The initial scene in this episode is FANTASTIC! The relaxing/psychadelic "virtual concert" had superb music and animation, I freaking loved it.

I loved the concert, so trippy! I'm not sure if Sharon Apple's songs are my favorite Macross Idol's songs ever, but the visuals were AMAZING.

I also really liked Kate and her husband and their cute kids; way to go, Macross, featuring an interracial romance between two characters who seem like real people and not stereotypes.

That electrical fire was suspenseful - but why set it on purpose, if you're just going to warn both of Myung's boyfriends?

The hacker is such a creep, "kidnapping" Sharon. :P

I'm really loving this OAV.

This is definitely a solid series so far. I'm watching this one and Macross Zero at the same time. While not as nice visually this one has a much more interesting story to me 2 episodes in than Zero does. Good stuff!

Kate sang Minmay's song LOL~

I really like the intense fights between Guld and Isamu but now I wanna know what happened between those three. I expect something truly dramatic and terrible happening~

Yeah, that concert scene was probably one of the best scenes I've ever seen. It was trippy and pretty much everything else Veethorn said.

Oh Macross! You and your trippy concerts. I suppose Sheryl's concerts aren't all that over the top after all. Though I'm still a little creeped out by how so many people are mesmerized by that A.I. The fact that it nearly killed two people doesn't win it any points either. Guld and Isamu are just having the biggest, most expensive dick waving contest in those mobile suits right now. But I guess that skirmish got a little too personal. Great episode!

woah .. This is mess i can't tell who's good who's bad guy anymore ..
So my thoughts >
basically idol AI singer hacked into all systems in concert place and sent warning message to both dudes as reaction to Myu's "I hate everything, i wanna disappear" feelings and Guld won the race while Myu most likely had sex with Guld from.. desperation?

Those two turned the test flight into a wrestling match and the mechanics and stuff were all cheering their respective planes on, hahaha!

Glad to see that other people disliked/were creeped out by the concert scene. I wonder if the creators made it like that intentionally?? Other than that, I'm enjoying the ova so far.

While I wasn't a fan of Minmei's early songs, I could understand the phenomenon given the factors (voice, body, promotion, situation). This time, I was wondering why I was still hearing and watching the concert: was this a "song"? and the random succession of meaningless scenes only shined in the quality of the pictures (though, not a fan of the computer spheres and all). Nine minutes of pure boredom (too bad it was necessary to watch it).
The whole time, it was like observing sect people fascinated by their guru with no idea why.

What else? Two men unable to control their urge for competition, a woman who subconsciously aggravates it by setting up a race between them for a night of comfort sex.

It was nice to hear Minmay's song ^.^ it made me smile <3
This episode was not bad, although it could be better :/ I want to see what happened to that trio's past. Sharon's songs are ok though :)

Yeah, agreed about the concert scene having great and trippy visual's but I wasn't feeling the songs AT ALL. If you can even call them that lol. So someone has been messing with the AI? And hopefully they reveal the beef between Isamu and Guld next episode.

Wow, I instantly recognized Kouji's Morimoto style in Sharon's concert, he key animated large chunks of it. Cool and very trippy (Minmay's songs are better though). I hope nobody got a seizure lol.

The legendary Norio Wakamoto playing Dr. Worth, yesssss. He sounds as awesome as always, even if his role is so minor. I guess the main conflict will be just about the trio and their love triangle + AI hacking?

Also gotta appreciate Watanabe's typical interracial stuff, definitely makes the city and its inhabitants more "real"

That concert sequence was incredible both in terms of the music and the visuals.

Isamu continues to be a joy in every scene.

The cut of the clothes round the bed to the reveal of Isamu got a laugh and a mini applause from me.

Another outstanding episode

Looks like it’s been said to death, but the concert was stunning.

Also hearing a song from SDF Macross was like a big shock for me for whatever reason, lol.
