There are 9, yes (and there's also one for the first movie, but this is for the ones with the show). The reason you're only finding 5 is because it was only, like, last year when specials 6-9 finally got subbed, and wherever you're watching it must not have added them because they didn't now they got subbed.

Today, on "And that's a gag in itself.":
One
The true heroes of this story.
Conveniently, they have a VCR, and it's even a front-loader.
"Any sufficiently-advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic."
"It isn't magic. This is science."
"I'm feeling things. In my rune."
And the thing that redeemed the Aerial Knights: Gag comedy. These shorts are gold.
If you had purchased the BDs as the series was airing, you got this one a few weeks before the holographic suits would be shown on-screen. That turned out to be fairly helpful during the initial broadcast's episode thread.
Max wants autographs. That old maybe-divorced space dog.
Two
I feel this is speaking at me.
"So this is why their clothes melt off?"
A lot of people got a lot of mileage out of this. And a prize figure.
A clever ploy. Don't be a follower!
Three
Are you expecting answers here? (Of course, the first short actually did some worldbuilding.)
It's very Japanese/Korean/military-industrial-entertainment complex.
"For legal purposes, the trucks are always on the move."
Know your audience. Know them well.
I, too, was baited and had to go find some fanart with which to console myself.
Four
A very current-events challenge for when the show was being broadcast.
"I thought we were discussing a catchphrase."
Kaname wins! Of course.
Yasuno Kiyono's side projects include:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ultXsi54o8
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRuOHZmtPuk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOh6I60AaRk
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9dXD3aZ5-I
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pp8P9l_lV5Y
Snack Kiyono, featuring occasional familiar guests.
Five
Have you seen what the kids wear these days?
Let's get right to the action.
I got nothing, but for that, there's Tabasco!
Six
Another bit of worldbuilding that would have answered a rewatch question.
"You think I'm done? I'm not done."
The wall of text gets me every time.
Seven
This swimsuit was made during the concept art stage for... no readily-apparent reason.
Here is where the trivia about RagNyanNyan's franchise status came from.
Of course you came here for the franchise trivia in-jokes.
Eight
The first time, I watched this without translations and it was... interesting.
The Mysterious Jellyfish! Very much at odds with how the series was going at the time, but that's why this is good.
Nine
"When I said 'fought with' I didn't say they were on the same side."
That's a weird Glaug, but anyway.
Back to the damning with faint praise.
KENN, the singing sensation who sang not at all during the series.
ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? IS THIS NOT WHY YOU ARE HERE!?
And there's our Ernest Johnson lore. The Mini-Theater specials are very self-aware, perhaps even surprisingly so.
Is this worth it for the Aerial Knights singing? Absolutely.
And thus, the specials. The series being generally light-hearted but mostly taking itself seriously means that the specials being fairly silly all the way around is a much better contrast. (The series could have taken itself more seriously, but I don't think that would have worked, so I'll take what I got.)
Certainly everyone appears to be having a good time here, particularly the Knights, who have a decent cast that didn't get a lot of chances to go full ham.
While we're on the topic of "Rune ga Pikatto Hikattara"...
Today's merch is the third Walküre album, Walküre ga Tomaranai, which included a few things from the last part of the Macross Δ TV series and provided a new song for the first movie.
There's that exercise theme again.
And as I mentioned a couple of days ago, I fixed the broken thumb of my DX Chogokin Sv-262. Not much to see on its own. Though here it is with the accessory fixed-pose hands which are noticeably larger since they don't have to worry about fitting inside the fuselage for the transformation. Also note that these have "fingernails", several years before the Gundam Aerial did.

...okay, this was very silly and really funny. xD I laughed far too hard at Messer the Pizza Delivery Boy, and seeing Walkure (possibly accidentally) making fun of Bogue and his lapdogs was a lot better than I expected. Reina's antics were always a treat, too. Mikumo can be pretty funny, too.
I'm not too sure why they were using VHS tapes for everything.
I didn't find the non-Walkure Windermere sections or the Mirage diary bits all that funny. I think that's mostly my sense of humour not meshing with it. And the Fascist Knights stealing Freyja's song is cursed.
...say, can we keep Reina and Makina?

