This is one of those episodes that I've been waiting to do for a while. I love the Macross franchise, what with the typically excellent music, dramatic stories, sexy ladies and sexier planes. So for this episode, I got associate editor Andres Cerrato, Japanator associate editor Hiroko Yamamura and MAHQ's Chris Guanche together to talk about the series as a whole, along with the toys, music, planes, etc.
As usual, you can hit the jump to stream the episode, download it here or subscribe (and rate us!) us on iTunes. Enjoy!

Was working on a paper and missed the post about the recording. Guess it didn't matter since I'm not that familiar with Macross. I only own one of the movies on VHS. Anyways can't wait to listen to the tomocast at work!
Im having a lot of problems with the Mevo player. It stops randomly and the time-bar doesn't let me go to a different portion of the cast, it just stops.

Yeah, the time-bar doesnt work right in IE either.
With such an inseparable pair, it's no surprise that where there is Shironeko, Kirino is close behind. Pretty much every company releases the two as a pair, and Chara-Ani is no different, pairing the breezy Shironeko with a K...

Haganai NEXT may be over, but I have a feeling Kobato's popularity is just getting started. Media Factory will be making a 1/8-scale figure of her in September, and Akiba Hobby has a big preview gallery up.
