| 12:00am | Macross Frontier 08 PISSES ME OFF: We Remonstrate Love | | | | I really wanted to remember love here. I really did. This is going to get ugly. Episode 08: ‘High School Queen’ is the ugliest work of animation in the Macross franchise. While I can’t prove this with scietific and statistical certainty, I will present images to exemplefy and demonstrate.... | | |
| 2:18am | My fall season ‘09 picks |  | | | The majority of the fall 2009 anime series are going to start airing in a few weeks, so I figured now’s a good time to decide which ones I’m interested in Darker than Black: Ryuusei no Gemini (Comet of Gemini) I watched the first season of Darker than Black a couple of years ago, but... | | |
| 2:42pm | Cross Game - 24 | | | | I’d like again to hijack this post for a bit to post up some impressions of the past half year of anime. Now that most of the series of the past Spring and Summer Season are about to end, it’s time to reflect on them again, and how they matched up to previous years. My general impression... | | |
| 12:00am | An Introduction to Warfare in Macross: First Fight (Macross Frontier 07) | | | | A moment of silence as we remember love for the fallen, and the heroes during 9/11/2001. The episode itself is a showcase of the martial capabilities of the SMS. By this I mean the tactics, the personnel, and the ordnance; and how they all come together against what pretty much counts as an unkown... | | |
| 4:30pm | T.H.A.T. Fall 2009 Anime Preview |  | | | Deadpan lolis, my favorite Welcome to another edition of the T.H.A.T. anime preview! Out of a total of 26 series covered in this preview (I excluded the kiddie shows/educational stuff as usual), the statistical breakdown goes like this (some categories overlap): Sequels: 8 Spin-offs: 3 New Shows: 15... | | |

| 2:05pm | Macross Frontier Worldwide Cosplay | | | | A fan over at NicoNico Video has created a nice compilation video of various macross Frontier cosplay around the globe, Singapore gets a mention too Check out the links to the original video on NicoNico. http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/ sm6694381 http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/ sm5927966 [via] http://www.sankakucomplex.com/... | | |
| 7:26am | Basquash! - 22 | | | | Okay, I admit. This episode was pretty much fun to watch. The plot still is one big failure and mish-mash of clichés, but I don’t think anyone cares at this point about whether or not Dan is going to succeed in saving the world. For an episode with such a cheesy premise, I really enjoyed this... | | |
| 12:00am | The False Farewell: Macross Frontier 06 (Bye Bye Sheryl) | | | | She doesn’t get to leave this episode, but delivers a farewell concert. I’ve mentioned in my post on episode two (Hard Chase) that what the Macross Franchise does very well is to stage musical set-pieces. By this I mean there is an actual live performance while events of consequence unfold... | | |
| 9:05am | Basquash! - 21 | | | | Okay, that’s it. This series has completely given up any form of logic at this stage. I mean, seriously. It surpasses itself in terms of stupidity in this episode. There were plenty of moments in this episode that just made me ask “why?!”. A list of bullet-points of all the wtf-moments... | | |
| 1:41am | How to Date an Idol | | | | So you want to date an idol? The Macross franchise has the idols of mass destruction/galactic salvation (tier/class); and, it would be instructive I feel to see how they were wooed. I submit the examples who are at or close to the peak of their popularity: Sheryl Nome of Macross Frontier, and Lynn... | | |
| 2:36pm | Macross F Movie Sheryl Nome Pink Monsoon CD Single | | | | UPDATE: Track details added. Source.I’m not sure if this is such a good marketing tactic, but I think they might intend to make people familiar with the song before the movie is aired.Details:Title: Macross Frontier Movie The False Diva Insert Song “Pink Monsoon” / Sheryl Nome starring... | | |
| 12:00am | For the Love of Robots Don’t Kill Yuuki!!! (Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 07) | | | | Finally Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 delivers on it’s teasing. In this episode, we have robots. Awesome, real robots; robots that have real-world applications and are designed with practical sensibilities. They get to do awesome things too, and the show provides us not one, but two audience (ghostlightning)... | | |
| 12:00am | Moé Just Doesn’t Cut it: Macross Frontier 04 (Miss Macross) | | | | In talent(?)-based reality(?) television programs, there is this phenomenon wherein a less-than-talented but cute (contingent to subjective fan|fanbase appeal) contestant gets poor marks, bonus points for when the vicious judge shits all over her — often justified, and that contestant suddenly... | | |
| 8:43pm | SDF Macross Episodes 01 and 02 - The Stars Our Battlefield | | | | Having watched Macross Frontier and hearing so much about the original series, I am now pleased to begin blogging the original Super Dimensional Fortress Macross. For some of you this will also be your first experience with the 1982-1983 series, for others a return to an old classic. Please no spoilers... | | |