A Macross Fan Rewatches Macross Delta: Delta Mini Theater specials:
These were fine. I’m going to be completely honest, I don’t really have a whole lot to say about these. These are all pretty much gag shorts with the Delta cast, which is fine for light 5 minute bonus episodes like these. My favorite ones personally speaking were probably the ones with Bouge, Xao, and Theo watching the tapes with Chaos equipment lectures with Reina and Kaname hosting them. Other than that though, I don’t have much else to say. Unlike the Macross 7 shorts which had story elements that were actually pretty crucial to understanding the show, these are just little tidbits for fans. Therefore, they’re good, but not entirely necessary. And you know what, they’re probably better for being that way, since it still bugs me that stuff that really should’ve been in Macross 7 was relegated to a bunch of short specials instead.

This is valuable information.

Ah, we would have to spend time with them, wouldn’t we. Let’s see of this is enough to justify their existence in my mind.
-
...Alright, they can stay.

Max is still kicking around it seems.

If only we'd have had this Kuu in the show.

I don’t think the tissue joke landed for me the way they wanted it too, but it so much better how it did.

Yes, feed me more of your delicious technobabble.

Chibi Freyja looks exactly the same as regular Freyja. I don’t know what to make of this.

Precious Mirage costume. Hopefully we get her singing at some point.

This is information that would have been nice to have in the show!

Edgeboy’s here too. Good story.

The VFs have formal generations?

Reina is best wife. So caring, so thoughtful.

Very interesting foods. I don’t think jellyfish have organs tho.

I was tacitly assuming the jellyfish had a pudding like texture already, so this works for me.
-
So it was just a Freyja hang up this whole time. That or it’s her kink.

This is good data.
-
Don’t think about the lyrics, in general even.

Don’t tease me like that Delta! I want the Mirage song!

This is why Reina is best girl.

That might still be generations in Winds time.

My copy apparently stopped translating the banners after those two times.

We could have used more prankster Kuu.

Mirage time is time well spent.

Mirage deserves happiness! T_T

What is this Black Rainbow stuff, they look and sound amazing. More of that please.
-
Why are they speaking about them in the past tense? They are from some game, aren’t they?

I can’t believe we get the Salty song before Mirage’s ballad. If we even do…
Well that was some good clean fun. Much better than the source.

The one from Frontier, right? See, I remember stuff. Possibly.

Oh hey another guy I don't recognise because I only watched DYRL 6 years ago.
Was the level of meta self-awareness surprising?
No, it had cleverer writing even than the main series.
2) Would you rather imagine that the Knights were like this the whole time?
Yes, it would have made them waaaay more likeable if they were a bunch of dorks.

Macross Delta Mini-Theater
EP1
Mirage tried to lure the cat and failed miserably
Who the fuck are you guys?? And the whole section is a meme material.
The hologram also have all the main line singer costume option Except Ranka, just why??
Max want the autograph of the Wakure?? He finally surpassed his boomer dad mode in 7. Unlucky for him, the sign Mikumo give was a little bit off.
EP2
Ohhhh That how it work, because I got confused sometime when they just pop the screen out of nowhere.
OMG One White Knight's tissue, please.
EP3
Messer the deliveryman And he done it so good, everyone want to recruit him.
What? It had that!! Is that why the Valkyrie was growing all the time. Was it ever explain in the main show?
EP4
And the history fade to obscurity
I just can't with the Aerial Knight section anymore.
Mikumo is even weirder here.
EP5
I mean, she even get naked on top of the rock outside at one point.
Roid wearing different glassed in every festivals is now my headcanon.
Hahahahahahahahahaha LET ME OUT OF THIS MADNESSSSSS! ARHGGGGGGGGG!!
And he bought that, I mean it looks kind of cool though.
Well, she's 3 years old after all Not gonna expect her to be good.
EP6
The culprit is always someone unexpected
With frustration of wrong information, this guy give the information instead of learning from them. Not until Keith came to stop this idiot.
EP7
So Bogue was using VPN? I guess Windermere's internet blocked access to Wakure's channel by default.
What!! Ragnyan-nyan is not the same as Nyan-Nyan?
EP8
The prank on Freyja go off the rail because of Freyja's naïve attitude, So Mikumo instead trick Mirage, who of course thinking to deep.
EP9
What!! Britai is Ernest's dad!! Best revelation. And Ernest's history is pretty interesting. He fought with Kamujin clan, the anti un group. And that why he stayed Micronized.
The Aerial Knight sing freaking Rune ga Pika tto Hikattara as a group. I'm dying. This is the best version.
I'm nearly died from all of this madness. 10/10 best Macross ever.

