It's their loss if they ignore an entire medium because of preconceptions that are easily disproven.

Thats set even before the 2nd movie.
I was there. On both sides of the argument. For whatever reason.
I'm pretty sure I was just being an asshole to everyone.

We're all very disappointed in you. Perhaps one day you'll transcend your military-fetishim and rise to new heights.Legend of Galactic Heroes: Overture to a New War
Yeah, I think this is just a bit too silly for me. The scale is so insanely out of whack that the numbers are meaningless. And, maybe because I came in not expecting talking heads, it was a bit off putting to open the movie with talking heads opining about the future of the state... followed by even more people talking at each other for a while until we get to the Yang parts.
(And god, the Yang parts with the awkward love triangle were just such a relief after all that stuff.)
I did find the ending of the battle hilariously impressive, both because of the scale and because of how insane this formation would be if it happened in the real world. Kirk would school these guys so hard... and all he would need is a single starship (and a star to guide her by).
(Also, what kind of jackass has a recliner on their starship? Even tea drinking Picard wasn't that self-indulgent! lol).
I'm sure there's a good show in here, but it's unfortunately not what I'm in the mood for at the moment.

Doing dirty things to those girls, no doubt!
You know what's sad? I'm almost at the point where I'm thinking of watching Battleship (again) because there's simply nothing out there.
(It doesn't help that the Star Citizen trailer basically used music from the Battleship OST. lol)
I don't get how a genre that basically built a publishing company (Baen) has a dearth of television and film options. You've got like... Bab5, DS9, BSG (Baltar harem included) Star Trek 2, parts of Star Trek 6 ("Gas, captain. Ionized gas!")... and that silly Wing Commander film that treated space combat as if it submarine combat. lol
Yours doesn't even have a head!

Well, she's the best Eva character at least!
She drives a Renault Alpine Sport A310 and has a beer swilling pet penguin.
She is amazing!
Macross FB7
I was kind of ready for that, but it was ultimately a letdown. The trailers and synopsis let you think that there will be some kind of reward, but there really isn't. It's just a glorified recap movie for Macross 7, from the Frontier's cast POV. Minus Alto, who's hilariously enough absent throughout the thing even though freaking Canaria gets to show up and chill with the gang.
The "plot" is that
For those wondering, there isn't a lot of new footage, maybe 15-20 minutes out of 93, and it's of course just for the Frontier cast.
Good news he's that it's definitely a nice way to get a refresh on M7 without suffering through the 49 episodes. It was really nice to listen to all these songs again.
Bad news is that I didn't really like the girls' version of FB songs at the end. Also, there's a brand new song for Fire Bomber, which is rather nice, but you only here two minutes of it at the very, very end of the credits, illustrated by Dynamite 7 shots. What a fucking waste.

The "plot" is that
Gabil comes to Frontier and gives Ozma and Sheryl (both Fire Bomber fans) video tapes showing "what really happened to the seventh Macross fleet", which is just what we saw in M7, but isn't known by a lot of people. His goal was, I suppose, to help broaden the FB love, and with it Anima Spiritia.
It ends with a giant concert in Frontier where the girls sing a medley of various FB songs, including Totsugeki Love Heart, Try Again and Dynamite 7. And we're done. The Fire Valkyrie and Mylene's unit from M7 that we got a peek in the trailers are only used in the concert, by Sheryl and Ranka...

In the Wing Commander movie, the dude tells them to be quiet because their cheering might alert the Kilrathi. Yes, sound in space!
Speaking of which, maybe I should go old school and watch Master and Commander again. Seriously... where are the options.
Best character is best, etc.

Well even after they used that exposition in the first episode they still managed to have quite a bit more to unload here - and really, I'm fine by that. It's just something I've grown to expect from any work that has a variety of things that need to be explained to the audience. From the New World episode 4 did the same thing, it just dropped it a few episodes in rather than having it appear right at the start. Sure, you can be a lot more subtle and just fill the show with dialogue and scenes that the audience will have difficulty understanding until they can put all the pieces together, like in Infinite Ryvius or The Wire, but people don't like being confused or having to do any hard work so I can't really blame them for having so many info dumps.
Still, I vastly preferred this episode to the first one because it felt like a much more interesting exploration of the characters and the world they inhabit as opposed to some very standard "chase the bad guy" stuff. The reason they opened the show like they did was clearly to hook the audience in with some fairly simple stuff before moving onto something more interesting. I hope that they can continue in that fashion.

What's your opinion of how the show presents Akane.
So I guess this is the Vividred Operation PV, huh.

As something from the Strike Witches team, it might be a little NSFW in places, I dunno.

You haven't seen movie 9?
You should, it's amazing, people keep on praising the sixth one but movie 9 is equally as good.
Of, course, Narag, you should first watch that part in the show since the movie isn't actually canon.
I guess it is.
I can't imagine the kind of person who gladly puts his name in front of this work.
Lots of people would proudly put their name on any professionally produced work.
#Team Rei for best girl.
Edit - Anyone able to list the VAs for the 5 girls?
Edit 2 - Actually just need the VA for best girl Rei
Ayane Sakura - Isshiki Akane
Rie Murakawa - Futaba Aoi
Yuka Ōtsubo - Saegusa Wakaba
Aya Uchida - Himawari Shinomiya

It's like he's flying.
David Production really outdid themselves this week. I can't decide if this scene is better or worse than the first-person running scene from episode one. I imagine that one will forever remain ingrained in my heart because of the exceptional cinematography.

At least now we have her holographic squid thing in the show as well. They look like they fit each other, so all the scenes in her apartment look pretty consistent! Lol.
The kind of person who is actually well known for this:
Oh, I missed that this was from the Strike Witches team.
I guess that explains everything.
it just feels a bit inconsistent
like a lot of anime, some artistic integrity is sacrificed in favor of making something cute
the annoying jellyfish hologram is another one that feels out of place
Like i said it feels off for me
her apartment is believably futuristic in every other aspect
At least they moved on from bloomers to hot pants!
Well the hologram thing is the user choice, its just happen she have a thing to cute penis lookalike
They just appreciate Araki's great sense of psychic.

Oh, I understand that he's actually flying, it's just the way they present it is, er, less than desirable.
It's his terrifying presence casting a pall over them as he flies.
