ep7 wish it had more on the collision of cultures amd not on the green/pink singers backstory. the stuff with the kids singing for their dad was great, using walkure and wondering why it didnt work, and using that to look at the influence of humans vs these native cultures would have been a good side story to the broader windermere conflict mikumo still most interesting part of the show ep8 freyja singing is the best song vs war moment the series has had in a while. i love that others see the bond that she songs form with her and hayate. also that they arent hiding the messer vs var thing the actual flow of how it all happens makes no sense though. why were they even worried about the girls singing enough to retreat. a whole bunch of knights running from a song that only affects a virus the knights are immune too? not like messer is a threat by himself on the ground ep9 We're just straight into an entire fleet battle? It just.... but why. Where's the rest of it messer backstory hints make him the most interesting best to mikumo and then the episode is back to being boring, except for hayate being innately receptive and it not just being his fold crystal ep10 how are they not being mobbed at this small festival with everything going on, and is it just me or did they never follow through on the spy thing after her declaration i still find mirage useless in the show freyja hearing their colors again, i love it. and whats her name is nude again of course roid drawing swords to protect the prince, go him those protoculture runes are cool in design axia is a nice song, but the climax of messer didnt hit me until the end holy shit the blood splatter! ep11 i wish we'd started with the funeral and cut to hayate missing it instead of the reverse also what happened to the rest of that battle? it just ended. we didnt even skip back to see nice to get some of the backstory on a personal level for the wind knights reinforcements from lady M. fuck they're saying that name a lot with nothing else oh shit they found a ship all three wondering what they'd do without their passion, and all three blaming themselves i do like the idea he was always holding everyone at arms length and that DIDN'T change, except with the kids love that she moves forward with the walkure song, not axia ep12 mikumo talking about songs of power putting a burden on the body. why is she so damn interesting this idea of humanity being the invaders into their culture could have been done so much better "lives are short" except you should have no reference for that unless youve had intersteller trade for so long that you've come to see yourselves as the abnormal, which still would make no sense as you're so damn nationalistic. stop saying it as if you're the odd ones from your own view. it ruins your worldbuilding! freyja never comments on the wind singer, no cultural connection to what it means feels off its a Fork I FORGOT ABOUT THE MERCATS SO CUTE reminds me of ibo music seeing a landed macross take off again really is something ep13 no OP, so big episode? kind of doesnt feel like we've earnt a climax here so much as it just happening I do really like that our fighters and the knights have history from pre-war eyy technobabble the fuck was that noise, frejya, "oingya"? oh look, not-Fork is being a dick, what a surprise you know this would have been more interesting if we heard about this war happening in the background in the early episodes and then freyja and hayate were pulled into it as reinforcements, rather than it starting with them being there the whole time BORDERLINE HOLY SHIT THE SISTER BEING BLASTED AWAY BY THE WATER AS SHE LOCKED THEM IN THE HOUSE. FUCKING HELL oh mirage you're just so uninteresting the FUCK. the ruins reemerged? alrighty then is it just me or is the whole var spreading thing just a given now that everyone has it, and no care expects a nice song, wind blows through his hair. the banter and follow up is so nice rather than being a spreading of infection, it being a conflict of cultures trying to take over would have been more interesting, and you could kind of make something like that out of walkure, but they wont mikumo is so protective of freyja i really like the instrumental for the princes song cgi water was actually impressive oh hey OP singing while she falls, i love it so much im sick of hearing them talk about the "wind" they really dont like showing the end and follow through on battles huh dead king is cool merged ruins and ship is cooler ep14 This has to be Lady M Alien? Cool! Wait Mikumo? Alien Mikumo? wicked wonder if mikumos hair unfolding when she sings makes it like a rune delta is best when its the freyaj and hayate show okay so freyja survived, but that's a big section they just blocked off, what about everyone else freyja is the only one without a role