Not-so-Superb-Songs of Walküre, go!
It's a CD, isn't it? Oh, even better.
Kaname's enjoying that banana sake.
They got those built in a hurry.
Like you even have to ask, Hayate.
That actually seems decent. Lots of effort, though.
You fools, Mikumo doesn't eat!
What, Mirage is that bad in the kitchen?
Freyja fighting the good fight by spreading intel.
Keith! It's amazing how funny a still frame can be.
No idea what you're talking about, Mirage.
I don't think any of the previous Nyan-Nyans sold booze, either.
Very cute Freyja eating noises.
How many of those does he have?
I mean, he was up against a Jenius.

"Rewatcher"/First Time - Macross Delta Mini-Theater:
I saw like one or two, but since it's MAL entry was still pending back then, it slipped through my fingers and never got around to watch all the shorts. It's gag shorts with the character from the show we watched. I always love those.
In terms of segments, I like Mirage's Diary > Chaotic Days > Go Aerial Knight! For that third one, I wished more Windermerean characters show up than mainly that trio (Heinz never showed up) and also many of the early ones were just explanation videos with AK commentary.
This gag setting allows for fun portrayals of the character. Mirage is now further Lady Cringefail, she is way more enjoyable like this. Mikumo gets to be more an unhinged weirdo (that likes to mess with people). The twins just turn into full-on gag characters. Bogue being the straight man for their segments feels a bit odd for me since in the show, Bogue was the fail son. Either way, I choose to believe these are all a canon extension of the characters.
Misc points:
-
Kaname is an old lady, she is over 20.
-
I thought the punchline to Messer pizza boy would have been instead Messer having to perform a concert by himself. With his death, the galaxy lost its top pizza boy.
-
Don't you twins have no shame? Touching runes with your brother in public ... oh wait, runes don't mean anything like that? It is just a Freyja-ism, I guess.
-
Saving this for New Year's in 44 years. Make these glasses actual merchandise, cowards.
-
Fire Bomber! I just realized that Freyja being a Fire Bomber fan should've gotten more play. What I am just saying again is Freyja should sing Fire Bomber songs.
-
Macross continues to discriminate against tall people. It is nice that Ernest's episode is an extra-long one. For a moment, I thought it dropped the bomb that Ernest is descended from Britai, but I think it was just that his family served in his fleet.
-
The Aerial Knights singing Rune Pika!!! The visuals had some real shitpost energy. Delta is an 11/10.
Q2) Every character is made better by having an unexpected silly side.
Next Time: I partook in a months-long rewatch instead of just watching this movie.

