| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Well that's not good. Blowing up the island just to find the head :/ |
 |
| This series has been extremely well made so far. I dislike Frontier so much that I had no desire to see the other series, but I'm glad I picked up Zero regardless, hope it keeps it up. |

| Wow. This episode just showcases how amazing this series' animation is. I was stunned at how beautiful the animation was this episode not to mention the episode actually being great too. But I can't stress enough at how good the animation is in this show. It's, by far, this series' strongest point. |
| Damn...and there goes the entire jungle. I really enjoyed watching this series. The Hydrogen bomb at least, really gave the feeling of depth and reality. |
| They have that much asset at their disposal they can even spare not one but three high-impulse thermobaric weapons just to find two people and literally clean a forest as a consequence at that! O_o Love the forest night scenes, the fireflies... the CGI blended well too. Shin's singing was corny but I guess it was OK. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| There were some quite beautiful scenes in the jungle.Really well made. tofei said: Shin's singing was corny but I guess it was OK. Just a few seconds more and my ears would start bleeding. |

| Zzzzzzz..... |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Dam that blowing up the forest with hydrogen bombs was really well done I felt sad after that :(. Besides that the animation was awesome yet again but the singing sucked. |
 |
| The animation was awesome!! (like the previous eps) i was so sad to see the jungle being bombed!!! |
 |
| Surprise surprise, the old man was a bad guy. Didn't see that coming. [/sarcasm] Wow, this Aries bitch has some fast reflexes. Stop in the same moment Focker told her. How ridiculous haha. |
 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| 5/5 A tribute to nature, the denial of the war, this is Macross Zero. Plot that captivates for esotericism and mysticism, has convinced me. Engaging narrative, if the series started so everything would have been different! ^ _ ^ Drawing amazing, almost could not believe my eyes when I saw this OVA that the graphics department had improved so much. Characters very charismatic, I like them all! * _ * Beautiful animations, the Satelight is committed! : D Intriguing cliffhanger! ;) Rating of 5/5! ^ _ ^ |

| like holy shit in papa franku's terms: LESS GRASS-MOWING, MORE STORY PLIS and that settles it this shit is making ABsolutely no sense flying rocks song that destroys the world fuck So THIS is where James Cameron got his idea for Avatar It's almost like he completely ripped it off, sad to say |
| This episode, is the episode of the love, the nature and the spirituality :-P Although the last minute, transformed in the episode of the destruction :! |
| Operation Iconoclasm...a fitting name |
 Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022 |
| Finally Shin and Sara made some culture in the forest! Same for Focker and Aries. Very good, so far Macross Zero is better than Macross Plus - better characters, better overall setting and premise, etc. Though I'd say that anti-UN forces are kinda *too* one-sided and evil (though Nora mentioned rape and murder by UN soldiers at some point, her side still didn't get enough time to develop). People complaining about "flying stones"...hey, it's a franchise with an ancient civilization mastering genetics and fold technology, and the stones are their legacy, it's not unbelievable in the context of this OVA. I hope that the last episode will explain remaining uncertainties (or give hints for me to do it myself). For instance, the seemingly absent (so far) effect of this OVA's events on SDF Macross. If Protoculture was discovered before the war with Zentradi...Am I supposed to think that it was a super secret thing only for absolute top brass? P.S. Nudes in the flashback lol. I guess it's some sort of "spiritual purity" |

| Macross Zero might be one of the better examples of a return-to-nature story I've seen in a while. This includes the Ghibli marathon I had recently. Simply put, civilized people bringing war to a peaceful village and thereby annihilating their island. It's not just a physical destruction either, it's also cultural desecration. In this case, globalization steals people and land. It transforms language and traditions. It teaches people, whom used to fight with comparatively privative ways, about weapons of mass destruction. Whatever people do, we'd turn anything we'd find into a weapon, and turn it on ourselves out of greed, pride, and fear. Though Macross Zero, civilized society is shown to be a form of corruption, and it's a wonder how we've survived this long. Damn. |
