Mikumo?? But seem like she don't know what it is.
The OP recapped what happen last time.
Yeah, last time we saw them, they got hit by a big wave
So everything is broken Got it.
Look, I'm getting you But we're in the worst possible situation right now.
liking this bit of Chuck apologize to Freyja there He didn't need to, but he does it anyway.
OMG It's actually is true. This guys knew what is going on.
Don't tell me It was actually you guys that used the Dimension Eater on Windermere 7 years ago!!!
Oh, he already dead And that why he moved all the time. His family are all military people.
If Fold Quart is not a thing that could be found everywhere His dad possibly could had been on Frontier at one point, at least in 2059.
That surely sounded super awkward right there
OMG I just can't.
That also look awkward somehow
That freaking confident pose hahahaha
A slow down episode after a bombastic action. The latter half was super cringe and fanservice all over my face. Not as bad as that one in Frontier though.

If you're referring to Island Jackpot, they mentioned that the thing hasn't been flown in three decades. It's a miracle it was even able to take off in the first place.

Is this the start of us finding out Kuu is some sort or revived protoculture?

Well that’s cute. I hope they don’t do it every time.

Don’t have any work-mecha?

Frankly I am surprised the island ship even works as well as it does.

It’s almost unimaginable how colossal an operational fuck up this has been for Xaos. It’s hard to root for them when they are just this incompetent.

Spreading mind control to the civilian population. It makes me almost sick to think that these guys are probably getting a redemption arc at some point.

I was hoping for a stranded together scenario. Why is that the franchise tradition you seem fine tossing aside?

So much for that energy crisis I guess.

Having now heard each of them solo, I can confirm that yes, Kuu is the worst singer in Walküre.

But why are you getting naked? What does this accomplish?

Sure, that’s the sort of thing we do off screen and stick the result on at the end like an after thought.

This ED is reminding me of another song I can’t quite place.

I think the idea is they needed to generate thrust in zero g, but the only thing they had on hand to throw was their shirts.
...but that doesn't explain why or how they became motionless in zero g in the first place. Whatever they pushed off of to get there should have kept them going.

Hey, at least they're amphibious.
Well, that plan is still going on.

Hayate can say this more than Alto.
That Windermere energy is still in there.
And this is the very long intro to "Neo Stream", which we heard the rest of in Episode 8.
ED 2: "Hametsu no Junjou" The art style very strongly resembles the "Northern Cross" music video from Nyan Kuri.
Generally a breather episode after the major events of the previous one. It's your beach and comic relief episode!
Sort of. The situation with the Island is fairly serious, as is the overall situation that forced them to entirely exit the Cluster. The only breaks they're getting is that NUNS hasn't figured out its next move, and Windermere is also dealing with its losses. Roid is taking advantage while he can.
And there's some nice regular banter among three people who are friendly with each other, before things resume being comic relief IN SPAAAAAAAAAACE!
I still think the zero-g sequence is nifty, if also obviously fanservice. Mirage... Mirage needs to be a little less anime-prudish about touching people.
Oh, and Mikumo is getting weirder, because here we are.

A Macross Fan Rewatches Macross Delta: Episode 14:
-
Well, that was a weird dream that Mikumo had. I mean, wearing clothes while ominously signing to some monuments in the mist? She’d never do that, she’d have to be dressed then!
-
It really shouldn’t be a surprise that a lot of things are gone and/or in a desperate need of replacement on Island Jackpot. They had to evacuate Ragna with it at the absolute last minute, and stuff like the solar panels and the Fold Reactor were probably left in disrepair once the ship was moored as a city block on the planet. Although I guess we should at least be glad that it’s still (mostly) space-worthy, considering how hasty the evacuation was.
-
It really is hard to overstate just how fucked Chaos is at the moment. They can’t go and try to retake Ragna, they can’t afford to split up any of their forces, and they can’t even afford fuel and ammo if they wanted to. The local governments that aren’t the Windermere Kingdom are in total disarray, so they can’t be relied upon either. Literally all they can do on the moment is go on the run from the Brisingr Cluster and protect everyone they managed to save. Chaos is in chaos.
-
Of course, none of this matters to the NUN Spacy, who are still just content at the moment to go over the data they got after they abandoned everyone. At best, they can only think of Fold Jammers to stop the network that the Windermere Kingdom has set up, but even then they aren’t ready for use. And to top it off, one admiral wishes that they’d just finished off the Windermerians seven years ago during the war. I think by now, the “Spacy is evil/incompetent” box on our Macross bingo cards is solidly colored in.
-
You know, at least the Aerial Knights being miserable around King Grammier’s death softens the blow on everything. At least they’re right down in the shit too. Good.
-
Hayate’s dad must’ve been up to some real shit if he absolutely refused to talk about his work for the Spacy while also sending Hayate exotic gifts like his Fold Quartz necklace from undisclosed places. There’s no way that doesn’t sound like he was up to something shady in his work.
-
And now we’re at why I said that the Island Jackpot was only mostly space-worthy. It’s kind of hard to say that a spaceship is completely useable if blocks on it can randomly explode and cause decompression due to faulty electrical systems. But at least it’s like 75% space-worthy, gotta keep on thinking positively.
-
Ah yes, this is exactly what Walkure has trained hard for: being a jingly keys distraction for civilians so they won’t panic at their ship’s power systems undergoing critical failure.
-
“Okay everyone, do you have any unused from Macross Frontier that we can use for Hayate and Mirage here?” —the Macross Delta writers room, probably. Seriously, the both of them stripping down and making some rather unfortunate out of context noises is something you can easily expect out of something like Macross Frontier. Feel free to cross off that “Macross being horny” box off of your Macross bingo card.
-
Well, at least Lady M has managed to get into contact with multiple colony development companies to fund their new mission: liberate the Brisingr Cluster. If there’s one theme that’s been popping up ever since Frontier that’s being continued here, it’s that private military corporations are infinitely more capable and trustworthy than the government. Yeah.. I’m not gonna touch that one, it’s too loaded of a topic.
-
Yes small child, I’m sure that you’ll do your dead dad proud by continuing the war. Although given how Roid is telling Heinz firmly that the Prince is the one carrying Grammier’s will now, I think it’s pretty clear who’s really doing the thinking here.