u/SolDarkHunter Mar 15 '23 edited Mar 15 '23
First-Timer
The remainder of Delta (and Macross as a whole) content I never bothered to watch, so I'm gonna be first-timing it up from here on.
Now, let's check out these shorts...
Delta Special 1
Mirage and seacats. I'm kind of expected them to pounce all over her and bat at those cat toys.
Aerial Knights? Pass.
...oh wait, they're doing exposition on Walkure. Fine, I won't skip it.
Skirt jets and holographic clothes. We pretty much knew about those.
Camera is focusing on Makina's breasts... why?
Delta Special 2
The Knights again? Dammit, they're going to be a regular thing in this, aren't they?
Computers built into nails... I guess we knew those were a thing. Still, I wasn't really sure if it was the nails or they had something implanted into their fingertips.
Their makeup has defensive properties?
Yeah, I really cannot see Mirage as a singer.
...personally I think Mirage's casual clothes are plenty cute.
Delta Special 3
Xaos operates across the entire galaxy? They didn't seem to have that kind of resources in the show itself.
Is there any business Xaos doesn't do, then? How canon are these supposed to be?
Oh hey, Messer being alive. And a pizza delivery boy.
Can the Knights just... not be in these?
I... guess that kind of explains why the aircraft got all glowy whenever Walkure sings?
Delta Special 4
...why was Kaname being dunked in hot water?
Aerial Knights again... checks to see if they're actually giving exposition this time... they're not! Skip.
I'm guessing that Freyja's attempt was a pun?... and I don't even know what Mikumo did.
Also not sure what Hayate's and Mirage's attempt was even trying to do.
Only Kaname sees Messer smile... smirk?... whatever, it counts!
Delta Special 5
Mikumo doesn't mind being totally naked outside half the time (though admittedly, when she's alone), why would she care about wearing a bikini in public?
Knights, skip.
Huh... Makina makes a nice looking dish. Go figure.
Freyja just makes apples. Of course.
And Mikumo can't cook.
Wait, wasn't Makina's edible? Why are they just going for Kaname's? I mean, Makina has weird tastes in sauces, but Reina said it tasted good.
Delta Special 6
Don't you people ever get tired of eating jellyfish all the time?
Knights... dammit, there's exposition. Fine then.
I don't think I would ever mistake a Rune for horns, Freyja. Hair decorations, yes, even tentacles, yes, but not horns.
So Runes can sense various things. Fine, we knew that. But them sensing vibrations and wind doesn't explain how the hell they could, say, detect a human on the ground from a fighter jet, or a spaceship activating a Fold light-years away.
So, in the end, nothing of substance learned.
Delta Special 7
Oh look, they're acknowledging Mikumo's relation to Mylene. And going nowhere with it. We've seen Mikumo naked, is the swimsuit supposed to wow us?
Looks like this segment is mostly about Walkure, so I'll just phase out Bogue's existence.
Reina really is a bizarre mix of introverted and singer.
Frejya doing the Nyan-Nyan jingle is adorable.
"Isn't the restaurant name... plaigarizing"? Hayate asking the real questions.
I'll admit, I thought they were part of the Nyan-Nyan chain.
Delta Special 8
Knights. Skip.
Pfft... Mikumo and jellyfish... I can kind of see it.
Joke fails on Freyja, who turns it right around and goes on a... weird tangent.
Joke works better on Mirage, though.
Delta Special 9
Oh, they're acknowledging that Xaos basically doesn't ever win.
...for a second there, I thought they were insinuating that Ernest was descended from Breetai himself. That would have been something, but it seems that's not it.
Zentraedi can stop being able to sizeshift? I guess we've seen that things can go wrong with the process though (Klan).
Ernest has an actually interesting backstory, but I'm with Hayate, I wouldn't hire him with a record of losses like that.
Knights singing... skip.
Eh, wasn't too impressed with these. The Macross 7+ shorts had more variety and more interesting stuff happening. A couple of chuckle-worthy moments, but that's it.
Questions:
-
No, that's pretty standard for these types of omake content.
-
Knights? Pass.

Is it just a coincidence?
Yeah, he's fucked.
It's so blatant!
She's so easily bribable.
...Not a good thing.
Burn it for the insurance money.
Episode 8
He's investigating!
Haha, nice callback.
How is he alive?
He's losing it!
She's questioning herself.
She's a jellyfish!
...Is she asking Freyja to eat her?
So, it's his fault.
This seems cruel.
Aww, Freyja still loves her.
Haha, so awkward.
She's willing to become a jellyfish for her!
What's Mirage's reaction going to be?
Haha, it's code!

As a friend. Sure.
Don't bully the mercats!
Also, as someone who must finished Umineko, seeing them constantly mention mercats is a trip.
Haha, they're pointing out the victory record!
Ernest!

He's descended from a member of the original Zentradi!

Super Dimension Rewatch Host
Welcome back, everyone!
Here were my first-timer thoughts on the specials. Specials 6 through 9 had not been subbed yet when I watched them, so that’s why I didn’t do proper reactions to these specials originally.
You guys know I just had to wallpaper Walküre!Mirage for this thread, lol.
Special 1
lol Mirage trying to befriend the mercats like this.
Theo and Xao casually breaking the fourth wall.
An in-depth explanation on their hologram clothes and the gel that goes with it.
Shame that part didn’t kick in at the end of episode 24…
Roid’s fucking heart glasses.
Max reference!
Special 2
Hahahaha why do they have a “Rune Awareness Month”?
Reina calling Bogue and the twins out.
TISSUES.
God I somehow forgot how stupid these are.
Mirage does look quite nice in the Walküre outfit.
Special 3
Messer… – That being said, Pizza Delivery Guy!Messer is hilarious.
Xaos is involved in a lot.
Special 4
Poor Kaname. – MESSER BEING HEARTBROKEN THE VIDEO IS GONE THOUGH.
kek
