Another hilarious episode.

"This is culture!?"

Yes, trannies, perverts and violent women. Earth culture!

Been wondering how the seagoing carriers Prometheus and Daedalus survived the Macross atmospheric reentry intact. They must have magically coated their hulls with ablative heat shielding or something! XD Oh my, here I go again, gomen nasai...

Well at least the alien spies were funny.

They're really getting their use out of Minmay's song, aren't they?
Those spies were definitely the highlight of the episode. I wonder what kind of zany misadventures they'll have next?

You just noticed that? I thought it was made pretty clear ever since that episode where they took a photograph together when Hikaru told her he was going to battle for the first time. She took it as if he was talking about going to a goddamned party or something, and even Hikaru is kind of shocked with her reaction and thinks something like "ya know, I could be dead tomorrow..."

She's not heartless she's just fickle. And she's not the kind to dwell on metaphysical problems: if she doesn't care, it shows.

I just don't think she's really mature enough to care about anyone in more than a strictly superficial way. However that reception where she treated Hikaru in exactly the same way as she treated the other two (except for the wink and comment about fame) should really tell him something. To be fair, she's young and maybe she has no intention of settling down or committing to a serious relationship until she fulfills her dream of becoming an idol--but in that case it sucks to be him...

As for the three stooges, they provided quite a few laughs. I'm sure they'll give us more before they're done. I'm wondering what their reaction will be if they wander into that red light district (erm....excuse me...entertainment district) that we saw earlier in the series.
Please don't feed the trolls!

The band of three minor hooligans has ascended to the rank of Comedy Relief!

I'm really glad that they didn't kill off Hikaru's subordinates (like they probably would have in many of today's shorter series,) it really does feel like they're given more substance instead of merely being supporting characters.

Yoooo @ the fanchants during Minmay's performance though. Best part of the whole episode.

Not even going to ask how the super-massive Macross ship crash lands into the ocean without causing a giant tsunami, let alone suriving the impact perfectly intact. #macrosslogic

At first I thought Minmay did the kiss on the cheek to the other dudes besides Hikaru because she didn't want to play favorites once she saw how the crowd reacted but I guess, yeah it could just be that she didn't care.

It looks like the three Ztreadi are enjoying their time on the ship lol.

Minmay's been a bit of a soulless character so far.

The episode was quite ugly. And then Minmei started to sing.
(@CodeBlazeFate the animators sure know where their priority lies xD)

The beginning of the spies adventure looks like something I will like. (the dress joke was easy to see coming, but I don't mind)

3/5 Can't MALers let Minmei alone -_-

They never will. She is definitely one of the most hated characters of the pre-2000's along the likes of Quess (fuck Quess, and I actually like Minmei, especially in DYRL)

LOL and here I thought Minmay must have finally sorted out how she feels about Hikaru after she learned that he went missing.
At this point, he should just start dating Misa instead. They make a much better couple anyway.

Those 3 stooges bumbling around experiencing the "horrors" of earth culture was the best part of the episode.

The antics of the Zentradi spies cracks me up.

L-O-V-E HAPPY MINMAY!

Misa and Vermillion Flight are back on the Macross and the Macross is back on Earth.

As expected, watching Zentradi trio discovering "culture" is quite amusing.
Also didn't expect them to return to Earth so soon, I guess they will be flung into space again, just wonder how.

This episode has some great Engrish in it, like the toilet for "LADEIS" xD

One thing I don't get though is why the reunion scene of Minmay and Hikaru wasn't shown, he clearly was running towards the restaurant at the end of episode 12. Plus she clearly cared about Hikaru after hearing about him from Focker back then.
