| That was an excellent episode, just great. It's so funny they spent more than a week in that small section of the ship. "TUNA!!!" I really love the characters and their voice acting on this so far, it's a very different approach to the Gundam template when it could have been a simple rip-off. |

| Wow, diving in space to fish... and catching tuna too, that takes the space is an ocean trope into a whole new level.... |
| A tuna floating in space... I wonder what's next. |

| Indeed the giant tuna in the space was priceless xD Great series so far though Minmay is a bit silly but they're cute with Hikaru~ |
 |
| Oh yeah the tuna in space was the highlight of the episode! LOL "Just what kind of girl is Lynn Minmay?" asks the narrator. A freakin' mystery I say, just like any other fictional or real woman from the opposite sex's perspective. Ah well it's only episode 4 and I've forgotten the Macross I've seen when I was little. :) |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| I was NOT snoring in this episode! It's actually getting interesting now! |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| It was very funny how Minmay conmforted Hikaru when he was sobbing about only bringing back the tuna's head. "You shouldn't be so disappointed.Not many people have ever caught tuna in space." Also,if i was in his place,i'd rather die from lack of oxygen but make sure that i bring back the whole tuna. |

| I'm not sure what I thought of this episode the first time I saw it a year ago, but I really enjoyed it this time around. It seems Minmay is being hinted at as more than a normal girl which may help to explain her somewhat...odd behavior. |

| Yeah, funny how the vacuum of space didn't immediately freeze him to death or cause his eyeballs to burst from lack of pressure ... fuckin' physics, how do they work? I'm starting to wish I had this show subtitled ... the English voice acting is typical 80's "this is a cartoon so why give a shit?" actors calling it in. For every Megatron or Starscream there's a dozen Minmei's. I especially noticed it this episode, since there was no mecha action this time around and it was character and dialogue-driven. The only worthwhile one in the whole bunch is the stereotypical captain guy, who at least can be bothered to fake an accent. Focker's not bad either. Granted, in the subs v dubs debate I'll go with the original Japanese 99 times out of 100, with the rare exception being something like the Italian mafia accents in Baccano!, or the countries' accents in Hetalia, where the English actors do a great job and it actually comes out pretty naturally in English. Robotech, though, they were still working on getting it right. 4/5 |

Well, I think he said that the helmet keeps a seal since it's used in fighter planes (not much pressure up there either). Notice how he couldn't breathe until Minmay took it off. His makeshift spacesuit wouldn't protect him for very long, but as long as it kept the air in he wouldn't freeze right away. |
| “Money can't buy dere” |
| There you can see difference in mentality of Japanese and Europe.. They rebuilded their city inside of the ship in such a short time like ants worker instead of crying over being too far away from home planet XD (for "serious Sams" > I'm exaggerating) Sent with Mal Updater |

( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| Minmay was such a cutie during this episode. She also sang a beautiful song. |
 |
| I'd worry more about how they have enough food for 50,000 people than how they moved the prefab buildings from Macross City into the ship. I'm wishing I remembered more from the novels because I think they've wandered pretty far afield... And I must say I'm disappointed in Hikaru, 12 days alone with Minmay and you wait to kiss her until the final day when you'll be interrupted by rescuers? |
Please don't feed the trolls! In my next life I want to collide at the corner with the cute transfer student carrying a piece of toast in her mouth...rodac |
| Well the whole island base was warped to so whatever food cache they had on the island is probably being used here. Hikaru has balls to go out in space like to catch a tuna lol. Minmay's attitude shift was really bizarre... I don't really blame Hikaru for not doing/trying anything with Minmay since he was focused on looking for a way out. Probably didn't want to spend too much energy. |
| Someone said something about "turning the brain off" last ep, lmao, yeah, let's see, giant floating tunas, makeshift spacesuits, entire cities being moved in the space of less than a few days. Oh Macross. I'm really starting to love this show, it's got a goofy charm to it and this was definitely the best ep yet. |
| I loved this episode. It had it all: a big in-space tuna, a spaceship city, twelve days alone with no way out, plus, and this really impressed me: a crazy girl. I would love her craziness to develop further. Will be much more interesting that way x) |
 |
| oooohhhhh, now i get why everyone hates minmei, really enjoyed the episode, the tuna bit was fun |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Believe me, Tuna can grow insanely big. Signifcant Robotech changes in this episode: They cut out Claudia's brief breakfast scene. |

| That girl is really cute, i like the romance in this show, this episode was really great ! |
| Well this is getting bizarre. |
 |
| If 12 days alone with her isn't enough then he's kinda screwed isn't he? |
| I wish Minmay was portrayed less stereotypically. Despite this, the romance is still cute. I like the weirdness of the show, the tuna floating through space especially. |
| Tuna in the space lmao. And just when it got romantic everyone had to interrupt,bad timing or maybe good.. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I don't think I have seen a cuter couple than these two. |
 |
| Space tuna lmao. Thank god for anime physics, otherwise Hikaru going on fishing wouldn't be such a good idea. I agree with others that romance has been cute so far. 12 days... Took them too long, otherwise they wouldn't get interrupted. |
| I already adore the "relationship" between Hikaru and Minmay. There're a couple of mistakes in drawings (like showing Minmay take off her shoes before opening the tube with water and then appear in them again), but I don't mind, everything's great in general. |

| This so has me dying Minmay basically told the MC “kill yourself you coward” |
| So uh... What was that tuna? |
 _______I like rocks__  |
| Hikaru and Minmay's interactions were really wholesome. Really brought them back to a more human place after the non-stop action of the last few episodes. Good stuff. |
| I´m proprably the only one who passed the episode thinking: "fourteen days walking one kilometer, nd don´t find anyone! Where´s the people??" just to find that they are a level above. |

| More comedic that the usual episodes, but Minmay and Rick have great chemistry! |
