So how about a Hayate-Freyja-Mikumo one? Those two certainly seem to share some sort of bond and it would be novel to have a bisexual love triangle for a change. Probably won&#8217;t happen though. But wouldn&#8217;t it be great if it did?\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/pictures\/wissewords\/macross-delta-11.jpg\" width=\"576\" height=\"323\" alt=\"Macross Delta: best couple\" class=\"aligncenter\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nSpeaking of great things, best couple has to be those two, Makina &#038; Reina. They&#8217;re not just nice together, they&#8217;re nice to their friends\/comrades as well. Case in point, fixing up Hayate&#8217;s brand new VF-31 Siegfried Verifech Fighter so that it works with his unique approach of not using AI control systems. That&#8217;s one of the things I like the most about <cite>Macross Delta<\/cite>, the camaraderie and lack of pointless antagonism between the main characters.\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/pictures\/wissewords\/macross-delta-10.jpg\" width=\"576\" height=\"323\" alt=\"Macross Delta: infodumping through flirting\" class=\"aligncenter\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nOne of the funnier moments this episode came early. One of the waitresses at the welcome party for Hayate &#038; Freyja ineptly flirts with uberserious Walkure pilot Messner asking about the Waccine concert tour, providing an opportunity for a bit of infodumping. Courtesy of her kid brother jumping in and ruining the moment. Cleverly done, though not so much that whole Walkure + vaccine = Waccine thingy.\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/pictures\/wissewords\/macross-delta-12.jpg\" width=\"573\" height=\"309\" alt=\"Macross Delta: kawaii\" class=\"aligncenter\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nThat whole party scene was a delight from start till end. Some very cute things happened in the background as the show got some exposition out of the way, like Reina&#8217;s obvious enjoyment of her food. That&#8217;s the sort of thing I like to see in my <cite>Macross<\/cite> and <cite>Delta<\/cite> so far has it in spades. The world building has been top notch as well, shown mostly through this kind of throwaway background detail.\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/pictures\/wissewords\/macross-delta-14.jpg\" width=\"576\" height=\"323\" alt=\"Macross Delta: Basara is still the greatest asshole in the galaxy\" class=\"aligncenter\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\nIn this episode Freyja explained a bit more about her motivations to leave Windermere and join Walkure. Apparantly an Earthman had given her a music device with terrestrial music, otherwise banned on the planet and she became hooked. Of course it had all the previous series&#8217; idols: Lynn Minmay, Sheryl Nome, Ranka Lee and yes, Fire Bomber, featuring the Galaxy&#8217;s greatest asshole, Basara.\n<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/pictures\/wissewords\/macross-delta-13.jpg\" width=\"576\" height=\"323\" alt=\"Macross Delta: First Lady of Space Soul - Lynn Minmay\" class=\"aligncenter\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well, they said Macross Delta would have several love triangles, not just one.