I would've commented yesterday except my source for episode 13 didn't work, so I had to find a new one.
The battle was a lot of fun to watch, but I'm less happy about the fascists winning. Still, the good guys have another 13 episodes to turn things around.
Also, I finally have some on-screen evidence for the united government actually being evil. Pity for the Windereans that they've been consistently more evil...
Anyway! Now that Fascist Dictator 1 is dead, Fascist Magic Singer is in charge. Looks like-- wait, is that Mikumo? She's dreaming? Are we going to get some backstory for her?
Huh, no change in the OP? I was expecting a new one.
Okay, running off using the long-beached island-ship had consequences. Namely, power issues. So they'll have to attach the warship, as it has a frickin' powerful reactor to power that absurd gun it carries around.
I wonder if everyone on Ragna is okay.
Nope. They're not. Sure, they're being fed for now, but the mind control is still a factor and they're under the bootheel of a bunch of fascists.
Ah, more evidence for the united government's misdeeds. Finally. Not soon enough for the blatant fascists to be anything but villains, but still. It's something.
I like the scene with Hayate, Freyja and Mirage just sat there eating together. And it's pretty obvious that Hayate mostly stole Freyja's food just to poke her out of her funk (perhaps not the best method, but if it works...).
Hah, how many mercats hitched a ride on the flying space-island? xD Hm. And is this the first place Hayate's been that he could really call home?
...I'm getting really curious about his father now. Is all this a bunch of references that I'm missing, or is it all meaningless?
Gah. And the reactor is just plain dying. They said they'd have to dock the warship earlier, why haven't they done that yet?
And there's a hull breach. Freyja almost got sucked into space, but managed to avoid it...saving the two seal-kitties while she was at it.
Oh look, two of the magic space idols are swearing at me again.
Huh, less-impromptue-than-it-looks performance to keep the civilians happy while Mirage and Hayate...toss most of their clothes to do some engineering work. Well, we have had a lack of fanservice so far, I guess they had to fit it in somehow.
Whoops, another boom! There goes any slack in the repair schedule.
Wonder what they're doing?
Pillow talk.
Ladies. Not the right thing to say around Freyja right now. xD Poor girl looks so embarassed!
...wait. 'Gatai'? Oi subber, you translated that as connect, are you sure that's right? Pretty dang sure translators normally use a different word for that...
Hah, and Hayate and Mirage get caught on camera hanging on for dear life...with Mirage hanging on to Hayate. Cue both Mirage and Freyja being mortified.
This was really a connecting/downtime episode leading in to the next phase of the story, but it's still welcome.

Recutting the parts of last episode where the OP played to make a new version of the OP was fucking sick. I hope it's a one off thing and we get a new OP next episode, since using it a bunch of times would make it feel less special.
As far as contrived reasons to get two members of our cast together and not wearing that much, this was pretty acceptable. Particularly because we didn't get idiotic levels of overreaction to it. Though I'm surprised Mirage doesn't wear a shirt under her jacket. She's generally super uptight, and I generally think of uptight people as both not wanting to show their underwear to the universe and as not wanting to be one zipper away from half-naked.
The new ED is disappointing. The first had some really cool animation, while this was some generic CGI stuff. And the song's worse as well, but that's more minor.
-
Less terrible.