outside of walkure, it would be more interesting if she went with hayate to go attach the cables instead of mirage random english song SUBTITLES PLEASE. how are you getting the ENGLISH wrong please no with the half naked hug to do the valve, fucking stupid fanservice shit fuck off ep15 the young folk have the passion for war, the old for the honor behind it the scale of this really is quite insane for five idols to fight, galaxy song? eh beautiful song, episode was worth it for that if nothing else ep16 birthday episode is bad timimg mirage please go away wait was the apple juice story meant to be humanizing for the white knight? it wasnt at least she mentioned it being the half way point of her life, thats something at least awwwwwww he made it snow for her, i love it happy rune is happy oh fuck off mirage ep17 sudden boob shot on all the screens, why yes, okay, its a virus and it spreads.... but to do what you didnt say. virus is a delivery system, not an outcome mikumo doesnt remember her past, just needs to sing? shes definitely a clone or something fuck off mirage hayate pulling a higurashi level face then "just a couple of years" YOU DAMN FOOL. The music cutting out for that was brilliant though QUALITY is strong this episode his dad being the one to drop the dimension eater is a bit too contrived ep18 oh hey, freyja meets the big guy, i like that idea finally her life on windermere gets acknowledged again with who they're fighting mikumo singing to activate the ruins is hardly subtle I do still really like this song though so he knows hayates dad as well, not surprised its even affecti.... oh fuck is that AGING the windermerians? dude, that's not good the fuck is happening with hayate and freyja, that's just fucking disturbingly presented. like a synced trace i like this song too, also very pointed as many delta songs are her singing is causing him a type of var? wtf the fuck did mikumo just do! what a visual of the young king being absorbed into the power of her song and eye her solo voice carrying the end of that episode singing Hametsu no Junjou with nothing else was fantastic. Hell yes for that special ed? i like it ep19 the idol twins really should NOT be surprised at being called a product. that's what idols are, cultural influences and var suppression aside dramatic exposition episode? fucking get over yourself dude. and why are you saying all this anyway dudes collection of glasses is stupid history recap too, bleh GET TO THE POINT. in show acknowledgement they have not got to the point does not make it better eyyyyy wanna be the angel. i dislike the idea that was magic music and not cultural absorption though LION! the Var is from the Vajra. Didnt I say that in the first episode? did it seriously not come up until now? enough recap for fucks sake wind singer to star singer? I like that as a progression of the sky DONT YOU FUCKING DARE MAKE... okay good, I thought they were going to make DYRL a special song the idea of music being genetically programmed to be an influence is FUCKING STUPID dont you fucking dare wake up for mirage of all people. oh fuck off what a waste of an episode lots of special eds this series. i dont mind it. sharon is drawn weird though ep20 hayate trying to cheer up freyja even with his own mind on the line. thats nice of him the contrast between the energetic music and some of these moments is great they really turned hayate into just a generic pilot didn't they, how boring mirage youre so pointless i keep forgetting the knight twins exist i mean in one way its not a bad thing to have all the extra knights and XAOS people, its like locked doors in silent hill, but still, waste of screen time when it comes down to it after everything else going on of course id complain about the twins on the one episode they may become slightly relevant poor girl. seeing her anxiety over singing makes me hurt in sympathy OH JUST FUCK OFF MIRAGE YOU HAVE NO PURPOSE AND SERIOUSLY ARE JUST STANDING THERE TO REMIND US YOU EXIST FOR NO REASON oh hayate you fool. her love for singing is no more than her love for you is what she's saying MIRAGE YOU FOOL SHE HAS HIM FOR FUCKS SAKE. YOU'RE EVEN MORE USELESS THAN I GAVE YOU CREDIT FOR she really just interrupted freyja and hayate solving it themselves to try and force a solution for them, for fucks sake what a waste of a moment and a character arc. you'll protect them, fuck off I like this being the song they call out to each other with girl in a tank trope huh. brings back some memories ep21 bit late for a full on walkure backstory isnt it? and in exposition format with people who should already know this to boot bleh so she's just engineered, no... oh she is a clone, huh wow this really is just a frontier rehash of villain ep22 "i'll stop you even if i have to shoot you down" i feel like that's a