This wallpaper gives us a perfect example of how a simple manga scan can be turned into a beautiful vector. Not only did danalm trace the lineart, but he also added amazing details and a simple, yet wonderful background. Furthermore, the wallpaper shows us how the monochromatic style can make your work look really interesting.

K, just recently celebrates the 25th anniversary of the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross TV series and made new series: Macross Frontier. They have shown Macross Frontier Deculture Edition or Macross Special Edition on Dec '07! April 3rd came the first episode! and few days ago they brought the 2nd episode~~~~!

Man, this series is so cool~~~! I can't wait for next episode! They're using pretty famous VAs for the main charas!!
Saotome Alto:Yuichi Nakamura (Clannad, Gundam 00, Okiku Furikabutte & more)
Ranka Lee:Megumi Nakajima (Newbie)
Sheryl Nome:Aya Endo (Lucky Star, MapleStory, My Otome & more)

The lists goes on, but what your comment on this series?

Well, I don't care much about the voices, since Macross had always won in sounds, but what I care...

HELL YEAH, SKULL SQUADRON V2

Max NEEDS to return. Maybe some Fire Bomber cameos here and there.

Oh, and in your seiyuu list, you forgot Ozma Lee's seiyuu, Katsuyuki Konishi. a.k.a. Volfogg and Kamina.

If its Shoji Kawamori, its a guaranteed success.

Oh yeah! Sorry, I didn't mean to forget Ozma! His VA is really good too!
Not sure, you seen the episode 2, but Fiber Bomber have their part a bit.


SPOILER (click to view)


Skull Squadron is back, so I was happy too.

Only sad thing is they change the ED song to "Aimo" and "Diamond Crevasse" in the TV series stead of "愛・おぼえていますか" from original Macross.

Yeah, that was a shame. I rather liked the remix of Do You Remember Love? from the Deculture/Special version of the episode 1.

Tidbits in episode 2:
- Mikhail/Michel pilots a blue Valkyrie, the same style as Max's Valkyrie
- The Valkyrie which Alto pilots regrew arms after it was cut by the Vajra (The monster)
- In the original Macross, Roy gets Hikaru in the UN Spacy. In this one, the army tries to recruit Alto
- Gilliam's Valkyrie has the code 007, chances are, its a reference to Macross 7
- Ozma's Valkyrie's armor bears similarity to Hikaru's Armored Valkyrie
- OZMA PUNCH (Kamina punched Simon...)
- Trivial, but Ozma called for "Michel", but Alto CLEARLY calls him "Mikhail

Hm... man, you're careful watcher than I am. I need to rewatch epi 2 again.

Oh btw Mikhail in japanese ミハエル which in English is Michael. For good example name John in english is ヨハネ (yohane) or ジョン (john) whichever works. So it might be just mistake or Ozma said Mikhail fast that it sound like "michael/michel"

Wow you've got some really detailed observations there haha...having only watched Macross Zero other than this, I dont know too much about the Macross series :P. Is it just Zero and Frontier, or do they like to have characters that have the last name of "Nome"?

I don't know, but probably stems from the fact that Macross ALWAYS has something to do with music.

If you haven't seen the old stuff yet, I suggest watching the Macross: Do You Remember Love? movie and Macross 7.

Yes, Macross: The Movie was awesome. Also Macross 7 is in top fav too. Also, I'll recommend watching Macross II. That was my second Macross series.

btw, there are a lot of Macross series

Macross (TV)
Macross 7 (TV)
Macross 7 Encore (OAV)
Macross 7 the Movie: The Galaxy's Calling Me!
Macross Dynamite 7 (OAV)
Macross Flash Back 2012 (OAV)
Macross Frontier (TV)
Macross II (OAV)
Macross Plus (OAV)
Macross Plus Movie Edition
Macross XX (OAV Promo)
Macross Zero (OAV)
Macross: Do You Remember Love? (movie)

Well pretty much, Macross, Macross II, Macross 7, Macross Plus, Macross Zero, & Macross Frontier. and just 6 series side stories here and there movies.

Macross II was a little lackluster to me. Actually, you could just jump from the first Macross to Macross Plus, and then to 7. That's really the current line.

SDF Macross -> Macross Plus -> Macross 7 (The Emerald Squad had the VF19) -> Macross Frontier

I loved the original Macross (VF-1S Roy, love the design.), Macross Plus (INFORMATION HIGH), and Macross 7 (GAMLIN KICK)

VF-1S isn't bad. Not too fan of the colors. I like VF-19 and Basara's Color designs. Not sure about the cockpit, but outside design is 2 thumbs up! Frontier's VF-25 has cool transforming style than any VF, but I'm not sure what to think about the design.

Are you talking about Gamlin's VF-17S Nightmare? Or VF-22S Sturmvogel?

There are few manga came out. Most of them were not to do with any macross series. I think, they even made gundam manga series by macross artiest.

I use to own one of the original VF, but when I moved to US, I lost it. My plan is to get VF-19 or VF-22 (or maybe new VF-25)... But not sure still.
For pics, here is the pic for Basara's VF-19 (Macross 7)

For Gundam Manga's just go borders and type in Gundam and it should bring up of them
Here's the link: Gundam Manga