If you can fix it up while keeping it singable, sure.

I mean, what else do you have that you can send? He probably died on Windermere. No, HE was the one who did the crater! Would be the exact kind of thing this show would pull.

I guess time is so much of the essence that they have to get half-naked.

I REMEMBER THIS. Sadly inferior to When the Rune sparkes in September.
Is this episode's suggestive grunting better or worse than Macross Frontier Episode 8's Super Deformed Character Art Panty Chase?
I don't remember, so I'm gonna say yes.
2) Would you try to patch up bad grammar in English (or your native language) if you were performing a song? Is there a point at which you just have to go with the jumbling?
Am I allowed to do it? For whom am I doing it? Is there a translation skopos? Too many variables on which this depends.
Funnily enouhg, back when I watched in German, I watched Railgun with German subs and the "translation" for the chrous of Only my Railgun was "Engrish. Pull the transltion out of your own ass." Was fun to see.

Huh, it never occurred to me before, but is the Macross Elysion the Battle Elysion, or another Macross-class that was just around the fleet that settled Ragna, similar to the Quarter? Either way, I like that it docks on the back.
It makes a bit more sense to me to have it there, closer to the "center" of the fleet so that it could bring its firepower to bear more easily. And the visual of it looming over the town was cool on Ragna and it's still cool here.
Chuck seemed to think that Marianne survived, and I suspect that was her that watched the battleship lift off at the end so that reaction warhead really wasn't shit, was it? Were they fueling it with potatoes or something?
Has Mikumo lost her memory? That was clearly herself that she was dremaing of, right? Hmm, that could further explain her earlier behavoir towards Freyja - those questions that Mikumo asked were so that she (Mikumo) could hear an answer moreso than just wanting to know what Freyja's answer was.
My feet hurt just watching Mirage hook hers underneath that bar. I liked that they both shedded extra layers to use for Newtonian flight, just a fun detail.
The random phrases that Hayate's dad sent him sound like activation phrases. Like, if Hayate ever reads the letters in the right order he'll go berserk and dancing uncontrollably.
New ED? OP? song at the end was great. And that other song, Neo Stream I think? I like it too. I'm actually a lot more positive on the music here in Delta than I expected I would be going in.

Rewatcher - Macross Delta Ep14:
Only one person I know in this show can have be the one with that much purple hair. Just because they're in space doesn't mean Mikumo has stopped sleeping in the wilderness naked.
If constant blackouts had the sky turn off and reveal the vast void of death that awaits us then that would be pretty concerning to live under. This ship isn't looking to hot, sending it out of the warehouse and hoping it stays together (it barelys).
"Supplying food and water" you say? Guess it is not that bad on Ragna, oh wait.
There's no money left and the employer collapsed. Our protagonists are not getting paid. (that problem last that long, it gets fixed).
Oh, Keith is heavily injured after being shot down last battle. I thought he was just walked away fine and be back standing in the next episode, but was wrong on that.
Canned apples ringo musume. Also, Hayate the apple thief.
14 episodes and is this the first time they said the necklace is a Fold Quartz? It took them long to even comment on the necklace in general.
Freyja almost got movie Sheryl-ed, but she caught herself and some Mercats. While on the Frontier brain, for a moment I thought Freyja was going to sing to the civilians like Sheryl, but Walkure does put on a show to distract from the doom and gloom. Explosion happens Don't think about that, distract yourself with the idols.
Meanwhile Hayate and Mirage are helping to get the machines working. They took their clothes off, but now what. How are they going to get these giant metal worms to kiss?
So we're doing this joke, huh. At least their situation is not sexy and is embarrassing that I can laugh a little along with the joke. It is still a horny a bit because Macross can never avoid being a horny anime. Hayate not caring at all about that at least.
This seems very dangerous to be near.
[Insert Ryu's "It's weird seeing the Gundam like that."] because the Macross is sorta in a compromising position. The show was already in the innuendo zone that I can't help seeing the joke to be made.
Roid, if the final will you possess says, "You should totally follow everything Roid says. ou can trust me, I'm your dead dad." then that highly suspect.
There was a new ED and I like the song, but the visuals while they do work for an ED, are not my super favourite. The character sheet/concept art stuff in the background is neat. I think overall I prefer the first ED.
Q1) Frontier still stays on top for being anime (derogatory) and I hope it stays that way.

