a Love Triangle, VFs, and music. We've seen two of the three. I've already explained how the music is just getting amplified, and from what we've seen, we have two VF teams, Delta squad and the Knights of the Wind. Just from Episode 1 alone, we know that the clashes between both factions is gonna be hype. They've shown us jamming and detachable fins a la the YF-27 Lucifer, we've been shown at least two Itano Circuses and weaving in and out of them. We've seen expert piloting from Delta squad (sans Mirage, can't wait to see her live up to her grandparent's name) Maybe if you joined us here in the current year, you'd be excited for more Mirage (who if you don't remember is the granddaughter of Max and Milia) and realize that Walkure's Var suppression was literally only 3 minutes in a 24 minute episode. |

You know what it is, they think it's not idols, they think they're watching a Mahou Shoujo because of that transformation sequence. I've come to the conclusion that, even if they won't necessarily admit it, that one scene is one of the main reasons why they cannot accept Delta as a Macross. Even though Sheryl used holographic costumes in Frontier......... |
