I like how the captain just starts up a pipe even though he just fucked everyone over. "Oh well!"

I love the women in this show, they belong in a school not a ship, haha.

Another crazy action scene, I like the creativity in this show. A time when Pluto was still called a planet, ahh...

I started to watch it yesterday after I watched DYRL movie (which was one of the best animated movies I've ever seen) and I have a feeling that it will be epic. Opening is beautiful, very good anime, for the time being I'll give it 8 with potential for 9.

I don't know, the show is just so damn cheesy so far. I know Macross is very significant to the history of anime, but so far not so good.

Give it some time, mate.

Macross doesn't start getting REALLY interesting until around the 12th episode. Thats not to say the first 12 episodes aren't good. They just lack the sheer entertainment and insanity the later episodes bring.

Hikaru and Minmay seems crazy sometimes, seriously, they're joking and have fun even in the biggest pinch though it's quite hilarious xD
I'm enjoying this so far~

I know Hikaru is a very good pilot but how the hell did he know how to automatically maneuver his plane in zero gravity, previous space training experience? Sheer talent? Besides, is that vehicle a spacecraft in the first place?

I have to hand it to Hikaru and Minmay to laugh their troubles away. XD

I'm amazed at how calm Hikaru and Lynn were when they were, y'know, leaking air and freely floating in space? I'd like to see what happens from here now that they're stranded on pluto.

"Oh, yeah, by the way guys, uh, the space fold engine disappeared, we're stranded on pluto with no way off. I'll see you tomorrow!"

They did what? This show is crazy, but fun. Another crack piloting out of Hikaru and a lot of fools luck. They keep getting out of trouble to more trouble, though.
Macross just lost another set of engines. But not before jumping to the back of beyond... If earlier there was no chance of winning, now survival itself seems doubtfull.

The space fold really screwed everybody wow. It's going to be interesting how they will manage to survive.

Still okay for me so far, I hope I can get to like Hikaru.

Lord jesus I laughed.

Anyway, yes, this show's crack-headed disregard for logic and the kooky, somewhat backwards 1970's sensibility of certain cast members is charming and fucking hilarious in equal measures.

Another insane, impossible escape for Hikaru and Minmay - this time they somehow maneuver an airplane in deep space. Again, crack-headed (and amazing). Oh, and on top of that, the fold system has disappeared! Now there's a twist. (Even though they just transported an entire island next to Pluto?) This show is nuts, and I love it.

I guess I must be the only one in to Hikaru then. I find him refreshingly human. His thoughts on war and his apprehension towards violence make him a fascinating lead character.

There's a saying that goes, "Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars" but wow they went to Pluto. Hahahaha.

The disregard for physics here is really something else. Also the facial animation in this is really bad. Eyeballs slide around from shot to shot like their air hockey pucks.

All that ice would have freaked me out so bad! It scared me just seeing it on the screen! It really brings out the loneliness and isolation of space. Now Hikaru and Minmay are trapped alone, but they have each other; it's kinda romantic. I wish that he didn't treat her like a kid the whole time. The captain is a very human character compared with how a captain is usually portrayed in a lot of media. Him lighting the pipe was because he needed to calm his nerves. I didn't expect any of this stuff with Pluto and getting lost in space.

Gold medal to Hikaru and Minmay for not panicking after getting transported in the middle of the space.

What the fuck is with the random decision to jump in atmosphere? I get they have no clue what it does, but surely they had no need to do it in the first place when they could have done it in space?

Why did the fold system disappear? Why did the anti-grav system fuck off? Is humanity driving the space battleship equivalent of a Ford Pinto?

Finally got started on that Macross train and I'm liking it quite a bit so far. Only problem is that the animation seems to be a bit choppy at parts and the subtitles aren't working very well about 5% of the time on Prime.

Still I'd take this series over something like Astra: Lost in Space any day of the week tbh

This show is stupid and yet so genius, I love it. They really got bamboozled by Space Fold system. Will be a long trip for sure.

I also find Hikaru's and Minmay's reactions to things hilarious. They certainly aren't right in the head lol. I guess they are made for each other.

I just looked up Focker's seiyuu, he played so many iconic roles! Even Kenshiro! He called Hayase "obaachan" lmao

Minmay squeak during the launch with Hikaru xD

That "fold" really gives me some Yamato flashbacks. But they teleported an entire island with them! :o

Captain global finally started smoking after he left the bridge xD
