----------------------------------------
Mm, a lot of buildup for the first half of the episode. I'm still very curious to know who Lady M is, who seems to be the boss that has been giving orders from behind the scenes.

Kinda disappointed that there's not much action in the end but Mirage is getting more relevance with her promotion. Hoping that she'll take her role well.

So no direct replacement for Messer, but instead they go for backup in numbers with both Alpha and Beta squads joining the action. And finally! Macross Elysium takes off and transforms in the process. Seems we will be getting big gun action next episode.

I wonder how Mirage getting promoted will affect the triangle.

that cold stare Mirage gave to Freyja. She know her real enemy, huh. :D
guess next episode will be exciting with Hayate vs Keith. then Freyja's song couldn't helped him and instead Mirage give him help with teamwork thing in OP.

9 disks syndicated, with 3 episodes per disk (apart from the first which will have 2?)" .. so 26 episodes. This has always been a 2 cour show.

I think it’s kinda unlikely for this Lady M to be Mylene, but it would be amusing to see her meeting her niece, or maybe they will introduce Mirage’s mom Miranda. Of course we have Milia but I assume she has already done enough in Macross 7.

Myung was involved in the idol industry with Sharon so it is a possibility for her to be managing Walküre. Having Misa or Minmay would be total a surprise, but how could you explain that. I don’t know if any other Lady with “M” should fit.

macross elysium takes off, exciting. :>
and mirage is still pretty irrelevant in the love triangle, let's see if that will change now.

So Elysium was not the only ship in the sector Star Trek style...
Nice transformation, I got some rumor on that the Elysion class is a 1/2, so twice as long(8times the volym?) as Quarter and half the size of NUNS battle.

I'm going to be so pissed if frejya is the winner of this love triangle. Please oh please let it be Mirage. It's going to be interesting to see how they deal with the white night, maybe a double team of mirage and hayate because anything other than that would be ass pull.

OMG! the best episode so far!

It's been so long since I've seen a Macross (Elysium) mother transform and go into action.

Can't wait for episode 13 when some real dog fighting starts in space :D

Team Freyja !!! Team Freyja !!! Team Freyja !!! Team Freyja !!! Team Freyja !!! Team Freyja !!!

I'll be fucken pissed if Hayate ends up picking Mirage at the end of the series, yea the girl has some decent features but come on Freyja has everything going for her plus she's only got 15 or a bit more years to live so it would be nice If Hayate ends up with the perfect girl Kawamori-sensei **

Kindred spirit! I was thinking the same thing though it was Minmay first then Mylene. I'm hoping for Minmay though but will be disappointing if it's Mikumo but that wouldn't make sense.

I'm really clueless how Mirage and Hayate is a thing? Training and worrying about Messer is all I can think as they would have Mirage be in a triangle outside of that I must be missing something. I need to see some new scenes with them to believe in this triangle cuz I only see Freyja and Hayate as more than potential couple and I'd be pissed as well if Mirage hooks up with Hayate the way things has been.

I don't think being "less annoying version of Ranka" counts as "perfect girl".

They took 12 episode for build up.... Are you fking kidding me..... It's like half of the show if it's 26 episodes. Hopefully we get around 30-40 with meaty stuff.

Mirage with Hayate seems so forced. Gosh....

Oh, my God, yes. That's probably why I'm having a hard time liking her, she's just like Ranka, and I couldn't STAND Ranka sometimes.

Also, while I'm glad that Mirage got the promotion and we're finally gonna see some real action again, I still can't help but feel the show is too underdeveloped at this point. Like the supporting cast could be a lot stronger. They've only developed two of them at all so far and one of them is dead... so... - -;

Well I haven't watched Macross F yet but I'm pretty sure I would've loved Ranka's personality I only find girls like Mirage who are to serious annoying, Freyja has a short life span but despite that shes always cheerful and wants to live her life to the fullest. Who wouldn't find her character loving, only Mirage fans.
