Ep2:

Is there a purpose to recap the happennings to Macross?
Does Macross 7 and other Macross anime do that too?
If not maybe it has to do with the Frontier storyline?

I like the new Valkyrie in the Armored Pack.
The Ex-Gear integrates with the cockpit, feels like the pilot wear the pilot seat and controls.

Ok that silver/white/pale blond hair person should be another race, saw a line going down the side of his face.
His fashion is pretty off too.

Thinking about songs again.
This time how will songs help out in the war?
The old Macross way?
Couldn't be the 7 way.

The Valkyrie in mid-air catches the voice of Ranka screaming.
Amidst the sound of Alto's shooting some more.

Ok, so the "Ranka, here they come" is kind of a revenge meaning?
It payback time?
Mysterious past of Ranka and maybe Ozma.

Skull Squadron, Valkyrie design.
Reminiscent of the old Macross.

Woah, nice pilot suit.
Nice way to show that function.

Self-mending colony.
Too bad Heliopolis didn't have that.

Thinking again, is it that there are many Macross fleets so the Valkyrie development has many branches?
Like specific Valkyrie models found in specific fleets?

Ok second reaction to Ranka's voice.
That vessel in the flashback, could it be a science vessal or something?
Could Ranka be a science experiment picked up by Ozma?

Knife!

Ok I see the participation of song in the war.
Should be old style, don't even need to be singing.
Now, how about Sheryl.

Vajra?
Jun Fukuyama as a kid, something different.

Ok one quarter Zentran.
Her "living" hair reminds me of Chiyo.

Yup, its horrible witnessing a human crushed to a pool of blood only.

The enemy has got past records?

Does colored hair means Zetran genes?

I find that Gattai sometimes misses some lines.
And a bit tiny bit of mis-sub.

Miss Macross.

Don't tell me the enemy infects humans and transform them or something.
That way of joining the military seems familiar.
To me the SMS is specially formed to deal with aliens.

Cool, drinks machines go looking for customers.
The idol and the fan.

She seeks him to enhance her future concerts?

The new ED sounds like a Maaya Sakamoto type song.

The JP wiki says theres a spinoff manga titled "Super Spatial Song Maiden Ranka"(超次空歌巫女ランカ) by Kuroiwa Yoshihiro serialized in CompAce April issue.

Interesting title.
Goes update wiki

Found this in the EN wiki's talk:
The enemy alien bio mechas, which are called "Vajra"(バジュラ) in the official site, have several spiral markings like those that appeared in Macross Zero.

Another connection to Macross Zero, besides the Nome family name?
Intergalactic love story..
What if Sheryl goes bad against Ranka because of love?
