| 12:00am | LISTEN TO MY SONG! VOL. 5: An Angel Voice on Submarine Street | | | | Here are two ballads sung by Nekki Basara in Dynamite 7 and Macross 7 respectively. Dynamite 7 is at least as absurd as Macross 7 but with a decidedly universal love for ecology. In this case Basara isn’t singing to space vampires, he’s singing to space whales. Yes, you read that right.... |
| 12:00am | Recap Episodes: 2 Examples of Awesome (Macross Frontier 15 & Nadesico 14) | | | | Recap episodes are generally unwelcome. I haven’t met anyone who looks forward to them. I remember the awful recap episodes in Kare Kano that all but ruined the anime for me. When my friends and I re-watch anime (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann recently), we skip the recap episode(s) entirely. These... | | |
| 12:00am | Fans of Gundam Love their Franchise Like Saji Loves Louise | | | | So yeah the blog is named after a Macross reference, but I’m a Gundam fanboy too, and part of my fascination for the franchise has to do with the behavior of its fandom. I’m not exactly jumping out my seat to applaud Gundam 00 (though I find the recent episode 20 to be quite good), but... | | |
| 2:49am | LISTEN TO MY SONG! Vol. 4: Try Again to Remember 16 | | | | Here’s more Fire Bomber for you! I had just finished watching Macross 7 last night and boy I’m still so high! When the flower girL finally– nah I shouldn’t spoil it, no matter how inconsequential the incident is. In a 49 episode anime that is arguably an excercise of gratuitous... | | |
| 12:00am | Someone’s Showing A Bit Of Character: Roy Mustang | | | | Though Full Metal Alchemist has an entire cast of endearing characters and my personal favourite of the lot is Maes Hughes, Roy Mustang is probably the most popular in the show (at the very least for the fangirls) and with good reason. Except for a few (key) moments in the show, Mustang is always... |
| 12:00am | We Enjoy Our Perfect Service! How We Like Our Fanservice (Studios Take Note!) | | | | Yes, she's a robot, and she's flashing us her bits Reading how fanservice can create a blinder effect and cause a viewer to dismiss a show got me thinking about fanservice in general and my tastes in particular. As far as the article is concerned, yes I am indifferent to most harem-type fanservice... | | |
| 12:00am | LISTEN TO MY SONG! Vol. 3: The Seventh Moon gives off a HOLY LONELY LIGHT | | | | Time for more Macross music! In this post we have the track from the first OP of Macross 7, performed live and acoustic. Also, one of the most fun tracks in the discography: the duet version of HOLY LONELY LIGHT. I don’t know what is it yet about Fire Bomber tracks. They’re not especially... |
| 12:00am | Xam’d Finale: Not Perfect, I Loved it, and How it Could’ve Been Much Worse | | | | It took me a longer time to finish Xam’d, but I’m glad I watched it in batches. When I was watching it at a one episode a week pace it was too easy for me to lose touch with the details, particularly the world-building elements. This got in the way of appreciating the emotional triumph... | | |
| 12:00am | Aina Sahalin: The Vagina of Peace | | | | Hello, I'm Aina Sahalin. I'm ghostlightning's #1 crush in the Gundam Franchise. Happy Valentine’s Day! It’s a day to remember love! However, we won’t be doing a Macross post today because I want to share with you a great moment in animation. This is from Mobile Suit Gundam:... | | |
| 12:00am | Macross 7: Surviving the first 20 Episodes | | | | The points in this post are recycled from a comment, a response to Martin’s comment on LISTEN TO MY SONG! Vol. 2. I mention this just to be cute and symmetrical to the wholesale recycling of animation that happens in Macross 7. Kawamori is into recycling things after all, right? Yakk Deculture!... |
