Macross Delta Episode 13
The battle for Ragna begins as Delta squad and the rest of Chaos go on the offensive. With Windmere on the front and NUNS breathing down their neck, saving the people becomes the people becomes the top priority.

Using the power of the Wind Singer and their Protoculture ship, the Aerial Knights capture Al Shahal in mere minutes. Ragna is their final target, and Delta Squad must prepare their defense while dealing with NUNS interference.
Most every Roundup shows airs their penultimate episode with no sign of the end in site. Seriously, it’s completely business as usual and I have no idea how any of these shows are going to find a stopping point. At least Bakuon!! is weird again.
The crew says goodbye to Messer, but there is little time to grieve. The Aerial Knights are ready to play their trump card, setting the stage for an incredibly high stakes battle.
The Roundup is heating up as Luluco getts the cameo we we’ve been waiting for and Tanaka-kun carts out the “summer episode”. I suppose there were other shows too but hey, Inferno Cop!
The squad attends the Jellyfish Festival on Ragna, a traditional event for couples. Messer is re-assigned to a training position where he can be safe, but with another attack from the Aerial Knights his absence is immediately felt on the battlefield.
We’re about three quarters through the spring season and our Roundup shows prepare for their final stretch by… basically doing the same things they always do. I guess that’s what happens when you watch a lot of easy going comedies. But hey, at least we have Luluco to deliver our weekly dose of madness, right?
Mirage and Hayate learn more about Messer’s past and his current condition. They try to convince him that he could be danger to everyone on the battlefield, but they are interrupted by another attack from the Aerial Knights.
Bakuon! makes me talk about winter while it’s 90ºF outside, Luluco goes for the deepest of cuts for the season 3 finale, and Tanaka-kun is still the best show this season that no one is watching. Please watch it.
Freyja, Mirage, and Hayate are captured by the Aerial Knights while Messer and the rest of Walkure are still stuck behind enemy lines. Delta Squadron arrives to rescue them, but the group must fight their way out.
We’ve hit the midpoint of the spring season and the Roundup shows continue to coast along. Bakuon is back to being it’s amusingly weird self and Luluco continues to REDACTED FOR SPOILERS, meanwhile Tanaka-kun somehow manages to bring in a clingy imouto without making us totally drop it.
Walkure and Delta Squadron go undercover on a nearby planet recently occupied by Windmere. They learn more infomation about the Vars outbreaks, but Freyja, Hayate, and Mirage get separated from the group.
The Roundup has finally stabilized with the remaining shows delivering a bit of a mixed bag this week. Joker Game and Tanaka-kun are going strong but Bakuon!! continues to slump and Three Leaves, Three Colors nearly put me to sleep. Most importantly though, Luluco reminds us not to LOSE OUR WAAAAAAAY.
Freyja and Hayate bristle under their respective authorities as they continue their training. Not even Mirage escapes criticism as she has to deal with expectations of her lineage. They must put that aside as Delta Squadron heads into battle, and with lives on the line they need to be sure they know what they’re fighting for.
Artemis is out this week so I’m doing my best to hold down The Roundup on my own. So sit back, relax, and enjoy our weekly wave of feel good comedies, with a side of me ranting about Twin Star Exorcists for possibly the last time.
With Windmere’s declaration of war, Delta’s contract has changed to include helping defend Ragna, essentially declaring war themselves. All eyes are on Freyja as she decides if she will turn against her planet, even as some accuse her of being a spy. Hayate must also decide if he wants to continue to fight now that real combat is on the horizon.
We’re dropping shows all over the place and I’m still mad at Twin Star Exorcists, but The Roundup carries on. I have accepted Bakuon!! as our lord and savior, Luluco and Joker game are doing there thing, and Tanaka-kun and Three Leaves, Three Colors (we need a good short name for that) just make you feel good.
Ryougo and the Seita dorm crew head out for a routine exorcism, but it turns out to be more than they can handle. Rokuro is left with no choice but to ask Benio for help and the two set out to save him.
Walkure performs a pre-emptive concert to prevent a Vars outbreak. Things are going well enough for Freyja and Hayate in their performance debut, but it’s only a matter of time before the spectacle draws the attention of their mysterious enemy.
Another round of cuts and me raging about Twin Star Exorcists earlier in the week will have The Roundup looking a bit thinner, but fortunately the return of Sakamoto and a solid performance from the rest of the line up keep things positive.
