Misa and Hikaru is heavily implied during this episode and that's totally fine by me because any and all scenes between them two is gold imo. But, it's very obvious that Minmay isn't into Kaifun.

That last scene was great but to my perception it foreshadows so much of what is to come that it makes me kinda sad.

You don't say.

There shouldn't be a problem with reaching HQ, at least not from Zentradi. Making them see reason is another thing.

Ominous preview there, particularly after the missed meeting between Misa and Hakuri. Let's hope our two aces can save the day. Loved the little head thump that Misa gave herself as she realizes that she is giving advice to someone that she might be falling in love with herself.

Frankly I can't care that much about how Minmay feels right now. She really has had almost no direct interaction with Hikaru, other than the short hospital visit, for quite some time now.
Please don't feed the trolls!

I hope cultural corruption spreads more to Zentradi so that they become weak easily surrender :D
The war's outcome is going to be hilarius one, i think.

I'm really loving how their culture might be the thing that saves them.

So glad that Misa gave up on Kaifun, another step closer to Misa X Hikaru!

You can tell so easily that Misa has a soft spot for Hikaru. I may have this said before but I really love their relationship, the whole cafe scene and then that tiny bit during the battle.

I pray that Hikaru can save Misa. Really hope that ending scene where they JUST missed each other is not how it ends!

Took a break from Macross, now I'm back on track.
Director really brought up the cinematography compared to previous episodes.

@CodeBlazeFate -_- Yet again, a super accidental misunderstanding to keep Hikaru away from Minmei in order to not damage the bonding between him and Hayase. At least their cafe scene was pretty good and sounded right.

Also, how funny from Kaifun: he really took his desires for reality. XD (as if the "Kaifun-niichan" wasn't enough to understand Minmei's view)

The asile part was interesting, I didn't expect the superiors to still doubt the abducteds' reports after the Zentradis confirmation. By the way, why only three of all the deserting soldiers are shown?

2.5-/5 An important episode a bit deserved by its face drawings (the representation almost made up for them).

Interrogating 25 people at the same time isn't exactly the sanest thing to do, that would be a total clusterfuck

Hayase>>>Minmay easily.

All of the scenes with Hayase and Hikaru have been some, if not the most enjoyable scenes in the show to me. They just have so much chemistry and conversation just seems to flow. Damn shame they probably won't end up together.

Another misunderstanding... Rest of the episode was good tho. Minmay wasn't captured like I though might be the case.

The way episode ended, it almost looks like Misa is going to be the "star" of the next episodes (she was highlighted). Or does it mean that they parted ways and will never meet again? Please no

By the way, really curious to know why the creators of the show decided not to show Minmay's reaction to the deaths of Focker and Kakizaki. It's late to mention, but still, she kinda knew both of them.

Ngl Hikaru and Hayase deserve each other, just let Kaifun and Minmay do their shit together and let these two heroes be happy
