I hope they make the music and OST aspect of the show look good.

Been awhile since I've seen Macross Frontier but I have good hopes for this show.

inb4 there will be love triangle again, like always on a Macross series, then when a couple is decided one of them will disappear for unknown reason, Macross is always a massive cock block when it comes to romance

Yeah...about that:

"Kawamori pointed out that the delta symbol in the logo is made of triangular symbols, to symbolize the three main thematic elements of Macross: music, a love triangle, and transforming fighter planes. However, he noted that the two symbols are split, and explained that this is indicative that the three elements will not come together as expected in the new story."

If I'm being one hundred percent perfectly honest the trailer and key visual doesn't inspire much confidence. The CGI looks like it could actually be a downgrade from Frontier and I'm not so sure the whole male and female Valkyrie pilot/possible idol team doesn't come across as well....potentially really really dumb. Were it not for the Regults and Valkyrie's I could have just as easily sworn I was watching the trailer for another new Aquarion the way that it looked.

I'm really excited about this. There's something about the Macross franchise I love even when it's frustrating (the love triangles). Probably because it unites two things I love (music and mecha). Idol units, huh? That will be something.

I'm happy for more Macross. I wish there was only one or two singers though. I'm not a fan of big idol groups.

Well, always nice to see more macross, I'm a big fan, but frankly, I don't have high hopes, idk. Well, nothing really to judge on but the covers aren't very encouraging. I highly doubt they will ever get close to original macross/dyrl level again, but maybe we can get something on the level of F, hopefully.

I have been watching Macross Frontier, as far as visuals go the CGI looks to be about on par which is fine but the character detail/movements seem much improved (to be honest they are really bad in Frontier). I will watch.

Very interesting, will be Macross Δ at least on the level of Macross F?
I am a little worried about plot, i think show will not turned into a even music video, at the expense of the plot.

1st cover makes this look likes is going to be a shoujo anime with reverse harem (it needed 1 girl there to make it look like isn't going to be a shounen ai/yaoi)
I hope Freyja isn't going to be a Ranka 2.0, is bad enough she is a loli (I have my reasons)
This might be interesting (also a complete mess) if each pilot and singer would be involved into a love triangle .
I will watch this for OST since I've gave up a long time ago on watching Macross for the story .

i know there were but they never got equal spotlight with the girls.
i especially like the ponytail guy, tho. i've only read the shoujo manga adaptation so idk how shitty he actuall is

you're speaking if it's a bad thing? it looks like the typical mecha male cast. like 00 or valvrave.

Two idol bands? CG looks really bad and poor animated but forget that, I just want them to sing while fighting and more Kawamori on good weed.

Splitting the cast into male/female sections is used pretty often.

I meant from a story perspective, it seems like two human factions fighting each other with the Zentradi in the middle.

The CGi is actually really bad... I hope the story is better and everything.

I tried to watch Macross F but I didn't like it, so I dropped it. The characters are different in this new macross

Looks like huge step down from Macross Frontier. Generic looking character designs.The CGI looks awful, and the fantasy castle looks out of place in the Macross Universe and the idols keep getting younger and younger. At this pace Macross 2030 will have toddlers in nappies as protagonists

I want to hear Minori's voice. This is of the upmost importance as it will tell me if I'll like the series or not.

The character design is decent, Wion is adorable better than Ranka.

Well, the more I look at the character design, the worse it looks. "Male" characters look like fujoshi bait. Sadly females are not that much better. Don't tell me they want to see if it's possible to do worse than M7.

I like Macross 7, it has the best music in the franchise, I just didn't care for all the sound shit in the variable fighters.

The VFs look pretty decent but I wanted to see them in Battroid mode though.

Other than that I'm hoping that the action and music is at least really good, I don't really like how the CG looked although this is just a glimpse so hopefully it turns out better than what was shown.

It is bad. They don't look attractive, they look like fags that fuel fujoshi's sick imagination. It was bad in 00, it's even worse in Macross.

It looks fine. They look great. Don't watch it if you hate the designs.
