Even though overall id say it was the less interesting of Ikuhara shows to me, sure thats like complaining about getting a single scoop of strawberry ice-cream instead of a double scoop. It was still ice cream so shut up and enjoy it yknow.
P.S I really wish there wasnt a group called Triple H in this. All I could think of was Motorhead
Just finish Clannad The Movie and will need to let it sink in a bit before I post. This is now the end of this franchise which mean....I can go back watching my backlogged show which I put on hold.
That's true of course, but i might accidentally forgot to spoiler tag some detail, so i'd rather talk about it in Danganronpa OT. Don't want to accidentally spoil it to those who haven't play it yet.
So this is my first Macross and I love it. I don't like J-Pop or indeed much pop in general but it works for reasons here that I struggle to put into words. The constant sprinkling of actual dogfighting terms, references to actual aircraft (Immelmann, Draken, etc) but most of all the sheer joy of flying suffuses the series and as someone who grew up desperately wanting to be a pilot I can relate.
A key aspect for me is that the ridiculous core of the show, magic space pop music saves you from bad tunes as do giant robots, is saved by what is clearly a pretty damn well thought through universe. The central plan for the bad team here is to
revive a network of ancient ruins that allow a singer to
control entire sectors of space at once makes sense within the Macross universe. I really enjoy 'precursor' stories as it appeals to both my love of sci-fi and history at the same time but they're very easy to mess up by making the precursor civilisation a utopia. For all the problems in Mass Effect 3 the decision to reveal that the Protheans were
an aggressive, expansionist galactic empire not the utopian wise men of Liara's fantasy
was a beautiful reveal especially the squad chatter on Thessia (of course as DLC you missed all of this excellent writing unless you forked out twice, so shitty Bioware).
I think I may have to watch more of this delightful nonsense, any pointers as to which other Macross series to watch?

Macross Frontier is probably the most similar to Delta. The original Super Dimension Fortress Macross is still the best when it comes to the series. Macross 7 is delightedly absurd, but probably something I'd recommend watching after some other series. And there is Macross Plus, an OVA series mostly noted for the quality of its animation. Continuity doesn't really matter much and you can watch them in any order.
I'd watch SDF Macross and then the Do You Remember Love film.
Holy crap it was weird when the music from the game kicked in for the first time. It's like the exact same audio from the PSP/Vita version so it sounds real out of place. The other times game music was used it sounded fine though. What was up with that?
Good to see Boxer was always a massive cunt. Guess that won't change.
Man, another good episode, this time as he tries to
leave the city. He decides to take her along so she can be recharged and work with him, but man, that ending with the attack robot!
Dude has no luck whatsoever.... The backdrop of the story is so sad, but the character interaction between these two is great... Really liking this show. It's unfortunate, there is only 1 episode left and then the movie...
I always imagined the protagonist to have an incredibly shabby appearance while playing the VN. At least the writing gave me that impression. The anime version looks a lot more neat, hard to say he is from a post apocalyptic period.
Not big into Key, but I'm definitely interested in seeing some later stuff from Dezaki. His anime of the Tale of Genji is the only one of his later works I've seen. It wasn't great, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Oh god, this episode. This is the kind of campy shenanigans that I missed after the two previous episodes of semi-serious terrorist plots. The criminals this episode are literally otakus mad about a dubbing choice, using bombs that activate when it detects any voice that isn't their favorite idol. And then there's Unit 9, which is so dysfunctionally independent, moreso with Asami at their head.
And then, to top it all off, her plan ends up using Funasaka singing his favorite super-robot song to detonate most of the bombs beforehand, and them rushing in with voice modifications so her entire team sounds like that idol.