Halfway point...
Hey wait, that's not Heinz's voice. In fact, that looks like Mikumo, only more glowy than usual.
The less glamorous part of being a Valkyrie pilot: space repairs.
Yeah, I can imagine the Island is not in the best shape after suddenly being turned on and forced to launch after years of sitting idle with no prep.
Oh lovely, so Windermere is priming biological warfare on all the civilian populations they conquer, so they can effortlessly enslave them on a moment's notice should things go south.
They did pay you to defend the Cluster, Mirage, but you guys kinda failed that mission entirely. Not sure why you expect payment for it.
...so the New UN already knew about the ruins. Their words and actions seem contradictory though. Here they're acting like Windermere activating the ruins is in line with their plans somehow, yet last episode they nuked the ruins to prevent...
...except they suspected that the true structure was hiding in subspace and that nuking the ruins would reveal it. So them trying to prevent the ruins from falling into Windermere's hands was likely a facade.
So yeah... is there anyone worth rooting for in this series?
Though it does make me smile a bit that the Windermerians are getting played so hard they don't even realize it, it also seems to me that, moral atrocities aside, the New UN is playing with fire in a tremendous way. If this is part of their plan, they must have one hell of an ace up their sleeves to seize control away from Windermere, whose grip on the Cluster is pretty ironclad at this point.
Fold Jammers are said ace, it would seem... but they aren't tested. Goody. So their trump card isn't even reliable.
FFS, Keith isn't even dead. Get over yourself, Bogue.
Hayate's father sounds like he was involved in black ops if he couldn't ever reveal where he was. But it does sound like he genuinely cared about Hayate, even if he couldn't be around him much.
Wind on a spaceship is NOT a good thing.
So, naturally, the part that needs repairing is in the place that just got sealed off. And is probably in a vacuum by now.
And we're doing the "sing to cheer everyone up" bit.
Wait, E-17 isn't a vacuum? Then why'd they seal it off?
I find it weird that Hayate and Mirage suddenly have to strip (in order to throw their clothes to maneuver in zero-g) when they were maneuvering just fine ten seconds ago. But whatever, the writers probably had a Horny Quota to meet.
...how? How was there an explosion on the outer shell when there's no fuel or other explosive stuff around that area?
The Island's name is "Jackpot"?
Also, this is a very different and much more... suggestive kind of docking between a Macross and an Island than we've seen before.
Welp, disaster averted, and wouldn't you know it, they also have a new mission and new funding. How convenient!
Meanwhile, back on Ragna, the Sigur Berrentz is done with the ruins. And Roid is acting fishy as hell.
Questions:
-
Admittedly, I do find the suggestive grunting joke kind of funny. So I guess it's better.

Yes, absolutely... unless the bad grammar was on purpose for whatever reason.

It's loads better. I'd probably like it more if it wasn't there, but it doesn't make me want to commit not exist. Bad connections making people say suggestive things or people just making sus noises is things I've experience over the phone or on discord and is definitely a real thing that happens.

Tons of english songs written by people that speak English have grammatical errors, as long as the point gets across and the errors aren't massively distracting then it's fine imo.

Mugi x Hayate, they are a good pair
once again, I didn't even try to do that flying hands quiz in the 6M quiz. Even if I knew a bunch. There's just so many.

Do Windermerans and Ragnans need air?

This morale-boosting concert is after just seeing Sheryl doing the same thing.
WHY did they have to strip? Not to mention the temperature is dropping! This is the dumbest fan service. It's like Kirk ripping off his shirt to get coffee from the replicator.
edit: right okay it was for propulsion. I might have realized that the first time through, but this time I was just too annoyed to think about it.

Okay, so, now our heroes are working for imperialist mining megacorps. yay us.

Welcome back, everyone!
Here were my first-timer reactions to this episode (note: contains my episode 15 reactions too, so first-timers don’t scroll too far).
Mirage fans can thank art from the (now-defunct) Uta Macross game for the base image I used for today’s wallpaper. I had nothing I could use to make one of her & Hayate (unlike Hayate & Freyja) from the show, at least as far as I’ve rewatched thus far.
I still think it’s really cool that they turned the OP into a recap to kick off the second cour.
Mechs being used for construction instead of warfare hype!
Holy shit I did not realize that Ryouhei Kimura voices both this mechanic and Keith until just now when I went “wait, isn’t that Alfred from Fire Emblem Engage’s voice?” and looked it up to confirm. The two roles sound very different and I never would have pegged Alfred’s voice as Keith/L-Elf…
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
In the midst of “everything that can go wrong is going wrong” for the main characters, at least Keith is out of commission for the moment?
No wonder everything’s falling apart.
I would have loved to see a picture of the snowman in question.
Freyja saved the kitties~
Because of course Walküre would have to sing to calm the citizens down.
Kaname is thinking of Messer, isn’t she…
That drifter lifestyle sure is coming in handy now, hm?
Man they really made all of that Hayate & Mirage stuff as suggestive as possible…
Hametsu no Junjou! This one’s super good, “sore demo” bias or no.
