Moral of the story? Don't let women distract you - men have over twice as much time in their prime than women. Unless you die while watching a beauty pageant when you're supposed to be in battle.

Of course she won.
And those flashy scenes were hurting my eyes in these last two ep. :-(

A funny way to introduce the Zentradi and the cultural shock a bit more and to add to the heroes relationship.

5/5


Of course she won.

It wasn't even fair to begin with, when one of the participants looks like that:


Total filler episode!

Total baseless conclusion.


@Vhailor That or Explorers vision. xD

For a moment I thought she was referring to Hikaru when she said she has cousin lol. Being thought of as a cousin would be even worse than getting friendzoned.

And Hikaru really outdid himself this time with his stupidity, and that's saying something. It's still hard to believe this fuckwit became a squad leader.

Still, the sci-fi itself in this episode was pretty good. Pretty sure that's how aliens would react if they bumped into our TV and radio signals.

this anime so far is actually pretty entertaining, but the gaps get rediculous. I always thought Maccros was "serious", yet its more like a fun teen-pop-corn-mecha show.

Don't you hate it when you are trying to enjoy looking at you crush wearing a bikini but some ugly alien tries to kill you?

Hikaru can't catch a break goddam... pretending to get a bad signal with Misa just so he can slack off and watch the Miss Macross contest.

The culture shock for Wararea, Loli and Konda begins.

Zentradi watching the beauty contest and reacting to it was the highlight for me. It was funny but we also learned some interesting things about them.

Entertaining episode, though I wonder why Hikaru was the only one to sortie. What about Focker and Max, for example?

Did they just decide they didn't want to animate the mouths moving?





These scenes are about 12 minutes in to the episode

lol

"They're broadcasting an image."
*shows naked women*
"What the hell is this?"
"idk either"

I didn't think this anime would be a comedy!

Hikaru never was the brightest pilot in Macross' history

Him smiling like an idiot every time he turned the broadcast on made me lose it xD

That was hilarious, to beam a beauty contest into mecha, genius.

WTF with the Hikaru hate? If the woman you loved was in a frickin beauty contest, I think you'd do anything in your power to either stop it from happening or watch it yourself. What was he gonna do? Switch to another channel in the mecha? I think not!

Being Hikaru is suffering. Because of women he already lost his "dream" airplane. Now he almost got himself killed. idk maybe this anime is trying to tell us something.

I would be worried about my life rather than going to a beauty pageant, regardless I've learned not to take this series seriously. The aliens getting a boner was hilarious.

This makes me feels like BATHING THE BLOOD OF MY ENEMIES but not exactly........ uhhhhhhh

so funny xD

Two or three important bits of information here:
1. The Zentradi species does have females (even though we haven't seen them yet)
2. Zentradi combat teams are gender segregated, but both males and females fight.
3. There's something weird about the way the two sexes relate, since the male Zentradi were obviously reacting to the ..ahem...stimulus, but were unclear as to why they were reacting that way

I think we've just gotten a clue as to why the Zentradi have a taboo about getting involved with the miclone (normal sized human) worlds...

I'm watching it right now and yeah there was a lot of information in this "joke" episode. My takeaway is that they have never even seen a real woman. They were born and put to battle.

Thinking about it I'm not even sure if the aliens are really giants. Maybe it's just the soldiers that are giants or clones or something like that.
