I'm pretty sure Grace and the unknown guy with the purple VF are together... but what role will they be playing!? O snapz!?

Roflcopter at the next title episode: "Legend of Zero". Will they take a look at how Lelouch put down Britannia in the past!?

Good solid episode, with some great action and tension for the characters. Makes me think the show would be better the more it focused on S.M.S because Ranka and Sheryl just don't feel all that important when they feature in an episode. But as they get pulled into the plot more I'm sure that will change.

I guess that it was probably more of hacking into the laptop than having a spy in the boardroom ?

Anyway, okay episode, at least the animation quality's back to normal.

Yay, Lots of Klan. =D

Preview for episode 10 looks like it will relate very closely to Macross Zero...

I was hoping for a bit more of a fight between Alto and Michael, instead Alto only got in a couple of punches before he got his ass kicked. :x

Nice solid episode.
I wonder what kind of connection Grace has with that mysterious pilot.
Also, I laughed at the scene where Michael is slapped by Klan =P

yeh some good scenes, klan so wants michael lol
action scenes were great too
well i dunno, was it really grace relaying the orders to the purple VF dude?

hm i like the preview, with the relation to Macross Zero, i suppose Sheryl's role will become a bit more important aswell considering her family name

nice episode

Sheryl's last name of Nome is too obvious a connection, I'll be disappointed if they go in that direction tbh I hope her last name is just a coincidence...

Yeah I agree but going by the next eps preview... it doesn't look promising

Macross F must be the most inconsistent show of this spring, with absolutely breathtaking episodes (the 7th for example) and really weak ones like the last two...

Kudos to the Macross F folks for giving Michael an actual tragic backstory. I usually feel like these "reason to fight" episodes fail to inspire proper sympathy, but in this case I could totally understand Michael's reasons for acting like he did. They could have easily spent 2 or 3 episodes on his backstory and I would've been fine with it.

Also Klan versus the mysterious Valkyrie was plain awesome and had me on the edge of my seat!

Michael's sniping is so awesome!

I wonder if the unknown fighter is a friend or foe. It seems kinda dumb for him to be a bad guy since they're all human and fighting for the same side.

Decent episode and all with some focus on a supporting character although i still don't like that Michael guy much.
Klan is too awesome at her normal form that is very sad she has that stupid loli form when she gets human sized.

Btw can't human or halfbreeds turn into giants with the same machine?

I hate arrogant bishies that try to play mysterious so i dislike the red plane guy.

I noticed the talk Ranka's manager had about the sites getting hacked. I had that impression from last time when that guy said to keep tags on Ranka but now it's obvious.
Her TV appearance getting cancelled, the net promotion attempts getting hacked.
Obviously some government guys know something about her and they are keen on stopping her from creating a singing career.

By the way, these VF knives are clearly an NGE influence

The type of weapon Brera used to destroy the nest...it really gave off some Gundam vibes. I wonder if Brera works for Leon (he was trying to conceal his presence at the battle for Galaxy, and he might have reasons to destroy the evidence, though the one giving orders was a woman...Kathie??), and whether Grace is onto something as an independent actor. Glasses girls are always mysterious, I know it's a trope!

Why was Luca surprised to hear Alto say Michel's name? He did that before.

Klan and Mikhail are just chidhood "friends", yeeeaaah xD I think Klan wants something more. That space slap though lol

I wonder if Sheryl attends the classes with even a semblance of regularity xD

Those little Vajras in the nest looked like the one that stole Sheryl's pants. I knew! They even showed them in consecutive cuts!
