So, the Macross Delta special is out and well... it's ballsy, it's kind of flat out bananas, I felt nostalgic, I laughed, I got excited, I felt wowed, then I cringed, boy did I cringe, I scratched my head and then I felt awe.

We didn't see much of the cast so far, Freyja is excitable as expected, i think the actress is doing a good job, even if that personality type might not be for everyone, the main guy Hayate is someone that isn't exactly in love with life or has any particular passion, kind of a change from the usual role, and we got a Jenius in the cast.

Valkyrie sequences are pretty great, the CG isn't amazing but in motion it works, there is some neat tech upgrades for the mechs without feeling too much a of a jump from Frontier, and it seems we'll have lots of Fighter vs Fighter sequences which isn't exactly common in Macross.

Then we have Walkure... boy was that over the top. In fact it seems they intentionally raised it to 11 for shock value, since afterwards we got a regular fight sequence, I'm not crazy about the idols jumping around in the battle but they have room to hopefully explain that, Walkure is super showy and it oozes style, and will definitely be the most controversial aspect.

I had fun, I assumed from early on that this would be to Frontier what 7 was to the original, and it definitely seems to be the case, so expect some degree of crazyness.
