This looks like it should be a game, not a TV series. Everything about this PV screams "generic anime," and the CG doesn't mesh with the 2D animation. The CG actually looks inferior to the CG of the 20 year old Macross Plus.
I would rather see an anime version of Macross the First a la Yamato 2199 (as long as they can get it right). |

I have to say, this captures the trends of today quite nicely. Plus points for having a squad of idol girls piloting as well!
Man, now I wish Mari Okada was on THIS project instead. She probably has some crazy relationships all mapped out ala Aquarion Evol and/or use some leftover plot elements she wasn't able to use in AKB0048. |

those CG models look atrocious WTF. it looks like a major step down for Macross Frontier in terms of CG integration with 2-D elements, it makes no sense

Are you referring to Frontier TV or Movie Frontier? Of course it'd look inferior to the movies as those had a movie budget. TV Frontier's CG was pretty mediocre though. They didn't nail it until the movies and this is already looking better than the original Frontier's CGI. |

Frontier TV. The CG in the teasers looks worse then Macross Zero!
Only somewhat hyperbole. |

Not nearly enough love for Macross 7 here.
Red at ~0:55 -- Zolan? Don't think we've seen those since Dynamite 7 and the space-whaling. If this is Macross 7 strikes back, I'll probably love it. Hard to say at this point, no use deciding until we get a whole episode or two. |

I was looking forward to this announcement so much, but just about everything about it disappointed me, especially the main staff. Yasuda completely botched Arata the Legend, and I find Nemoto a mediocre writer who really falters when he's working on original works instead of adaptations. And the fact that Kawamori's not getting his usual "supervising director" credit gives me the distinct impression that this will be another Aquarion Logos, or worse.
At least the character animation looks nice, even if the CG doesn't. And no word on who's doing the music?
I was fervently hoping she'd be this show's head writer, but I lost hope once they announced she'd be working on Gundam IBO and Kiznaiver. |

They better have a really good composer if they're not gonna bring back Yoko Kanno, Aquarion Logos OST is so generic and dull.

I'm not sure If I am watching this. The Idol designs are very generic, and the guys too.
The little love for Macross 7 is because pretty kitschy in its own, That's why I loved it. (And at least is better than the non-canon Macross II.) |

I'm really excited about this and I can't wait for the premier.
Thank you for mentioning previous idol groups like the Milky Dolls from the VF-X game - some responses I've read act like idol groups are a forbidden thing that's never been done before. But what I seem to take away from the key visual is that the idol group will be the pilots for the VF-31 while the wind dudes will be the pilots for the Sv-262 so they could be enemies and if that's the case than I think that's an interesting approach? (could it be reminiscent of the Zentradi & Meltlandi conflict from DYRL? eh?) obviously just a theory for now. |

I predict all 5 bad boys will be romantically linked to all 5 good girls by series end. Which is predictable, but hasn't been done in Macross yet. Also, I notice quite a few characters have 'elf ears', these are 'Zolans' from 7 right? another humanoid Protoculture derived race? |

only if they make the pretty boys sing too, that would be interesting.

I like Frontier for the movies, characters, and music. Nothing more or less with that statement. The rest of the series is crap and well, the movies to me are also what saved it. I even watched that crappy Macross 7 crossover movie which was a clipshow of all of 7. Very little of it was new material but at least the footage was HD.

I rewatched Frontier just last year, and yeah, the CG here looks like its gone backwards in budget and modeling. That's really disappointing and I can only hope that it's just early teaser stuff and the show proper isn't airing until Spring, so maybe they'll get more complex and detailed? I'm gonna be very afraid if this is a Winter series. Besides that, Macross Frontier is just such an amazing series (for its first seven episodes, the middle section of the anime sags tremendously) that Delta is going to have to live up to what came before, and shouldn't just be push-through non-thinking material like Logos, or as light as AKB0048. Then there's the music. It's gonna be hard to top what Sheryl did as far as teen idol space pop is concerned, and this looks like it's gonna be very teen idol poppy. If it's not Yoko Kanno, then this Macross might suck a big one. Last edited by walw6pK4Alo on Thu Oct 29, 2015 3:21 pm; edited 2 times in total |

You committed no hyperbole Mr Adventure. Macross Zero has better CG than this trailer but it was also an A-level OVA. So does Macross Dynamite 7. The TV version of Frontier (the canon one?) became a mess after the first act from a writing standpoint but the visuals were again some of the best that year had to offer too. I also agree that Delta looks like an add for a bad (PS3) VN game.
Edit: I just learned that Macross The Ride (it sounds like an equally awful remake of 7 Trash) exists and we could have gotten more Astro Plan instead so there is still room to sink deeper... Last edited by residentgrigo on Thu Oct 29, 2015 3:34 pm; edited 2 times in total |
