That was quite intense, it really is taking a more dramatic tone now compared to the two first episodes.
The fights were pretty awesome as well.

I gasped when Isamu accidentally punched Myung.

How is Sharon connected to the Ghost X-9, besides sharing the AI-perfecting chip?

Interesting that Sharon loves Isamu more... Could that be reflective of Myung's true feelings? I was getting the vibe that Myung preferred Guld.

But we still don't know what accident happenen 7 years ago. I wonder if they'll give us some explanation or it remains unclear? But it couldn't be some childs play if the guys are still fighting over it 7 years after.

It looks like main characters were modelled from real people, from a real love triangle.
So i can't make myself to hate any of them they all feel like crystal sculptures which were broken by falling to ground by themselves alone.

All right here, nigga

So far, this shit feels more like a Ghost In The Shell than Macross, what with AI and shit.

I so fucking want to see Ichijo, Hayase, Minmay, Max, or even just Global. COME ON GIBE DE PUSI b0ss

I guess we are now into AI gone out-of-control territory? Nice to have Love becoming the source of the threat here (opposed to Macross ' resolution tool).
Isamu hotbloodedness is fine, but there are limits. This series is showing nothing but seriousness and yet you have behaviours as senseless as in Macross.

As much as I find the love triangle funny (for their age) and AI intrigues potentially interesting, there is nothing here to keep it interesting over four OAVs

3/5 So, heu... Sharon gonna hijack the AI controlled prototype and be the final boss? :D I wonder how Guldo will die, I hope the two rivals will combine their skills against Apple.

Ah? The characters seems just enough to fit their role (not sure though if they fit their adult appearance).
I don't find them deep. I would like to know what is giving them "depth"?

the love triangle isn't that deep. girl likes the impulsive and reckless bad boy over the prone to violence fake "nice guy".

the scope of the story increased a bit with the AI situation, now its not just two guys being jerks to each other.

Fine episode with a crucifixion at the end. Looks like Watanabe just wanted to explore some new themes like AI and utilize new techniques (all this 3D animation during folds and Sharon's performances). Of course we have a "mad scientist" and a guy with the glasses of Bask Om. Kate's husband wears socks with sandals, STYLE!

A running theme in Macross Plus is the usage of AI to replace humanity, either for efficiency in war or to provide the perfect mold for entertainment. They're unable to escape the need for people to supply emotions and thought, for better or worse. If humanity ever decides to go full AI control, then it would only end in disaster. Also, from the idol concert scene, I originally thought the coloring and cinematography reminded me of Perfect Blue, but now I definitely see it. What happens when an AI persona gains sentience? In this evolutionary step, what place does humanity have in the wake of AI attaining independence?

That was an intense and very dramatic episode for the love triangle. I really loved so many scenes again and some of the dialogue exchanges were superb.

Very excited to see this final showdown between Isamu, Guld, Myung and Sharon.