whole thing of her following on from messer, but I just don't care giant bird feels like a plus reference HA. Youngest in Walkure at only three. I love it. talk with hayate was good, and needed I feel like Mikumo saying "I am myself" followed on by the briefing is like suggesting humanity will break free of the protoculture the same way she breaks free from her creation, but it doesnt work Mikumo with the slaps again i like that hayate gets to go to Kassim in his last moments, it wasnt a shoot down. and freyja ep23 is it his dad that gave her the media player? seriously? mikumo's mystery stick coming back to bite her, embarressed about sharing a first meal with others THATS NOT OKAY. NOPE. DONT SHOW ME THAT FOR A MEAL WHAT THE ABSOLUTE FUCK SHOW. THEY MENTIONED IT EARLIER BUT I DIDN'T THINK THEY'D ACTUALLY SHOW IT. COME ON WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT! Mikumo only hit three people but four got knffocked out. excuse me lol the twin "that was hot" mirage dont you answer for kassims death as if you had a bond there. you had nothing to do with him or anything. you dont matter they really trying to pass this off as "you dont know what happened either" thats shit. watch this be a contrived redemption ep24 Ormonde treaty? Excuse me, are you trying to apply a Spacey treaty to a planet at war with Spacey? useless woman berger is an annoying plot device. and as IF the hacker didnt realize there may be a backdoor into their systems and plan accordingly, when on a planet they also do buisness with. FOR FUCKS SAKE MIRAGE SHUT UP. stop applying your human values onto the system of another planet. fucking useless i like that the king and freyja dont hear the same colors in mikumo's singing his singing is colorless to her, i love it this eyecatch jingle is really unfitting in this part of the show "fall to the wind" okay and if they dont parallel this with hayate's stunt at the start of the show, shame thats not nearly as interesting as an out for him just being caught by the plane. not as disappointed as i could have been, but still there is far too much talking when they're meant to be singing, but i cant tell the voices apart enough to know if they actually cut out their parts there the instrumentals still playing even as they cant sing when makina got shot is so good ep25 (seen when chapter skipping OP) this show really is too reliant on post-credits scenes hayate's father really shouldn't matter any more, or in the first place but really any more more exposition from fuck face. can we not i feel like keith and roid should be more interesting than they are oh for fucks sake stop talkin about your fleeting lives i honestly forgot the bridge crew existed. macross could use a gender swap on the bridge for once hahaha, still has the wrist phone from the start of the show okay seriously, long lost package just now. fuck off oh and here it comes out, its the guy who gave her the media player, fuck off is this dyrl playing? thats a nice line to end it on, or would be except for the post-credits scene. and of course i complain about it this episode notes which is the one time it feels most justified to include one. always the way song of the stars sounds nice dude just nuked his whole fleet, wow ep26 all the norse stuff seems so shallow bit sick of this song this would be much more interesting if the cultures behind walkure were musically supporting them vs the voice of the star singer who is disconnected from it all looks like roid shoved his hair into giant pompoms again with the giant glowing mind controlled singers. frontier pls go away IS THAT DYRL AGAIN FOR FUCKS SAKE giant human hive mind. again. go away frontier the visuals are cool if nothing else fuck off mirage red hair is so hopelessly blind to his own passion, what a doof the whole point of fold waves is that she doesnt have to be there to sing with them, they should have felt her from her hospital bed in defiance of the galaxy network roid was making back to this question of why does she (mikumo) sing. I like that! the blush, lol this is really dragging i feel like they tried to recapture the idea of dance choreography with valkyries here, but it hasnt worked THE SISTER LIVED. SERIOUSLY. FUCK THAT. She doesnt even matter but still fuck it hayate is best when he's his own character. any time he has to be the macross mc, with the love triangle or position as a fighter, he falls flat the war is horribly handled. battles happen and stop on a whim and things get to a huge takeover out of nowhere with no follow through of it seriously, they just dropped the spy thing and the dancing plane thing. all the interesting things stop talking about how short their lives are, they aren't short, everyone else is long for them all of the music is great, and very fitting, perhaps too much but in a good way
